You’d be hard-pressed to find a list of Australian fashion icons without an R.M. Williams entry. With an almost 90-year history, R.M. Williams’ boots have earned cult status in the footwear arena and are widely considered to be the national boot of Australia. I’ve wanted a pair of R.Ms for the longest time and I’ve finally bitten the bullet with my very first pair. I tried on a few styles to find the pair that I liked the most and while it was by no means an easy decision to make, I thought I’d take the opportunity to share my thoughts on the different styles that I tried (as well as the style I ultimately chose!).
Like most of you, I have a love-hate relationship with heels (I love them, but they seem to hate me). Last month, I was lucky enough to receive a pair of Sarah Flint’s “Perfect Pumps” in Taupe with the 85mm heel which purport to provide all-day comfort without sacrificing style. Despite the bold claims of the pumps, I wasn’t expecting miracles. Suffice to say, my skepticism was turned on its head after a few seconds in these heels. These are, hands-down, the most comfortable pumps I have ever tried on. In this post, I share my comprehensive thoughts.
In today's post, I wanted to address the most common questions I receive about my Gucci belt. With so many different options available, it can be a tad overwhelming to choose the right belt for you. Aside from sizing, which I address in my guide here, choosing the right width is arguably the more difficult decision. Then there are other considerations like the hardware of the buckle and the leather.
Everlane is one of my go-to places for well-made wardrobe staples. And in light of how many Everlane pieces I have in my closet, I’m always excited to try out their new items. Their much-loved Modern Loafer first released around 5 years ago has had a bit of a refresh, and for the past few weeks I’ve been testing out their newest version - Modern Loafer 2.0 - software updates and all (see what I did there?!).
I’m going to be sharing with you my best and worst luxury purchases for 2020. I’ve dedicated a fair few blog posts to luxury items this year so it only felt fitting to do a wrap up like this. I made five big ticket item purchases in 2020 - two of them secondhand and the other three discounted. When it comes to designer items, I take a considered approach before pulling the trigger and typically purchase these items after they’ve been on my wishlist for some time. Given the hefty price tags, I take a bit of time performing my due diligence and waiting it out in the hopes of a sale!
The cowboy boot craze seems to be going rife at the moment. New shoe arrivals on every chic online boutique are proof of this. Unlike other ankle boots, such as chelsea boots or pointed leather boots, traditional western boots have a particular aesthetic, making them trickier to style. That said, the Western boots that the street style set are sporting this season are much more refined than the rugged styles of the past. Having never owned a pair from Everlane before, I wanted to try them out for myself, and have been road testing their Western Boot in Light Tan Suede for the past couple of months. They come in a variety of colours and leathers but I couldn’t pass up the fresh tan hue and I’ve yet to try any suede shoes from Everlane.
