If there’s one piece in my wardrobe that I think I’ll still be reaching for well beyond my 50s, it’s good denim; be it a skirt, a jacket, shorts, or a flattering pair of jeans. It’s one of the few things that I’d be surprised to hear most people don’t own, in some form or another. My favourite is undoubtedly the skinny jean – it’s a mainstay for me, and I find the most flattering shape that I’ve come across for my figure. But whether it’s a skinny jean, a bell bottom flare, a boyfriend jean or something entirely different…
I don’t think I’ll ever forget the road that led to my very first designer handbag purchase. It was five years ago now, and I’d spent two years utterly and completely obsessed with Proenza Schouler’s PS11 satchel, which at the time, sold out almost as quickly as it landed on the shelves. I’ve told this story a few times now, but I dragged my bestie to about 11 department stores across the US in search of this bag, only to fall short each and every time. In the end, I bought it from the only place I could find it;…
T by Alexander Wang stripe top, Frame Denim skinny jeans, Everlane trench coat, Acne Studios jensen boots, Teddy Blake ‘carla’ nano bag* Today is an ode to the classics. The beige trench, the skinny jean, and my personal favourite, the Breton striped tee. I’ve been playing it (mostly) safe, as we head into winter, and those classic fail safe pieces always just happen to be the easiest thing to grab on those rushed mornings – not to mention thankfully appropriate for a day in the office (if you work in a creative industry like me, that is). If there’s one…

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…
