Rural Roll Necks

As you may have seen in my last style post, a few weekends ago I headed to the South of Sydney for a tranquil weekend amongst the trees and nature. Being a city girl through and through, these kind of weekends I need to experience more. As I work in digital Mon-Fri, I like to spend my weekends travelling to new places, away from my laptop, and it’s my chance to experience what Australia has to offer and do what I love: photography and capturing moments. Sydney has been my home for just over a year, and with weekends being precious, it’s the best time to soak up new chilled getaways whilst wearing my favourite relaxing threads.

Country Road honestly has some of the best knits this season, and if their Tasmanian winter campaign isn’t enough to bundle you up in a layering cocoon then I don’t know what will! Knit and lace has been an autumn favourite of mine for the past 2 years. It’s classic, contrasting and seductive in a minimalistic way. This cream jumper is super warm and I love the attached scarf that can be worn loose or wrapped around the neck for added warmth. Perfect for the dropped temperatures in the bush. The skirt is lightweight and soft to the touch, which is an important factor moving into the colder months. I find my skin can be a lot more sensitive so this delicate feel was a nice touch. Knee high boots are a necessity for winters in the UK, so when I saw these suede beauties it was not a difficult decision to style them with this look. The lace up detailing on the back compliment the intricacy of the skirt.

This look was finished off with silver hardware that’s simplistic, and a trusty pair of hand made sunglasses to shade the speckled light that peeked through the trees! Perfect for a weekend filled with not doing a lot other than drinking tea, eating good food and snuggling up in my tent! I had such a fun time sharing my 3 part glamping experience. I’ll be heading off again in a few weeks so stay tuned for a new resort that i’ll be featuring on Boho Behind The Lens.

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!
