How I’m adding houndstooth to my wardrobe

How I’m adding houndstooth to my wardrobe

I was reflecting on Instagram this morning on how much style has shifted over the last few years, but in the same vein that it’s seen a change, I’ve also noticed a few things that keep popping up. Patterns aren’t prevalent in my wardrobe by any means, but houndstooth has long been one of those classic prints that I’ve always found myself drawn to. Wearing Grana silk cami (this is also a great option), c/o RE/Done frayed hem jeans (15% off with mademoiselle15 & also available here on sale), c/o Boden houndstooth coat (love the skirt too), Vaneli two tone…

New in beauty from Clarins

New in beauty from Clarins

Since starting our bathroom renovations last week, I’ve been really trying to embrace my natural features and pare back my makeup routine even more so than usual. Given my only real vice is winged eyeliner, this is a pretty big deal for me. For the last month or so, I’ve been trialling some new (to me!) products from Clarins – which I’ve predominantly looked to as a skincare brand – and it seemed only fitting that I talk about these products in combination with a very natural attitude to makeup. And this look is essentially all about the complexion; for…

Spring Wardrobe Basics: Black Ruffle Dress

Spring Wardrobe Basics: Black Ruffle Dress

Given how much I’ve been banging on about my spring wardrobe, it’s probably little surprise that I’ve been keeping a very close eye on the weather in Sydney to consistently hit the mid-twenties.

This linen ruffle dress from Portmans falls into the latter category, and honestly, was something I didn’t know I needed. Portmans black ruffle dress (c/o and sold out but this is…

How to Make the Most of the Clothing you already own

How to Make the Most of the Clothing you already own

I shared a post not too long ago about the spring wardrobe staples I’m excited to start wearing again, and I wanted to talk a little more about making the most of clothing you already own, particularly as we make that transition from cold weather to warm, and vice versa for those of you living in the Northern Hemisphere. I’m no minimalist by any means, but I truly cherish the clothing I do own, however I’m probably more inclined to part with something sooner than most if a garment is no longer pulling its weight in my wardrobe.

Spring Uniform: Sweater & Denim Mini

Spring Uniform: Sweater & Denim Mini

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope you’ve been enjoying your weekend as much as I have mine. It’s finally felt like the start of spring, which we marked with our first trip to the beach (though I wasn’t brave enough to jump in the water for a quick dip!). We’ve also been prepping our bathroom for the renovations which are due to start this Wednesday, and had a friend of mine visiting from New Zealand. It’s during these easy weekends that I rely on a small stable of outfits that I know will work every time. This simple combination of an…
