JORD watches

I have always been very fond of unique timepieces, especially ones that can be easily matched up with any outfit. JORD watches instantly caught my eye - with their vast range of minimalistic designs and colour combinations. JORD watches specialise in wood watches, using materials including ebony, bamboo, oak, maple and rosewood. I appreciate these timepieces even more as they are hand-crafted and powered by Swiss movement - great quality for their reasonable prices right?!

Valleygirl: The leather jacket

Leather jackets are always a winner in the wardrobe. During winter this year, my 2 year old faux leather jacket finally came to its end. I was quite surprised how long it lasted considering it was faux leather and I probably didn't take much care of it. I was eyeing down this grey leather jacket for weeks and finally found the will to buy it (wardrobe is spewing clothes). No regrets though - the possibilities are endless with this number! Consider grey the new black. Here are a few outfits I've put together over the weeks.

Stelly Clothing: Taylor Luxe pants

I'm back and into the rhythm of things :)

Sorry all! Teacher life getting the best of me. Today's style post looks at the Taylor Luxe pants from Stelly. Love these. A great staple for the wardrobe all year round. Why? Nude, high waist and breathable stretch fabric - my lovable combo for mixing and matching. The unique style cut around the waist makes it different from your other pants, and it's cropped length makes it easy to lengthen the legs.

Styling for less: After 5pm office look

I was cleaning out my wardrobe the other week (once again). I noticed how much 'office-looking-stuff' I had, probably due to working at David Jones for a year before I began my teaching career. Of course working at David Jones meant that you would have to wear black, everyday. Not that it was any different from what I wore out of work anyway (haha). Anyway, I was in the mood to mix and match some old and new garments and ended up creating one of my favourite ensembles for a casual night out. I paired up my high-waist wide leg pants I bought from ValleyGirl about 2 years ago with a black bandeau from Boohoo, and my Glassons sleeveless jacket. Oh the fun in recycling clothes!!

The bag: Open Closet

Updating the bag rack...

I have been itching to update my bag collection this year... and there are a few on my buy list! First one ticked off my list, and it's the Kelly Bag by Open Closet. It's the perfect size, great subtle grey color which goes with basically anything. There are three handy compartments and surprisingly fits a lot of my necessities. Check them out on www.opencloset.com.au

Talent: Sina Buck

Inspired by Sina Buck.

This week's post is a little different today. A few months ago I was surprised by a tag on Instagram - which was amazingly a watercolour painting of one of my looks! I was in awe of the idea that someone out there spent their time doing this, and more in awe of the skill Sina has. Sina is a junior graphic designer in Hamburg.
