It’s not often that I walk into a store and am absolutely floored. But visiting Lonely’s recently opened Wellington boutique during a trip home earlier this month was nothing short of special. From the unassuming shop front – a marbled concrete wall with the words ‘lonely’ inviting you in, to the minimal and industrial interior, complete with plush velvet sofas and curtains which beg you to stay and shop a while, it’s hard not to find yourself browsing the racks a little longer than you’d intended (or in my case – leaving with a shopping bag in hand…).

Brandy Melville linen tee (similar here), ASOS mom jeans, ASOS sunglasses, Zara pumps (similar here), Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel, Paul Hewitt watch Back when I lived in Wellington, every winter was a struggle – I never had anything to wear, and about 90% of my wardrobe was geared towards warmer weather.

My special occasion wear consists primarily of three little black dresses – a capsule of sorts – that I reach for a few times a year for…
Whether that be some new wardrobe staples, a bold new lip colour, or an update to your home decor; a little bit of a refresh can be a welcome change. Since getting my autumn wardrobe in check, I’ve had my eye on my next project – our living space.
