Gone furniture shopping… 🛋️

Just kidding, just snaps from a visit to the ever inspiring @agsa.adelaide, which showcases this stunning @jongoulder chaise (+ @broached_commissions + @lizwilliamsonweaver) and my uncle @khailiew’s beautiful sculptural pieces (swipe left). Love the mix of old and new, chinoiserie, shapes, colours and textures. If we were to pretend this were a shop, what would you buy? I’d have one of everything please and thank you.

They call me the pony whisperer 🥰.

Had so much fun styling some fun Spring Carnival looks with @binnywear, including her gorgeous Cup dress here, in all its gorgeous linen glory and puffy sleeves 💕. Perfectly paired with millinery from the super lovely and talented @sylvyearl’s (her work is just divine). And how precious is this pony, he had the most beautiful blue eyes, and was the sweetest thing ever! 😍 #allinadayswork (hashtag blessed 😇 ).

For those, who like me, are not a fan of powders, I was so excited when @gucciwestman described her new @westmanatelier Vital Pressed Skincare powder as the “(…) powder for people who hate powder.” That me! 🤚🏻

It has an ultra-feathery formula packed with micro-milled skincare actives like Vitamin C, for antioxidant protection, probiotics (strengthen skin barrier) & quinoa seed extract (to retexturize skin and minimize pores). It sweeps away shine but keeps your radiance; it blurs the appearance of pores and is said to improve skin quality over time (skincare meets makeup).

I love Translucent for an invisible veil (5th pic), Pink Bubble for a subtly brightening effect (1st pic) and Crème for a smidge more coverage than Translucent (3rd pic), there are two deeper shades: Cafe and Dune (in 2nd pic group shot).

As I love to layer on my skincare before makeup, I have been loving these powders on the area between my nose and cheeks, where I notice my pores more, also lightly dusting it on the area between my brows, to ensure any lines are not accentuated. It is feather light and I cannot feel it at all, my skin looks like skin, healthy, radiant skin still.

As a huge fan of the “no makeup makeup look”, love this “not powder powder” 🥰.

What about you, do you use powder in your makeup routine?

Ps. For those in Australia, I saw these will launch @mecca in August (had a few DM’s so thought I’d preempt some here) ☺️)

Some BTS of WIP. 🤫

Besides work, had my kids double birthday (they share the same birthday but were born two years apart), but we’ve had three separate celebrations, yesterday being the one with their party with their friends, and boy was my battery flat after that! 🫣

What have you been up to?

Ps. I don’t drink Coke but will wear it 🤭

Successful mothers are not the ones that have never struggled, they are the ones that never give up, despite the struggles. May we never give up 🙏🏻.

Ps. First discovered @yayoikusama_ ‘s work 20 + years ago in Washington DC and was instantly made a fan, it was such a delight sharing my love for her work with my littles @agsa.adelaide 🎃. Are you a fan of her work? (at Art Gallery of South Australia)

Postcards from my recent trip to Sydney to experience @hermes’ Plein Air (Open Air). The new range of 5 complexion products (including a goat hair powder brush and the cutest blotting papers, is a beautiful breath of fresh air. Can’t get enough of their Conplexion Balm (which comes in 12 very flexible shades and SPF 30 - I was matched to shade 40 but could also wear 50 ). Love applying it with my fingers as recommended by Hermès Beauty Creative Director and incredible makeup artist @gregoris (swipe right to see him in action) 👉🏻.

Ps. Also picked up a little something for myself while I was in store, and have been so busy since getting back, I haven’t unboxed it yet! Should I do a little unboxing vid? (at Hermès)

#tbt as I wonder whether I should break my sabbatical from Australian Fashion Week (it’s been so many years since my last one).

📷 by super fly @yourensemble (I can’t get over the reflection on both cars, anyone else?).

🇺🇦 label @chakshyn worn here (I just realized I wore Ukrainian labels three years in a row at fashion week).

My heart weighs heavy for the People of Ukraine 💔😔.

As some of you may know (especially those in my Facebook beauty group), I cannot get enough of @herbalfacefood ‘s serums (I use serum III and The Cure), and now I finally got my hands on their The Cure X soap, which like it’s serum counterparts, is incredibly antioxidant, anti viral, anti bacterial, healing and hydrating. The soap, as well as the rest of the line addresses acne, rosacea, eczema, melisma, extreme sun damage, deep wrinkles, moles/skin tags, dermatitis and more, with its incredible anti inflammatory properties. The soap’s first ingredient is Manuka honey, so it’s incredibly nourishing and hydrating too. Obviously, this “soap” is soap free, and can be used on the face and all over the body, wherever you seek healing and protection really. It’s for when you need something seriously powerful, and is jam packed with 59 of the world’s most powerful botanicals which gives this soap its vibrant red colour, just like my beloved fiery serums.

You can see more on the line in my @herbalfacefood Reels Highlight, and if you’re keen to try any of the products, you can use my code CLARICE to save 20% off. Any questions? Please feel free to drop them 👇🏻 (or DM me).

Influenced myself 🙈. Caved and bought this sweet @binnywear rugby top with embroidered lemons under the collar (it’s all in the details 🍋). Bonus: it was half off! @binnywear ‘s summer collection is on sale and I highly recommend running, not walking 🏃🏻‍♀️! You can see more of the collection in my Reels. 🥰 #brigsdoesbinny

Ps. How would you wear this top? 💛

It is 100% ok to be feeling every emotion right now:

• heartbroken for the state of the world (including but not limited to Ukraine 💔)
• thankful for what you have
• guilt for carrying on living as normal
• scared of what the future may hold
• overwhelmed from feeling it all at once

But I am above all hopeful, because paraphrasing Michelle Obama: “The future of our world is only as bright as the future of our future women”.

In need of a breath of fresh air?

With a palette inspired by an artist’s garden filled with light and water, @hermes’ new refillable and limited edition Spring/Summer 2022 shades reference white water lilies and lotus flowers, and has a melting texture that provides a luminous, lightweight, and translucent finish similar to a delicately tinted veil of light on the lips. So fresh, playful and beautiful!

In order of appearance:

Orange Capucine is a luminous and sparkling rosy orange.

Rose Nymphéa is a delicate pink, enhanced with a subtle hint of lilac.

Beige d'Eau is a soft and translucent sunny beige.

Which one(s) would you pick?

Pulled these babies out for a special shoot, can’t wait to share more 🥰. They are old enough to legally drink 😳. Yep.
