Vitality

The new Autumn / Winter campaign from Burberry featuring top british models including Cara Delevigne, Malaika Firth and Tarun Niijer is absolutely mesmerising!
The use of colours, patterns, embellishments and all around flowy, light as a feather feel, makes me want to give Burberry my life savings.

Commonly, winter is the time of the year when society tends to wear blacks, greys and other dark tones. This campaign positively influences the use of colour, both earthy and pastel, and further proves that in fact we can project vitality throughout the gloomy, stormy weather.

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.






Cover Up

Cover Up






Winter certainly diminishes the opportunity to jewel up an outfit when it comes to fine necklaces, earrings and bracelets. Luckily my solution to this deficit is to nominate a stylish hat as the standout accessory - the fedora!

My love for beanies (as previously seen..) only grows each winter, however at times I also feel like switching the hipster, laid back look into something more sophisticated - that's where the fedora fits in perfectly. Especially on bad hair days, it can be worn with your hair down, in a low aesthetic bun, in a messy french pleat etc etc.. and always provides this sense of volume.

Whilst black is a predominant choice as it would compliment most outfits, you'll be surprised how much brown, red and grey add to the overall look.



Here's your kick start to how to wear these babies:









Printed Denim


Free People shirt, Topshop jeans, Witchery belt & heels, Kenneth Jay Lane necklace, Roger David beanie



At last, a day with no rain (well, for now). Last week my attire had mainly consisted of chunky knits and big coats so you could imagine my excitement being able to wear a shirt for a change. 
I love the boho print of this Free People top, it has this Isabel Marant subtleness - and is not your average denim shirt. The Witchery heels have not left my feet in over a week. Height, I believe, always adds to the slim appearance and superior feel so its a definite go for me. Nonetheless slouchy beanies are my number 1 this winter - always here to save a bad hair day and add a touch of hipster to your look!

Keeping Warm




T by Alexander Wang top, Sportsgirl leggings & flats, Clare Vivier Clutch, Kookai scarf


Got to love snuggly day-wear such as this thick scarf from Kookai on a cold Melbourne day, a piece which never disappoints as it is not only great at keeping me warm but also compliments many other staples in my wardrobe. 

It may seem surprising but I find that warm / cold wardrobe colour palettes impact the way you feel and therefore in winter I often choose to wear more vibrant lively colours as oppose to the blues and greens.

Overall this is a good way to up-do a casual outfit - replace your jersey leggings with leather or leather like material, put away the monotone flats and get some pattern / vivid coloured ones and add on a staple scarf and clutch whose colour can match various other colours in your wardrobe (my suggestion: either earthy or your blacks/whites/greys).
