From choosing the venue, to deciding on a photographer (not as easy as you would think!), to picking the dress, to bridesmaids, flowers, playlists, invitations and so on. It’s a production in itself, and honestly, some days I just wish we were eloping for simplicity’s sake! But, given we aren’t doing that, and I truly am looking forward to sharing our special day with a handful of close friends and family,I thought I’d give you all a little update on…
This time two years ago, if you’d asked me what my beauty routine was, you would have been presented with a very minimal series of products. A contour kit used as an all-over bronzer, a liquid eyeliner (which two years on is still my holy grail), and any mascara from Lancome. I’ve come a long way since then, or at least I’d like to think so. My vanity is close to bursting with beauty products, and while I don’t always reach for the foundation every morning, I’ve learnt the virtues of how to apply bronzer correctly. Since I figured I…
Karen Walker ‘take change’ dress If there’s one thing that seems to pop up on every ‘wardrobe essentials’ list I’ve ever come across, it’s the little black dress, and it isn’t without reason.

But, it’s really started to cool down in Sydney, and all I want to wear is a big snuggly knit and some washed black denim, and maybe, just maybe, a little bit of grey. I’m still in the process of finalising my autumn capsule, and I’ve found that taking it slow is the best way to approach it. Adding in pieces as the season goes…
Equipment sleeveless silk blouse (cheaper alternative), Lover drifter mini skirt (also here, and shorts version here), Valentino tango pumps (cheaper alternative), Cuyana leather tote bag This long weekend has been mostly about taking. things. slow. Falling asleep on the couch at 9.00pm, having a glass of wine or rum and coke as a mini night cap, nipping out to catch the last of the afternoon sun, and taking Nigel on some long leisurely walks (Charlotte, on the other hand, is most certainly going stir-crazy! Just two more days ’til her stitches come out). Unsurprisingly, I did manage to squeeze in…
