A quick update today to share a current fragrance favourite; Jo Malone’s Frangipani Flower Cologne. I’ve been reaching for this every day, as it’s a wonderfully light perfume, with that rich floral scent of the frangipani flower. It has a sunny disposition that makes me feel like I’m on holiday in Hawaii, despite it being autumn in Sydney. Top notes of jasmine petals; middle notes of frangipani and ylang-ylang; base notes of sandalwood and benzoin. PS. I get asked a lot about the sillage of Jo Malone fragrances, and would say like all perfumes, they’re most intense when first applied.…
Every wardrobe starts with the building blocks. Core closet staples which are basics based on your personal style. This would always be my starting point when planning out a capsule wardrobe; and I thought today in partnership with Everlane I could share ten essentials that always, always have a place in my autumn wardrobe. Wearing Everlane cashmere crew (size S); Everlane cheeky straight jeans (size 25 ankle); the Everlane modern loafers 2.0 (worn in size US10 / review here); and Everlane oversized wool blazer (in size US4) There’s a few things I tend to look for. These “staples” need to…
I know I’m not alone in getting caught up in Sezane’s beautiful marketing campaigns and imagery. And their recently launched spring collection made my heart sing. It’s no secret I’m a neutrals girl through and through, but I found myself itching to add a couple of playful statement tops to my wardrobe (an area currently lacking). Shopping online can be really tricky, as you can’t feel the fabrics or get a true sense of how an item will drape and fit on the body. I’ve always believed that it’s such a tactile experience. So I thought I’d focus a bit…
I wanted to unpack a few more thoughts on a topic I shared recently over on my Instagram; the difference between how a designer intends a garment to fit, and how we want the garment to fit on us. Because they’re not one and the same. There’s three main touch points I wanted to expand on, and while I don’t find them to be equally linear or even congruent with each other, hopefully this will give you some insight into my thinking. Wearing Sezane t-shirt; H&M trousers; Witchery belt; Everlane blazer; Fendi bag; Country Road necklace The reason I bring…
Sharing one of my final outfits of the summer; an easy breezy combo which I’ve worn many times before in slightly different variations. As you’ll know, I’m not afraid to repeat my outfits, and I think once you’ve found a style or a pairing you like, you should wear it over and over. Having a style uniform – even a loosely defined one – can make getting dressed so much easier. Wearing Madewell courier shirt; Among shorts; Everlane city sandals; Louis Vuitton Neverfull; Linjer earrings; Mejuri necklace; Rosefield watch The Madewell courier shirt is a firm favourite of mine which…
