Seventies Revival

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Robes, bodysuits, oversized sunnies all speak 70’s summer. Moving into the warmer months and help from the streets of Fashion Week, boho vibes are making a comeback. I like how the pyjama trend is slowly moving across into the summer months with a hippie twist; the silk shirts are becoming longer, looser and undone. Linen is starting to make an appearance again, and bodysuits with denim have never felt so good. In all honesty, bodysuits have never really been the most flattering on me, until today. I can rarely go without a bra, and took a gamble on this lace up knitted number. Surprisingly it hugs me in all the right places. I have opted for high waisted mom jeans to cinch me in at the right places. Who doesn’t love a high waisted jean?

It’s been a while since owning a kimono, but I was sold after seeing a street style image on Pinterest last week - An oversized print version styled undone with jeans. I have been pulling inspiration from that platform more and more and actually could spend hours on there! Please tell me I’m not the only one! 

The look was finished off with a textured wave, sling back Mary Janes and my trusted Chloe Faye. You can recreate this look over on Revolve and thankfully they currently have 20% off, so head on over and shop up a storm! For all my Aussie readers, they are also offering free express shipping! It’s definitely the destination for bodysuits (so much choice!) and is definitely my go to store for denim. So many of you have asked about my Rag & Bone cropped raw hem jeans which I have in all 3 colours, which I picked up at Revolve.

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!

Fringe & Lace

Two of my favourite things after lace and knit. Do you know how excited and ready I am for the suede, leather and the fringe trend this season? Being a lover of boho and mixing vintage with new, AW15 is probably one of the seasons I am genuinely diving into head first. After seeing some of the street style at New York and London Fashion Week, it’s a trend that can’t be pursued half heartedly. Fringing has always been a permanent fixture in my wardrobe, and you might have seen me wearing that black fringed bag in Paris over Christmas. One of my many bargains a few years back in the UK. Can’t go wrong with a bit of Primark!

The best thing about this trend is you don’t have to spend a lot of money. Shops like boohoo.com, and other online stores are full of these boho inspired pieces and they won’t break the bank. Look out for fringed jackets, skirts and bags. I am heavily tempted to rock more than one fringed piece at a time! No harm in that. So today’s look was shot on the streets of Melbourne last week with fellow Sydney blogger Jessie. We headed down for VAMFF and truly made the most of the non congested streets to shoot some of our favourite looks this season. After living in Sydney nearly one year, I actually miss good hearty street style and found Melbourne had way more streets on offer to shoot. Maybe it’s because I opened my eyes more being a new city, but will definitely be going back.

Stay tuned to see how I collaborated with sunglasses brand, ROC Eyewear for their street style from VAMFF and some of the looks I wore to attend the shows. Also a post coming soon from the runways. Have a great week!
