One month down into my six month low buy, and I wanted to get into the habit of mirroring my updates on my YouTube Channel here on my blog. Just like in my video update, I’m going to split this post into a few key topics; shopping triggers, things that have been giving me joy, what I bought and how I spent my January budget, what gifting I received, and ending on some thoughts about the quiet luxury “trend”. SHOPPING TRIGGERS Historically, when I look over my purchases from the past five years, there’s a key trend. I shop the…
Celebrating turning another year older in this dream of a dress. A purchase I made in the last few months of 2021, as I tried to seek out a more budget-friendly alternative to this dress. Safe to say, I found it, and for someone who often falls back on white or black dresses, it’s a nice switch up with the check print.

This particular dress is from MLM Label, and it has lots of details I love. The cut out at the back for ventilation (a must in Sydney),…
In the middle of last year, I filmed a winter capsule lookbook, comprised of my most reached for pieces of the season. For me, each of the items I included represented a core staple that I find myself relying on when the weather is cold (thermals notwithstanding). I loved these outfits so much, that I wanted to share these looks once again, for my Northern Hemisphere friends. Instead of the 20+ minute video I’d originally filmed, I cut it down to under 3 minutes, focusing on several key themes. It probably goes without saying, but these are all outfits tailored…
Instead of wrapping up the week with a “weekly wishlist”, I thought I’d share this recent outfit that I posted on my Instagram. I’ve made little secret of my newfound appreciation for more relaxed silhouettes, and this completely goes against the grain of that. So much of how I build an outfit right now has been focused around creating balance. Mixing proportions is my preferred way of doing this, as I also favour more of a muted colour palette.
