ASOS lace striped dress, Opening Ceremony heels (similar), Teddy Blake ‘carla’ nano Over the last couple of years, I’ve made the odd mention about my intentions to shop less, following the principle of quality over quantity. While I’m more than a little embarrassed at how much I actually shopped in 2013 and 2014, last year’s total was a little more manageable, and a big step in finally attaining that goal. For those even a little bit curious, I ended up with a total of 56 new items in my wardrobe last year – clothing, shoes, bags and accessories – with…
image source; nouba @ The Atrium So we’re a little under nine months away from the big day – wedding day, that is – and I’m already beginning to have nervous nightmares. From playlists which were never created, to a curious lack of any discernible menu, to rain pouring so hard that even the bravest of brides wouldn’t consider setting foot out the door.

Karen Walker x Sephora brush set, Karen Walker x Sephora compact mirror Given this was announced back in July of last year, I’m a little late to the game, but after finally getting my paws on Karen Walker’s *recent* collaboration with Sephora, I just had to share.

For those of you who are feel otherwise inclined where mail forwarding is involved (Sephora is a tricky one), limited stocks of each are available from Karen Walker boutiques in…

Given I sold this skirt during the final days of 2015 via my Tictail, it’s a little bittersweet, but a reminder that photos can capture more than just a memory. Happy Sunday everyone!
Dries Van Noten shirt (similar), Lover lace skirt I doubt I even need to put into words why the humble white shirt is a cult classic that needs to be in your closet. Over owned them in many iterations over the years; with darts down the front (oh… the nineties..!), with bell flared sleeves, short sleeves, ties at the waist, with pockets and without. One thing that’s always remained clear, is that’s it is undeniably one of the most effortless ways to look chic – whether you’re preparing for a job interview, another day in the office, or a frenzied…
