Christian Dior Addict Lip Glow When it comes to lipstick, my approach is almost as relaxed as it is in the kitchen, if not more so. I probably wear lipstick about 10% of the time, which is why I decided I would give the Christian Dior ‘Dior Addict Lip Glow’ a shot. It’s the kind of lipstick which doesn’t bear thinking about. You slick it on and go. There’s no worrying if your lips look uneven (possibly my biggest concern on a lipstick-wearing day), no worrying if the colour suits you, and no need to really worry about touch-ups. The…
Karen Walker ‘take change’ dress, Alexander Wang anjelika sandals, Cuyana tote bag (similar here) The Little. Black. Dress. It really needs no introduction; it has a place on every list detailing the wardrobe basics you must have (and believe me, there are a lot). This latest addition of mine has already proven to work double and triple duty, as its become my first choice for a lazy trip down to the beach, a casual drink out with friends, or layered over a shirt for work. It’s times like these that I wish getting a back up wasn’t out of the…
With my studies behind me, I’ve taken the opportunity to read for pleasure p-r-e-t-t-y seriously, working my way through collections of personal essays, Lena Dunham’s ‘Not that kind of girl’ and topics of a more serious nature like human trafficking and the misgivings of the humanitarian aid system as it currently stands.

Coddington’s memoirs are an unabashedly a candid account of her loves, her life, and all its misgivings. But most of all, it’s about Vogue.…
We’re more than halfway through the 30×30 wardrobe challenge, and while I’m questioning my decision to only include suede closed toe shoes on a day that is pouring down with rain, I’ve found the bags that I selected (the Celine trio and cabas) to both align pretty closely with my lifestyle, and the weather. So on that note, I thought I would give you all an idea of what I carry around in my handbag on a daily basis – notwithstanding the days I take my Celine cabas to work, as in addition to the items below, you’ll usually find…
Equipment silk blouse, Helmut Lang blazer, Ellery floral skirt (similar), Isabel Marant poppy heels, Celine cabas tote with gusset (more affordable option), Le Specs sunglasses I’ve been trying really hard to stay away from the sample sales. And I mean really hard. It’s a little disarming to live in a city where a sample sale seems to be on every week (or every other week), touting discounts of up to 70% off (and sometimes more) and one-off pieces which never made the full collection. Sounds tempting, right? And when it’s Ellery.. well, there really was no question about whether or…
