London Fall Fashion Week 2018

Well that month flew by pretty quickly! I finished up my full-time job in Social Media Management last month and the same night I flew straight into London. Two overweight suitcases later, I arrived at Fashion Week. Then the challenge began to style my looks for the week with no breathing time from leaving the office onto the plane! 



Packing was not easy. I had to consider at least one look to photograph a day not only at LFW but also PFW. Minus temperatures sure look great in pictures, but let me assure you that packing multiple jackets and coats also meant that both my suitcases actually burst and broke by the time I made it back to Aus. Bring on Summer Fashion Weeks and no excess baggage fees! 



Tailoring was a large part of my London wardrobe. The main items I packed were trouser and skirt suits, multiple blazers, and statement jackets. The below zero temperatures made layering all that more fun, but my hands hated me for not remembering gloves - epic fail when you rely on a remote control to take your photos and you can’t keep your hands warm! I would have been lost without my Tularosa teddy coat from Revolve. It seriously got me through the cold. 






There were many trends I picked up on for Fall which I’ll be touching upon in the coming weeks so keep an eye out for that! Today’s focus is what I wore each day in London. Surprisingly a lot of the looks can be recreated day to day.

Date Night Inspo - Paris Edition

Bonjour from the city of love! I must say, it feels like I have been in Paris forever, and it’s only been 9 days! Fashion weeks in London and Paris have come to a close, and I’m sure there are many Insta hubbies feeling a little left out whilst business comes first for us females functioning thanks to cafe au laits. What better way to celebrate the busy period than my three favourite date night looks in collaboration with Order of Style.



You may remember my denim post back last year (you can view it here). My mind is still made up when it comes to this Melbourne boutique having the best selection of denim. Today’s favourites are from Frame and Paige. Both crop flares are just so soft and hug in all the right places. So what to wear on date night in Paris?


Dinner near the Eiffel Tower followed by a romantic walk along the Seine

I’ve always been the type of girl that makes jeans work in any situation. I’m that friend that has to be told ‘It’s not quite a jeans venue'. I’ve always been under the assumption add a dressy top and red lippy - you’re good to go! Adore the sleeve detailing on this Rebecca Taylor number, not to mention the intricate design. The small pearl touch on the jeans converts this look to chic. 

FACT: Every night, every hour on the hour, the tower is covered in golden lights that sparkle for five whole minutes while the Eiffel Tower’s beam lights up the city. It's a must see! 







 Drinks in the city 

You’ll need a cute dress ladies, especially if you’re planning a night at Hotel Costes. It’s the perfect place to people watch and pull inspo from super stylish females. Sheer tights were a must. Some nights were dropping to minus six, so this silky blazer was a light layer of warmth whilst not looking too heavy. 










Sunset in Montmarte 

Uber/metro to Anvers station and make your way up any winding cobbled street towards the direction of The Sacre Cour. There are tonnes of cute cafes, galleries and artists on the way. I probably failed wearing heels, but at least they weren’t stilettos! Dad sneakers would look just as cool with this look. I love the oversized, boxy fit on this J Brand denim jacket. The sleeves are nice and roomy so good for a knit underneath on colder nights. My pet hate is when you have a cute coat/jacket that have really fitted sleeves and your arms look all bunched! You won’t have this issue here. I added a beret for that extra French feel. 





I hope you’ve enjoyed my taste of Paris post, you just need to get your man to book you both a ticket now! FYI - Order of Style have 10% off your first order when you sign up to their newsletter online. (MORE PER DIEM FOR WINE/CROISSANTS & COFFEE!)

Invest In Denim

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it…. Invest in good denim ladies! If you’re anything like me, a quarter if your wardrobe is occupied with a variety of washes. I have never owned so many jean shorts since moving to Australia, but this season was all about culling the pairs that just aren’t doing do it for me anymore. I want a pair of shorts that are going to stay rigid to the eye, but comfortably fit in all the right places. 


I have to admit, I’m becoming a little snobby when it comes to this particular section of my wardrobe. It’s a fabric that’s a STAPLE all year round, and I’m all about ‘real’ denim which will last year on year. The one piece I have been loving this season is the cropped denim jacket. It’s a cute take on the classic 80’s layer, and a nice change up to the oversized Boyfriend style which is more suited for day in day out. I’m open to the Canadian tuxedo - I actually wore blue denim shorts and this jacket featured today (aka double denim styling), but last weekend the button up flares won. The look was styled back with a cotton white tee and my super extra Gucci’s - because its time to show these babies some lovin’ again - only on non rainy days! 



So I guess my message today is take time trying on all your jeans and denim pieces you've had a while. Do they wash well? Do you feel amazing in them? Are they a style which will see you through to next season? If you are umming and arring it’s time to give them up and shop around to find brands that love your body. For me, that’s GRLFRND Denim, and has been for the last six months. 

Revolve currently have up to and free express shipping to Aus until the 16th November. Trust me, there are lots of classic cuts and trend denim pieces on sale! Don’t miss out!

Why I Can’t Let Go Of Good Denim

Last weekend, I sorted through my closet to make way for a new season. Because let’s be honest, here in Australia it’s a sensible time to start thinking about spring. As much as I love to cull, I really struggle with shifting denim. It’s the one category that I can justify spending money on. Why? I wear denim every single day. There’s two fits that I’m drawn to this season:

1.The Boyfriend Crop Jean

2. The Kick Flare













These 2 styles probably take up 70% of my jean collection. Today’s denim of choice are from Melbourne boutique, Order Of Style. The boyfriend crop is high waisted (a must for anyone with a small waist) and is a roomy in the leg. They are flattering - tight in all the right places and look fab with a heel. If you’re on the shorter side like me, the added height will really elongate you.

My second jean of choice would be the kick flare. It’s my first pair of fresh white jeans of the season, they are a must for spring in Australia! Love the added detail of the step hem. Dress them up with a pair of open toe stilettos or for a laid back weekend vibe add a pair of trusty Connies.

You can’t go wrong with jeans and a tee. Is anyone else finding themselves wearing this combo on a night out? The trick is to style with gold jewellery (my favourites at the moment are my Reliqua pair), add a heel and rock a red lip. I guarantee this won’t look as casual as you might think. Try it!

The Blouse You Can’t Ignore This Summer

Warm tones and peek a boo blouses - sounds like summer is on it’s way. I think it’s safe to say that the coldest of winter is over. Us lucky ones in Sydney have been teased with 26 degree days in August and our Instagram feeds are begging us to consider spending an Aussie winter in Europe. Yes, I was tempted to pack my bags for eight weeks to say the least. 


The tie front blouse is the new button up, but for the more daring. I think the only way to rock this is with denim or wide legged pants. It’s definitely the perfect style for the smaller of cup sized ladies amongst us (wishing I could join that club already) but until then, I will settle for a lace bralette and delicate gold jewellery. 







Once my six pack gets here, I’ll brave this style with low slung denim shorts. Wish me luck!

Post Christmas Sales

A quick hello from Perth! I am finally getting over the food coma and enjoying a slower place a bit too much, could seriously get used to sleep ins and days at the beach. Yesterday Chris and I ventured over to Rottnest Island, which is 45 minutes from Perth. Did you check out my Insta stories? It was a day filled with multiple beaches, snorkelling and a scraped leg from coral. Time over this side always trickles away too fast, and tomorrow we are flying over to Port Douglas to have some down time and to finally tick a new part of Australia from my to see list.











In the meantime, I’m hitting up the Boxing Day sales from the comfort of my balcony! Revolve are having up 50% off for their Holiday Hangover Sale, and you can pick up some of today’s pieces in the sale. What bargains will you be looking for? I like to make sure I’m buying the staples so denim is high up on my shopping list, possibly some oversized tees for casual days.

Happy Shopping!
