Winter in Sydney has most definitely arrived. Whilst last week I was easily getting away with skirts and a long sleeve tee, this week was all about bringing out the coats and scarves, Just like my wardrobe changes with the shift in weather, so too does my skincare. My focus turns a little more towards ensuring my skin stays hydrated, so I have recently switched up my routine and have started using Derma e's range, The products are eco-friendly, vegan and natural, which is super important for me as I try to cut out chemicals from my beauty routine as much as possible. My skin has definitely been responding and looking clearer. My favourite product is purifying 2-in-1 charcoal mask - there is

This week (and last week and the week before....) have been insanely busy. You know those weeks where your to-do list is overwhelming and its a struggle to fit everything in? Yep, it's currently that time of the semester. I have my thesis defence due in less than two weeks (which is basically the Phd halfway checkpoint) , which means I am frantically finishing writing my proposal. In a bit of procrastination, I was going to post my Fashion Week round up on the blog tonight (it's coming I promise!), but thought instead I'd quickly let you know about the Revolve sale happening this week. I first heard about the brand after seeing their Coachella party pop up on my insta newsfeed a few years ag

Layers, layers, layers is my current mantra for Sydney's unseasonably warm Autumn, It's all about those select pieces that can take you from chilly mornings to warm days, to icy nights, Investing in a quality black wool knit jumper is the perfect option. This particular Metalicus one (buy here) is super soft and comfortable, with a longer back making it easy to layer over jeans (or a sparkly skirt). I teamed this one with a wool scarf (check it out here) to protect from the wind chill that seems to emerge as soon as the sun goes down. xx

Some days, uni outfits mean throwing on my activewear (yes, I'm one of those girls, hehe). Other days however, its straight from uni to dinner and drinks or a fashion event, which calls for something a little more dressy. On these kinda days, it's fun to dress it up a little, which is exactly what I did with this cute little Beginning Boutique number. Whilst some off the shoulder tops can be a little uncomfy, this one stays on without the need for constant adjusting, making it perfect for dashing around campus. Teamed with my black boots and a black bomber, this outfit took me from class yesterday, straight to a fashion launch - versatile indeed! P.S. If you're a uni student, you can score

There is nothing quite like a rooftop bar and marble tables to make a venue the perfect spot to welcome in another weekend. The Royal Hotel Paddington (on the corner at Five Ways) was such a lovely spot for my late Friday lunch-turned drinks. The cocktails are delicious, as is the food - Brittany and I started with appetizers of avo on toast (what else?), a side of pumpkin and a huge serving of truffle fries. Our mains - vitality salads with grilled salmon - were also generous servings and were seriously yum, After lunch we took our rosè up to the rooftop to admire the expansive views of Sydney, finishing off a lovely afternoon.
