Would you like that upsized? Yes to everything, as long as Kym Ellery is at the helm. My love of Ellery’s designs seems to grow with every season, much like her sleeves, and flares, and bows.

Always Add Pants
In an effort to make my summer outfits more appropriate for wild weather swings (increasingly common in Sydney) I have taken to wearing pants under my dresses and always having a poncho stuffed somewhere in my overcluttered handbag. Space restrictions rule out the option of an umbrella. I live in hope Sydney’s dramatic weather (hashtag global […]

Logo tees and patent leather, can you get more slavishly on-trend? I’ve found myself stocking up on logo tees, embroidered tees, and absolutely pining over this $570 Gucci tee, as ridiculous as that price tag is. I bought this (fake) patent leather skirt in Rome for an absolute steal when I was visiting in October […]

Yes Sir
Bringing a tropical vibe to the backstreets of Redfern, where the mugginess feels more like Pre-monsoon Mumbai than east coast Australia.

Purple Reign
Feeling very Kendall Jenner recently and pairing my thigh high boots with just about anything and everything. Silk and suede? Absolutely. Add French Chantilly lace to the mix for an unexpected plot twist. Pants optional.

Ellery at the Opera
“The sun did not know how beautiful its light was, until it was reflected off this building.” This is one of my favourite quotes from American architect Louis Khan as it perfectly captures just how emotionally powerful architecture can be. Enter stage right, the incomparable Sydney Opera House, accordingly paired with Ellery’s incomparable flares. Currently on a […]

Easily Suede
I finally jumped on the suede trench bandwagon, and I can tell you it’s a good place to be. Unless it’s raining. In which case, the ripped knee jeans and open toed shoes you paired it with are unlikely to help the situation. But mastering the art of predicting Sydney weather is a lesson […]
