Getting to know me

Getting to know me

It’s been a good fifteen years since I first started sharing parts of my life online. I was an angsty teenager (who of us wasn’t?!) who poured hours of her free time into building websites and what was essentially an online journal – free for anyone to find. I’m not quite as liberal with what I share online these days – a little bit of mystery never hurt anyone – though I did think it might be fun to answer some of the questions that I receive from you all., in video form Aside from the basics, like my age…

The three essentials

The three essentials

Acne Studios jensen boots (more affordable version), Acne Studios Canada scarf, Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel Right now, there are three things that I just can’t leave the house without; a sturdy pair of flats (my Everlane loafers are currently a firm favourite), my Proenza Schouler PS11, and my trusty Acne Studios Canada scarf.

I like to mix up my routine, and even with sensitive skin, I’m always up for trying out something new, whether it’s a foundation, a cleanser, or a blacker than black liquid eyeliner. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hype of the latest beauty launches, so I find that…

Paloma

Paloma

Acne Studios paloma silk dress (sleeveless version), J Crew fuzzy sweater, Valentino rockstud heels, Karen Walker x Benah sloane satchel I have a little confession to make… Not every single piece in my autumn capsule wardrobe has turned out to be quite as versatile as I’d anticipated. The bright orange-red floral dress which adds a pop of colour to an otherwise very neutral capsule? I haven’t even pulled it off the rack. And the sheer silk wisp of a dress from Acne that you see above? Aside from being a beacon for stains (anything white or cream really is just…
