This is a piece of prose I wrote at the end of winter of 2015. It was an important day in my life. I wanted to remember how it felt to live in that moment so I painted myself a picture in words to look back on later. This week I read it again and [...]
Tag: Winter
What I wore: simple grey day
I love comfy clothes and my work outfits are usually quite simple and fuss-free. I love soft, flowing fabrics and boots are a must in winter. I'm also a real 'jeans girl' and I wear them as much as I can to work - you just have to be sure to make them look slightly [...]
What I wore today: Casual Friday
Thank God it's Friday! What a week... Some big changes are happening in my professional life so I'm excited and scared at the same time. Today, I thought I'd take full advantage of the phrase "casual Friday" and dress really comfy. So, here's what I wore today. I'm wearing: Blue Jumper - Cotton On Mint [...]
Wanting to hibernate
I'm not sure what it is this month, but I've been feeling so dull. If I were once shining like a warm little firefly, I am currently emitting light similar to the soul-crushing fake fluorescents in my office building... it's like I'm in 'survival mode' instead of 'happy, contented Heidi mode'. I rant and rave [...]
From my iPhone: winter snapshots
We've been on a mini break in the last week so I thought it would be nice to just pop up some snapshots today instead of a full-length post. Winter in Sydney is so beautiful - some days the sky looks like summer! We've enjoyed tasty brekkies on chilly mornings and sunny walks when we [...]
What I wore today: snuggly bug
The sun finally came out today so we took the opportunity to go for a much-needed walk. The sun was so beautiful! I'd almost forgotten what the sky looks like without big grey clouds. Today I wore one of my favourite combinations - tights (x2!), boots, tunic and scarf. It's like my favourite outfit equation! [...]
Keeping warm in winter
I have a love/hate relationship with Winter... I love how it looks - the beautiful grey skies, drizzly rain, big clear days where you can see all the spiny winter branches and Autumn's old leaves disappearing slowly from the ground. But, I hate how it feels - cold. Boo! There are a few tricks I've [...]
Pretty polish: Burgundy is the new black
In the winter I love to wear deep dark reds, purples and burgundies. They're my vampy version of the good old black polish I guess. Here's four of my favourite little manicures of late. These are shots I've taken with my phone for Instagram. Top left - OPI Midnight in Moscow with a touch of [...]
What I’m wearing today
My man and I got married this year and we moved into our new little place just after that. I'm such a procrastinator but I used the big move as a reason to sort through my clothes and chuck a whole lot out. This meant I said goodbye to lots of my winter wardrobe.Over the [...]
My winter skin savers
The good old irony of winter seems to be that you're either freezing your nuggets off or getting slowly baked crispy by heaters. This annoys me. I already have an aversion to feeling crackly due my already-dry skin but winter... winter, you're a butthead in this department. To combat the evils of blistery cold mornings [...]
