Aztec

Topshop slouchy top, T by Alexander Wang cardigan, Vincent aztec jeans, Zara heels, Proenza Schouler bag, Karen Walker belt Aztec. A couple weeks back I was lamenting about how I had failed to nab the Isabel Marant ‘renell’ jeans when I had the chance, and had been furiously scouring ebay for a pair each day. While these aren’t Isabel Marant, at this point in time, they are the closest thing to the actual jeans that I think I’m going to find, within a reasonable price range. They made the perfect pair of jeans for a Saturday yum char feast and…

Net-a-Porter wishlist

Kain silk tank, T by Alexander Wang top, T by Alexander Wang jumper, Aubin & Wills blazer, Miu Miu sandals, A.P.C tote bag, Alice & Olivia skirt, Karl shorts, Isabel Marant Sandals Net-a-Porter wishlist. I always look forward to receiving that email from Net-a-Porter, letting me know that their twice-yearly sale has begun.

I’m sure it goes without saying that every year, come winter, I rug myself up in my winter woolies – scarves, jumpers, beanies, you name it. Lately, this has also extended to wearing merino wool tops underneath dresses, for the added layer…

image sourceWhite Magick. Since I first stumbled upon lover some 9 years ago, it’s been a label that I have highly coveted, in particular the beautiful lace pieces. Lover’s White Magick capsule collection ressurects a number of lace dresses from previous collections, some of which have had a little bit of a makeover. Having owned a couple of these dresses pictured above, I can attest to their beauty, and have rekindled my desire for a couple I never managed to get my hands on. It’s a shame this collection is exclusive to their Strand Arcade store, otherwise I could envision…

Beauty routine

Beauty routine

Beauty. I got asked by a reader if I would do a post on make-up, and the types of products that I use, so I thought I would expand a little on my beauty regime. It may not appear so, but I have incredibly sensitive skin. It wasn’t until my mid to late teens that I began to develop eczema and dermatitis, which makes my skin quite sensitive to a number of products. A couple of years back, a friend asked me to be a bridesmaid for her wedding, and of course with that comes getting your make up done.…
