This is what I wore on repeat in Winter (2024 edition)

This is what I wore on repeat in Winter (2024 edition)

The tail end of winter always hits me by surprise. A 31 deg C day will pop up out of nowhere, cascading into the start of spring even though technically – technically – winter isn’t over yet. And it’s worth noting that Sydney winters as they are translate to “winter lite”. One thing I finally switched up this season, was sorting myself out with a digital wardrobe cataloguing app so that I had a real visual representation of my outfits. Numbers are one thing, but they only tell you half of the story. Getting a visual overview of what I…

Did I just find an affordable alternative to The Row’s 90s Bag?

Did I just find an affordable alternative to The Row’s 90s Bag?

During my Sunday shopping scroll, I stumbled across a bag too good to gatekeep. Just like the rest of the internet, I seem to be somewhat consumed by The Row’s minimal aesthetic. I can pinpoint my own fascination with the Olsen’s back to my pre-teen days. The era of Full House, Two of a Kind, and New York Minute (iconic!). And honestly, this video of their very first 2006 collection – a seven item capsule – still lives rent free in my head. And while the Olsens didn’t invent “wardrobe basics”, the twins seem to have a knack for “perfecting”…

At this point, I think I’m starting to sound like a broken record. But… could this be the best Sezane collection to date? The rich colour scheme feels like an antidote to minimalist dressing, and I love the simple yet elevated silhouettes (fun prints abound!). I’m planning on adding a couple of items to cart, but let’s window shop and highlight the best of the bunch – aka items I think are worth buying (and why!).  2024 Sezane Fall Collection Top Picks Nicia Dress | One of the most popular pieces from Sezane’s 2023 Pre-Fall Collection, I have a feeling…

How to know something is worth splurging on

How to know something is worth splurging on

The reality is that no matter how much you covet a singular item, eventually, it’s just going to become stuff. But hopefully, the type of “stuff” that you are wearing all the time. Off the back of a recent splurge purchase – a pair of sleek black loafers from Chanel – I found myself dissecting what qualities make an expensive (for you) purchase worthwhile. What qualities make it a standout? Something you’ll actually end up reaching for without fail, and not some long forgotten expensive must-have that now sits at the back of your closet (RIP my Gucci loafers). So…

The Most Underrated Sezane Items

The Most Underrated Sezane Items

Sezane is one of those brands that I can’t help but go back to time and time again, and over the years, I’ve collected – and tried – many of their designs. Rather than highlighting some of the brand’s more popular pieces that you’re probably all well familiar with, I wanted to hero five underrated items I’ve bought from Sezane. #1 | Sezane Gabano Coat Wearing size AU8/US4/FR36 When I originally stumbled across the Gabano jacket, the first thing I did was a quick Google search to see if I could find any reviews or pictures of people wearing this…
