T by Alexander Wang l/s striped top (cheaper alternative), Lover the label leather skirt (similar in white or a faux leather alternative), Charlotte Olympia kitty flats, Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel Today marked my last working day for the year, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wake up this morning already in holiday mode. Tomorrow is going to be jam-packed with errands, as I spruce up the apartment (with a little help) and pick up some last minute Christmas treats, fresh seafood, and a super-sized bottle of Pimms (because what’s Christmas without an all-too-easy-to-drink cocktail). Basically your typical…
I wanted to just quickly check in and update you all on a few new additions to my wardrobe. We might be in the midst of summer (and golly is it hot), but I’ve been focusing on picking up a few pieces more appropriate for cooler weather. You could say I’ve been doing some very forward wardrobe planning. A chambray shirt: I let go of my Country Road chambray shirt a little while back, and seriously regretted it ever since. I had been planning on upgrading to one from Acne (and I kinda did, except I realized it was all…
all photos taken using an iPhone 5 I spend about 85% of the time on my iPhone trawling through Instagram, for that instant dose of visual inspiration and gratification. I can’t be the only one, can I? I often get a little bit lost scrolling through an endless flow of perfectly edited (and curated) photographic imagery; the ante has definitely been upped since I first joined Instagram. Remember those faux bokeh light filters which were all the rage or the incessant use of the Valencia filter? For those of you wishing to up your Instagram photo game – and I…
Popbasic milk silk blouse (c/o), Karen Walker skirt, Karen Walker x Benah Sloane satchel; beauty note – Revlon matte lip balm in Standout Remarquable on the lips There is nothing more classic than a white (silk) shirt and a bold red lip. Even more so in the holiday season when it’s red-lips-a ’plenty, and you don’t want your outfit to make more of a statement than that bold lip you’re wearing (hint: keep it easy and wear neutral shades). It’s that effortless nonchalance, and when paired with a slim cigarette cut trouser, looks ever so gamine. With only one more…
Ivory ‘milk’ silk blouse c/o Popbasic If there’s one thing a girl can never have too much of, it’s a simple silk button up shirt. It’s one of those classics which will never leave you not feeling polished, even when you’ve rolled out of bed with only ten minutes to spare before you need to get on your way to work; I promise. Which would explain why I was pretty excited to hear about Popbasic’s kickstarter project for two silk blouses (the first of many, I hope), one in an ivory milk shade, and one in a playful strawberry print.…
