• Admirable Adornments

    Well its nearly here… the Holidays – and aren’t we thrilled? T-minus one week finds me scrambling for gift ideas that are a) useful, b) affordable and c) utterly fun. I have already disclosed my fail-safe party box-set of accessories and necessities, so now I thought I might share Camille K‘s Holiday Campaign (which coincidentally, ahem, features me).   Food for inspiring thought at …

  • Party Essentials

    It’s happened, we’re well and truly into holiday party mode. Can’t you feel the joy, the excitement of the impending and oh so embarrassing holiday-sweater-situation? Because I’m feeling generous (‘tis the season after all…) I thought I would put together a fail safe box-set of holiday accessories and necessities that will ensure every fiesta is festive.   …

  • Mr Essentialist ♥’s to Embellish

    Oh to embellish! We all do it from time to time – but now we can do it to our faces, and I’m all for that.  Being from New Zealand means being familiar with facial tattoos, or Tā moko – but these might be a bit too permanent for my liking. Enter Givenchy, and Riccardo Tisci’s facial hardware. The adornments …

    I’ve been living out of a suitcase for over a year (admittedly a big suitcase), but in my packing frenzy I never once doubted including a selection of bracelets. Besides the fact that they take up little room, I always know I will get good wear out of them. Worn solo or stacked together, they look great paired …

  • The Statement Watch

    As you may have noticed, I’m a sucker for a statement watch. There is something truly uplifting about wearing a substancial ticker, something hyper-masculine, maybe even energizing. And to top it all there are so many choices! We all know the benefits of rocking a Rolex, but what about something sportier? Glam Rock’s Sobe-Tech series is just …

  • Panthère de Cartier

    I‘ve heard it said that investing in signature Cartier pieces is akin to putting money in the bank (and on your finger, an obvious bonus!).  Sure I lust after the Love Bracelet, but my inner magpie really comes out when I see a great panther – remember?    The Panther Ring is the prime example of pavé perfection. A …

  • Lost in Time

    In an amazing stroke of luck, I have recently rediscovered my very first watch. Let me tell you nothing is more thrilling then finding something you were convinced was well and truly lost, and for a decade at least (vintage!). Sure its worthless, but thats not the point – is it?   I adore watches, (you may …
