Reliables



1.   2.  3.45.


Quite often I see an amazing statement piece that I've just got to have (like these stunning Chloe trousers) but when it comes to styling it up its a lot harder than you think! It’s easy to over load an outfit with too many busy accessories and ruin the overall look.

I like to keep things clean so when it comes to bags and shoes I’m a sucker for simple black leather
accessories because I can wear them with almost anything. Investing in some quality leather accessories
is something that can make such a huge difference to an outfit and will last for years if you look after
them properly.

The same goes for jewellery; as much as I love to go crazy on the odd high street jewellery
spree it’s good to have a couple of statement pieces to wear on special occasions. I tend to stick to
silver and pewter pieces of jewellery - the Alexander McQueen
Flower Skull ring and the YSL Arty ring are my two all time favourites.

Shoes....




1. BCBGMAXAZRIA        2. ZARA.
 
 
I would love for both of these pairs of sandals to be in my shoe collection in time for summer. I've been looking for a pair of shoes with a metallic heel for a while now but haven't found any I've liked until I came across these BCBG beauties.
 
These Zara combination print sandals are equally as amazing and as essential for summer. If only my bank balance could facilitate this...

Silk Separates


Jacket- H&M. Top- Choies. Shorts- Choies.com. Shoes- H&M. Sunglasses- ASOS. Bracelet- Merrin and Gussy


Hey Everyone,

How good is this H&M jacket? It is possibly THE best biker leather jacket I have ever seen on the high street, it was a little more expensive than H&M's usual prices but 100% worth it. Ive been wearing it so much recently and I have a feeling you are going to be seeing a lot more of it on the blog too.

Ive also been dying to show you this little top and shorts set from Choies. I love the silky pyjama-esque feel its got going on, they come together as a set but theyre great for mixing and matching with other pieces too.

A lot of you have been emailing to ask how delivery/customer service is at Choies.com and for me theyve always been great! Ive always been very happy with anything I have recieved from them so even if there had been a small wait it would be worth it in the end!

Bye Melbourne...

1. Graffiti on Greville St. 2. View from Elwood beach 3. Flinder's Station White Night 4. Southbank

Hey Guys, 

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram you will probably know that I'm back in Scotland at the moment for a short break. Its been so great to be home to see family and friends and take advantage of the British high street but I cant help but miss my second home.  

Thankfully my camera is now fixed so I will be back to blogging very very soon ! I have a huge backlog of things to show you all over the next couple of weeks, I think i'm probably going to have to do a post per day to get through it all. I cant wait :) 

Hope you've all been well and missed you all these last few weeks!

What I've Been Pinning







Hey Guys,

I have some really sad news... My camera has decided to pack in and die so I havent been able to get any new outfit posts for you this week.

SO instead of channelling my creative juices into styling and snapping looks for you myself, I've been hooked on pinning on Pintrest. Although its not quite the same as creating my own looks its been an adequate substitute for the time being and highly addictive! If you haven't signed up already I suggest you do and get following me heeere :)

Hopefully it wont be too long until I'm back to papping my latest buys but will definitely keep blogging my latest happenings and new obsessions in the mean time!

Hope you've all been well :)

Emerald




Top- JUNK. Shorts- Missguided. Belt- Thrifted. Shoes- Choies.com. Bag-ASOS. 
Hey Everyone,

Hope you've been having a good week :) We've been having a bit of a heatwave over in Melbourne this week and its going to get even hotter over the weekend, Im going to Future Festival on Sunday to see The Stone Roses and Temper Trap which I cannot wait for ! The fact that its going to be 32 degrees just makes it even better.

I love wearing this emerald green colour with a bit of gold and black, it gives a bit if a vintage 80's feel to an outfit. Im also still getting so much wear out of these shoes, I think im definitely going to have buy a replacement pair when I wear these ones out in the very near future.

Ive just recently been listed on Blog and the City- a website that lists influential style bloggers organised by their city- I was really flattered to be listed against some amaaazing bloggers in Australia, you should check out their page here  :)

Pinstriped



Trousers- Zara. Top- Zara. Bag- Sportsgirl. Shoes- Sportsgirl. Sunglasses- ASOS.
Hey Guys,

Hope you've all had a good weekend ! After a bit of a dramatic end to the week (involving a collapse, a  pretty vicious knock to the head and a trip to hospital) I spent the rest of mine down at the coast relaxing by the sea which was amazing!

Ive been dying to show you these amazing pinstripe silk trousers from Zara. They are the perfect balance between slouchy lounge pants and tailored suit trousers, making them suitable for almost any occasion. They can be easily dressed up for work or out for dinner but at the same time they can be dressed down for some mooching about. I really hope they make this style in some more colour ways !
