embrace your blindness

There are some things annoying about wearing glasses. When they fall off in down-dog at yoga, for example, or when my boyfriend, Mr N, knocks them off my face in particular passionate embraces. Other than that, I do love wearing glasses. I love them more when paired with silk shirts primly buttoned all the way up. For one thing, they make you look instantly wiser. At the moment, I have a new pair of Paul Smith tortoiseshell glasses that are just beautiful. They are quite round, but not quite 'Harry Potter'. This J Crew model above has one my favourite looks going on: print shirt, orange lips and bold spectacles.

we love aesop

Today I had a perfect Melbourne morning - the weather was fine, I had a great coffee at City Wine shop (my boyfriend lives a couple of doors and a theatre down) and a facial at Aesop. I came away smelling like refined botanicals. Picked up the parsley seed cleanser with lactic acid, which is great for exfoliation. Hello glowing skin.

I'm into coloured jeans, stripy basics and reading Travel Almanac, and dreaming of voyages.

On gloomy, rainy days like today, all I can think about is stocking up my wardrobe with ankle boots, warm jumpers and hats.

This jumper from Thursday Sunday is totally amazing, and looks like it is a lot of fun to eat apples in.
