Sometimes, when I’m searching for a pair of shoes, I feel a little like Prince Charming must have felt as he searched out Cinderella with her dainty glass slipper. Nothing seems quite right, and the pair that I forever seem to be looking for is all elusive. For me, it’s the hunt for the perfect pair of black heels. A bit of height, a slightly pointed toe, and a patent or suede finish isn’t a lot to ask for, but it seems surprisingly difficult to find a serious contender. While I tend to turn to designer shoes for most of…
Topshop wide collar pea coat I know how difficult it can be to find a coat for winter, so when I come across a style I like, I’m pretty quick to add it to my wardrobe, within reason of course. Considering how few coats I actually own, you can imagine that this doesn’t happen very often. I spotted this Topshop peacoat while in Karen Walker earlier today, and while they didn’t have my size in-store, a quick search on the Topshop website yielded the coat in question.

With less than a week until New Zealand Fashion Week kicks off, I’m starting to find myself thinking a lot about all the small errands I need to get done by Monday. Things like changing my flights, picking up drycleaning, picking up shoes from the cobbler, picking up laybys, and finally getting around to packing my bag.

For Spring, I like to dial it down a notch, and this year I envision myself playing up the lips a little with just a slick of mascara on my lashes. I’ll be keeping my nails fairly subtle, with a few…
So, I think I’m having a bit of a moment with RUBY. It’s hard not to with the recent news that they’ll be releasing a capsule collection of 15 RUBY ‘favourites’; some of the most popular RUBY pieces from past collections, in a nutshell. Even more exciting to see is that Zippora Seven was cast for the campaign and she could not be more perfect at capturing the youthful and carefree aesthetic of the RUBY brand.
