Cut Work

Sometimes it’s not what you put into something but it’s what you take out.  The cut-out trend and I have been on and off again lovers, dancing the game of are we meant to be together or are we better off calling it quits until further notice. However, in recent times thanks to the likes

Head Start

Why hey there and happy New Year!  How surreal it feels to be kicking off 2016, it’s going to be a big year and so far we’re off to a perfect start.  As you’ll probably already know I’ve been on holidays in California and Mexico but I’m finally back and so happy to sink my

Nearly Nude

  The weather doesn’t have to be hot and steamy for you to go ‘nude’.  Creamy Ecru’s, buttery tan’s and neutral nudes are key colour highlights of the season. No matter how you wear nude, even if it is “a la natural” be sure to wear it with confidence and know that you can never be

Shape Shifter

Bell sleeves are my favourite alternative to bell bottoms, and .. let’s be honest they’re easier to dance in.   The down side is that you might notice the remnants of spaghetti marinara here or there if you look close enough..so eating in these bad boys is not recommended, but I can tell you that it was totally

An Unusual Approach

Charlie May may be one of the most stylish Englishwomen I know, just head to her Instagram and you’ll see what I mean.  Between images of her most recent campaigns, art references and the best foodstagram moments on the feed it’s clear to see that this lady has a taste for cool factor. Henceforth, my thoughts on this

The Statement Earring

Blame it on Phoebe Philo for instilling in us our current obsession .. the statement earring.   Referencing the oversized baubles of the early 80’s, a’la Diana Ross circa 1984, but taking on a more modern artistic twist, the statement earring needs to hit the red on your ‘must-have’ barometer this season.   Best accompanied with a

Black Magic

It only feels like a week ago that I was backstage at Australian Fashion Week talking to my good friend Toni Maticevski about finding the ‘zen’, you know .. how to be creative and draw upon one’s inner calm in an industry so full throttle.   Mr Maticevski is the master of zen so it

High Expectations

There was a time when I felt like the ‘pleat’ conjured images of girl guide uniforms or even Britney Spears, don’t deny that you don’t know what I’m talking about.  Well if it’s possible, aversion has turned to affection and the pleat is currently on high repeat. Crimpy, boxy and even leathery there is all kinds of

Hello Mademoiselle

Bonjour, hello and how do you do!  From the banks of the River Siene I bid you a warm welcome and I’m sorry that I haven’t personally touched based in a little while.  You see .. it’s true what they say about Paris, it’s certainly a place where you can loose yourself,  just be sure that  it’s

Werk

I’m more than happy to admit that I can be a little bit of a sentimentalist. There are some things that one cannot just throw away..high school art projects = stored safely under my stairwell, hand written love notes =  under the high school art projects and let’s not forget those grade 5 figure skates .. you

Kick Back

Whether you like it or not socks and sandals are infiltrating the fashion community like army ants on a donut.  Always a fan of donuts and not so much socks and sandals I’ve been giving this look a nudge and finding something addictively satisfying about the comfort level of this unconventional couple.  We all know
