November has been a giant month over at FJ. We have been coming off the again of a busy Melbourne Fashion Week (M/FW) in late October and rolled proper right into a print deadline. I managed to sneak in every week between the chaos, biking round Gilli Air in Indonesia the place I virtually lived in my Deiji Studios items and Twoobs thongs. Knowing I get a lot put on out of light-weight items in heat climate, I bit the bullet and purchased a brand new pair of Deiji Studios pants as quickly as I received again.
I’m additionally loving large, chunky necklaces proper now. I’ve had this one from Vermeer Studios and this attractive pendant from Nuri Studios on my present rotation. I additionally managed to select up a pair whereas I used to be away (I’m envisioning turning one right into a belt…).
In between, I additionally popped into Mag Nation’s new CBD retailer (a wonderland for any print lover), Lani Mitchell’s new artwork exhibition at At the Above gallery, Bahama Gold for a post-work wine and I inhaled My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante.

November is my birthday month, so I’ve been leaning into slightly further indulgence. As I’m nonetheless constructing a Melbourne-ready wardrobe, I’ve develop into obsessive about the Suku Home Double Drawstring Pants within the excellent purple tone, and they’re size-inclusive. After recognizing Pleiosien’s equipment throughout M/FW, I’m additionally eyeing the navy blue Flower earrings to pair with post-beach curls and blushy cheeks.
I’ve been large on scent too, burning Gentle Habits’ Inner Den incense whereas studying or after a home clear. With leather-based, smoke and patchouli, it’s a comfy, sensual mood-setter. To high it off, I attended Bruxa’s Seduction of Self occasion for the launch of the Don Juan 1973 Body Oil. Infused with extremely uncommon pure oud, this pheromone-laced oil is genuinely addictive.

I just lately scored a pair of (pre-loved) Prada wedges from Goodbyes and the raffia sandal fashion feels very SJP at a summer season BBQ. As a tall girlie who doesn’t usually put on heels, I respect the soundness of a platform wedge, so I took benefit of the sale at DOF Studios and additionally purchased this ’90s impressed pair in black.
More than summer season BBQs, I’m excited that it’s formally ice cream climate. Melbourne has the perfect ice cream, hands-down (and that’s coming from a Kiwi). My present hyperfixation is a scoop of Salted Lemon Curd from Fluffy Torpedo – it tastes like these saltly lemon sandwich biscuits. Crunchy, creamy, zesty, excellent. I appreciated it a lot I purchased a take-home tub.

While on air, I’ve been spinning loads of ARIA nominated band, Folk Bitch Trio. I really like their debut album, Now Would Be A Good Time – it’s each melancholic and witty, which is the summer season vibe I’m attempting out this yr.
I don’t smoke however I carry a lighter all over the place as a result of I prefer to really feel included. I envision whipping this one out within the people who smoke and, for a millisecond, being the centre of consideration. It’s an unmatched buzz. On the theme of silver and consideration looking for, these glasses from Gentle Monster have my identify throughout them.
There are additionally so many gifted artists in Australia, and I’m determined to decorate my partitions with their work. Alice Ramsden’s ‘Dolour and delight’ or this piece by Camille Laddawan are positively on the high of my record.
