Daisy chain

Daisy chain

Lover daisy chain dress (similar), Karen Walker cardigan, Chloe susanna boots, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, KW bunny bracelet, Gorjana stacking rings With every day feeling like just another excuse to be lazy and throw on a breezy sun dress or tee and skirt combo, I can’t help but take that laziness one step further and elect to reach for the same select few. This dress being one of them. It’s one of those things that I missed out on the first time around, not quite realising its full potential, only to happen across it at a later stage. A little…

A whirlwind trip to Queenstown

A whirlwind trip to Queenstown

Lover solar denim dress (similar), Pointer x KW loafers, Karen Walker sunglasses & botanicals ring, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag I was never one of those children who spent their holidays travelling around New Zealand. For the most part, I’d spend my days at my grandparents place playing out in the sun, and when I got a bit older, I’d often end up in Canberra visiting my dad. Suffice to say, I was looking forward to finally getting to visit Queenstown (for a wedding – which is exciting in itself), a part of the country I had heard so many good…

Ode to the 90s

Ode to the 90s

Enza Costa stripe top, Lover “deetz” skirt (similar), Alexander Wang kori oxfords, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, H&M necklace, Karen Walker rings Been feeling a little monochromatic lately, as I reach for anything and everything black, with the occasional splash of white here or there. Definitely not a reflection of my mood, which is still decidedly bubbly, rather than moody or sombre like my recent choices would otherwise suggest. I still can’t help but feel a little like I’m channelling Cher from Clueless everytime I wear this Lover skirt, which as far as I’m concerned, is certainly not a bad thing.…

On personal style: Style reflections of 2012

On personal style: Style reflections of 2012

2012 has been a year of many purchases, and just as many culls, a fact which I truly am loathe to acknowledge or wish to admit. I’ve found irony in the number of times that I vowed I would attempt to shop smarter, or cut down on my number of purchases. Neither of which I seem to have achieved in any respect, instead choosing to play up the number of frivolities I indulged in over the year.
