Monochromatic or tonal looks might just be my favourite. It’s the styling tool that I utilise most and every outfit – saturated with colour or muted and calm – feels right within my wheelhouse. The trick though, is how to make a monochromatic outfit feel interesting. Stop it from falling flat. Through all my years experimenting with monochrome dressing, I’ve found that there are three key styling pillars that add in that visual element of dimension; shape, texture, and colour. You may even find that your outfit includes all three, but usually, the ones that feel good will have at…
There are few French brands that seem to have gotten under my skin quite like Sezane. Many of their pieces have gone on to be regular features in my weekly outfits, and there’s rarely a new collection launch that goes by where I don’t covet at least a handful of items. Which is funny, given my very first shopping experience was a bit of a disaster. At this point, I’ve probably tried close to 100 of their designs, so have become familiar with what to expect, and what I do (and don’t) like for my personal wardrobe. So I thought…

Earlier this week I popped into Assembly Label; mostly because I was seeking out a very specific sweater that I’d spied in their “coming soon” section. A little gung-ho of me as it hasn’t actually dropped yet, but I thought rather than call it a bust, I’d try on a few things while I was there. I’ve called it before, but Assembly Label is hands down one of the most underrated Australian brands. Minimal, chic, classic wardrobe staples that don’t date which are high quality but won’t break the bank. Not to mention that their seasonal colours always hit the…
I’ve always been the girl with flyaways. Frizziness I can’t tame, stemming from hair which feels dehydrated and undernourished. But after having two kids, and all the postpartum hair loss (and regrowth) associated with it, I made a note to put an effort into caring for my hair. My goals were simple. I wanted shiny, healthy looking hair. Bonus points if I could get it looking smooth too (without the intervention of a keratin treatment!). After a bit of trial and error, I’ve finally come up with a routine that works for me. And I thought I’d share a breakdown…
