It’s only natural for your style to evolve as you get older. And while there are certain wardrobe staples that transcend time, lots of others are naturally cast aside as you mature. My style has certainly changed since I turned 30, and while age is just a number, I’ve found that as time passes, there are things that I wore in my 20s that I simply don’t want to wear anymore and that I feel don’t mesh with the rest of my wardrobe.
View PostIt would be a fair call to attribute a lot of the trends that we’ve embraced over the years to have some sort of utilitarian background one way or another – ie. trench coats, combat boots, overalls… They’ve all had their roots as functional pieces before having a fashionable spin put on them. And the piece that I’m featuring today isn’t an exception: khaki pants (or “ranger pants” as my 8 year old calls them!).
View PostWhen it comes to footwear for the cooler weather, I basically live in pointed-toe black leather ankle boots. The classic silhouette is just so versatile and timeless. What’s not to love right?! That said, while I mostly stay faithful to my go-to black leather ankle boots, I’m always open to testing out fresh silhouettes and textures – just to keep things interesting. I’ve been testing out the new Everlane Boss Boot in ReKnit in Black for the past few weeks – walks with the family, trips to the shops to pick up groceries and dropping off/picking up the kids to and from school and day care on foot. (Sydney’s Spring has thankfully delivered some cooler days to enable me to do so!) The boots are made from Everlane’s signature ReKnit fabric (a textured recycled polyester made from renewed plastic bottles) and finished off with a leather trim.
View PostOver the past six months, we’ve had to adapt to become productive in places where we normally do the opposite, converting parts of our homes into home offices. The lack of workplace structures makes it hard to stay motivated. I’ve certainly had periods where I’ve struggled with this. To combat this, I’ve managed to force myself to be accountable not only to my colleagues but most importantly, to myself. And given this will be the status quo for the foreseeable future, here are the things I’m doing to ensure I keep my work from home motivation going strong.
View PostThere’s nothing quite as polished and practical as a beige trench coat. It’s the ultimate wardrobe staple that you can rely upon and it’s not hard to see why it holds it’s status as a ‘forever piece’ among the style set. While it’s a staple in any wardrobe, the shoulder seasons are the ideal times to incorporate a trench into your every day look because it’s the perfect lightweight layering piece for when you’re in the midst of transitioning your wardrobe between seasons.
View PostIf you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have a hard time missing my Celine Seau Sangle Bag in my recent outfit posts. Since picking up the bag over a month ago, it has been on frequent rotation and has fast made its way to the top of my favourites list. I’ve had numerous requests to share my thoughts, so I thought I’d share a review of how I’ve been getting on with the bag so far.
