who's that girl.

This girl, Kamilya, is PHENOMENAL.

Christine in Lover

Holy Moley, Christine Centenera looks OUT. OF. SIGHT., and I don't usually like lace. This is very much a highly circulated outfit, especially in the blogging world, but I simply don't care. This is now one of my most favourite looks on her. 

What's best about Christine is the fact that she's always showcasing Australian designers, even at cream of the crop events in Europe, when everyone else is in Prada, haute couture, etc.

Change is Good

Miroslava's chopped off her hair! As much as I love her long locks, perhaps she needed to lop it off add some maturity to her appearance. She's absolutely beautiful, so I can't really picture her not suiting any hairstyle, really..

I've always loved shoulder length hair, I just wish I had the face shape and well-behaved hair to pull it off!

CRUSH

I am not kidding, I've been an avid fan of Ilona Hamer's style for years. She always has the perfect blend of casual and chic. Not to be biased, but she also has my most favourite bag in the world, but she'd still be a favourite of mine without it..

I like Winter again.

Take note of the injection of blog posts, because it either means I should be studying for exams or working on an assignment, haha. 

With the average temps ranging from 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, it goes without saying that Sydney's Winter is in full force, and after longing for it throughout Summer, I'm beginning to hate it. Cold mornings mean more effort to get out of bed, and outfits which practically overlook any aesthetic or fashionable value, as the only thing one would care about is not catching pneumonia! It's such a Sydney whinge, as we don't even see snow during our Winter, but after seeing Summer looks on the other side of the globe, it's hard not to yearn for hot weather and the ability to wear Bassike tanks, Ksubi denim shorts and sandals! 

I thought I'd end my rant by throwing a complete 180 and posting up some fabulous photos of people in their Winter get-ups.. a good tactic to make me want to put on a nice coat, or pull out some fur pieces from my wardrobe.

 

Miroslava, my favourite, knows how to rock Winter looks like the back of her hand. 

 

The epitome of PLUSH.

 

Gotta love anoraks, they're pretty much my Winter uniform.

 

I love this trench, I wish a similar one was available in Sydney, but the closest version I could find was in Sweden!

Room Inspiration

So my family have just moved into a new house and straight after exams I intend to finally do something creative with my bedroom. It looks awfully bare at the moment, so I've been doing some research on making my room look a little bit more aesthetically appealing. My boyfriend and I have already made a visit to IKEA and all I have bought, thus far, is a pretty cool pink wheelie desk chair, a massive white desk and some beddings.  

...I'm thinking next on the list would perhaps be a shag pile rug (a nice version, I swear) and some artworks for my pistachio green walls. 

Hmm, judging my these images, I think I want to find a balance between child-like and minimalism? I'm a sucker for pastel shades.

(daydream lily, homedesigninterior, knightman)

Just breathtaking.

When I first saw this photo, I found myself staring at it for a good few minutes. I can't say I know a lot about garmentry, but even a layman would know that this photo is a testament to how talented Dion Lee is. I'm in awe of the intricate detail of his origami-style pleating, his interesting folds and cut-outs.. everything about these pieces, really.

Perfection

This, and the much circulated photo of her bright-lipped in Jil Sander, are my favourite photos of Kate Bosworth. It's a testament to how naturally beautiful she is.

 

I ♥ J.CREW

I'm drawing a lot inspiration from J.Crew's colourful preppy aesthetic this Autumn and Winter. Love, love, love their latest range. They prove that pastels and dark, rich colours & prints can co-exist quite well together in an outfit. I'm also really liking the embrace towards the relaxed trouser silhouettes.

So, next on the shopping list: more trousers in vivid hues and prints, and perhaps a steamer for all of my button-ups? (I tend to veer away from any piece of clothing requiring ironing, as it takes away extra snooze hits on the alarm.. hmm, must overcome that soon)

Mid-week Mixer

My favourite mixed bag of photos from the past week;

Some good insight on how to wear my leather skirt in more 

ways.

Still loving mixing up monochrome textures.

Columbine makes me covet every damn thing she dons. 

Creepers now, even creepers!

Easy, breezy outfit.. On the lookout for the perfect pair of 

relaxed (non-boyfriend) denims.

 

Just because I love Alexandra Richards.

and I love all photos I see of my (hopefully not so distant) 

dream-bag.

A Mish Mash of Late

Drooling over Dion Lee's Aqua Teal pieces from his capsule II 

Collection.

 

Fiesty Blade Loafers.

Hmmm, I'm considering this in orange or a Balenciaga for 

my new everyday bag.

The Prada scarf which reminds me of the Cheshire Cat in Alice in 

Wonderland.

Harley wears this so well. Good colour choice, also.

...on a side note, Coachella updates are making me green with envy.
