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

The Bronze Snake Shop

My first trip to Melbourne I must say was full of both, fortunate and unfortunate events. Shopping was quite the same to Brissy, but I was definitely attracted to the boutiques. So many 'Melbournistic' styles. I was pretty bummed on the amount I bought, but considering the time I had, and the gender I was with, made it harder to find something...quick lol. Overall I had a great time! I will share my experiences in a lifestyle post soon :) Keeping this one short and sweet.

Winter: Side split knits

Hello helloooo! Yes I have been MIA for a long while again... It is such a struggle finding the time to work on anything else but work, hashtag teacher life. But as they say, good things take time, and time is what I'm working on atm. Anyway! Winter has been official for a while and oh damn am I feeling it! I've been attracted to weirdly cut pieces; and jumpers with side splits have definitely caught my eye.

Love for pattern.

So it's been a while... And I do apologise to the many who have waited! I've just started teaching, whilst working at Nine West (cannot let go of the fun side of retail). My weeks are hella' busy, and I cannot seem to find the time for a lot of things! But, I think down the road I will learn how to find the time, like I have now. Any ways, so the past season I've been attracted to pattern blocking. I find it effective when you balance it with a block colour, like what I've done with navy.

Dress it up Dress it down

My shopping addiction began with my first part time job; working as a sales assistant at Priceline. I would blow out and literally purchase everything I could possibly want. My wardrobe was constantly changing and over months I had realized that I owned so much clothing that I no longer wanted – since at the time it was no longer ‘trendy’ or my style. As I grew into a young adult, my shopping habits changed…and for the better. Instead of purchasing one off garments, I go for pieces that are simple, easy to match up with, easy to dress up and dress down.

White and mesh

This summer has been so far blistering hot in Brisbane… and like most of us fashion enthusiasts, I'm sure 'stylish comfort' is ideal for every outfit. I think I did well with this one, layering my cotton singlet crop top with a matching mesh top from Supre, but here is a similar one from ASOS. It seems so simple wearing all white….but it isn't. Not entirely because of its likeliness to become somewhat dirty, but ‘matching’ whites seem to be quite a mission. You've got your dirty whites, white whites, your ivory but it seems whites, and creamy whites. UGH. Luckily my white midi zipper skirt from Ses fashion matched up perfectly with my top; this way my outfit kind of  looked like a one piece dress! This season I am inloveeee with midi skirts, ESPECIALLY with slits and splits. Here’s a similar one I found from Dissh. Did I mention I’m in love with wearing white and mesh too?? I have been inspired by The Haute Pursuit who I absolutely adore! This bangin' gal rocked a more sports luxe look wearing a front split skirt and a jersey mesh top.
