January Beauty & Fashion Favourites 2016

January Beauty & Fashion Favourites 2016

Seeing the last month flash by has felt a little bittersweet; how is it February already? Without going so far as to impose a full on shopping ban, there haven’t been many new purchases passing through the doors of my closet or the drawers of my vanity, instead, I’ve been ‘shopping’ my stash. For make up, I’ve been absolutely loving Tarte’s ‘Tartelette’ palette this past month. It’s completely matte which makes it perfect for every day, it has a great selection of 12 shades ranging from light to dark, and the shadows themselves are quite pigmented (if not a little…

The essential breton stripe top

The essential breton stripe top

T by Alexander Wang breton stripe top You only have to look back as far as my first outfit of 2016, to see how smitten I am with the classic breton stripe. This has been one of those quintessential pieces of my wardrobe for years now, and one that I reach for when I am at a complete loss over what to wear.

One two step

One two step

Never wanting to put a foot wrong, I’ve always had what some might call an obsession with shoes. Most nights when I’ve lost myself within the depths of the internet, it’s usually as a result of some wishful – shoe – window shopping, which as you can imagine, can end up being a bad thing for my bank account. While I love a good heel as much as the next girl, anything particularly vertiginous is generally reserved for the odd evening out. I’ve taken to giving my feet a break, opting for comfort over style most days. In the summertime,…

Selecting a colour palette for your capsule wardrobe

Selecting a colour palette for your capsule wardrobe

image source; vanessa beletic Early on in my first capsule wardrobe challenge (a blast from the past if there ever was one), I quickly grasped the importance of a cohesive and carefully edited colour palette. This has since extended through to the entire contents of my wardrobe, creating a solid backbone of core items and complimentary accents, with an occasional pop of colour (cliché, I know!) to keep things interesting. There are several different rules you can use for building a colour palette, however the simplest, and easiest to navigate, is to select 3-4 main or neutral colours, and 2-5…
