February 2022 Mood Board

My February 2022 Mood Board has a few standout themes. Creamy winter whites and inspiring spaces reflect my desire for a new place to call and make home. Carbs and cheese are, of course, what make life worth living during the winter. I am prioritizing meaningful rest during my downtime, and Jasmine Dowling’s recent post speaks to my current mindset perfectly. I feel older this month, yet I am still learning new things about myself – I want to prioritize my spending towards big-ticket items that will last a lifetime (good shoes, quality jewellery) rather than fast fashion or...

2022 Vision Board

Lifestyle

My 2022 vision board was a challenging one to create. Things feel so uncertain, it’s difficult to visualize what the next week will look like, let alone the next year. There is some major change happening in my life at the very start of this year. While it’s incredibly exciting, anything new is a little daunting. And let’s not even talk about the precarious circumstances surrounding this ever-evolving (and seemingly never-ending) pandemic and resulting uncertain travel plans. I am SO grateful for 2021, the lessons it taught me and the opportunities it allowed for. I ended last year closer...

New York Guide 2022

Travel

Rediscovering New York and creating this new itinerary feels like the first bit of normalcy I’ve had in almost two years. I have missed travelling, missed exploring new places, returning to favourite haunts, and in general, just being inspired by the sight of something new. I still firmly believe that my last itinerary very much holds up and I ended up revisiting many past favourites again this time. It was a huge relief that nothing had changed too much. Fly Flying felt just like it always has when taking Porter Air from the island airport, with just a little...

Moodboard: October 2021

Lifestyle

Fall has certainly arrived in my October 2021 Moodboard. Cozy knits, shearling jackets and winter whites reign supreme. Our first trip in over a year has been booked – Bonjour New York – providing endless inspiration and reasons to research this month. Holidays and party dressing are also on the horizon. Is it possible we’ll have a reason to break out velvet dresses and statement headbands for a baguette-lined banquet table this Christmas season? And finally, work and creativity remain a challenge but putting together the pieces for a passionate life will be a priority. I just adored this...

Autumn Style: 3 Ways

Lifestyle

I find that, come autumn, my style tends to inhabit three distinct personas: Elevated Former Bohemian, Downtown Pastel Princess, and Tweed and Velvet Uptown Girl. I can’t help myself...

Moodboard: September 2021

Uncategorized

September is made for ivory layers (covering corps and architectural triumphs, alike), simple reminders to improve moods, cozy abodes, bags full of baguettes, and the magic of Channing & Zoe’s unlikely pairing. Past monthly moodboards have truly been just pulled from my “Saved” folder but this month’s is really for manifesting, too. Particularly in the form of pondering a Parisian escape and a place to call home.

Florals for Spring?

Lifestyle

Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking… This dress by Zara feels oh-so Zimmermann. While I’ve been trying to do less fast-fashion these days, this purchase felt inevitable. As things are reopening,...

Moodboard: June 2021

Lifestyle

My June 2021 moodboard was all about colour, inspirational messages, soft interiors, and a pervasive addiction of all things toile. It’s time to start dreaming again, and as of Saturday I’ll be fully vaccinated and ready to start re-entering life as we knew it. Or life as it will be. I’ll be channelling Sharon Tate at the beach and Elvira Hancock at the club. I’ll set my sights on Hong Kong’s colourful facades and Aperol spritzes on the beach, all while wearing SS 2022 Casablanca mini dresses and eating in-season strawberries, of course. Am I totally ready? Not at...

Spring Separates

Outfits

Building out my wardrobe for this season and I just couldn’t resist these pastel spring separates. It’s an interesting time to be buying, as so much remains uncertain. Will...

Moodboard: May 2021

Lifestyle

My moodboard for May 2021 is all about dreams and green. This month, we remain in lockdown, watching the world open up around us. Yet hope is in the air; everywhere you look, the trees are suddenly green and there are blooms and flowers everywhere. I received my first vaccine dose today, and have a date secured for my second. Suddenly, booking a trip doesn’t feel like something to look forward to someday, but rather something to look forward to in September. So for a few more weeks, I’m embracing the best parts of lockdown: time to read magazines...
