As someone who has worked all ends of the spectrum; from check-out girl in my early teens, to the office job I have now, one thing that has always been instilled in me is the importance of having a great work wardrobe to pull from, to ensure that you look smart, professional, and confident. I’ve always been of the mind that a work wardrobe should carefully tow the line between your own personal style, and any dress codes you have at your work. I’ll admit, I didn’t always get it right (wearing platform sandals on a daily basis in a…
Karen Walker slanting frill top (similar and in white), Country Road pencil skirt, Acne Studios leather jacket, Isabel Marant heels, KW x Benah satchel (newer style & I also love this style), ASOS sunglasses, The Peach Box earrings (similar) It should be pretty obvious by now that anything and everything in the colour black is a mainstay in my wardrobe.

It’s become a little bit of a uniform of mine; partly due to years…
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately; about wardrobe minimalism, capsule wardrobes, and what it all means to me. For the uninitiated, capsule wardrobes are a carefully curated sub-section of your wardrobe generally limited to the 30 item mark, designed to cater to a specific season, or in some cases, seasons.

I’ve been keeping this palette to myself for the last few months, but I really wanted to make sure that it was worth its salt before I shared with you just how good this is. I was dead set keen on nabbing their latest offering, the ‘in bloom’ palette (or Amazonian Clay 2), as along with a decent array of mattes, it included three shimmer shades, something which felt a little lacking from Tarte’s original Amazonian Clay Palette. In the palette, you get 12 shades; 9…
Hope grand sweater (lighter option here OR similar more affordable option here) If there’s one thing that you can bet your boots that I’ll be wearing all winter long, it’s this oversized ‘grand’ sweater from Hope. I don’t deal well with the cold (says the girl who wants to spend three weeks in Scandinavia during their winter…) so anything warm and snuggly has been alllll I’ve wanted to reach for these days, even if that means showing up to work looking like a peach coloured marshmallow. Typically, I’ll throw it on with a pleated skirt and a pair of heels…
