Topshop Kingdom ghillie flats The ghillie flat is really having a moment. Or, just lace up flats in general, if we’re really being honest. I got completely suckered in after spotting these on the feet of Michelle (enabler, much?); after scoring the last available pair in my size, I was quickly taken but just how worth the hype these are. I’m usually the last person to jump on a trend (flares just really aren’t my jam), and it’s a little known fact that anything which ties up around the ankle has a tendency to be far from flattering, but the…
Country Road stripe midi dress, Acne Studios mape leather jacket, Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, Charlotte Olympia kitty flats Sometimes all you need is to break out of your comfort zone a little. For me, it’s all about the silhouette. Lazy, languid, and loose; I’m generally the last person you would expect to see in anything more than a little fitted, but put a stripe on it and this girl is sold. They say that a leopard never changes its spots, but is it possible for a zebra to change its stripes – metaphorically speaking?
I’ve been counting down the days to Spring; sunsets which paint the sky like cotton candy, weekends pottering in the garden growing a crop of fresh veg, and any ol’ excuse to wear full and floaty skirts in gelati-hues, because, why not?

I’m of the belief that a new season shouldn’t demand an entire new wardrobe; instead, it’s more about re-working what you have and adding…
image source unknown I’ve been thinking a lot about perfection lately. The perfect candle, the perfect red lipstick, the perfect pair of ballet flats. It’s no secret that over the last couple of years, my wardrobe has become simple, easy, minimal even. I’ve been shifting my mindset to quality over quantity (although truthfully, to begin with, it was a bit of both…), and for the large part, I was consumed with the idea that everything I bought had to be perfect. The perfect leather trousers, the perfect button up silk blouse, the perfect pair of Chelsea boots. It’s the type…
I’ve written a lot about the different challenges that I’ve been undertaking in an effort to really reduce my spending on my wardrobe and focus on the basics or investment pieces as it were, and very little about much of what actually is in my closet. Verena of My Green Closet very recently tagged me on YouTube to share a little bit more about my wardrobe, so I thought I’d share it with you here too. I rather shamelessly enjoy watching videos like this (and makeup collection videos – even if they are terribly enabling!) so had a bit of…
