Blazer, straight leg jeans, and a simple white tee

Blazer, straight leg jeans, and a simple white tee

Grana boxy t-shirt, Topshop straight leg jeans, Helmut Lang blazer (I also love this option), Everlane day heels (more affordable here), ASOS sunglasses, Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel If you take a quick look at my Pinterest boards, one thing is achingly clear; I’m heavy into everything norm core with a healthy dose of Parisian styling. Since giving my closet a much needed declutter, and taking the time to sit down and really define what it is that I want my wardrobe to look like, I’ve found my outfit options have started to lean more masculine, and more relaxed, in that…

How to wear ruffles like a maximalist

How to wear ruffles like a maximalist

ASOS ruffle top (also in black), MSGM skirt^, Everlane trench coat, 3.1 Phillip Lim heels, Charlotte Olympia feline purse, Astrid & Miyu Gemini & Aries rings, Mejuri diamond necklace As much as I’ve been trying to find the perfect balance between feminine and masculine silhouettes, there’s one ultra feminine trend that I can’t seem to get enough of; the ruffle. So rather than fight it, I figured it was best to take a page from Alessandro Michele’s book, and wear ruffles like a maximalist. BE BOLD Don’t be afraid to wear colour – particularly if you live in a warmer…

David Jones Sale Picks

David Jones Sale Picks

To help get some inspiration for my wardrobe, I’ve been doing a bit of browsing online to get an eye on any key pieces that might be worth adding to my closet. So, I couldn’t help but notice during my search that David Jones are in the midst of the bi-annual clearance sale. After making a rather spendy – and sneaky – in-store sale purchase (more on that later…), I’m taking a mini-break from adding anything else new to my closet, so I thought I’d share some of my favourite David Jones sale picks with you below. Sale season is…

What is a normal sized wardrobe?

What is a normal sized wardrobe?

What is a normal sized wardrobe? It’s one of those questions I’ve found myself wondering, typically on par with my seasonal wardrobe culls, yet the question remains; how much is too much? And I think, what I’ve truly found, is that there’s no right answer; it’s all relative. It’s the kind of subjective number that depends on your needs, your lifestyle, and ultimately, what you want our of your wardrobe. For some, a minimal wardrobe of 30 items is more than enough, yet for others, choice is paramount and the number of items they choose to have at their disposal…

Trend alert: Grommet details

Trend alert: Grommet details

Zara black vest with grommet detail (similar here and also love this one), Kate Sylvester skivvy (similar here and also here), J Crew trousers, Tibi shoes, Linjer watch, ASOS sunglasses, 3.1 by Phillip Lim pashli satchel (also here) One thing I’ve been seeing a lot of lately are grommet details; those oversized eyelets you see at the top of the vest that I’m wearing here, from Zara. Call it a bit of a micro-trend if you will, but I’ve been completely into it, and the subtle layer of detail that it adds to an otherwise basic sleeveless longline blazer (mine…
