Parisian Feels

The weather has been playing tricks in Sydney these last few weeks, which means my wardrobe has turned upside down! I recently packed away all my winter clothes (minus a few jumpers) to make space for lots of lightweight spring fabrics which the temperature just isn’t cooperating with. One transeasonal fabric that I’m all about right now is suede. I seriously can’t get enough of it after seeing it flood the streets of NYFW. Chloe is all over  the trend this season with camel 70's touches throughout. This jacket will be a staple for the coming months. Tan is filtering through my wardrobe as of late, and have even treated myself to a suede bag which you will see in my next post! Today was spent in The Rocks where sandstone were once the foundations for old Sydney. I am a little obsessed with this texture at the moment, and have been looking for this kind of backdrop for a while. Warm tones look great alongside it, especially when paired with white, and knew when I set eyes on this jacket it would also match my new white leather goods.

I was recently introduced to Singapore brand, CHARLES & KEITH which aligns well with a lot of items in my closet. Their shoes and bags are minimal and structured with a twist of contemporary elegance.  I opted for these white tassel mules which have a Proenza feel, and a large tote bag which is ideal for work. I love a good oversized style, and conveniently fits perfectly into my city lifestyle. Next weekend I am off to Melbourne so will most definitely use this as my go to for hand luggage.

I feel a little Parisian today with my hair tied up and a neck tie! It’s been a while since wearing a mini dress, and contemplating if I’m getting a bit old for this length! But when the dress fit like a glove, it just had to be done!

Knee High Deep

I’m back in Sydney after my trip to Melbourne and have so many more posts to show you from there. As mentioned in my previous post, the streets of Melbourne made me open my eyes a little wider to what was around me. Today’s shoot was on the waterfront where VAMFF was held. With the look being fun, bohemian and a little retro it only felt right to to add a bicycle to the mix! And they were blue! Added bonus for my blue/black/white Instagram obsession. Jessie shot this look for me, and after us both spending some time behind the camera on this trip, we both knew the aesthetic we wanted from the shots. The sun setting over the water reflected wonderfully onto the glass of nearby restaurants. I absolutely love how the dress moves and it’s just my style being a little loose fitting.

Ummmm these boots……Hello! Pretty much fell in love with these from the get go, and have been counting down the days until I could wear them. Thank you 4 seasons in one day Melbourne! It was a little cold on this night, so they came in very handy. I can definitely see myself wearing these over some leather trousers and a chunky knit in the middle of winter. Tassels are a permanent fixture in m wardrobe, so this grey bag was perfect to add a bit of fun to the look. Which matched my $20 Glebe market find jacket down to the finest detail. 

Hope everyone had a great Easter. I celebrated my 30th birthday on Friday with fellow bloggers and local friends and had one of the best times ever. More snaps over on my Instagram.
