Winter Style


As the title suggests, hibernation season has arrived at our shores and that means it is time to start thinking about revamping our wardrobes. Seeing as we (obviously) like to keep warm and are going to wear the thickest sweaters and high ankle boots, I thought I would offer a few other options to hype up your winter outfits (whilst sticking to a core colour code, which will go along with almost anything).




Friend of Mine leather pants, Seed Heritage loafers and scarf, Harpers Bazaar Fashion book, Bailey Nelson glasses, Lovisa cuff, MOR Cosmetics moisturiser 



Leather pants 

the number one essential to looking chic whilst keeping warm. It is the understated garment that keeps coming back into fashion and can work its magic whether you're sporting a sweater, oversized coat, or even an over layered skirt (if Vogue's Christine Centenera can pull it off - so can you!)

Loafers 

the most comfortable, still feel like you're in your pyjamas, boyish looking, Olsen Twins style shoes. I am utterly obsessed! This is great for those days it doesn't rain or if you're heading to a casual dinner.

Scarf 

investing in a thick, knitted scarf will go a long way. If you stick to neutral colours it will go along with anything.

Books 

there will come a time when it is too cold to leave the house and on those days you are going to want to have something to do, so why not educate yourself with a style book?! Prepare for the next season to come and stay stylish in winter too.

Glasses 

seeing as the majority of our bodies are going to be covered, why not find a chic pair of glasses to stand out from the crowd. Bailey Nelson has really affordable cool frames that come in a variety of shapes and colours - its worth checking out!

Cuffs 

supporting the glasses argument, unless you're planning on wearing a statement necklace or earrings - cuffs are your best bet for not overdoing the look. Pop them on top of your sweater or long sleeve tops' cuffs and voila!

Moisturiser 

winter also appears to be the time of the year when we drink less water so keeping one of these tubes in your bag should do the trick.






Tarzan Chic


T by Alexander Wang tee, Friend of Mine Skirt, Sportsgirl sandals, Kookai fedora, Zara belt, Asos cuff


Light weight. Silk. Breezy. Embellished. Western influence. Tarzan chic.

Accessorise


Friend of Mine tank, Zara belt & shorts, Topshop sandals, Ray-Ban sunglasses



Lesson #101: don't underestimate the power of accessories.

Small details can become quite significant in providing an edgier look to your outfit, in this case - a western looking belt and polarised sunglasses are my everyday essentials this summer!


BLK WHT





Friend of Mine tank, Neon Hart skirt, Senso shoes, Asos cuff


An everyday outfit with a twist. 
As you may have already realised I love printed tanks so it is no surprise that when I saw this Friend of Mine 'Mick Jagger' top I could not resist. The skirt is from General Pants' brand Neon Hart which consists of both suit pants material and leather with an imperfect cut and room for movement. As usual I am sporting my Clare Vivier clutch, Senso heels and Ray Bans - my true loves for accessories.

Preparation


Ray-Ban sunglasses, Asos cuff, Clare Vivier clutch, Friend of Mine tank

Almost Famous


Sportsgirl jacket and leggings, Friend of Mine leather vest (worn underneath jacket), Topshop boots, Rayban sunglasses


Just another casual day at the Friend of Mine office, combining comfort + 'Almost Famous' type of look was exactly what I was looking for!

Friend of Mine Cadillac Blazer, Helmut Lang Skirt, Sportsgirl top & heels, Lovisa necklace, Samantha Wills ring, Yves Saint Laurent clutch


Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Loreal Melbourne Fashion Week alongside my bestie Eddie New to watch the independent designers' show. I love seeing the up and coming talents as they often have a fresh view of fashion and the looks are more urban than high fashion. Nonetheless, I find that the established brands' shows mainly consist of garments that are already available in stores and therefore do not offer anything new for people who are fashion trends aware. My favorite designers from the night were One Fell Swoofs and Strateas Carlucci.

As for my outfit, I decided to keep it elegant and wore this Friend of Mine blazer which I absolutely adore due to its differentiated length - It provides a slimmer appearance and is a true classic in my eyes! Helmut Lang skirts always do it for me in terms of edginess. Finally, I knew it would be a night where lots of walking around is required so i had to go comfortable and these Sportsgirl babies have never disappointed, looks and comfort wise!

Photos from the show will be up soon, until then here are a couple more shots of the outfit:








Casually Hanging..





Watson X Watson jacket, T by Alexander Wang tank, Friend of Mine pants, Asos beanie & cuff, Ray-Ban Sunglasses

My talented bestie, who by chance is a fashion photographer, Eddie New was kind enough to photograph me the other day at the Chadstone Shopping parking lot prior to shopping.

Cannot get enough of this jacket, its vividness ensures it is always a stand out piece. Nonetheless, it appeared to have perfectly matched my new mirrored Ray-Bans! Success!

Movie Night

With Melbourne almost exploding with heat, you're probably thinking - what is she doing wearing a blazer?!

Well my fellow fashionistas, let me assure you that this Cadillac blazer from Friend of Mine is 'breathable' as they say, as it is made of silk (plus is gets super cold at the movies - so you cannot blame me for that!). Also I love the length - it is slightly longer than your average blazer which provides the body with a slimmer appearance at the same time as being able to wear your oversized tops without it having to pop underneath the blazer looking funny. 

Overall my thought process was to provide a casual outfit with a professional-look twist (the glasses have an effect too no?) and this new blazer of mine was the perfect choice! 



Pop Out Red



Friend of Mine dress, Nordic Fusion sandals, Clare Vivier clutch, Asos cuff, Supre belt, Ray-Ban sunglasses


Finally another post you must think.. I've been having a super busy schedule recently with work / interning and since its a long weekend I found some time to show you my latest (very out there with the colour) purchase.

FYI my closet mainly consists of basics and garments ranging within the palette of black / grey / white, so wearing this pop out red dress was a new experience.

This cute little mini dress by fashion label 'Friend of Mine' (which is also where i am interning at the moment) was my first choice on this hot day in Melbourne.. Not that I'm complaining!
