MBFWA: Flared Sleeves & Layers

Checking in for a quick post from Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia. Today's look feels very Victoriana. I found my love for the pleated ruched sleeve in New York a couple of months back, and knew I had to revisit this trend for Fashion Week. I'm also experimenting with different layers coming into winter, and the first time I have worn a skirt over culottes. The silhouette is perfect, made extra special with a high pair of Mary Jane's from Senso and my Chloe Faye.

The Off Shoulder Blazer

One trend that stuck for all four fashion weeks was crisp tailoring and denim. Whether it be a bell sleeved white shirt paired with frayed jeans, or mom jeans styled with a power jacket, it was a big hitter throughout the street style pages of Elle and Vogue.

It’s fair to say I have a good collection of blazers, and todays one might be my new favourite. The cut is flattering, sitting just below the shoulders. I was tempted to wear a shirt underneath, but figured the jacket speaks for itself. Better to keep the styling simple, adding my new statement Chloe Faye bag, which I am totally in love with! As mentioned in my last post, ‘real’ denim has been an investment this season and after purchasing black mom jeans it was time to get a pair of washed denim.













Todays look was shot in Paddington, one of my favourite suburbs in Sydney. It’s probably the one of the most European-looking places and is perfect for my blazer/jean ensemble. 

In less than two months, Chris and I will be heading to Europe to catch up with friends and family in Italy. Whenever we plan holidays, I am always drawn to that side of the world even though I have so much to still see in Asia and South America. In the interim, I’ve been checking out Pinterest for European street style inspiration for upcoming shoots. I miss short trips to European cities from my home town, and if I was still there I’d be on the plane to Paris once a month with tripod in hand.

Hooray For Knit Season

Well…..I might be speaking too soon when I say it’s knitwear season! Sydney is supposed to be in autumn right now with the leaves turning orange and hot chocolate consumption on the rise. But instead, we are graced made to suffer with 30 degree days with the decision ‘most thirst quenching drink wins’. Seriously, I am a little disappointed. I am so eager to start layering properly again and I have already added some chunky knits to my wish list for the coming season. Until then, I will settle for the sleeveless knit, which is only really wearable on cooler evenings, hence shooting this post at sundown which makes a change for my usual brighter posts. 












Side detailing is a winner. This is what sold the jumper for me. It makes a nice change to the lace up trend that was common around the neck region last season. The high low style will look nice untucked with a good pair of jeans this season which I am on the hunt for! Another trend I am a fan of is the ring pull zipper. It’s such a good feature to any look, and especially liked the zip is the feature of this skirt. Pairs back well with the eyelets on the jumper. I have kept accessories to a minimum with a classic pair of Celine’s and a minimal black watch. The focus is all on the gold details and the gorgeous sunset.

Those Tan Tones

When choosing my outfits, I tend to stick to the following colours: black, white, tan and grey. There’s something so effortless about styling these colours together, and if the slightest pop of colour sneaks in into my wardrobe I just can’t figure out how it’s going to work. I’ve had a monochrome wardrobe for nearly 2 years and wouldn’t want it any other way. It makes your mornings easier and less fussy, because all your pieces match. It’s win win! Tan has been the newest addition to my palette over the last 6 months and actually getting really into it. I am actually considering a neutral tone for my next designer handbag, instead of being swayed towards the safe, timeless black option. 











Todays look is very feminine with the full midi skirt paired with heels. I find it really difficult to wear a this length without heels, and honestly wish I wasn’t so conscious over looking swamped by a longer style skirt. I couldn’t resist these neutral toned lace up heels to add a bit of spice into the outfit. Although they have a heel, I think I will get so much wear out of these in the summer. Purely because of the block heel (which makes the shoes comfortable for walking) and monochrome hues, which guess what?? Match my whole wardrobe! Neck ties are still going strong in the accessories department and picked this one up in H&M for $5. The perfect addition to a ladylike look with tones that compliment the whole outfit.
