lace & knit

L'america jumper | Lover the Label shorts (here) | Thakoon boots (here, here & here) | Celine sunglasses

There has been a definite cold snap in Sydney recently, and I've been dipping my toe in cold weather

dressing. So I paired some old favourites with my new-ish jumper from L'america, which I bought from

the recent Bondi Beach pop-up store. It's the perfect shade of maroon in the form of a jumper which 

truly embraced the trend of thigh-high splits - except higher up. Who doesn't enjoy some extra ventilation, 

especially all the more to show off your Lover lace shorts.

I really wish I was able to take a few more photos before my camera battery died on me, but that's what I get for not always

being prepared (thank god I never actually joined the boy scouts!). This white silk shirt which I picked up from Witchery is 

absolutely fantastic, the sleeves end halfway down my hand with a slight billowing effect which makes me feel like

a Romantic Poet (except without Lord Byron's rock star appeal). We all know my love for the Lover mystical shorts 
(on sale here) and I will use any excuse to wear these amazing velvet boots, even if its the middle of summer 
and the fact I don't really have an excuse.

floral party on my pants.

sabo skirt pants // bardot knit // american apparel clutch // thakoon boots

I decided to step outside my comfort zone by pairing my floral printed pants with another pattern, granted that it's only colour block but still a braver choice than my original white tee. I kind of regret oversizing on these pants, I don't quite remember why I did it but now I'm stuck with pants that sit way too low on my hips even with these heels. But I adore the print so I'm sticking it out!

velvety blue.

wearing: wrangler knit top, mng denim shirt, paper heart red skirt, thakoon boots, alexander wang bag

I've had this skirt hanging in my closet for the longest time but I never got around to wearing it. It was just so short and bright, and to be honest I didn't know how to wear it. But sometimes, it's the easiest choices that turn out right. I love the way the denim looks next to the bright red! I decided to tone down all the other colours of my outfit, bag included. 

Until I got to my shoes; granted, it's not a look at me colour, but it's navy velvet. It's one of those items that you have in your closet that you just want to sit and stroke (wow, that sounded a lot less weird in my head). I love the knot on the side, the pointy front and the chunky heel.

I'm sure some of you have realised, I have a new blog address. There's no deep and meaningful reason as to why, mostly just the fact that the old address felt not right. Sorry for the lack of explanation but hopefully a new site address would mean more posts and a new layout.
