30X30 Capsule Wardrobe Winter Edition (2020)

30X30 Capsule Wardrobe Winter Edition (2020)

As I alluded in my previous post, I’ve recently been toying with the idea of creating a 30X30 capsule wardrobe. This was something I regularly sought out as a challenge in my early foray to discovering minimalism and how I connected with it. These days, I think it’s a useful tool for hitting the reset button, redefining your style, or maximising the contents of your wardrobe. I haven’t talked about this much – if at all really – but I’ve found myself struggling to nail down my identity as a new mum. It’s been the driving force (along with stress…

Why I’m trialling the capsule wardrobe method again

Why I’m trialling the capsule wardrobe method again

These photos were taken a couple months’ ago now, but as I sit here in a cosy knit and mini skirt, it seemed only fitting. A reflection of Sydney’s mild winters. And also, the monochromatic style strategy I’ve been using to get dressed daily. Wearing Assembly Label sweater; J.Crew denim skirt (similar here); Everlane 40 hour flats; Polene number one nano bag (review here); Muru Jewellery necklaces; Reliquia earrings; Rosefield watch If you’ve been watching my week in outfits videos, then you’ll have picked up on two things. First, monochrome head-to-toe is a style hack I’ve been leaning on heavily…

Two summer staples I recently bought from Madewell

Two summer staples I recently bought from Madewell

I tend to be a creature of habit when it comes to shopping for my wardrobe. Generally, I stick to a small handful of brands – something in of itself which can be quite ‘style-defining’. So for 2020, one of my goals was to branch out a little, and explore other labels which I liked, but hadn’t purchased from much in the past. Madewell, was one of them. on left: Madewell hemp relaxed drape tee, AGOLDE jeans, Boden bracelet, Rosefield watchon right: Madewell Northside vintage tee, AGOLDE jeans, Boden bracelet, Rosefield watch, Muru Jewellery necklace You might be able to…

Winter Outfit #5: Playing with a dual colour scheme

Monochrome seems to be becoming a bit of a habit. Currently in the thick of sleep regression and teething, and I’m clearly using every style trick I have to pull together an outfit while bleary-eyed and tired each morning. Wearing Sezane t-shirt; Acne Studios trousers (black version here and I love this more affordable pair); Sam Edelman loafers (also here); & Other Stories cardigan; Chanel vintage classic flap; Oscar Wylee sunglasses; Timeless Pearly earrings; Mejuri necklace; Rosefield watch You may recall that a pair of grey wool flannel trousers were on my 2019 wishlist. In fact it was these exact…

Neostrata Skincare Review

Neostrata Skincare Review

In place of a monthly beauty edit – as I’m largely using the same products on rotation at the moment – I thought I’d share a bit of a brand focus on Neostrata. It’s not often that a part of my skincare routine is singularly dedicated to just one brand. But, after seeing the incredible results other women have had from using Neostrata products, I decided to make an exception.  Over the past five weeks as part of my evening skincare routine, I’ve been using the; ‘Restore’ Facial Cleanser, ‘Restore’ Bionic Face Serum, ‘Restore’ Ultra Moisturising Face Cream, and the…
