Style Diary: Singin' the Blues

I hate to have a favourite but.. I do.

I honestly don't remember how I got this Blue Blazer. One of those random vintage finds that I bought probably under or about $10, something I just left in my wardrobe for a future occasion and what not. It was only recently I took it off the hanger (ripped off the dry cleaner's tag) and put it on.

Do we all remember Sex and the City 2? Remember Carrie's brown blazer that she always wearing throughout the movie (even with that FAB Emilio Pucci gown?) well this is my 'Carrie Blazer'. There isn't anything uber special about it. It's just your standard linen blazer, lined, big pockets, slightly oversized, uber 80's shoulder pads... but there's something about it, I can just chuck it on and I'm happy with my outfit. Weird no?

It's such a versatile casual piece. For this look I paired the blazer with basic tones. Simple black jeasn and a grey tank I made myself. The flash from my camera really brought out the blues in the blazer making it look much richer. Accessorizing I added my oversized cuff, vintage mini briefcase and a simple pair of black lace ups. Just keeping it casual. I guess everyone has that piece in their closet that they always wear to death, and this is mine!

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!
