Totes Nice

Have you noticed how in the last few years tote bags have become COOL? Pretty much a staple for me (especially on the weekends when I like to bounce from one market to another!)   

No. 1
THE BEACH PEOPLE win my heart every time. Their first product launch saw the "roundie" towels have every success globally, but I can't get enough of their tote bags either. This is my absolute go-to and I use it ALL the time.

THREE FOLD STUDIO make the most gorgeous hand-made product. A Melbourne brand that is sure to be on the rise.

RIEGEL GOODS COMPANY is a gorgeous etsy brand. They make their wears in many colours, but I like this mix of fluro and natural (life's about balance, right!?)

UASHMAMA uses washable paper and truly makes my heart swoon. I could happily buy one of EVERYTHING in this store. I bought a friend's birthday present there recently and took about an hour in-store trying to decide which piece I loved the best. So. Good. Looooove their rose gold stuff especially.

Nice Signature Scent

Lately, I've been feeling a bit nostalgic and have been reminiscing about the past. It's funny how a fragrance can instantly remind you of a past friend, boyfriend, holiday or time. Do you wear the same perfume all year long, or do you change with the seasons, or your mood? I change with all of the above, as well as for any drool-worthy packaging. Feel free to judge me.   ; )  

No. 1
STELLA McCARTNEY obviously bears no introduction. I initially bought this because I was in love with the packaging, but it soon became my Winter go-to. I stock up on the rollerball every time I'm at the airport, too.

ISSEY MIYAKE knows the way to a girl's heart. I may or may not have fallen in love with this due to their campaign. L-O-V-E.

CALVIN KLEIN makes Summer smell like Summer. Love that their scents are unisex. This year it was inspired by a Summer adventure in the jungle... Refreshing, rebellious and citrus. COME BACK SUMMER!

ELIE SAAB is always on my dresser. I'm all about fresh scents and it's my absolute staple. But it's floral and not too citrusy. Yes.

Nice Lacey Secrets

Fact: When you're wearing sexy underwear, the rest of your life falls into place (right?) It makes you stand taller, walk more confidently, make better decisions and win more of life's games... One of the things I like about Winter is that chunky knits and layers make it easier wear more sheer & delicate bras.

KIT & ACE never does anything wrong. That shape. That copper front clasp (quicker to dress AND undress). SWOON.

Nice Kicks

One of the many reasons that I love building my own business (and not working in the corporate world!) is that I can wear kicks more often. My top four include fun with polka-dots, unexpected soft tones, touches of rose gold, and gorgeous minimal greys.
