Foreign Correspondant

Current wardrobe inspiration: Puss’N’Boots.  Trust me, it wasn’t supposed to happen this way but I’ll blame in on a childhood obsession with fairy tales, or better still, modern day romantic Kym Ellery. As I took my place last season in Paris at Kym’s AW16 show, I knew that we were in for trouble.  Blue lame

Sunday Sanctuary: Perfect Order

When your email inbox is full and you can’t remember the last time you had the chance to put your feet up… Just take a moment to imagine yourself sitting at that perfect Danish designed table setting, with beams of sunshine warming your face and an empty to do list. Aaaaaah yes, if you ask

Trend: Tied Up

Wrap it, knot it, thread it, tie it.  We’ll take our new favourite pieces gently restrained, attractive and subtly complicated right now .. just like how we love our men ..

Off White

If Yeezy says it’s ok, then who’s going to argue right?  Virgil Abloh isn’t just one of Kanye’s closest collaborators, he’s the brainchild behind contemporary cool kid label Off White. I may not be all that cool and I may not be a kid, but can buying a new pair of jeans change all that?  Who knows,

Hazelnut

Pantone’s 2nd biggest colour trend for 2017 straight after ‘Kale’ is, wait for it .. ‘Hazelnut’.  We’re all a little excited around here, and feeling a little hungry as talk of next years colour palette seems to have a slightly ah hem .. ‘organic approach’. Muted tones are back and before we start mixing them in

Bell Raiser

Luckily for me I only just read on the weekend that one of Vogue.com’s biggest trends for 2017 with be the exaggerated sleeve.  From JW Anderson to Rosy Assoulin, the bigger the bells the better, just work these babies into your wardrobe with your favourite denim or even a patent leather mini.  Trust me, in

Sunday Sanctuary: The Real Thing

  You guys… As it’s a Sunday night, let’s just take a moment to close our eyes and imagine ourselves with a glass of wine in hand, the latest Vogue and some serious rancho relaxo in that marble bath. Aaaah yes, we all deserve it… And I think we all deserve the perfect bright, minimalist

Slinky

What could be better than running around barefoot on the beach in your birthday suit than running around on the beach on your birthday in this?  We’ll leave the birthday suit runs for after sunset, in the words of my bff .. the less witnesses the better .. satin dress: Bec & Bridge photography +

Shape Shifter

It’s funny you know, I started the Journal to tell visual stories .. tales of whispy white haired Nordic girls cloaked in oversized clever cardigans, or angular Aussie Fresh Faces pulling abstract poses in Alexander Wang. It’s just that the more that I collaborate with other creatives and the more cool girls that we shoot, I

Not So Orchid

This was supposed to be a post about my friends Robert and Sarah, who are not only the funniest late night party animals that I know but also the super awesome duo behind Sarah & Sebastian.   Now, you might be thinking here, wait a minute, Sarah and Robert .. well then who’s Sebastian?  Don’t get confused

Red Red Wine

Actually right now, I’d rather be dead than not wearing red.  From burgundy bombers, to velvety wine coloured loafers .. dear red, we can’t get you out of our head. silk cami top: Ellery  .  flared trousers: Chloe  .  paisley-print silk scarf: Ellery  . bomber jacket: Balenziaga  .  silk scarf: Chloe  .  shoulder bag: Loewe  .

Circle Work

I don’t know how this happened but somewhere between shoe-string chokers and slinky cami-dresses, I developed an unhealthy obsession with ring shaped hardware.  Blame it on that Celine collection where rings were all the thing, or just those internal bower bird moments relating back to being a Libran, finger pointing much? Either way, Queen B said it best
