Silk for Summer

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. This is me in my insanely clean work bathrooms! 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. Vince Wrap Skirt – This skirt is so beautiful. It’s like luxurious liquid metal when I move. Isabel Marant Leo Flats – I bought ..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. I actually had my eyes on another pair of Cult Gaia heels, but I picked these, because they were more work-friendly with their low heel. I’m super excited to share that ALL the Cult Gaia shoes from Shopbop are on sale at the moment. They are havin ..read more

Inside Bill’s Brain

I really enjoyed the latest TV documentary about Bill Gates, Inside Bill’s Brain. I am always searching for great documentaries, or interesting/educational talks to watch with my kids (teenagers) that are well-produced, entertaining, and provoke some kind of discussion. Inside Bill’s Brain ticked those boxes. I couldn’t help but jot down some notes as I watched it (please don’t judge me) and thought I’d share it here. My takeaways: – Bill Gates apparently reads 150 pages an hour and has 90% retention. I’m so jealous! – Both his parents were very involved in the community, on boards for variou ..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 business shirts, 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 unconventi ..read more

This time last year was a big year of transition for me. All that stuff about stepping outside your comfort zone, doing what scares you, thinking bigger, seeking change and growth… blah blah blah, even though these phrases made my eyes roll, it turned out that it was exactly what I needed. I wouldn’t say I was unhappy. I was just plodding along, stuck in a rut and needed a new challenge :) And now that I’m in the thick of this new challenge, I’ve learnt so much about myself. It’s been an amazing process that I’ll share soon. As for this photo: This particular day we were at a wedding lunch in ..read more

Rock Climbing with My Team

Helloooo from 60m up the side of a cliff! I recently went for a whole day of rock climbing and abseiling for my company’s regular “Team Day”. I’ve never been abseiling before. And I’ve done indoor rock climbing once – with my kids – where we followed colour-coded hand grips that indicated levels of difficulty. But this was outdoor rock climbing. No perfectly formed hand grips! No air conditioning! And no hot coffee waiting at the end! 28 of us headed over to a popular outdoor rock climbing spot, an old quarry in the Perth Hills. As I was waiting for my turn at the top of the cliff, I informed ..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 (sitti ..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

With spring just around the corner (tomorrow!), I was keen to put together a list of items and styles that I’m LOVING at the moment — and they are a bit hot! They’re not florals or cliched spring colours either. Try: Dark colours, animal prints, low contrast patterns, slight retro feel, chunky shapes with slight feminine detail. Enjoy!
