A Leopard in the Urban Jungle

This post marks the beginning of my collaboration with local photographer Sara Mole. Stay tuned for more images from around our fantastic city of sails.


Want to try animal print but afraid of looking like an extra from Coronation Street? Try a grey print instead of the usual yellow or orange-toned leopard print. You get the best of both worlds: elegance with a bit of an edge. Keep accessories minimal and the silhouette simple:

Tricky Trend: Denim + Denim

Now, the idea of wearing denim on top and denim on the bottom has been around for a couple of years. The way to avoid looking like your mother circa 1976? Tailoring, tone and fabric.

I find that denim shirts bulk me out so I have cheated slightly. The shirt I'm wearing is actually cotton voile. As it's dyed a rich shade of indigo, it gives the appearance of denim or chambray but is softer and more tailored. The following pictures show a very casual weekend look, but I also plan to style this baby up with:

- My black Trenery skinny jeans and black Sambag ballet flats.
- My Lonely Hearts black and white cotton pants with Superga sneakers.
- My black Zara shorts, a white tank and Superga sneakers.

Autumn Casual

These photos were taken in Oamaru's beautiful, unique historic precinct on a recent visit to celebrate my niece Jade's 21st birthday. Enjoy!

Tricky Trend: What The Tuck?

Noticed a bit of this happening in fashion shots and apparel retailers' marketing?

The art of tucking a small part of your top into your jeans, trousers, shorts or skirt is trickier than it looks. Add to that a tummy and the heightened risk of camel toe and I don't blame you for approaching with caution, friends. As I have less of a tummy these days I am finally able to wear my skinnies with tops that don't necessarily cover my nether regions. So, I have tackled the tuck and come up with my own take on this trend. In these photos, I have taken a simple grey tee and tucked in a tiny amount of the hem into my jeans, then pulled it out slightly to create some excess fabric:

Tricky Trend: Optical Prints

Optical prints were big news in 2012. Like many trends, it can be difficult to know how to incorporate them into your everyday look without risking the item becoming an orphan in your closet. A cruel reminder of your failed journey into something outside your clothing comfort zone...

New to prints in general, late last year I decided on a pair of optical-print pants from Country Road in black and white silk. Teamed with a plain black top, simple pointy-toe heels and a single item of jewellery (a chunky gold chain bracelet from Moochi in my case), they're a winner. They're tapered in the leg and sit slightly cropped on my ankles. If you have shorter legs, I'd suggest getting pants like these shortened: the gap between shoes and trousers breaks the print, making them less overwhelming. Mine have great drape but are not too billowy. Hip pockets add curves where I naturally have none. The print is interesting but not over the top:
