You could say that I’ve been in pursuit of the perfect pair of tailored shorts ever since I saw a photo of my grandmother in one such pair back in the 1950s. But shorts can be deceptively tricky to buy. After several attempts, I’m hopeful that Everlane’s Tencel Way High Drape Shorts have finally put my…
If you love the idea of a capsule wardrobe but can’t see yourself relinquishing color from your closet, I promise you don’t have to. It’s entirely possible to create a colorful capsule wardrobe. Capsule wardrobes are supposed to simplify, not constrain, your wardrobe. This means that if you love color, you should incorporate it. I…
I’m sure I’m not alone in falling for Khaite’s beautiful Maddy top. With it’s ribbed knit, sweetheart neckline and a silhouette vaguely reminiscent of the Tudor bodices of the 15th century (I know, I know, minus the heavy boneing, brocade and skirts but humour me here), it’s a timeless statement piece which will elevate any…
Linen is one of my favourite fabrics. Sustainable, breathable, hard wearing. While it does crease, I’ve often felt this imperfection adds to, rather than detracts from, it’s beauty. You’ve probably associated your linen garments more with spring and summer. The fabric certainly conjures up feelings of sun drenched European summer evenings for me. However, one…

That said, I thought I could squeeze one more summer-related post in before the autumn content begins as these…
Surprisingly, I didn’t have high expectations for Positano and the Amalfi Coast. Sure, I knew they would be beautiful. After all, many a photo of winding Bougainvillea filled alleyways and colourful houses nestled amongst a rugged coastline had graced my Instagram feed for years. However, I thought that its popularity would eclipse the experience – weighed down by…
You may recall this jumpsuit – one of the earlier outfits I featured on this blog. Funny enough I’d admired it in one of my favourite stores about a season before seeing it hanging outside a rack of my local Red Cross store in Sydney – where it promptly came home with me. I guess…
Black may not be the colour that first springs to mind when it comes to summer outfit ideas. However, this perennially timeless colour can very easily be incorporated into your spring / summer capsule wardrobe. Below I share a few suggestions for my favourite ways of styling black in the warmer months. 1. Consider the…
A simple outfit formula. Sweaters and a simple pair of pants, sometimes jeans, sometimes tailored is an outfit formula I wear a lot. I love the neutral colour palette of this iteration of it. The beige sweater balances out the harsher shades of the true black pants and the heels draw it all together. You…
