The June Beauty Edit ‘19

The June Beauty Edit ‘19

One of the main things I feel like I experimented with in June was my makeup. I’ve been wearing winged liner since I was around 20 years old, so to mix things up I started smudging a bit of dark shadow at the outer corners. It created a softer look, though safe to say a good cat eye flick is still my OG. As far as skincare goes, there’s only one new product that’s made it into the beauty edit this month. I decided to dial my routine back a notch and for the most part, am using just three…

How I’m wearing monochrome this winter

How I’m wearing monochrome this winter

Another day, another excuse to wear a milky-toned look. Clearly, I’ve been taking this neutrals trend pretty seriously. As much as I love wearing head to toe black (hello winter uniform!), swapping out those staples for lighter hues during the colder months still feels fresh. Wearing Mott & Bow sweater, Topshop trousers (old but similar here and also love this style), Edgii grey wool coat, Dior slingbacks (old but similar here), Phillip Lim mini pashli, Reliquia earrings A lot of how I get dressed in the morning is centred around my wardrobe favourites – the ‘hot’ items of the minute…

How to spend 24 hours in Melbourne

How to spend 24 hours in Melbourne

A couple weeks’ back Luke and I travelled to Melbourne for a whirlwind trip to celebrate my friend Georgie’s 30th birthday. Eating good food, and catching up with friends was high up on the agenda, and it’s little surprise that we left with bellies bulging and hearts full.

Wearing M&S navy sweater, Levis skinny jeans, Stella McCartney coat (old but love this one…

Avoid Impulse Purchases

Avoid Impulse Purchases

We’re in the thick of sale season, which is a time of year when temptation to spontaneously add something to our closets is at its highest. While I think that sale shopping can be an effective strategy for making your dollar stretch further, knowing when to shop and when to stop is the tricky part. It’s a big part of why I think shopping from a list is so practical; it’s a simple shift that’ll frame your shopping considerations and help you avoid impulse purchases. Wearing Uniqlo shirt, Dr Denim skinny jeans (old but these are similar), Sam Edelman loafers,…

Five things I’ve been loving lately

Five things I’ve been loving lately

Wearing Joseph sweater, Dr Denim skinny jeans (old but similar here and also here), Edgii grey coat, Linjer watch 01 | Wrap coats There’s no hiding the fact that I’ve fully embraced the wrap coat for winter 2019. I’ve talked about this numerous times, but Sydney winters are pretty mild. More often than not, I’ll wear my coat open, and I love the relaxed nature of this style of coat. They reflect that Scandinavian style aesthetic which has been present in a lot of my outfit choices lately. You may have spotted the one I’m wearing above yesterday – it’s…
