So in an ode to my spring/summer preferences, I’ve been trying to soften up my winter wardrobe’s colour palette, with a few key pieces. Let’s start with my coat; I wore this in a recent blog post where I was brave…
I’ve been thinking a lot about my consumption lately, and more so, just how many new things I seem to have bought in the last six months alone. While I’m no minimalist by any means (and I doubt I ever will be!), I’m firmly of the thought that we should only own what we love, and that this should fit within our means; both financially, and from the perspective that we can only consume so much.

My sister-in-law kindly snapped this photo of me during our recent trip home to New Zealand, and it sums up what I’ve been wearing a lot lately very neatly.
