Wearing: Miguelina lace jumpsuit (Net-A-Porter Sale or on Shopbop), Star Mela embellished clutch, Windsor Smith sandals (similar here), Jennifer Zeuner Mini Eye & Hamsa Necklace, Tai Infinity Necklace, Elizabeth and James ring, Jennifer Myer ring. There is no denying that my wardrobe has recently become a jumpsuit only zone. I find that playsuits and jumpsuits have much more personality and functionality than any dress. Although this lace jumpsuit isn’t the most versatile piece away from the beach or poolside being sheer crochet, it was my personal favourite…

Nourish

Posted on:

Cold Tuesday mornings… not a lot can tempt me out of bed at 6am unless it’s the cookbook launch of fitness guru Lorna Jane.

A cookbook is packed with delicious recipes firmly focusing on nourishment rather than dieting.

Eighties Indo

Posted on:

channelling my inner 80’s streak today with a little fluro printed Kenzo singlet and some high waisted black and white printed shorts. Reflective sunglasses seemed only a natural add on for this look, but why stop there! Bold orange pumps finish this fun, almost miami vice inspired look perfectly. As I’m in Bali, opting for havaianas may be the safest way of getting around the streets, but you get that idea that a simple look can be transformed with just a simple coloured heel. Hard to believe I’ve been in …
