Autumn Most Worn Items (2022)

Probably the biggest insights into my personal style have come about from these seasonal check-ins. A true reflection of what I’m actually wearing. Not what I think I’m wearing on repeat. Autumn was a bit of a funny one for me. It marked the end of my pregnancy, but also, it was warm. A lot of basics you’d typically associate with spring and summer showed up as being on regular rotation. Which, if that’s not a hint for how little I’ve worn my coats this winter, I don’t know what is. So let’s chat through the list. ITEMS MENTIONED Nilby…

The art of waiting

The biggest thing I’ve taken away from all my years of shopping pre-loved has been patience. Especially for more obscure items. The timing has to be just right.

Travel Capsule Wardrobe for a Wellington Winter

Suitcase full of clothes but nothing to wear. This used to be a common conundrum for me as a teen travelling to Australia during school holidays to visit my dad. I hadn’t mastered the art of packing, or mapping out any kind of capsule wardrobe. So I’d pick items without any thought, figuring something was bound to work.  It was when I discovered the capsule wardrobe method that I started to think more strategically about packing. Priding myself on being able to limit my travel wardrobe (and beauty necessities) to a carry-on only. An enduring trait I’ve tried to keep…
