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…
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…
Here we are at the end of summer in the northern hemisphere. The sharp crisp early morning are just beginning to tease us. The leaves haven’t begun to turn golden, but soon. You can feel it. That said, I thought I could squeeze one more summer-related post in before the autumn content begins as these…
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…

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…
I’ve been going through my photo archives and realised that there a lot of outfits that I’ve shared on Instagram but which have never quite made it to this little space. You can tell these photos were taken last year, because look how short my hair was! Social media moves so quickly, it can sometimes…
As far as adding colour to my wardrobe goes, I often find myself drawn to navy blue and other such muted shades. I also feel that navy is a colour which lends itself to wedding guest outfits. Black and white, usual go-to colours for me, aren’t traditionally appropriate for such events, but navy feels like a…
I find myself wearing a lot of monochrome outfits. Partly because they are just so easy to style, but also because a lot of the foundational pieces of my wardrobe tend to be based around a similar colour palette and so I inadvertently find myself styling outfits this way. I love the idea of a…
