Ivory ‘milk’ silk blouse c/o Popbasic If there’s one thing a girl can never have too much of, it’s a simple silk button up shirt. It’s one of those classics which will never leave you not feeling polished, even when you’ve rolled out of bed with only ten minutes to spare before you need to get on your way to work; I promise. Which would explain why I was pretty excited to hear about Popbasic’s kickstarter project for two silk blouses (the first of many, I hope), one in an ivory milk shade, and one in a playful strawberry print.…

Kit. Cosmetics Summer Fiesta nude eye shadow palette review

Kit. Cosmetics Summer Fiesta nude eye shadow palette review

kit. Cosmetics Summer Fiesta nude eye shadow palette ‘Tis the season for giving and gifting, lazy weekend barbecues in the late afternoon sun, and limited edition make-up palettes which are so pretty you can’t wait to get your hands on them. Up until now, I’ve never paid much mind to Christmas gift guides, and seasonal Christmas gift sets – it never quite made sense to me.

Some time ago, I read this quote about shopping for your wardrobe, which has really stuck with me. Buy less, choose well. It’s become something of a goal that I’ve aspired to. To cultivate an attitude towards shopping which results in less mistakes, and more triumphs at the end of the day.

A Karen Walker Christmas giveaway

A Karen Walker Christmas giveaway

Wearing J. Crew silk front tank The festive season has now well and truly begun – and since it is the season to be jolly, I couldn’t think of a better way to spread a little Christmas cheer than a giveaway to all my readers. I’m not sure how well you all know me by now, but there’s no denying how obviously impossible it is for me to leave a Karen Walker store without picking up a little something something. When I was back home a few months back, in addition to my usual splurge, I picked up a little…
