One of my non-negotiables for comfortable summer style is natural fibres. Primarily cotton and linen, but I’ve started to wear a bit more silk too. Nestled in there is the idea that I’m not saving things for “best”. A mantra I’ve shared before, and will share again, but I’m leaning into that desire to just wear the clothes. Maintenance and care obviously being a factor here, as I’m lucky if I can last a half day before one of my kids grabs what I’m wearing with grubby fingers. Anyway, here’s a week of summer outfit ideas. OUTFIT #1 | Grana…
Been thinking a little bit about how I like to wear colour and create contrast and cohesion in my outfits. And one thing that struck me is around the way I’ll typically wear an outerwear piece. Something I seem to crave and desire – right now, that is – is a consistency in the tones, saturation and depth of colour between my top and outerwear. So, in the first example, wearing a cardigan that is richer in depth, cool-toned, and grey-leaning. Reflecting these same qualities in my choice of outerwear. Which seems to have translated to the bag as well,…
These lip crayons have been rattling around in my drawer for a couple of months now, and I thought it was high time I finally shared my thoughts. A full review, along with swatches of the seven shades [PR] that I have. So, let’s review the Laura Mercier Petal Soft Lipstick Crayon.

Happy New Year! I hope your 2023 has been off to a marvellous start. Out of habit now, I like to spend the first few days of the year reflecting, so it’s only fitting to kick off my first post of the year with a retrospective on my 2022 style. More specifically, the items I actually wore the most. Based on hard data from tracking my daily outfits throughout the year. For those curious, it’s a primitive method. Noting down each piece on my phone, before transferring it into a rather large excel document at the end of each season.…
