Ellery Venus flare dress, Acne Studios mape leather jacket, Mansur Gavriel bucket bag, Charlotte Olympia aquarius flats (not pictured) 2015 marks the 20th year of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in Australia – which, you’ve gotta admit, is a pretty big deal. I’m normally not one to skip out on Fashion Week, but given so much has happened (and is still yet to happen) this year, I thought it was probably best to take a back seat; for a change. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt, Fashion Week looks glamorous, but in reality, it’s anything but. The days are always long,…
J Brand photoready skinny jeans Lately, I’ve really been focusing on those ‘wear with everything’ pieces. You know, the ones which work for most situations, can be simply mixed and matched with (hopefully) at least half your wardrobe, and still allow you to cultivate your own sense of personal style. A pair of classic black skinnies – J Brand’s photo ready jeans in this instance – are one of those pieces which just fit the bill. For the Project 333 Wardrobe Challenge, I placed a huge emphasis on selecting pieces which were undeniably simple, worked with the majority of what…
It’s taken me almost a year, but I’ve finally managed to work my way through a tube of Aesop’s Resurrection hand balm. Like any beauty product which finds itself tucked away in the folds of my handbag, it has been very well loved, if not occasionally forgotten – it can be a black hole in there occasionally.

Not all of us…
Ellery venus flare shift dress, Celine trio in lavender, Charlotte Olympia panda flats, Kate Spade knot bracelet I’ve been sitting on these photos for a while now; and it’s really hard to say why I’ve waited so long to post them. But it’d be safe to say that they just got a little lost once the great engine of life kicked into gear this past month or so. This year – 2015 – has been a year of simplification in every sense. Thick, buttery chunks of pumpkin roasted and served with feta and little else, rainy afternoons spent indoors watching…
This past month has been a month of pampering. Regular body scrubs, weekly baths, and nourishing mud masks for the face. Given I’ve been getting a little bit of eczema on my face (which I mentioned in my previous post), and had extremely dry lips, I’ve been trying to give both a little extra T-L-C. My favourite lip combo for the month has been a nightly lip scrub using the Mint Julep lip scrub from Lush, and a heavy slathering of Bite Beauty’s Agave Lip Mask to deeply moisturise my lips. It’s been the only combination of lip products that…
