Happy Friday! With spring practically on our doorstep in Sydney, I’ve been slowly pinpointing any gaps in my seasonal wardrobe. And one thing I noticed was missing? A smaller straw bag. As it’s been a while since I shared an affordable alternative to a designer piece, today I wanted to highlight a recent find; a Loewe Basket Bag dupe. Wearing J.ING wrap top*; Toteme jeans; M.N.G straw bag; Mejuri bracelet; Nyssa bracelet*; Ana Luisa necklace* (10% off with code “mademoiselle10”) I often like to joke that I’ve got champagne taste on a beer budget, so I usually have my eyes…
Long gone are the days where I’m able to take my time applying my makeup. Or just generally, spend more than 15 minutes getting ready in the morning. The quicker I can get things done, the better. So in addition to relying on easy and effortless basics for day-to-day dressing, I’ve also found myself streamlining my makeup routine. It’s been a while since I’ve done any serious beauty chat, so I thought I’d run through the seven products that have been “doing the most” for me over the past few months. Quick little side note… While I don’t make it…
I wrapped up this winter 30X30 capsule wardrobe on Thursday, and have to admit, it felt a little strange having free reign over my closet again. Ironically, towards the end I’d begun longing for a bit of stylistic freedom, yet I found myself used to having that curated edit and in a variation of my most worn style combos the first day out. Wearing Witchery black linen blouse (old but similar knitted version here and I also love this alternative); Marle silk skirt; Everlane 40 hour flats*; Celine saddle bag A post on the learnings I took away from this…
It’s funny how you can swing from feeling like you have a million outfit options at your fingertips, to feeling as though there’s only a handful of items you can reach for as part of a capsule wardrobe. As we come up to the end of the 30 day challenge, that’s weighed on me in a sense. I suppose, because I’ve found myself reaching for the same selection of staples to build many of my outfits. Wearing Isabel Marant Etoile t-shirt; Madewell skinny jeans*; Vince coatigan (old but similar one here); Vaneli two tone pumps; Linjer crossbody bag* Perhaps what’s…
I’ve managed to get a little waylaid on sharing my outfits from the weekend so playing a little bit of catch up here. It was wet and miserable in Sydney, so we spent the entire weekend indoors. I used the extra down time to get a head start on spring cleaning (read: decluttering) our home – something I’ve been putting off for months as I haven’t really had the time. Wearing Everlane alpaca sweater*; Theory leather trousers (affordable alternative here); Golden Goose sneakers; Everlane mini form bag* Not gonna lie, this wasn’t the most practical option for crouching down on…
