That time of year is here… the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is upon us for 2023, and as I typically do, I wanted to share a round up of my favourite finds from the sale. I’ve gone through every single page, and cherry picked the best of the best (in my opinion). For those of you who don’t know why this sale is such a BIG deal, basically you’re getting access to new season stock, at up to 40% off. A great way to save on your seasonal wardrobe budget. SHOPPING TIPS KEY DATES There’s a tiered system to access the…
Whenever I’m considering a new wardrobe purchase, a few questions cross my mind. Do I like the fit? How does the fabric feel? Does the colour work within my existing wardrobe? Is it within my budget (and what I’m willing to pay)? Is it reflective of my actual life, or a fantasy self purchase? But the one question that will always seal the deal?

I’ve had a bit of a dialogue lately around fit, and how we’re seeing a shift back towards slimmer proportions.

When we do crave comfort, it’s in less of a slouchy, oversized kind of way. I do love a bit of proportion play – time and a place –…
One thing I was reflecting on recently, is how our beauty routine ebbs and flows. From an elaborate multi-step regime, to one that is pared back. Minimal even.
