Last of the weekend light

Everlane cashmere jumper, Ellery venus flare dress, Cuyana tote bag (similar), Opening Ceremony mules (similar) Monday always seems to come around all too soon, but I figure it’s always best to start the week with a smile… and a colourful sweater (!).

July Beauty & Fashion Favourites

I received such an overwhelmingly positive response to my combined favourites last month, that I thought I’d continue sharing my beauty and fashion favourites each month, moving forward. Perhaps one of the more exciting favourites of the month – for me at least – has been a new base that I’ve been using; the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser.

There wasn’t a moment that she didn’t look chic, and her outfits truly seemed to have stood the test of time given many of the pieces she regularly wore…

The simple things

Kingsway Design jewellery, Everlane ryan tank With the odd exception – like a statement necklace – I like to keep my jewellery minimal like I keep my outfits minimal. Simple and to a point. Obvious, but then so glaringly not obvious; it’s that mentality of sheer subtlety which has stuck with me through the years. Which is why I felt a connection with Kingsway Design. Without sounding like I’m gushing (which I’m so often apt to do), there’s a beauty to such minimal, geometric designs in their purest, most raw form. And I guess, it’s this innate characteristic which draws…
