and that's a wrap

My life at the moment consists of collars and coffee– in my opinion, two of the greatest things in existence. My three denim shirts have been on a constant cycle from hanger to body to washer. In all seriousness, if I had to recommend one investment piece, it would be a beautiful shirt– simple and subtle in colour, bangin in fit and über versatile. My three babies are from a variety of sources– opp shop, Wrangler and my most recent acquisition, Bettina Liano. My American Apparel sheer maroon number isn't too bad either :)

I am on the look out for a dark denim number– please link me if you know of any lovelies!

And speaking of coffee, I am slowly but surely compiling a list of the best soy-latte sources. So far it looks like this...

Richmond: Espresso 3121, Pillar of Salt

Armadale: Cooper & Miller's, Coin Laundry

CBD: Cup of Truth, Cacao

For me it has to be hot, creamy, large in size and completely lacking in that awful bitter cheap-bean taste. Preferably 5-senses, organic or fair-trade. Yes I am a bit of a coffee snob.

exciting post...as promised

sunday has become my go-to day for blogging. morning to be more specific, but not in my pyjamas. I feel instantly more productive and able when fully dressed and ready– I find I can't even begin my daily jibs until I have completed my morning routine. That means breakfast, bathroom, wardrobe, room tidy. Definitely I am not one of those sunday slobs who laze around aimlessly in their pjs all day– not that there is anything wrong about this, but it's just not for me!

So, to get on with the plot of this aforme-described "exciting post".

I recently got a message from an ol' schoolie requesting use of my mini underwear collection (made way back in 2010) for a knit themed fashion photoshoot. Of course I said yes!

Anyway, the photographer ended up choosing two pics with my knicker-bockers featured... take a look for your self.

I am yet to find out how exactly the photos are going to be used, but they will definitely be welcomed items in my ever-growing portfolio of work!

So if you're reading...thanks Sammy!

the one, in which, we jump

another outfit post for you...plus a cheeky little photo booth snap of ma new hair. i'm getting better at this aren't i? snaps for gaby

this outfit looks all too much like my school uniform– probably inspired by my new cropped locks. yes, i finally got my hair re-done– this time with a whiter blonde dip dye. it may be rather passé, but I love it and think it looks rad.

skirt: made my mum

shirt: opp shop– possibly my best opp shop buy to date

knit: tommy hilfiger

shoes: wittner grandpa loafers

yum

I am yumming all over the place with the proenza schouler resort collection. yum yum yum

In the side-splitting debate over orange I am fronting the affirmative side with vigour and passion. Terracotta hues with a dash of mossy lime are my got-to colours for this shiver-season (the W word has been tactfully eluded to here to avoid me shuddering in seasonal demise.

My hatred of leg coverings have me loving these looks even more. Wearing shorts when its cold out may seem rather silly, but I think that Autumn is a time to celebrate this and embrace the bare-leg.

I recommend you check out the rest of the collection– its ace.

Other stuff that's new with me:

-growing realisation that everything acne is all too perfect

-growing desire to base my entire wardrobe on acne pieces

-growing realisation that I am a poor uni student and my available funds will never allow this to happen.

-currently loving wearing matching suit outfits

-as a result becoming obsessed with bettina liano denim and silk knit suits

-realisation that aforementioned funds won't allow for this clothes dream either

-online shopping has provided a much needed comforting hobby

-have recently purchased a new Fjäll Raven baby and two iPhone cases– both of which are probably all to horrific and tacky but rad all the same.

-am also hovering over the 'purchase' button on a Handsom anorak and platform oxfords.

-realisation that this hovering is not likely to last much longer and my bank account will soon be $200 lighter.

-on other yumming notes, am becoming obsessed with Loving Earth. Their LuvJu chocolate bars have literally become a staple of my diet. I recommend the bulk buy option here... these mint afa ones will be my next purchase once i've munched through my epic box of the coconut mylk!

-this friday will see the culmination of sushi and zac efron– this can only result in epic radness.

That's all bébés... stay tuned for an exciting post...something very cool is nigh!

Winter wanties

As winter rolls around I feel myself clinging to the last drops of sunshine and dreaming of summer days. Thank goodness I am planning an escape from the wintery blues. Italy here I come.
