sunday afternoon, four old friends from culinary school came over for brunch. in other words, five pastry chefs gathered at my apartment sunday and they all brought food. for my part, despite two late nights in a row – friday night was my going away party at work, and saturday night was a close friend’s birthday – i roused myself at a reasonable hour (10 am is reasonable, right?) and started cookin’.the apple cake i made can be found here; it was great, nice and light, not like a lot …

I think it’s safe to say that nearly everyone of us has a basic black and white stripe tee or singlet in their drawers. I’ve always been a black and white girl myself and it’s only been recently that I’ve started to embrace colour. Experimenting with styles and creating them to be your own, is what makes fashion fun, so why are we so shy when it comes to colour. My love for the colour red is a new found love and now I find myself drawn to it and …

hello! i’m still getting my bearings after a quick vacation this past weekend – me and a few friends booked a b&b in nashville, tennessee; i’d been looking forward to it for weeks, and i packed my suitcase carefully the night before – i’m a notorious over-packer, and wanted to travel light this time – and was headed out the door for work when i realized that i didn’t have my passport. (i’ve lived in new york for nearly four years, and chicago for five years before that, so when i …

Wearing: Monki Oversized Blazer via Asos | Saba shirt dress (similar here) | Alexander Wang ‘Kelli’ boots(budget version here) | Alexander Wang Prisma Skeletal Envelope Clutch bag | Ray Ban Original Aviator sunglasses | Daniel Wellington watchAdhering to a largely minimalist aesthetic as I do, I am very much committed to buying classic wardrobe pieces in unexpected cuts, shapes and lengths. Playing with proportions adds interest and that essential edge I look for when getting dressed everyday, with oversized blazers, drop-crotch pants and ankle-grazing coats being my current …

Halter
Wearing: DVF halter jumpsuit, Windsor Smith sandals, Bop Basics tote, Jennifer Zeuner Mini Eye & Hamsa Necklace, Elizabeth and James ring, Jennifer Myer ring. Another flashback to our time in Bali, exploring more of The Mulia on the last morning there. As soon as I spotted this DVF wide legged jumpsuit I knew it would be perfect for Bali’s heat and humidity, being lightweight, airy and most importantly comfortable enough to lounge around in.

Pathway To Chandra
I used to be a shorts and pants kinda girl, but now I’m loving skirts. Skirts can be worn during the day with and oversized tee or denim shirt and then pop on a bustier for that evening look. They look great with heels and sandals and are trans seasonal, which makes for a great wardrobe staple. The wrap detailing on this 3/4 skirt is extremely flattering and allows you to be experimental with colours. This bustier has been worn alot on this trip, as I also teamed with high waisted …

To The Country Side
Those winter getaway’s are nearly here. For me growing up in New Zealand our winter getaways were always about heading to the country, doing bush walks, feeding the animals and lighting that large cozy fire. Hard to believe we are still in autumn, I’ve already thrown on the electric blanket and ugg boots (yes I feel the cold easily) and my chunky jumpers are out in full force. On the weekends in winter we all tend to rug up in those almost country inspired outfits, well I do anyway. Comfortable …

White Label.
Shots from my collaboration with The Dark Horse Jewellery, styling exclusive pieces from their ‘White Label’ line. All about working classic pearls back with clean, almostmasculine silhouettes to offset their inherently feminine nature. These two necklaces have already sold out on pre-order (you guys are quick!), but do keep an eye out for a second round if you are interested by heading here.

hello! it is pretty hard to believe, but it seems that winter is pretty much petering out – it was a pretty quiet and sneaky winter to begin with, and now it’s slipping out without ever really making itself known. i barely got to break out any tights at all, all winter long!regardless, end of winter means that striped bass season is about to start – which means i have a lot of freezer space to clear out. sam’s been making fishing trips nearly every week, so i have vacuum sealed …

The Full Monty on Tess
Definition: The Full Monty: A British slang phrase. It is generally used to mean "everything which is necessary, appropriate, or possible; ‘the works’" . . . Over the years, I have always asked people where did you get that shoe, that dress, that bag (hence the "I had to ask" section). So much so that I wanted to start a wardrobe series that goes further. First up is Tess Rueth who I met at her home in Brooklyn. Fendi heels from the Fendi boutique Fendi bag from Barneys "The Fendi…
