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.

The Button up

Happy Sundays!

These past few weeks I have been particularly inspired by Seed's pieces in store. For those who aren't familiar with the brand, they are renowned for their simple and sophisticated style. I stumbled across their 'Button through tie' top in the city last week and thought OMG! Way too cute. See below!

The Vest

Hello! 

Another week gone. It is crazy how much time flies whether or not your having fun (lol). Report cards, verifications and non-stop assessment is what's been happening in my life. But, it's time to do something I love, and that's sharing my style with you lovely people. This weekend I am inspired by grey long line vests. This particular one I purchased from Ally Fashion but there are plenty of these swimming online. I will admit I have worn this baby way too many times in the past two weeks! I love it's simplicity, and the edge it brings to any ensemble. Ladies, you cannot go wrong with this one. Here are a few of my looks:

Sunday OOTD

Hello! 

Just a quick post to share with you one of my favourite looks during the transition into Spring. The time when I still get a bit chilly, but it ain't cold enough for thick coats.This was a casual outfit I quickly put together a few weeks ago for a family lunch. I finally found the perfect time to wear a light weight trench coat! During winter this trench was way too thin, but, the ease into spring has been a better match. Of course, what a better way to match up shades of grey with white which I think can never go wrong My grey crop was a cheap find from Valleygirl a while ago, but you can find lots and lots of similar ones on line (shop the look down below).
