You don’t have to school me on the timelessness of a blazer; for me, they’ve been a closet essential for over a decade. Choose wisely, and the right one will work with every single outfit, and last you years and years. My first major splurge? One from Helmut Lang. No longer in my closet (fell victim to a ruthless closet purge), but one I think of fondly as it also marked the start of my journey of buying high quality, classic pieces. For me, their high status in my closet is marked by their utility and versatility. Clearly a focal…
This outfit is definitely not “jeans and a nice top”, but the recent conversation around the simple pairing that was the epitome of chic during my late teens has absolutely tickled me. Mostly because it’s had me reflecting on my own style evolution, and the memories associated with some of my more “out there” looks. Wearing Esse Studios dress; Mara & Mine sandals (brand is on hiatus but these are similar and cute!); Polene micro bag; Mejuri earrings While my taste has changed a lot since then, there’s one thing that hasn’t. My desire to maximise the utility of every…
My wardrobe is now fully unpacked, and almost all organised. Which has been exciting as I’ve been rediscovering some of my old favourites, while finding new ways to wear them. I’ve had some of my favourites tucked away in storage for almost two years now, so I’m rediscovering them; something I’m finding a lot of joy in from a sartorial perspective. This week, I’m sharing five types of outfit combinations I’m planning to wear on repeat this season. All simple, but for me a reflection of the mood I’m currently in. Think monochromatic outfits where I pair racerback tanks or…
Checking in to share a quick example of layering when it’s still warm out. We tend to have a drawn out summer here in Sydney, so despite my desire to start layering on knitwear, trenches, scarves and the like, I’m usually still reaching for my denim shorts in mid-April. An easy way to do this though is to add on layers which still reveal some skin. Wearing DISSH black maxi dress; Raey sleeveless blazer (jacket version – 50% off); YSL slides; Polene mini bag; Arms of Eve sunglasses; Mejuri earrings This sleeveless, munched up blazer is a good example of…
The trench coat is a timeless fashion staple that never goes out of style. It’s worth highlighting that an item isn’t a “must-have” for your closet based on whether it is timeless or not. But that said, the trench coat is a workhorse in my wardrobe that I keep returning to year after year. This versatile outerwear piece is perfect for this time of year. I love that you can get playful with colour, texture and length depending on your style preferences. As we move deeper into the transitional season, I wanted to share a week’s worth of trench coat…
