LACED UP.

It's no secret that I love a good lace-up with a suit, and with the new wave of corset belts 
on the market this obsession need no longer be limited to the humble sneaker. 

Chic yet simple, often with a sporty or more casual feel, this fresh take on the corset belt is 
perfect for everyday wear, adding a subtle and functional dose of edge to your basic ensembles.  

And after all - if it's good enough for Marant, it's got to be good enough for the rest of us, right?

RUFFLE ME UP.

Trust my favourite NZ designer to take the ruffle and its undeniably garish overtones and transform 
it into this perfectly minimal, classic piece you see before you. 

Perfectly voluminous yet clean and subtle, the ruffle is now thankfully less Little House on the Prairie 
and more get in my shopping cart, stat! than ever before thanks to the likes of Georgia Alice, ELLERY, 
Rachel Comey and A.W.A.K.E. to name just a few. The key to shopping the look? Stick to muted or 
monochromatic tones with minimal finishes and clean lines - unfussy, soft and sleek is the name of 
the game.

You can shop my entire outfit below + a few of my favourite ruffled-up picks right here.

A FRESH TAKE.

A change of season always pushes me to experiment with my standard style, and right now I am all 
about a fresh take on accessories. 

Moving away from solely black bags and shoes and into a chic new world of muted tones is the name 
of the game, with beautifully soft tans, khakis, creams, burgundies and even pastels (if you are more 
daring than I..) working to really freshen and elevate an otherwise all black or monochromatic wardrobe. 
I've paired these Gray Matters pumps and MM6 Maison Margiela tote accordingly with some standard 
and purposefully old (sorry they don't exist anymore) black and white pieces to really bring home the
 point, as the real test of a new accessory purchase is whether it can bring new life to those time-honoured 
staples and help take them seamlessly into the new season. 

So shop smart, get into this new take on accessories and lighten up that trans-seasonal wardrobe with 
a bold, anything-but-black attitude. Like me, you might be surprised at just how much you love it.
