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!

Winter - Spring - Summer

Lately, I have been struggling with the weather changes in Sydney. Last weekend I was at the mountains in sub degree temperatures whilst Sydneysiders were enjoying 25 degree days! That’s a hot summers day in the UK, and can’t believe how crazy the weather can be here! Hence the reason for today’s post. How to dress for 3 seasons in one day! As much as I’m dragging out winter, it’s hard to avoid the tempting spring/summer pieces that are dropping into stores right now. For all you ladies who love Aussie labels, I give you Frolic Girls. Wollongong based boutique stocking classic affordable brands such as Cameo Collective, The Fifth Label, Zulu & Zephyr and many more. For the more up market female, they also have an array of more luxury directed brands: Zimmerman, Camilla and Marc, Faddoul etc. It’s a great online destination for emerging and classic pieces and if you love to get your hands on these brands from a local store then look no further.
















Midi skirts are perfect for any season, and love a good old A line to accentuate height and add a bit of femininity to any look. This Fifth Label 2 piece is so versatile I’ve managed to style it three ways   for different seasons. Being a monochrome print, it’s definitely not difficult to find pieces in my wardrobe to layer this look. The knitted jumper is a year old and actually mens! Although male jumpers don’t typically fit my shoulders, it’s a nice oversized option and love I can roll the sleeves up to give that relaxed slouchy look to contrast the girly movement of the skirt. For my autumn twist on this look, I have added a lightweight Kardashian Collection trench coat to bring out the brighter tones whilst layering without bulkiness. One touch I like to add to my layered looks is rolling the sleeves over the jacket. I personally hate the feeling of scrunched sleeves! Plus it leaves room to display your favourite timepiece or arm candy.


It’s weird being back from the mountains, as loved it there and if you follow me on Instagram you will see how snap happy I have been over the last week. Currently writing this post from Melbourne. It’s nice to be back here again for a relaxing weekend which is much needed after snowboarding! Shot a cool editorial look from my hotel which I’ll be sharing in the next couple of weeks!
