The Gabrielle Effect

Hermoine Granger was not the first girl to yearn for a bag that could hold a multitude of tricks. For every situation a girl like me likes to smuggle away .. her passport (you never know when you’re going to have to make a quick getaway), a room stopping man-trancing perfum, her technical gadgets and of

Chanel Fall 2017

Sure Thing

I’m pretty sure that by now you’re well familiar with the instagram account ‘Ihavethisthingwithfloors’.. a juicy visual journey of tiled, sandy beach, sidewalk graffitied foot selfies from floor lovers around the globe.  Well, since discovering the said instagram account, I’ve managed to stalk down a number of other ridiculously good accounts with a obsession for

Double Up

Loose Ends

The Libran in me struggles with any lack of symmetry, call it borderline OCDC or maybe even a creative streak, but anything asymmetric usually throws me off guard .  Well times they are a changin baby, lately with a series of slinky asymmetric knits marching down the runway, the scales they are a tipping.  Ryan Roche’s

Chanel N˚5

As Gisele Bunchen paddled into the surf with a black Chanel surfboard underneath her in the most recent Chanel N˚5 campaign by Baz Luhrmann, all that we could think was that’s “The one that I want”.  With this magnificent campaign in mind I recently put pen to paper to create an illustration for Chanel featuring their model

Girl With The Pearl

It’s no secret that we’re all a little pearl obsessed right now and there’s no denying why (thanks Chanel!), but if you’re not already onboard here’s another 22 good reasons to convince you.. Shop some of my favourite oversized pearl options below..

In Transit

Just a bit of a visual update on what I’ve been up to this week.  A quick trip to Melbourne to attend the Myer AW14 show including some sneaky rooftop pool time, followed by some time with my favourite boys before heading off to Paris this week.. very excited.
