The long and short of it

The long and short of it

Hope shirt, Country Road check shorts, Stuart Weitzman razmataz loafers, Celine cabas tote w/ gusset The working week is generally reserved for pencil skirts, floaty shell tops and heels so high that I have to carry a backup pair of flats in my handbag (#reallife). But the weekends? The weekends are for fuss free shorts and oversized shirts which feel like (and almost resemble) a pair of cosy pajamas. Shoes and make-up are optional, of course. Get the look:

Christian Dior ‘Addict’ Lip Glow

Christian Dior ‘Addict’ Lip Glow

Christian Dior Addict Lip Glow When it comes to lipstick, my approach is almost as relaxed as it is in the kitchen, if not more so. I probably wear lipstick about 10% of the time, which is why I decided I would give the Christian Dior ‘Dior Addict Lip Glow’ a shot. It’s the kind of lipstick which doesn’t bear thinking about. You slick it on and go. There’s no worrying if your lips look uneven (possibly my biggest concern on a lipstick-wearing day), no worrying if the colour suits you, and no need to really worry about touch-ups. The…

Little Black Dress

Little Black Dress

Karen Walker ‘take change’ dress, Alexander Wang anjelika sandals, Cuyana tote bag (similar here) The Little. Black. Dress. It really needs no introduction; it has a place on every list detailing the wardrobe basics you must have (and believe me, there are a lot).

It’s times like these that I wish getting a back up wasn’t out of the…

Grace

Grace

With my studies behind me, I’ve taken the opportunity to read for pleasure p-r-e-t-t-y seriously, working my way through collections of personal essays, Lena Dunham’s ‘Not that kind of girl’ and topics of a more serious nature like human trafficking and the misgivings of the humanitarian aid system as it currently stands. But on those evenings where I feel like reading something a little light, and something a little about fashion, I’ve been turning to Grace. Coddington’s memoirs are an unabashedly a candid account of her loves, her life, and all its misgivings. But most of all, it’s about Vogue.…

What’s in my handbag? | the Celine trio edition

What’s in my handbag? | the Celine trio edition

We’re more than halfway through the 30×30 wardrobe challenge, and while I’m questioning my decision to only include suede closed toe shoes on a day that is pouring down with rain, I’ve found the bags that I selected (the Celine trio and cabas) to both align pretty closely with my lifestyle, and the weather. So on that note, I thought I would give you all an idea of what I carry around in my handbag on a daily basis – notwithstanding the days I take my Celine cabas to work, as in addition to the items below, you’ll usually find…
