camouflaged sequins

Nothing is more fun than wearing camouflage with something

ostentatious, like this Aje sequinned skirt, and a classic YSL clutch,

stolen from your my mother's closet.

I had initially toyed with the idea of wearing a Little Black Dress/Jacket

since I was going to see the Chanel Exhibition. But surely even Mlle Chanel

wouldn't say no to some camouflage. After all, she did always find

inspiration in military wear.

all wrapped up

t by alexander wang skirt // country road shirt (seen here) // topshop sneakers (seen here) // karen walker sunglasses (seen here & here) // Alexander Wang spiral clutch

an outfit whipped up in 3 minutes on a lazy sunday (so lazy 
that it even foregoes the capital 's' treatment)
due to two parts running late and mainly one part
drinking too much the night before. The clutch was a remnant
of the previous night's outfit and since it already housed all
my essentials, it only made sense to not change bags. 
I love finding old pieces in your wardrobe (circa 2010 
is positively ancient in fashion, non?) that still blend right into

your current aesthetic. Why do I need a leather doggy bag (via. jil sander)

when I have a notebook that masquarades as a clutch? 

Insta-geek-chic.

There's nothing better than relaxing by the beach on a sunny day,
until the sun starts playing hide'n'seek in the clouds. 
But then, it's a whole different feel which doesn't take away from 
the amazing view. Nothing says summer like denim shorts and 
oversized shirts with lace paneling.

jacaranda blooms

One of the best things about spring in Sydney is the abundance of

jacaranda trees everywhere you go. So when I saw this giant patch of

purple at Paddington, I couldn't resist jumping down to take photos.

This Ellery skirt proved to be the bane of my existence that day.

It will most likely be the first and only time I deal with

peplum in such an exaggerated manner. As much as I like the 

mock shirt-tail bottom, when I get wrinkled- it ain't pretty. 

But with a casual grey tee, it's the perfect blend of casual chic

and office wear.

I don't normally do teasers but here's a little preview of an upcoming

post. Everything is a bit delayed at the moment, I have the most hectic few

days coming up and so this will have to do for now.

As you're reading this, I will hopefully be tanning at Palm Beach.
