A quick post with my weekend's outfit. I've finally recovered from the bad cold I had last week and
I'm ready to resume blog posting the way it used to be :)

I'm wearing:
Dress - H&M (I'm expecting a lot of "I've got the same dress!" comments down below :D)
Shoes - bought them at a local store and embellished with sheer petals (now they look like yeti feet, but I like it :D)
Clutch - Asos

Winter Sherpa

Dear friends,

If you've been following me on twitter, you would already know just how much I'm loving corduroy at the moment. This lovely baby blue skirt, is the latest to my cord collection, and I've already gotten so much wear out of it.

It has been crazy busy lately, with some very exciting things on the horizon. Holidays, work, and a brand new website, which I can't wait to share with you! As a bit of a heads-up, if you like Aussie fashion, you will love what I have lined up.

I'm wearing:
Sherpa Jacket, Minkpink, via Market HQ
Corduroy Skirt, American Apparel
Knit, Cotton On
Boots, Betts

Luv,

Look of the Day: Denim Shirt

Finally if ound a way to upload the images on my blog, I've been fighting Blogger since morning.

Basically, here's what I wear when I'm sick - jeans and definitely no heels. I found this denim shirt in my closet (I used to wear it like 5 years ago) and decided to bleach it to give it a lighter color. I'm very happy about the result.

Current Inspiration

Nadia Serlidou by Koray Birand for Harper’s Bazaar Turkey June 2011

(Source: fashiongonerogue)

I just can't get over how beautiful does Nadia Serlidou look in this editorial. I'm in love with each of these garments and a sort of an old-fashioned Hollywood feel to the whole photoset. 

P.S. Sorry for the lack of outfit posts, I've been down with cold for the last couple of days, so the only thing I'm up to right now is browsing my favorite magazines with a cup of hot lemon tea.

Look of the Day: Shorts

 

Here is one more look with my favorite Mango shorts that I can't get enough of (previously worn here). This time I decided to incorporate them into a somewhat boho-inspired outfit, trying to keep the color palette as neutral as possible. 

P.S. Meet my new favorite bag that I think is an ideal summer accessory.

I'm wearing:
Shorts - Mango
Chiffon top, bag, belt and all the jewelry - local stores
Boots - Asos
Nailpolish - Pop Nail Glam

Vintage fever

Dear friends,

Introducing my saviour this winter, this faux fur, 'New Heritics' coat.

Corduroy with fur accents, I'm definitely embracing my inner 70's child, in this snug as a bug coat.

Last week I was kindly invited by Betts to kick off their new blogger project '5 Ways to Wear'. I was asked to style one pair of shoes, you guess it, 5 different ways. My choice was the western inspired Taree boot. You can check out my looks and interview here.

I'm wearing:
Coat, Evil Twin, via Material Attention
Vintage boots, also seen here (Wild Flower)
Vintage dress
Vintage belt

Shopping at a Men's Department

Lately I've been hugely into wearing men's pieces and I've just ordered a men's bag, but I'm also eyeing some other items from the asos mens' section. I'd even buy a pair of men's cargo pants or jeans if I could try them on at first (I think it's too weird to do that at a mall) cause I love how unflattering they are to a figure. That might sound a bit strange :D Anyways, below are my asos men's section picks. I'm definitely going to order some of these next time, good thing they have XXS and XS sizes available.

1. ASOS Denim Varsity Jacket with Contrast Sleeve
2. River Island Denim Jersey Jacket
3. ASOS Laddered V-Neck Jumper (I actually think this one would look better on a girl)
4. ASOS Rope Belt
5. ASOS Wayfarer Sunglasses
6. Le Specs Wayfarer Sunglasses
7. ASOS Multi Layered Geometric Necklace
8. ASOS Shopper with Stud Detail (the bag I ordered, think it will go perfect with my Converse)
9. Seven London Silver Dagger Necklace
10. ASOS Woven Summer Snood
11. ASOS Joggers
12. ASOS Jersey Oversized Snood

The craft

Crushed velvet and knee-high socks, dare I suggest a resurgence in 90's fashion? Either way, this lovely little number has treated me well over the last few chilly weeks in Melbourne.

Also picked up this sweet little ring from my friends over on the West Coast (of Australia), Martini + Coz. Their beautiful range of accessories and handbags are lovingly created for the modern woman with a penchant for vintage chic - a label close to my heart (excuse the pun).

I'm wearing:
Dress, Minkpink, via Market HQ
Socks, Cotton On
Ring, Martini + Coz

On another note, I just won a £100 Asos GiftVoucher thanks to Fashiolista and Bartabacmode.com
