my winter skin savers

Over the past month or so, I have had to crank my skincare up a notch and have been following a very strict regime. Why, you ask? Because Winter plays havoc with skin. Heating, cold winds and not enough sunlight, makes anyone's skin look pale, dehydrated and lack-lustre. So in this blog post, I am going to share with you my secret to getting healthy looking, radiant skin, which is perfectly hydrated throughout the harsh Winter months.

First and foremost, I use the best skincare that I can possibly afford, which happens to be La Mer. If you choose the right products, and, believe me, I have tried pretty much every brand-low and high-end, your skin will thank you for it. I choose to invest in my skin, because, after all, you only get one skin and, given that it is the largest organ of the body, I can justify the expense. 


Consistently following the four steps to great skin-every morning and evening (cleanse, tone, apply serum & moisturise) leaves my skin in tip-top condition each and every day. In conjunction to this, once a week, I use a gentle exfoliant and a hydrating mask.




Add to this routine, my Clarisonic and what you get is perfectly toned, hydrated and radiant skin. Prior to purchasing it, I had heard rave reviews about this sonic cleansing system on the Internet and YouTube. Putting it bluntly, I thought it was all a load of codswallop, but it turns out everyone who had raved about it, was absolutely spot on! The clarisonic is AMAZING! The honest truth is that I simply cannot live without it. Amongst the other benefits I have noticed, my skincare is better absorbed now which has made a HUGE difference to how my skin looks. I'll do a more comprehensive post on this soon, so look out for that in the next couple of weeks.  



My other tip for beautiful Winter skin is using a hydrating foundation. Regardless of what type of skin you have, we all need our skin to be hydrated throughout the day. My top choice is Chanel Vitalumiere in shade #10 Limpide (suitable for dry skins-if you're oily try Vitalumiere Aqua.) It's the perfect shade for my pale Winter skin. I just love it!



I combine these things with a healthy diet (everything in moderation, of course!) and I try to drink lots of water to hydrate my cells on the inside too.

Until next time, take care! Enjoy the rest of the weekend. After a two week break , I'm back at work on Monday. Time flies when you're having fun!

Stay stylishly happy!

Yours in style,

gelati in the gardens

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!  For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette. Check out

I love miu mui

My absolute favourite international designer has to be mui mui . I find myself falling in love again and again, with each new season collection. Muiccia Prada's label is fun, feminine and fabulous!  We're really lucky to have a mui mui store in Melbourne actually. For anyone who has ever been to Chadstone Shopping Centre, you would know it is the fashion Mecca for anyone looking for high-end designer clothing and accessories. Every single time I go to Chadstone, without fail, I pay a special visit to mui mui. I know mui mui garments, shoes, and accessories are on the more expensive side, but a girl can dream right? There's just something extremely appealing to me that keeps me coming back season after season. Now to save up for a piece to call my own some day...            Do you have a high-end international designer who you really enjoy? Who is it and what makes them so appealing to you? Enjoy t

sandy liang fall/winter '22

It's been some time between posts as I have been waiting for something to inspire me. So when one of my favourite designers, Sandy Liang, released the look book from her new Fall/Winter '22 collection, I was so excited, that I decided to edit these looks into ten of my favourites. Sandy Liang stays true to her aesthetic each season. Like previous collections, there are hints of Marie Antoinette and Ballet. The way Sandy Liang fuses the two together is amazing. I am drawn to anything to do with ballet, so, of course, I love this collection! My favourite pieces are the cotton dresses with bow detailing, the trench coat dress, camel corduroy skirt pants and layered knitwear. So wearable, but whimsical in a very grown-up kind of way. Pure genius! Can't wait for the collection to land in Australia. Which are your favourites? Yours in style,  Suzi x Photos by  @zorasicher  c/o Sandy Liang NY
