Enza Costa striped top, ASOS black leather skirt, Alexander Wang kori oxford shoes, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Karen Walker bracelet, Diva necklace It seems I’m always hunting for the ‘perfect’ something. The perfect white blouse, the perfect pair of black skinny jeans, the perfect black leather skirt.. I picked up this black leather skirt last month from ASOS, when I had the good fortune of receiving a discount code for 20% off, which made it all the more difficult to resist. While it isn’t quite perfect, lacking the pockets I would have liked, and being slightly large so as to…
ASOS grey tank, Topshop skinny jeans, T by Alexander Wang cardigan, Alexander Wang emile tote, Celine heels (similar), Marc by Marc Jacobs katie bracelet, Karen Walker necklaces In addition to my recently imposed shopping ban, I’ve decided to undertake a small personal project – the thirty for thirty challenge.

KW brocade skirt & blazer, Glassons peplum top (similar), Charlotte Olympia kitty flats, Alexander Wang emile tote Still toting the tote, which has become a semi-permanent fixture on my arm due to the sheer amount of things that I can fit in here.

For instance, over the weekend I managed to fit my DSLR, wallet, notebook, water bottle and yoga gear with plenty of room to spare. It’s gotten me thinking about the debate on big…

I’m officially on a shopping ban. I’m not sure for how long, and I anticipate that I will allow myself the odd concession, but after somehow managing to hunt down every item on my Spring wishlist and then some, I get the feeling that there is very little updating that my wardrobe now needs. The list that I prepared for the Spring season appears to have coincided with a desire to…
Karen Walker dress, Helmut Lang blazer, Charlotte Olympia shoes It occurred to me the other day, how seldom I wear dresses in comparison with a few short years ago, when I would sub-consciously reach for them each morning, throwing an oversized cardigan over the top and calling it a day. Now, I probably opt for separates about 90% of the time, and the dress section in my closet has diminished greatly from the extensive amount of closet space it once took up. Why it’s taken me almost two years to notice this, I couldn’t even begin to explain, although I…
