Have you ever wondered exactly how to do 1960s makeup? I’ll admit – I have! Something about that sweep of dark eye makeup set against a seemingly bare backdrop does it for me. I’ve already mentioned my love of Brigette Bardot, not to mention my massive girl crush on the equally stylish Edie Sedgwick and [...]
Today you can find me guest blogging over at Here Comes the Sun. I’m sharing how to do a Heidi twist – which is a fun (and simple!) alternative to the classic Heidi Braids. There aren’t terribly many New Zealand bloggers out there, so it is super wonderful to be a contributor to one of [...]
Isn’t it annoying how things in your wardrobe suddenly become boring? Trust me, I know the feeling. If you were to read below you’ll see that I’ve devised a super simple way of dealing with it..

Meow! So, I have some exciiiiting news to share! Well, firstly shall I tell you about my fancy footwear? You see the pretty little kitty cats? I made them myself!

A Guide to Vintage Shopping! One of the questions I’m asked most often is how to shop in thrift stores. Well, it really is easy-peasy! It can feel like a massive change, swapping from chain stores to vintage – but it sure can be worth it. You never know quite what to expect, or what [...]
Tips & A Bit of a Guide! I’m sure you’re well aware that I adore my Holga. It joins me on almost every single one of my adventures – I love it so much! Even when I don’t use it for taking photographs, I just enjoy looking through it; seeing the world as a square [...]
A Strawberry & Yoghurt DIY! Here is another of my favourite all-natural beauty recipes! This facial treatment is solely strawberry based, which is wonderful for dealing with spots and blemishes.
