SUIT UP

A suit is by definition a set of outer clothes made in the same fabric, designed to be worn together and yet, in the human psyche, it is synonymous with power, masculinity, business and competence. Clothes do not make the man, yet our perceptions of a person are seized up within mere seconds- it’s pretty […]

MBFWA wrap up

Fashion Week only swings around once a year in Australia so come May everyone in the industry is lining up their outfits, pillaging pr agencies, last minute online shopping, loaning from friends and otherwise spending solid quality time in front of the mirror. Dear reader; I wanted to be one of these people but I […]

My MBFWA review

The week started with rain so torrential, it was hard to imagine how anyone would get any Insta-perfect streetstyle photos. While photographers and the fashion pack breathed a relieved sigh on Monday when sunlight hit the pavement, fashion week was delivering all the colour, irreverent prints, summer ready dresses and gorgeous tailoring on the runways […]

Sustainability gets Sexy

Sustainability is a new buzz word in fashion and for good reason – turns out the clothes business is the second biggest polluter in the world, just behind oil. Yep, I winced too but the facts remain- fast fashion is costing the planet. It turns out a humble t-shirt requires 3 years worth of drinking […]

Why once you go hybrid, you'll never go back

We live on the precipice of an energy revolution but we are not quite there yet. Petrol cars are damaging to the environment but electric cars need constant re-charging at specialised charging points, making moving around without a worry a drag. Enter hybrid technology! Using a fraction of the petrol of a conventional vehicle, hybrid […]

The Magic of Mumbai

India is comparable to a drug- one that blows minds wide open, horrifying and enchanting at the same time, yet making the explorer crave it more intensely with each visit. Mumbai was my first port in India and my first introduction to the country’s ability to beguile with contrast - here you’ll find 5 star […]

POSTCARDS FROM COOBER PEDY

Walking past opal digging equipment in a Zimmermann dress, Hermes hat, Aquazurra sandals, Jordan Askill heart and diamond pave ring, Ole Lynggaard pearl and diamond ring, Cartier Love bracelet worn throughout. As the days get longer and warmer I start shedding layers like an overexcited snake after hibernation. Summer is my favourite time of […]

3 x Jeans I <3 now

Last week was steaming but the last 2 days have felt more like winter. Summer is here but it's either too drunk, bipolar or painfully shy. Whatever it is, bikini weather it ain't - as I write this, I'm watching dusk fall over a stormy grey day on my couch , cocooned in a merino […]

summer days+cool separates

When I first came to Australia 20 years ago, I was taken aback by the way summer here meant unpretentious fun, like days spent on vast expanses of sand wearing just a bikini, hanging out on grassy knolls barbequing sausages with friends or meandering around languid Bondi streets popping into vintage stores. It meant people […]

Buy Now Wear Next Year

Layers may not be the sexiest clothing option in the world, yet winter is the most imaginative time in the style stakes because we finally get to play with investment coats, beautiful boots and cosy knits. Each year I invest in a few pieces that will take me through the coldest months, yet I want […]

Five Trends To Try This Winter That You'll Want To Wear Forever

One of the greatest things about fashion is that it isn’t about simply fulfilling a functional purpose, even though some people (cough, cough; my boyfriend) seem to not understand this at all. After all, to some, fashion is just that, a utility that serves us as we go about the world. It isn’t about adornment, […]
