The essential cashmere sweater

The essential cashmere sweater

Everlane cashmere crew sweater, Karen Walker skirt (similar alternative) Continuing the essentials series with the cashmere sweater; a piece that I’m seldom without, regardless of the season. I usually have one tucked away in my work tote, which I’ll throw on over my outfit – whether it’s a top and skirt/trouser or dress kind of a day – whenever the aircon gets a little too cool in the office. And in winter, it’s what I reach for most days, as I’m all about easy dressing. My favourite or ‘go-to’ the last couple of years has been from Everlane; I’ve found…

Spring/Summer ’16 Wardrobe Recap

Spring/Summer ’16 Wardrobe Recap

It’s been a while since the last time I recapped my seasonal wardrobe, and I have to admit, I’m finding it hard to believe that Summer is close to over what with temps in the late 20s to early 30s. Building up the basics for the most part took a back seat as I’ve been trying to invest in a little more colour and texture, while playing with some new proportions and styles.

Point Lobos Flash print*, Aquarius foil art print*, Constellation art print*, Gemini foil art print* Luke and i have been living in our current place for close to a year now (time sure does fly), so I thought I’d give you a little peek into what is probably the most loved corner of our home. Whether it’s entertaining or relaxing with a couple of ice cold beers, catching up on the latest episodes of My Kitchen Rules (yes, I’m an addict), or curling up with a book, you can generally find us here, pets in tow. I’ve been on a…

Daisy lace

Daisy lace

ASOS lace midi dress, Country Road merino sweater (similar style), Max Mara heels, Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel, Mimco necklace (love this one!) Taking a page out of layering for dummies 101 today; a sweet summer dress with a knit sweater thrown over the top. As I mentioned in my last post, I’m in the process of planning out my Autumn capsule (which seems to be getting more difficult by the day – Thursday is currently forecasted to be a casual 40 deg C!), and this easy combo will definitely be making the cut. Given that Sydney doesn’t tend to cool…
