Back To Basics

I thought I would go back to basics in this post. Obviously, I am loving this new Ksubi knit which is great to pair with just about anything if it wasn't for its electrifying red colour. The shorts I bought back a while ago because of their ragged appearance mostly. What item of clothing are you obsessing over this season?

Leather Pants & Cut-outs

Earlier this week I went shopping in Bondi Junction and I swear this knit just jumped out at me. The detailing of the cut-outs make it a distinctive stand-out amongst all the knits that I'm seeing this season. Sure, you could purchase three or four knits at any chain store for the price of this one but I can guarantee you that the silhouette or fit will not be as flattering. The truth of the matter is that if you invest your money into a good quality item, your bound to get more wear out of the piece.

I found these jeans in particular to be a great imitation of the "leather" look without being totally restrictive and uncomfortable. Fashion doesn't always need to hurt, it's important to not only look good but feel good wearing couture` too!

Guess Jeans

From the moment I could walk my mum would accessorise every outfit of mine with an Oshkosh or Fred Bear hat, and so the obsession began. This one from Sportsgirl in particular is one of my favourites to date. The addition of colours coming from the scarf and the hat instantly gives an outfit of winter staples a more autumn appeal, and you would be surprised how it quickly it can change the gloomy state of a winters day into one just a little more warmer.
I can't tell you how much I love these Guess jeans--the washed out fabrication of the design a perfect addition to its authenticity. Comfort is definitely a selling point for me, and I found that the amount of elasticity in these jeans made it appear as fitted as your regular pair of skinnies without restricting movement. The crimped texture in my hair was a result of having my hair braided for a whole 24 hours and then taking it out to reveal the natural beach waves it left behind. This is a great alternate method to applying heat if you have fine hair like me because I unfortunately know the damaging effects of heat exposure on the hair after years of using the hairdryer. The natural thickness of my hair is starting to grow back thanks to the combination of moroccan oil treatment with a moroccan and argon oil shampoo and conditioner which I posted about in my top five beauty buys here.

I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of affordable white jeans for quite some time now and despite multiple trips to designer factory outlets and the occasional trip to the city, who would have thought that perfect pair would be waiting for me in a small suburb's boutique? You can discover the most enchanting and rare finds in your local chain stores that you might never have thought to explore.
If it's unique pieces that your after or new designers that your looking to uncover, I highly recommend you check out all the small boutiques you know. The Zara knitwear is also new and offers a surprising amount of warmth in the cooler seasons. The jacket I actually considered getting rid of at some point but luckily my instincts told me to hold onto it for just a while longer. What completed the outfit and gave it the "hip" look that I was going for was the fedora hat, a must have item of mine. It just takes one basic fedora hat to reinvent a closet-full of clothes, no matter what the season!

Floral Winter

Photos By: My Amazing BFF Gabrielle (Thank you!)

I've been planning a day to go down to my local park to take some photos for a long time now so yesterday my best friend and I headed down with my Canon DSLR and she captured the most amazing shots ever--literally! We had planned for it to be a sunny day but, coincidentally enough, as soon as my camera ran out of batteries the sun decided to come out and ruin my attempt of capturing a mid-air jump on the bridge. I loved experimenting with capturing movement on camera, and the results were truly memorable.

Floral jeans are an emerging trend this season and these ones were a fantastic buy compared to other expensive ones currently on the market. The addition of my new favourite mustard coloured knit gave the outfit that extra zeal it needed in order to stand out amongst the beautiful greenery. I'm also seeing a trend emerging that involves the cross-body bag, and this one hits the mark in terms of comfort and style.

Also a reminder to keep voting for my post on Fashion Click! Can my amazing readers get it to fifty? Every vote counts! :)

The mustard coloured knit that I am wearing caught my eye from afar, possibly because of it's wintery appeal. The sunglasses by Sabo Skirt are also new! You can get them here!
