Ever unchanged

Ever unchanged

Glassons peplum top (similar), Witchery skirt (similar), Acne cardigan, Karen Walker belt & bracelet, KW x Beau Coop shoes I seem to have stumbled across a treasure trove of sorts, outfits that I seemingly forgot I took photo’s of. The sweet irony being that none of those photo’s seem any less relevant today, perhaps a tell about my current feelings towards my wardrobe. Essentially a projection of some of my current favourites, which for the moment, seem unchanging;  my continued appreciation for peplums, lace, longline cardigans and flat shoes.

Daytime adventuring

Daytime adventuring

3.1 by Phillip Lim sweetheart top, Karen Walker skirt, Alexander Wang kori oxfords, Karen Walker necklaces It’s not very often that I’ve left the house at 9:30am to head into town. It’s also not very often that I become so enamored with a piece of clothing that I wear it three times that week, which, when being completely honest, is still four times less than I really wanted to wear it.

Karen Walker dress (similar), Pointer x KW loafers (similar), Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs katie bracelet, Karen Walker botanicals ring, SGC bow ring, H&M necklace This feels like all the usuals – same or similar jewellery, same shoes, same bag – the things that I just can’t help but put on as I’m getting ready. I guess I can’t help it. As a creature of habit, I get stuck into my routines – I like to eat the same foods every week, go for my ‘scheduled’ runs, and watch the same shows as I’m relaxing in bed.…

Birthday edition

Birthday edition

3.1 by Phillip Lim top, Lover leopard skirt (similar), Charlotte Olympia kitty flats, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Karen Walker sunglasses & ring, Marc by Marc Jacobs katie bracelet One of the things that I love most about Wellington is the number of small hidden away bars and cafes that are virtually invisible until you stumble across them. Pretty ideal when your birthday falls on Sevens weekend, and are attempting to find a spot where you can avoid all the ruckus. Turning 25 isn’t as scary as people make it out to be, especially when you’re in the company of good…
