Style Diary - Back to Black

Back home from Sydney. I had to bring home something pretty.

I picked up this Dion Lee Rope Jacquard Print Jacket, adding to my collection of Aussie Designer pieces. There is something about Dion Lee's silhouettes, and with his jackets in particular I'm in love love love with them. The jacket features a jacquard rope weave with white screen printed rope print on top. Very dynamic creating a 'three dimensional illusion'. I could talk about this jacket for days.... 

I love love love how the front is cut longer than the back; classic Dion Lee. There is even an 'M' on the back of the jacket. A sign no? 

For this look I wanted to go all black and white. Working with textures I paired the Jacket with a sheer/loose singlet and my ruched leggings. I added my Jeffery Campbell Switchblades and an anchor necklace to finish the look. I want to exaggerate the jacket's cut by wearing the leggings, and the heels balance the look at the bottom.

This is also my entry look for Nuffnang's SJP 'I Don't Know How She Does It' Look entry. I chose this look because it's a total statement look, from the jacket to the shoes. No matter how busy life is, wearing fun and unique clothes helps me get through the day and makes me feel BAM amazing! Why not show SJP some great Aussie Talent!

Style Diary - Fly me to the Moon

I feel like the Moonman, but a Tres Amazing one...

So last week I wore red bright jeans, this week I'm moving forward (and on trend) with metallics.

These pair of silver jeans from Zara, I was just browsing around and these jeans caught my eye.
To me these bad boys scream 90's, glam, strong and mod.
 It was one of those purchases I just saw and walked straight to the counter!

I wanted a strong look for the pants, so I added my Lanvin ♥ H&M blazer, draped tank and high boots. I love love love my blazer, the sheen on the lapel and the jeweled buttons ah! I cannot stop smiling! 

Accessorizing the look I added a simple cuff, long gunmetal necklace and my Asos box clutch. 
Going for a strong look to suit the metallic I chose pieces with strong blocky elements, predominately in black not to shy attention from the jeans.

Everyone grab yourself some metallic ahahha x

Style Diary - Red, White and Bright all over.

I'm working with Brights again

I've had my eye on a pair of red jeans for a while, and when I saw these pair at work I had to snap them up! They are right on trend, very pop bright. As you can see I'm slowly expanding my wardrobe.

I also cut my hair! Tres short no? I just needed a change... though it does looks quiet the same when I had my quiff.

For this look I paired the bright jeans with a light look. With brights, I tend not to colour block (because I don't own much colour clothing) so I normally pair it with a black or white look, to give emphasis to the jean. A long deep neck t-shirt and my floating lapel Dion Lee blazer.

I am in love love love with this blazer, its cropped the back with detachable lapels so it can be a simple grey blazer or a much more exaggerated coat. Accessories wise I added a long silver chained necklace, Topshop  envelope clutch and black boots for height.

I try to incorporate trends into my looks that suit my own style. You aren't going to see me colour blocking anytime soon!.

Style Diary - My Big Mac

I love love love me some outerwear.

With it being winter, majority of the time when I go to work or to uni I like to throw on a big jacket. I love love love how it covers everything so all I have to do is pair it with a scarf and some pants. The trench coat is my current fave, being long and having a waistband to add some shape to the silhouette its a perfect piece for me.

Now I have this Machintosh Coat which I got from London. It was apart of the Lanvin ♥'s H&M collection, I picked it up from Oxford Street. It's a large coat with with a thin tie on the waist. I haven't really worn the piece yet, just because it is very intense coat. But now come winter I'm bringing it out!

Being well me, I wanted to play with this coat. So for this look I wore this Topman t-shirt with a drop crotched jumpsuit with the coat on top. Adding some structure to the coat I put on this thick black belt that I made myself. The belt is tres amazing because its just a simple band that give me shape and a 'thin aspect' to me.

Finally accessorising I added this Zara briefcase which was gifted from my wifey, my Marc by Marc Jacobs cuff and by black high Zipia boots.

For a day to day or a 'rushed' day I'd take the coat and belt, pair it with some black and a scarf and bam I'm done!

Style Diary - Faux? Love.

I'm expanding my Winter Wardrobe

Coming back from Europe I expanded my Winter Wardrobe. Trenchcoats, Shearling, Vintage and Leather pieces have all made their way into my Wardrobe making winter bearable and stylish!

I wanted to get a faux fur... well anything for a while. I tend to get random cravings for things, fabrics, looks, colours and this time it was fur. The only thing with faux fur is well... it can tend to look fake. I know ironic but still... Looking here and there for a while I got across this jacket whilst on ASOS.com. Its a Faux Fur Gestuz Jacket.

After a bit of trouble trying to attain the jacket I finally got it, and I love love love it!
The fur is a blend of white, black and grey. Fitted and has pockets! (I love the little things).

With the fur being a large texture and monotonal I matched the jacket with a pair of Black Skinnies and a Black Deep-neck T-shirt. Accessorizing I added some metals, House of Harlow 1960 Sunburst Ring and a MARTAN Jewellery Double Cross Ring and a pair of black suede wedges.

Style Diary - Savage? and Vintage

I love love love me thing Savage H&M Print

Every time I think of this print I think of London, Oxford Street, Shopping, fond fond memories. Featured in my Style Diary entries, I collected this print. I've got a cropped blazer, pant and these blue leggings. They are tres intense, and I love love love them. 

Being Winter its gotten a lot more colder, and that means time for jackets, overcoats and layering. I never really enjoyed Winter, the rain and the cold but style wise it's great! I got this GAP overcoat on a successful vintage shopping trip. Its grey, long and fitted. For this Style Diary look I also added this black belt just to break the length and add some waist.  

This is my look for winter. Simple pieces with one savage statement!

Style Diary - Geeky? Chic

I wear glasses. Not often, mainly because I have contacts. But I do sometimes...

I'm not really a fan of glasses, I just think they make me look weird and geeky. Maybe it's because I haven't found a good pair. But I thought for this look why not don a pair of fake over sized ones just for fun.

As winter is upon us these are my last Summer/Autumn look posts. No more short shorts for a while... 

I love this casual look, simple fitted blazer from work (which has intense shoulder pads that I love love love), a grey deep neck singlet from Nique (given to me by my sister) and short shorts from work (on sale and they are tres comfy). 

To make the look that bit more special I added my Forever 21 necklace (some gunmetal polygon wrapped in chains), a handmade ring I picked up from Barcelona and my two favourite items at the moment my Topshop envelope clutch and my bronze Lanvin ♥ H&M dress shoes that I got in Lyon. 

I miss sunny days...
