When the humidity accelerated in Sydney a few weeks back, one thing was on my mind…..How am I going to survive another Australian summer staying true to my style? I must admit, Autumn is the month my wardrobe loves me best. Each piece gets a lot more love with the thanks to layering. This summer, I am trying to invest in pieces that I think will see me through a few seasons. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not easy shopping this way, but it definitely makes my wardrobe smaller and enables me to wear pieces a good few times. Summer is also a great time to shop in the UK sales, online from Aus. The likes of Zara, Cos, Topshop and Asos have some of the best sales and it’s a chance to pick up a winter bargain or two that will be on trend for the colder months Southern Hemisphere. Today’s blazer I picked up in the Topshop sales, and although the temperature was nearing 35 degrees the day of purchase, it doesn’t mean you have to set you mind to thinking that you won’t get the wear from it. A classic jacket is always a winner.
Over the holidays you may have seen over on my Instagram that I headed to Perth with my loved one for my first Christmas away from home. I was nervous to be out of my usual routine watching Home Alone wrapped in a blanket after a turkey coma with the family, watching the Queens speech at 3pm. Thankfully my partners parents are both British, which meant a Turkey roast with all the trimmings was awaiting me. Thanks to Snapchat, I managed to catch up with one blogger that I met at Fashion Week. Jiawa Liu from Beige Renegade blog. It turns out she lives close to Chris’ parents, so a spontaneous meet up happened on Boxing Day. It’s awesome meeting fellow creatives, and we had a blast of a day drinking epic milkshakes and getting some killer shots.
Todays location was at Cottesloe Beach Hotel and I couldn’t help but have a nerdy jaw dropping expression thanks to the interiors being clean and minimal. Hopefully that doesn’t show in these snaps! The LWD (little white dress) is from one of my favourite Sydney boutiques, PS the Label. It’s quite easy to style a white dress up a little too much when worn with heels, but wanted todays look to be more of a relaxed one, so opted for a pair of old kicks. It’s quite fun turning a dress into your own, styling it differently from the online lookbook. The outfit was finished off with a marble bag, silk neck tie and trusty round Raybans. The perfect look to ease back into work.
