Breton Stripe Top & Military Jacket

Breton Stripe Top & Military Jacket

T by Alexander Wang stripe top, Willow leather skirt (old but this is a great faux option or I also really like this one), Workshop military jacket (I also love this jacket and this is a great affordable option), Everlane day heels (affordable here), Celine trotteur bag Meet one of the latest additions to my wardrobe, the military inspired jacket. I snagged this at the end of last month during a lucky browse on the Workshop website; I’d stopped by their store while in Auckland, and after trying the jacket on I’d spent the next three weeks thinking about whether…

Go-To Skincare by Zoe Foster-Blake Review

Go-To Skincare by Zoe Foster-Blake Review

If there’s one thing I’ve really been paying attention to this year, it’s been looking after my skin, and with that, finding the perfect morning and evening skincare routine that addresses all my complexions needs. So when I discovered Go-To Skincare, I was immediately taken with their approach to looking after our skin: pure ingredients, free of nasty chemicals, and safe for acne-prone and sensitive skin. Founded by former beauty editor Zoe Foster-Blake, you won’t find chemicals like palm oil, petrochemicals, PEGs, mineral oils, parabens, sulfates, silicones, GMOs, synthetic colours or fragrance in their products, and they’re committed to being…

Winter uniform #1

Winter uniform #1

Country Road sweater (I also like this one), Topshop jeans (these are a great alternative), Charlotte Olympia kitty flats (affordable alternative), Byredo Mojave Ghost (or here), Chanel Rouge Allure in Coromandel This is a little round up of some of my current winter staples, and one of my favourite (and simplest!) winter uniforms. An oversized sweater, a pair of ‘mom’-style jeans with a frayed hem, flats with a little bit of pizazz, and a nice red lip. It’s fair to say that this isn’t anything groundbreaking, all it takes it finding the right sweater that you want to spend all…

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: What’s the Big Deal, and Where Should You Start?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: What’s the Big Deal, and Where Should You Start?

It’s that time of year again… the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (or #NSale) has begun, and with it, the opportunity to save big on some of their newest arrivals. Personally, this is one of my favourite sales to browse each year, as there are so many gems to be uncovered, and unlike your typical end-of-season sale, this is new stock rather than end of line. WHEN CAN I SHOP THE SALE? Early access to the #NSale opened up on Thursday 13 July, but for those of you like me who aren’t Nordstrom cardholders, public access kicks off tomorrow – Friday 21…

My best second hand purchases

My best second hand purchases

I think I can categorically say that for many years I spent just as much time browsing eBay as I spent checking my emails (read: a lot). Defining my style and exploring new designers which weren’t readily available in New Zealand, eBay was the #1 destination where I would stumble across a bargain second hand buy, or investment purchase for (much) less. These days, I’m more like to browse The Real Real – mostly down to the fact that they have a return policy – but one thing still remains true; I love a good second hand purchase. It’s that…
