Style Diary - The London Look

It's been a year since I packed and explored the beyond... or well Europe for that matter. 

I miss it a lot, though being at home I've been able to do some pretty cool things so its not all bad being home.  Especially my extended wardrobe. It was such a pain to pack for 6 months in Europe. I wanted to bring so many pieces but many were too big or just impractical for my travels.

I got this Leather Jacket from the Camberwell Market for $10 (Tres amazing bargain!) It's got these insane puffy sleeves, when rolled up give great texture to any look. This Union Jack sleeveless tee is from Zipia, it's a very gimmicky shirt; I don't wear it too often but I thought I'd pull it out for this occasion.

Vintage Leather Jacket / Zipia Sleeveless Tee / Bardot Skinny Waxed Jeans / Black Dr. Martens / Forever 21 Ring / H&M Ring

Finishing my look I wanted a sleek black look so I wore my waxed Bardot jeans and Dr Martens. I never wear my Dr Martens because I have narrow feet so they tend to make my feet look huge.

 I love love love having  the combination of a statement vintage piece with complementing and contemporary pieces you can get anywhere. 

Style Diary - Pradaesque? Pants

Have you ever had that moment where you bought something, never wore it and then all of a sudden it's trendy?

I bought these drop drotch harem pants from Forever 21 last year before my travels. I don't know why I wanted them, I was just drawn to the obscurity of the print and of course the drop crotch and the like. I never got to wear them last year... I ordered them in the middle of winter and then I left for Europe. 

Coming home however I made use of the pants wearing them to the LMFF Ready-to-Wear Trunk Show and now here and there. Funnily enough the print resembles the fun fruity prints from Prada's Spring 2011 collection.. well I think so at least.

These pants are tres comfy and are just a lot of fun to wear out either casually with a tee or even a fitted blazer in the colder times. 

For this looks I paired the pants with a basic Black V, Black Gladdy Sandals, Vintage Ring and these woven bands. One of them was from my Wifey Yan before I left for Europe while the others I got whilst in Barcelona.

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...
