What I Wore: The LWD

18th March, 2022

I’ve always found the LWD (Little White Dress) to be a worthy opponent to the LBD. There’s something ultra elegant and chic about a crisp white frock that makes it a classic piece to have at the ready. I’ve embraced the LWD in various iterations, but I think it shines the best as a day outfit. I’ve often turned to it as an option for an event or a lunch with friends as it always looks polished and so effortless. I like the illusion that this dress by Esther & Co looks like a two piece ensemble, it actually feels like I’m getting double the wear as it could pass for both. I like the simple knotted feature joining the crop and skirt together, while the split adds a dramatic and sexy touch.

The beauty in LWDs is that you are essentially working with a blank canvas and you can take your shoes and accessories in any direction. For this look, I went with my Bottega Veneta mesh heels, which are a neutral, beige colour and works well against the stark white of the dress. The mesh fabrication and the chain detail also add a very modern twist to this look. Further adding to the fashion forward accessorising, I went with this shearling trimmed Jacquemus bag to add a little texture, but also a quirky feature piece that will add another layer of interest to this outfit.

What I wore this week

18th November, 2021

I’m trying to deal with the constantly changing weather in Sydney which means that I’m finding myself in jeans and a jumper one minute and summer dresses the next. The upside is that I’m getting to utilise some wintery pieces I didn’t get a chance to wear earlier in the year (four months in lockdown meant lounge wear, all day everyday), along with dipping my toe into the summer wardrobe I’ve been dying to wear for several months now! There are just so many fun pieces right now that I’ve bookmarked for the coming months. So here’s a look at what I’ve been wearing of late…

This is pretty much my go-to uniform when I want to feel comfortable but look polished at the same time. This Venroy jumper is really cosy and lightweight which means it’s perfect for helping me navigate transseasonal dressing, while my fave Levis and ultra comfy Ducie sandals round out this look.

There’s something about an all white look that always looks so fresh and sophisticated. I have worn this corset top with jeans before but thought it would look great worked back with white trousers for a dressy look with edge. I paired it with black Bottega Veneta heels and the cutest shearling trimmed Jacquemus big which adds an unexpected touch to my ensemble, plus you can never go wrong with anything mini sized.

I recently discovered the brand Gul Hurgel and love it so much. This printed off the shoulder dress is flirty, feminine and fun and the perfect piece to have in rotation during summer. The ruffles and hearts are all kinds of cute and so great for balmy summer days.  I took the dressy route in this instance by pairing it with a structured clutch and oval framed sunglasses by Le Specs, but I could see this going more casual with some beautiful slides.

Denim is always guaranteed to be on high rotation in my weekly wardrobe repertoire as its such a reliable base for an outfit. I wore an earthy, terracotta-toned top with a bold shoulder detail with this particular look and I’ve found it be such a flattering silhouette, as the statement shoulders achieve a more cinched in look, accentuating the waist. In fact, I rate it so highly that I’ve also got this top in another colour! To add a playful and on trend touch I wore a rainbow choker by Roxanne Assoulin.
