Back in five
Beauties, I’m off to Melbourne for a 10 day sojourn. Back soon! xx PS No, I won’t be looking like this on my hometown holiday (drat!). But I have been inspired to seek out some crisp white pants for summer, post-baby bump of course. *Image by The Sartorialist. About these ads
An ode to the dress
July 21, 2011
This lovely article in The New York Times by Ruth La Ferla, is about the enduring allure of a summer dress. I remember a time, in my teens and early twenties, when dresses were not that popular, at least among my social circles. I was an adolescent in the grunge era of the 1990s, or to be […]
I love cosy cream sweaters
May 9, 2011
Winter is coming and it’s snuggly, soft, loving, doting. Sleeping, eating, reading, talking. Walking along cobbled streets at night with icy cheekbones, wriggling fingers deep into woollen gloves and cosy pockets. Hot chocolate by day, red wine by night. Umbrellas in every colour like hats floating above heads, long table dinners with candles and spices. […]
Style inspiration: autumnal colours, vintage detail & the new hemline
February 28, 2011
What a beautiful image: I love the sumptuous ginger chestnut hair, the loose, long, intricate folds and detail of the dress and the warm chocolate loafers. It’s a beautiful Autumnal look: college-style masculine meets fairytale feminine. Note the straps revealing a white slip underneath: older and much wiser women in my family have always insisted […]
Five (style) things New Yorkers do well
December 18, 2010
On my first day back in the office after returning to Australia from New York I walked down the street for a coffee and realised that I did not feel particularly Australian in my attire. I had been in the US for just on a month and on this first day back I was wearing […]

30 things I’ve learned about myself
October 10, 2010
Turning 30 in New York City was the best thing EVER but it also prompted a little soul-searching I did not anticipate. I have always been moderately self-critical; I am not a full-blown perfectionist but I do expect a lot of myself across the entire spectrum of my being. This means I expect myself to […]
Marchesa’s Ballerinas: From New York Fashion Week
September 17, 2010
You know how much I love ballerina style, so imagine my delight when I happened upon this New York Fashion Week fairytale look from Marchesa. *Image courtesy Getty via Bellasugar Australia. Oh the whimsy of it! The unkempt yet decidedly ladylike bun, the arched brows, the forest-berry lips, the unusual but oh so perfect white-winged […]
New York City Style: unexpected surfaces
September 16, 2010
Just a little post tonight as a sweet dreams teaser. One of the things I adored about NYC was the unexpected textures, surfaces and details. From a pot-plant dripping in yellow flowers sitting all alone on a concrete step in a Soho street to seemingly ordinary corporate buildings encased in some kind of muted silver […]
Ohne Titel: uplifting blue and soft, soft leather
September 15, 2010
Leather, leather everywhere once again it seems – going by the offerings at NY Fashion Week. I like this Ohne Titel look (another cool New York City label) because of the contrast created between the softness and malleability of the milk carton blue skirt and the sleek simplicity of the leather tank. Simple but artful. […]
