It’s not every day that you stumble across a new designer whose outlook is so decidedly fresh, that you kind of want to own everything in the collection. Well, that’s how I felt when I stumbled across Lily Stan Studio, a (dare I say) minimal approach to dressing with a focus on soft tones and natural fibres (and modelled by Madelynn of Wide Eyed Legless). I love the idea behind the collection. That each piece is designed to be a staple in your wardrobe, to be worn again and again, mixed with old favourites or new additions. Add tho that,…
Chanel Le Vernis in ‘Rose Confidentiel’ & ‘ April’ It wouldn’t be a holiday without picking up a little something from Duty Free. I decided to keep it simple and sweet, considering my make-up bag is already bursting at the seams. I dropped by the Chanel counter and picked up a pair of soft rosy red nail polishes, perfect for the Spring. Shop Chanel nail polishes below:
Karen Walker polka dot dress (similar), Celine trio (and it’s on sale too!!), Charlotte Olympia kitty flats Bare legged and jacketless, braving the winds of an icy Southerly; now there’s a Wellington welcome that I’ve not yet forgotten. Some things never change. Like my ever-growing appetite for angry coastlines with crashing waves, the need to eat salted caramel everything, or my incapability to leave Karen Walker empty-handed.

Equipment sleeveless blouse, Helmut Lang blazer, Ellery skirt (similar style), Celine cabas tote bag (cheaper alternative) This year truly has been the year of the wardrobe hero; the holy grail of bags, shoes and leather jackets. My focus has heavily been on building up the foundations of my wardrobe, which has generally meant quality over quantity. So why settle, right? Which might go some way in explaining how I ended up with a Celine cabas tote in my arms, a rather unplanned upgrade for my tan Cuyana tote which I’ve been dragging out rain or shine. I might not be…
Having heard so many good things about Everlane, it seemed almost irresponsible not to place an order for some of their much hyped cashmere sweaters and delicate silk blouses. I placed my order through a third-party mail forwarding service, Shipito, which provides you with a mailbox for use when ordering from the United States (and is good for purchases from Zara, Cos, and the like). I’ve used Shipito approximately 20 times over the last two years and haven’t had a single issue – an email alert is received when a package arrives in your mailbox, and you’re given multiple shipping…
