Style Diary - Stars Inifinity

Shirts. I've never really been too into them. 

Times have changed. Prints, Cuts, Sheer. I have converted. 

And who doesn't love love love a Bow Tie? 

....Well in this case it's a headband made into a Bow Tie.

Bow Tie nevertheless...

 Topshop + A Great View + Elle UK-ing + Dinner with the Wifey

Hola!

Sorry about the lack-there-of-posts. I swear I haven't forgotten about the blog, though with Christmas coming up I'm uber busy. I managed to somehow juggle crazy work hours and a social life for a second week in the row. Though as I type I'm downing a nice hot cup of lemon and honey as my voice has become all husky -like really attractive no? I promise that posts will increase after the Christmas period, I shall be posting, shooting and shopping away with a stylish Santa Hat! 

A bit of London has touched down in Melbourne with the first Australian Topshop store opening at the Jam Factory. I must say I was eager to see whether it would carry the same vibes from Europe to Australia with stock and overall feel. I'm happy to say it's a good expansion. I'm giving it a few months to settle in before I start to frequent the store which practically has taken over the Jam Factory. I saw many pieces that I love love love, there was one long printed maxi which X Factor UK finalist Janet Devlin wore. I swooned over it... though I don't think it's going to be well received downunder... ah well. 

I obviously shopped... picking up a sleeveless blazer which I must admit was pretty tame for me, I'm trying to be good with my saving and such...

Throughout the week I took a break from my detox for some Christmas Work Drinks with some yummy 'Hola Shots' and Japanese dessert galore. It's nice to balance a hectic schedule with something fun, instead of going home and prepping for the next day. I also had a 21st Birthday which was hilarious, familiar faces and plenty of yummy food! I whipped out my Unif Hellraisers which always get a good reception... though people bending down touching my shoes... a weird feeling that I'll never get used to..

Endearing. It's my word of the moment.

Trying to suss out a future path I'm following whatever excites and motivates me; anything endearing.

 To me it's something that's natural and that simply 'works' whether it be with tasks or the company I keep. 

I'm trying to ensure that there is something or someone endearing, it makes life interesting to say the least.

It's not too complex or beige...

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 - Quilted Love

One thing I have realized when unpacking was that I have a lot more winter/cooler weather clothing. As it being summer and all its mildly frustrating that I can't wear any of these pretty pieces. I got this quilted shoulder sweater from Topman in Malaysia, and these really cool pair of black trousers from H&M when I was in Paris. 


I particularly love the pants as they have really deep exaggerated pockets which work well with the skinny leg of the pant. Love love love

Style Diary - Sporty?

I bought this sweater from Topman a while back and while mucking around with my camera I took a few shots. The top vaguely reminds me of Alexander Wang's sportswear collection, its probably the closest thing to sportswear you'll see me in.

Style Diary - Cest la Vie

This Cest La Vie singlet I found at Topman is pretty cute, though normally I stay away from printed wording.

Style Diary - Mickey...? You're so fine

Who doesn't like Mickey Mouse? I got this sweater from Topman, just because it's fun and the cut suits well. Normally I'm not a big fan of sweaters just because I normally swim or look too shrimpy in them, but this one is cut well.
