Some time ago, I read this quote about shopping for your wardrobe, which has really stuck with me. Buy less, choose well. It’s become something of a goal that I’ve aspired to. To cultivate an attitude towards shopping which results in less mistakes, and more triumphs at the end of the day. To realize that those wool lined Acne Studios culottes you’ve wanted for the last year aren’t practical, or affordable – well, not if you’re planning on eating out a couple of times a week, or wanting to put aside a little bit of your income for ‘a rainy…
Wearing J. Crew silk front tank The festive season has now well and truly begun – and since it is the season to be jolly, I couldn’t think of a better way to spread a little Christmas cheer than a giveaway to all my readers. I’m not sure how well you all know me by now, but there’s no denying how obviously impossible it is for me to leave a Karen Walker store without picking up a little something something.

In the past I had never been able to justify the price…

I’ve already pulled out the sandals – which will no doubt be a permanent fixture on my feet until February – and traded in my long sleeved button up blouses for sleeveless ones. The more obvious things really. Not so obvious, were the subtle changes I would need to make to my skincare and beauty regime. Sydney Summers are typically known to…
With my 30×30 wardrobe challenge now over, I thought I’d share with you a few thoughts on how I went, the third time around. Truthfully? it felt like a walk in the park.
