On Judgement and Golden Gaytimes

Jenna Maurer Leave a Comment

  As many of you may already be aware, TopShop has recently been hosting a Golden Gaytime Crumb Shed pop up. If you didn’t get a chance to go, I can safely say it was so delicious that I would have contemplated another trip up to Sydney purely for another custom made Gaytime. It was doubly exciting for me because ice cream is my favourite food, and to top it off Golden Gaytimes are always one of my top picks. As I was leaving TopShop I came face to face with something that, for a brief moment, kind of killed… Continue Reading →

Microblading with Brow’ed Transformations

Tina Andrews 1 Comment

  Brows. My favourite beauty topic. Some are thick, some are thin, many are offensive. When it comes to brows, we’ve heard it all: they frame the face, brows are sisters not twins, and tadpoles belong in ponds; okay well, I made that last one up but I firmly believe I make a good point, don’t you agree? Brow grooming has really come a long way since the days of waxing by using home methods involving mixing the correct ratios of honey, sugar, and water with lemon. Tweezing is still a firm favourite for makeup artists because of its precision.… Continue Reading →

The Modern Girl’s Career Guide to Fear

Kim Vella Leave a Comment

  ‘Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.’ Marie Curie   We all have blind spots. One of the biggest is how fear impacts us and drives a wedge between our intentions and our impact. I don’t believe any of us intend to be judgemental, disconnected, insensitive, or achieve less than our full potential. But we can be and we are despite our best intentions, despite our best intentions. When we are fearful, we lack the capacity to turn off our judgement, allow ourselves to connect and be sensitive to other people’s perspectives. I… Continue Reading →

Fashion and Gender Flexibility

Esther Packard Hill Leave a Comment

  “A woman shall not wear man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God” (Deuteronomy 22:5)   The Bible is pretty unambiguous when it comes to delineating how men and women should dress – men should dress like men; women should dress like women. The fashion world, however, is increasingly encouraging the opposite. Particularly in avant-garde and haute couture spheres are designers playful and subversive in their understanding of “gender.” They query norms of masculinity and femininity as they undercut and parody expectations about… Continue Reading →

A Few of the Times I Got Dressed This Week

Layer City Dress: Country Road Skirt: Alexa Chung x AG Jeans Ring: Dior The Look: I am not sure why but on this day I felt compelled to wear a skirt over a dress. I blame Instagram. I don’t anyone at my day job appreciated this look (I got a few double takes) and my own mother questioned my decision, but hey I liked it. The Queen of Ruffles Top: Miu Miu Skirt: Country Road Shoes & Bag: Gucci The Look: This is one of my all time favourite shirts. It sat on my Net-a-Porter wishlist for months until it… Continue Reading →
