Summer has hit big time and I’m struggling to find stylish – not boring af – stuff to wear to work. I ended up digging up out a lot of my silk pieces, which have been perfect for hot afternoons.

Wearing: Grana Silk Crew Neck Tee – Bought this top on a whim and am constantly surprised that I keep reaching to wear it. It’s perfect to wear in a professional context, because it looks sharp, but still has that casual vibe. V ..read more

Cult Gaia Heels and the Sale of the Season

Brought to you Shopbop I’m a sucker for gorgeous shoes… and these soft leather heels from Cult Gaia, do not disappoint! Mixing the on-trend elements of warm tones, woven details, kitten heel and a slight quirky style, they are super soft, comfortable and very cute. They are perfect to wear with relaxed summer dresses, neutral tones and casual jeans, but if you like to do sports, is better to get waterproof running shoes since these are good for any environment and weather. I actually had my eyes on another pair of Cult Gaia heels, but I picked these, because they were more work-friendly ..read more

Everyday Work Loves

I’ve been put on a new project for work and now based in a very corporate workplace. It’s a nice change. Everyone wears corporate uniforms, tailored clothes, jackets and really smart shoes. However this means… I definitely can’t wear my black distressed jeans, graphic tee and sneakers! I’ve been trying to get used to the wardrobe adjustment. And I’ve been loving these few items… 1) Luxe flats. Yes I bought a pair of super gorgeous Kitty Flats by Charlotte Olympia! I don’t know how long they’ll last with the velvet fabric outer. But they are AMAZINGLY comfortable and oh-so cute. 2) An unconve ..read more

About a year ago, I made a plan to look for a pair of sustainable, earth-friendly and ethically produced jeans, fall in love with them, then buy them in ALL colours. Over time, I would slowly replace all my regular jeans with sustainable ones. That was the plan! I ended up buying some Authentic Stretch High-Rise Skinny Jeans from Everlane, in Mid-Blue. Read my full review here. That was 10 months ago. I absolutely LOVED THEM and so yep, I bought them in Black, White, Washed Grey too. Not sponsored, I bought them all myself. I’ve had the black, white and grey jeans for a few months now ..read more

Finding 30 Minutes to Exercise at Work

Ever since I started my new job (three months ago), I have been struggling to find time to exercise. (Geez that sounds so cliched.) Ahh I used to be so fit! I used to cycle 80kms in the morning and go for a light 5km jog in the evenings! I used to run 15km every weekend and wind down with a hot yoga session! Who was that person? Now I’m completely wiped out by a 2km run and need a 2 hour nap. Yeah I feel regret and deep annoyance that I have to start ALL OVER again. Buuut at the same time, I know it won’t take long to work up my fitness. And the actual trick is to… Just start, today. So how d ..read more

In Love With Rixo

Wearing a loud, colourful dress to work, because I can! My office dress code is very casual and everyone usually wears jeans, tee and sneakers. But I have waaaaaay too many lovely clothes sitting in my closet… so I gotta let them see the light of day. This is my Chelsea Dress by Rixo, courtesy of Shopbop. I love LOVE the bright, bold pattern and style – it’s so unusual. It’s cut perfectly and falls so effortlessly, I adore wearing it. It’s probably a great dress to wear to a wedding, but hey, sneakers make any outfit look casual enough for work. Also wearing OAK NY leather jacket (also from S ..read more

Hellooo 5°C mornings! I’m in my second week of working in the city and gosh it’s cold! All my dreams of a fashionable working wardrobe has been put on hold – because all I can manage in the mornings is a combo of : jeans, jumper, blazer, coat, scarf, boots, repeat! I put together a Winter Work Wear Edit, featuring some items I’m in love with, to mix and match with my staples, courtesy of Shopbop. These are the things I WISH I could wear, but who am I kidding, I might have to wait a few more months to wear those gorgeous kitten heel slides. From left(ish) to right.

Review of Isabel Marant Loafers (and other work-friendly flats)

Shopbop are currently having a Sale on Isabel Marant (leather goods/accessories) and Isabel Marant Etoile (clothes) – close to 40% off for most of them! For me, I’ve been looking for a work-friendly “statement” loafer. By “statement”, I don’t mean gemstones, hot neon pink colours and loud clashing prints. I simply mean, loafers that are a little different, and stand out from the usual plain, black flats. Sooo I picked out these stunning Isabel Marant Fezzy Loafers in Cognac. Hellooooo babies! They are simply divine. A statement indeed! I considered buying a pair of Gucci loafers… but as ..read more

Review of Everlane Authentic Stretch High-Rise Skinny Jeans

I’ve been hunting around for a GREAT pair of jeans – ones that are good for the planet, sustainable and ethically produced. I don’t mind paying a bit extra. They just have to be a good fit, good quality and last. I basically wanted to fall in love with one style, then just buy them in all colours: blue, light blue, black, maybe dark grey. Because I’m lazy like that! I bought these Authentic Stretch High-Rise Skinny Jeans from Everlane back in November 2018. (This post isn’t sponsored. I bought them myself. I do get a little bit of commission if you click on my link and buy ..read more

What I Wore: Autumn Floral Dress

I’ve been a bit sick these last few weeks. I’m actually sporting a puffy face, red nose, blue eye bags, aching muscles, zero energy, faded tan and really bad hair… so I don’t look like this picture at all! In fact, I look at this photo and I think — Who is that?? How is that even me?? Jokes aside, I wore this a few weeks ago to an event. The dress is actually a playsuit: Lost in the Wind Playsuit courtesy of Showpo (still available in sizes 6 – 20). I picked it out because I loved the print and the Autumn colours. I got quite a few compliments for it… and two girls thought it looked ..read more
