There are some things that are cliches for a reason: because they’re just so utterly wonderful. For me, no matter how many ‘Top 10 Things to do in New York!’ lists the Brooklyn Bridge winds up on (and the throngs of tourists that come with the package), a visit to New York never feels complete without an homage to that… View Post
New Orleans is a hard place to encapsulate in mere words. At once beautiful and dishevelled, it is steeped in layers and layers of history which make it so compelling. This was my very first trip to the city, and I was enthralled from the first moment. My friend Nicolette and I flew down to Louisiana the day after I… View Post
Welcoming the crisp days of autumn. Brightening grey mornings with an abundance of vintage jewels + a favourite new perfume that smells like turkish delight. Buying myself Miu Miu cocktail rings (just because). Fuelling my Baublebar obsession with sparkly crystal necklaces and earrings. Good weekends that start with bunches of fresh flowers and good coffee. A few of my favourite… View Post
1. Play: I am super excited to be making my first trip to New Orleans at the end of this month (before a week in New York). I am looking forward to Halloween adventures, Southern food and exploring a new corner of America with my BFF Nicolette and her significant other (see my adventures from last Halloween in New York here)….

I was delighted to have been asked by Michael Kors and Selfridges to be involved in their latest campaign, How I Wear My Kors. Regular readers may remember one of my previous collaborations with the brand here, and when dear Michael asks, the only answer is “of course!” This time around, they again wanted to spotlight real women in their… View Post
Perfume and macarons. Rainy day morning tea dates at Laduree. Doing my seasonal wardrobe detox and organisation and re-discovering forgotten Miu Miu treasures. Shiny patent ballet flats with bows on the toes and crystal-studded heels. Adding a dash of sparkle to dreary autumnal mornings. Weekend adventures in Notting Hill. Dreaming of a pastel townhouse of my own. Vintage treasure-hunting on… View Post
Of all the neighbourhoods in London, Notting Hill is one of my favourites. I first stumbled upon Portobello Road ten years ago (on my first visit to London by myself, all wide-eyed and overly enthusiastic and probably searching for Hugh Grant), and it was love at first sight. Even though these days, Portobello Road is horribly overrun with noisy tourists every… View Post
1. Buying: I wear my blush Mulberry Lily handbag (available here and here) so much that I’ve just ordered this dark blush version for winter. What can I say; I know what I like! 2. Sparkling: I have a thing for beautiful bracelets, and the double-cuff (the same bracelet worn symmetrically on each wrist) has become my jewellery signature. This… View Post
Weekend Notting Hill dates with Dearne, my favourite Australian girl in London (before she moved back to Melbourne). Twirling on the pastel streets and dreaming of a coloured townhouse of my own. The best brunch in London at Granger & Co on Westbourne. Watermelon gelato. Wearing ladylike skirts and pretending I’m Audrey in Roman Holiday (if only I could find… View Post
