5PFW Summer Wardrobe Update: What I Added to my Closet

5PFW Summer Wardrobe Update: What I Added to my Closet

We’re a couple weeks into autumn now, so I thought it would be as good an opportunity as any to give you a 5PFW summer wardrobe update. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the five-piece-French-wardrobe-challenge, you can learn a little about how I’m interpreting this Parisian take on adding to your closet for the year ahead in this post. Ultimately, I decided to partake in this challenge as a way of informing my shopping attitude for the year ahead. I’ve said this before but I felt like 2018 saw me lose my way with my wardrobe a little,…

Designer Shoe Dupes – Getting the Luxe Look for Less

Designer Shoe Dupes – Getting the Luxe Look for Less

I’m a big believer that you can buy style at every price; a lot of it is having a keen eye, and patience, patience, patience. And as I’ve said before, when it comes to shoes, I tend to have expensive taste, which doesn’t always *quite* marry up with my budget for the season. I’ve had a few requests to share more places to shop the designer look for less, so today I’ve got a round up featuring nine more designer shoe dupes, all of which are so good that they’ll make you do a double take to make sure it’s…

Packing for a trip to New Zealand’s South Island

Despite spending the better part of my youth growing up in New Zealand, I didn’t end up visiting Queenstown – one of country’s most stunning tourist destinations – until my mid-twenties. So when my husband and I were invited to my cousin’s wedding at Glendhu Station just out of Wanaka, we decided to turn a long weekend into a tiki tour around the lower part of the South Island. Our South Island Itinerary I’ll be sharing a full round up of our itinerary some stage over the next week, but I though I’d touch on what we did during our…

10X10 Wardrobe Challenge – Autumn Edition

10X10 Wardrobe Challenge – Autumn Edition

As I try to make the most of what I already have before considering to add something new to my wardrobe, I’m more and more drawn to the idea of pushing the boundaries of my style, and experimenting with new silhouettes. For me, the simplest way to get some extra mileage out of my wardrobe, is to give myself some limitations. So with that in mind, and a new season upon us, I thought it’d be fun to create a 10X10 Wardrobe Challenge edit for autumn. The 10X10 Wardrobe Challenge If you aren’t familiar with the 10X10 Wardrobe Challenge, it…

Summer Wear Count

Summer Wear Count

When I first started revising the contents of my wardrobe, I would religiously tally up how often I wore each item. The key for me was to wear it at least 30 times during its life span in my wardrobe… though it probably goes without saying that many pieces just didn’t make the cut. While I’m not so rigid with it these days, perhaps one of the most useful evaluations of my style and wardrobe has been identifying my most worn items every season. So somewhat inspired by Lee and my old methods, I decided to take this one step…
