the sustainers :: re/done.

I need to go back to my roots and love right now. Bring some of my eco-ness to the forefront. My current sewing project is a special bunting number, with multiple twists - one being the fact that I didn’t pay a cent for any of the fabrics. Thanks to mum and old projects for…

sweater weather.

Ordinarily it would seem strange for a Sydneysider to take part in a sweater weather tag during September. The rain has made this craziness redundant though. And in true Australian fashion I’ve adjusted every “fall” to “autumn” instead, which is a lie about my actual current situation, but whatever. Here we go. The rules of…

sydneysider for (more than) a day.

Because to be honest, I’ve been here for my entire life, and may not get much further. The Bachelorette is about to start so this is being pumped out fast. An important community notice : before you turn to Spotify tomorrow, make sure you listen to Leandra’s Oh Boy interview. It solidifies my love for…

model muse:: rachel rutt.

I’ve always recognised the face of Rachel Rutt - a regular icon in Russh and Oyster, breaking the fashion world mould with Singaporean x English background. Then she reached the next level in my files when I finally uncovered her woollen skills in a whimsical Oyster shoot. Knitwear has never looked so cool. Not just…

how to sick day.

As someone who battles to stop and do nothing ever, sick days are a real struggle. I’m meant to be resting but I always want to get the chores done or do some creating. Yesterday may just be my most successfully restful sick day ever. Here’s how it went: 8am - Wake up groggy and…

julie white x australia.

The lovely Frankie introduced me to this doozy of a label. One scan of the website’s images and I’m hooked - impossible to not be when they involve iced vovo’s and kiwi fruit socks. Epitome of Australia, hence the name of the latest collection, Straya Daze. Julie White is a girl after my own heart,…

inspiration wall :: sept.

We’ve had a good start to September. The beach has been ticked off, along with drinking coconuts and sun soaking. Making the most of every warm moment, and trying to avoid being stuck indoors. - Yes, the Dior Cruise 2016 show was a while ago now. But how can you not reminisce on this greatness?…

reliving :: acne studios.

I have just become a user of the latest fashionappster addition - Villoid. This is the beginning of a tumultuous and potentially dangerous relationship. We went from the daily Net-a-Porter feed to eBay madness and now this. All are still at play, but as with any millennial, I move on. New obsessions take their place.…

photoshoot :: beachy.

Now that it is technically spring again I can start bringing these back, never mind the fact that I am sitting in front of a fire right now and used my hot water bottle the other night. The epitome of a fresh, sunny day is lying on the beach, ducking in for a swim, healthy…

tommy ton lives on.

I’m trying to distract myself from the fact that one of my go-to, always trustworthy, forever motivating websites has now been converted. Style.com is dead, but will live on in my heart. My links and saved bookmarks have disappeared in cyberspace, housed in a completely different exterior. All that untapped material. Even worse is that…
