Stuart Weitzman ‘razmataz’ tasseled loafers in black suede Not too long after my love letter to Porselli, did they finally reach their limit – a small nail became exposed on the inner sole at the heel, which started to cut into my foot with every step. I could only tough it out for a few days before I resigned to the fact that I’d have to toss them. Rather than wait for a replacement (My Chameleon had sold out in my size!), I decided to seek out an alternative. Something low heeled. Something suede. And something which was smart enough…
I’m a little bit of a lazy cook. Anything that takes longer than 30-45 minutes to cook, or requires my sole attention, often gets put into the ‘too hard basket’. Which is why I think I caught Luke a little off-guard when I suggested that I might make a salmon chowder the other weekend. Notwithstanding the fact that I had never attempted a seafood chowder before, the entire process is quite labourious.

I’m sure I’m not alone when it comes to being just a little bit curious about the contents in other people’s wardrobe. So, I thought I’d let you all into a small part of my own; my burgeoning shoe collection.

I’ve been adding and subtracting to my wardrobe for so many years that nothing I’ve owned has ever truly looked a little worse for wear. The whole notion of conscious or conspicuous consumption is that you re-wear your core wardrobe pieces to the point that eventually you will need to replace them. They’ll start looking a little sad; the colour will fade, stains will become permanent, fabric will stretch, and holes will appear where they shouldn’t. I’ve had it happen before. The skirt I wore almost every other…
Witchery petal front tank, Lover cherry rosebud lace skirt, Isabel Marant poppy heels, Karen Walker rings I never truly understood the buzz around Melbourne Cup day; and what’s there to understand when you’re an ocean away, and the agenda of the day calls for more pressing concerns than which horse managed to run the fastest. But, as the old saying goes, ‘When in Rome…’. And what better way to celebrate than in a little bit of Lover lace? Get the look:
