Another long hiatus.. I’m such a terrible blogger, sorry guys!

BUT I’m back now :)  And check out this gorgeous satchel – isn’t it pretty? It’s one of designer Bracher Emden’s new Classic Collection, which they have just released. I’ve been given the exciting challenge of styling a few of them, so I’d love to know what you think. This is my version of ‘working woman’, accessorized with the perfect satchel of course!

Hope you’re week’s off to a good week!

Here is the last look shot in Auckland before I flew back to London, featuring a wardrobe favourite – this print sweater. It’s pretty psychedelic right? I love it!

This week has been so hectic.. but not long until the weekend now, yay :) Just keep that sun shining for me!

Hope you’re having a good week :)

Hey folks!

Here are a few snapshots I wanted to share with you – of a beautiful place I’m lucky to call home. I know I get carried away with scenery shots sometimes (and particularly when it comes to New Zealand), but I can’t help it – it’s all just too picturesque ;)

Hope you like them!

One of the best things about being home is being constantly surrounded by water – whether that’s the ocean, or our lovely pool at home. Having now spent 6 years living in two huge, densely populated cities, I appreciate more than ever the space we have in New Zealand, and the easy access to open spaces and nature. So lucky!

Time to start packing.. I’m heading back to London tonight!

See you on the other side ;)

Another ridiculously lovely day in Auckland.. I feel so lucky! Time to test out a piece that has been pretty popular so far this (European) spring: the skort.

I’m not really one for wearing skirts much – I love them on other people, but I find them a bit impractical myself (plus I’m a tad too clutzy to really wear skirts with any kind of elegance… ). The skort has been the ideal solution for a while, but leave it to trusty Zara to come up with a design that makes the skort look so trendy!

Let me know what you think! :)

Hey lovely people! :)

Sorry for a slight lag in posts lately, things in NZ have been all-consuming. But today I want to focus on how amazing the NZ autumn weather has been! It’s enough to make me want to give up the London dream and move back home.. almost ;)

This sweet printed top is from Zara – the perfect little piece to wear out and about in the sunshine! Working on trying to bring a little more colour back into my wardrobe again. What do you think?
