With most days seeing the barometer hit the low thirties (which is nothing to scoff at – trust me!) I’ve taken to stripping my daily beauty routine back a notch. Tropical weather and humidity aren’t exactly kind, and aside from wondering what a good hair day actually looks like, I’ve been dialing down the number of cream and liquid-based products I use. Any kind of base has gone out the window – I opt for a more fresh-faced look, as my foundations are unlikely to last past morning tea. Instead, I’ve been starting with a small amount of bronzer brushed…
Max Mara heels While I’m planning to talk in more detail about why I think a classic black court shoe is such an essential piece to have in your wardrobe, I thought I’d share one of my more recent additions with you. Low, silver block heel, pointed toe, and a slick glossy leather, these are everything I’ve been searching for, and then some. As much as I love a good four inch heel, they don’t make for the best of companions when you’re walking a good six kilometres (or more) every day. These low heeled beauties from Max Mara on…
Constellation print in indigo*, Point Lobos Flash print* Perhaps a little disheartened by Nigel destroying my beloved Beni Ourain, I’ve been slow to decorate – especially when you take into account that we’ve been living in our little slice of suburbia for almost a year now.

So instead of trying to pull it together all at once, I’m…
Everlane u-neck t-shirt, Lover white denim skirt (similar), ASOS bandana, Cuyana tote bag (also love this Madewell one), KW x Pointer suede loafers (similar) This is one for the weekend (or a casual Friday in the office, if you can get away with it, like me).My new favourite accessory to wear with anything that is just slightly too low cut for me is a bandana, tied loosely around the neck. I picked mine up from ASOS, although have a bunch of mum’s vintage silk scarves tucked away in my drawer, which I’ll be pulling up this winter to jazz up…
2016 seems to be the year of challenges; the 30 day minimalism challenge, the project 333 wardrobe challenge, and now, the five piece French wardrobe challenge. With a lot of fulfilling experiences and memories to look forward to in the next eight months, it felt only natural to try and make our home life (or should I say.. my wardrobe) a little bit lighter. For those of you who weren’t around this time last year, the 5PFW Challenge has three rules: – Only 5 key pieces per season – Basics don’t count – Shoes and accessories do count There are…
