W hen it comes to maintaining (or dare I say it, ‘upping’) my style game in pregnancy I find the last trimester and the weeks following baby’s arrival (often nicknamed the ‘fourth trimester’) to be the hardest. And given that I haven’t done a style-related post for this pregnancy, I thought I’d start by […]
I hope you had a good Easter weekend and for all those affected by the torrential weather over the last few weeks, my heart truly goes out to you. I wrote this before all the crazy weather came to be, around the time I realised that the Summer we’d had was as good as it was going to get. […]
S ummer style needn’t be complicated! Besides, you have better things to do than to stress out about how something looks when the sun is being all shiny (and melty) and everything outside is calling you to it. Silk scarves bring colour and a point of difference to a simple summer outfit for a very small buy-in (of time and […]
I f there is one thing I want (make that neeeed) my clothes to be able to do, it’s be versatile. Think of your wardrobe as your own cool little eatery and it’s filled with all your favourite people. There are a whole bunch of personalities in there, some laid-back and casual, some edgy and cool, some plain, […]
Yellow legs, not yellow legs. My ankles look strangely yellow but I can assure you they are their usual brand of pastey white!! I m going to let you in on a not-so-secret secret that everyone knows but everyone forgets all too often…you don’t need bags of stuff to have bags of style! In fact, […]
I s buying secondhand strange? To some people it is. But to me, its just another way to shop (in addition to buying new, of course) and its a really clever way to buy! Also, when I was little my Nana used to run the local Op Shop with friends from her church so I guess you could say that […]
T hese days I am all about ‘low fuss, big impact’ style. Which put simply is sticking to good quality basics (i.e ‘the classics’ like a great dress or a good pair of jeans) and then zhooshing those up with a little ‘Je ne sais quoi‘. This by the way, is a great way to cut down on your wardrobe ‘bulk’, […]
F or those days when getting dressed comes after feeds, changes, washing and dishes or quite frankly you just don’t want to get going… Here are 5 things I’ve adopted into my life to feel more stylish while at home, that are pretty easy to implement: // 1. The ‘I know I’m still in my pj’s but […]
‘Are you free for a catch up?’ These were the words that filled me with excitement and dread when at 5 weeks with a newborn I had become accustomed to life within four walls. The kitchen, lounge and laundry had become my local haunts and a trip out often just meant a trip to the clothesline. Words cannot describe […]
At 25 weeks and with the temperatures rising, I am nearing the end of my love affair with pants and beginning to embrace the dress! So without further ado here is part two of my pregnancy must-haves. P.S If you missed part one, you can find it right here. // {See featured image – above} […]
Who says you can’t be both pregnant and stylish? Not I! My ethos for pregnancy fashion is to find pieces that are comfy yes, but that don’t feel like you’re compromising on style (until late in your third trimester, when just quietly, undies and t-shirts are a very real wardrobe option for me!). If you’re objective is comfort […]
Are you the type of person who looks at someone wearing an interesting (yet stylish) combination of pieces and thinks to yourself: ‘Wow, I would have never thought to put that with that’ Then I plan to demystify the trick that is ‘mixing prints’. Why would you want to mix prints you might ask? Well, how about […]
Some might call the months from here to Christmas the silly season and for me right now, I am very much experiencing my ‘silly time’. So, given that I am having withdrawals from not writing a post, I just wanted to write a short but sweet ‘Hey, I’m all good, I’m still here but work is busy […]
I don’t know about you but it feels darn good to know that the sun will soon be out and in full force soon (hard to imagine though?!) In eager anticipation, I’ve rounded up my top 5 colour combos I’m excited to wear this Spring. // 1. White – with gold and copper accessories WHY I LOVE […]
I have a favourite pair of Levi’s Slouchy 501 jeans that I thrash around the house. You could say they are my ‘old faithfuls’. The only thing is, if I want to leave the house in them, I really need to style them up a few notches. This video shows you 4 ways that I like to […]
