The end of 2018 appeared to be one big blurr, some quality down time is definitely what the doctor has ordered for January. Creature comforts known as the material comforts that contribute to physical ease and well-being. Such as good food and accommodation – or in this case good shoes and home accessories. Hope…
Welcome to 2019 my lovely friends. If you’re anything like me you usually write a list of New Years resolutions at the beginning of the year that includes things like exercise more, drink less Prosecco and save … sound familiar? Well this year is going to be there year of change, I’ve made a list…
Ummm what it’s December.. Actually we are half way through December. I can hardly believe it. For us at OF HQ December means gnarly deadlines, the Christmas party, and beach, being in the Southern Hemisphere. Eeek sorry to our cold friends in the Northern Hemisphere, that may be something you don’t really want to hear…
Maybe you’re lying by the fireplace gloriously overfed on Nanna’s yorkshire pudding, scrollaxing through the ‘puppies of instagram’ hashtag. Or even comfortably nuzzled into one of those extra large bean bags on a sunny beach somewhere in Bali, sipping mojito’s with your bestie avoiding the fam and all of their trimmings. Just as an FYI,…
I bet you thought that Christmas was only about one red bag and that was Santa’s. Alas my dear friends there is another red bag on my wish list and it is this little baby from the magnificently timeless Valentino. And although it may sound like I’m here to chat about the glory of a…
To all the minimalists and monochrome lovers out there, I’m sure you will agree that while our love of everything holidays and christmas is strong, perhaps the the traditional red and green palette has never really been our vibe… Sometimes the more pulled back approach ticks all the right boxes. So to all my fellow…
Imagine a wardrobe full of all of the treasures that you never bought. That Acne boot from 2013 that sold in a week and you wished that you’d been quicker, and not planned on waiting for it to go on sale. Or that Celine bag from SS 2018, one of Pheobe’s last collections, at the…
The Tuileries; an iconic green space where Parisians celebrate, meet, stroll and relax. Situated in between the most idyllic French landmarks, the Louvre to the left and Place de la Concorde to the right, what more with regards to location could you ask for in an Oracle Fox Journal Submission. When you live on the complete…
Despite my obsession with Kate McCallister’s wardrobe (the mum from Home Alone, ps. take note of those ridiculously good power shoulders), we’ll be leaving the ugly christmas knits off the wish list around here this holiday season. Sadly the flashing christmas tree earrings and tinsel trimmed mini skirts will also be given a wide birth,…
The Secret Garden, a place where one can escape to a secluded space to be immersed in ivy covered walls and enchanted trees. A place of complete privacy for one to gather their thoughts and enjoy the simple pleasures of sitting among greenery and basking in the stillness… While real life is a different reality…
There is a full blown MGC cheer squad here at the OF headquarters. It probably wouldn’t take you long for you to guess who the squad leader is with the loudest roar and the biggest pom poms. We’ve long been fans of Christian Dior and the long list of house designers who have managed to…
Nicolas Ghesquière is one of our favourite sartorial story tellers. This Spring 2019 collection saw Mr Ghesquière take us on a deep voyage to the outer world of futuristic discovery. Zipping in and out of realities that bridged between worlds based on fantasy and the reality, the designer and his team did not disappoint. Silhouettes with oversized…
