Avoid going overboard and over-budget during the Black Friday sales

Avoid going overboard and over-budget during the Black Friday sales

Click Frenzy has just ended, and with the next big round of holiday promotions – Black Friday – almost on our doorstep, I thought I’d share a simple tool I’m using to avoid going overboard and over-budget. Make a list. It might sound basic, but the allure of 40, or even 50% off can be enough to derail the resolve to only buy what you need. Wearing Everlane cotton crew neck sweater, Citizens of Humanity emerson slim fit boyfriend jeans (colour is “ever”), Veja esplar sneakers (review here), The Curated coat in camel, Polene Number One mini bag in ‘sand’,…

& Other Stories is Shipping to Australia!

& Other Stories is Shipping to Australia!

So this is big news; & Other Stories is now shipping to Australia! Perhaps one of my favourite high street brands to browse, I’m really excited to see that they’ve expanded their international shipping offering. Particularly as I’d recently resorted to using mail forwarding just to get my hands on a piece that looked perfect for my A/W 2020 wardrobe. To mark the occasion, I thought I’d share a round up of my five favourite picks that I’ve been considering adding to my wardrobe.

What I wore during weeks 17-20 of my pregnancy

What I wore during weeks 17-20 of my pregnancy

I wanted to follow up my last post by sharing a handful of outfits I wore during weeks 17-20 of my pregnancy. My first trimester was marked by a constant feeling of being bloated. It wasn’t until these three weeks leading up to the mid-point that I noticed my body seriously starting to change. If you’re currently expecting and in the earlier stages of your pregnancy, hopefully this might give you some ideas. My main aim with these outfits was to reflect my personal style, while adapting it to accommodate my growing bump. Week 17 wearing Sezane t-shirt, Grlfrnd Denim…

Four tips for dressing your baby bump until you’re ready to share the news

Four tips for dressing your baby bump until you’re ready to share the news

Up until the 20 week mark when I *finally* shared the news that Luke and I were expecting a baby in summer 2020, the one question I got from a lot of my girlfriends was; ‘Where’s your bump?!’. Safe to say, I got particularly good at concealing any hint of a baby bump, and I thought I’d share some of the styling tricks that I found useful during those early weeks. Wearing Joseph sweater (affordable option here), Realisation Par leopard skirt (affordable dupe here), By Far mules (affordable here), Phillip Lim mini pashli bag, Mejuri earrings & bracelet, Linjer ring…
