Slip On

There is no denying my love for loafers, initially a man's customary footwear has conveniently taken over our shoe world having been featured on celebrities such as the Olsen twins, Poppy Delevingne, Miranda Kerr amongst many others. A simple, elegant slip on
(socks or no socks) that is conveniently offered in a variety of patterns, textures, colours and shapes to suit virtually any outfit.

Need I say more?!





























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).

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.






Vintage Cool

Sometimes dressing carelessly can come out looking vintage cool, especially when heading out to Melbourne's prominent coffee-lovers area of Ripponlea. In this part of town - mixing patterns is the aim of the game. Embrace the untidy with a plaid shirt, half tucked in, patterned loafers, a touch of confidence and voila!

Boyish

It could merely be that I have been closely following The Man Repeller blog or that I am preparing to style a men's editorial shoot, either way - I am certainly inspired to dress in a boyish manner today.
And really, what's not to love? The low crutch pants, flat loafers and cotton shirt attire is tailored perfectly to my needs today - a comfortable outfit I can run around in and yet remain professional looking with a touch of rebellion (hence the messy hair!).

Mixing patterns is a new challenge of mine. This trend is easy to get right, very easy to get wrong.
I suggest to look out for a mutual colour that will collaborate the pieces, as well as adding a bit of monochrome (so black, white or both) to provide bait of consistency with what you would normally wear. As a beginner, you don't want to project something that is too 'out there crazy', at the end of the day you still want to project your own identity through the clothes.

The Leather Edit

Over the past couple of years leather has certainly made a big comeback and looks like its here to stay. Hence, if you haven't already, it will be wise to invest in a few pieces. As shown it is easy to mix and match with both garments and accessories to add that bit of edge and sophistication to your everyday look.
The three essential leathers that can be worn in-between-seasons (got to love Melbourne weather) that you need to consider adding to your closet are croc, soft and shiny leather. 

Add a finishing touch to your outfits by adding a hint of leather either one at a time or combined!
