Style Diary - Silver Summer

This year's summer has been a box of all sorts. 

Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. More Cold. Even Rain... 

Though living in Melbourne.. I really should not be surprised...

In summer it's hard to really wear or enjoy a lot of pieces of clothing in a look. It's just too damn hot! 

This is probably why I'm really into accessories and particular statements pieces which help to bring out my style with minimal pieces. 

I still like to have a stylish look even if it's over 30 degrees...

I love love love my Silver Jeans, a statement piece but at the end of the day to me.. they're just jeans. 

For this look I just wanted to work the 'jeans and tee', accessorizing with my Alexander McQueen De-Manta Clutch and Unif Hellraisers. For fun I added my Key Necklace I got from the St Kilda Night Market and a Bolt Ring... which is literally a bolt that I wear as a ring.

Style Diary - Para. Para. Paradise

Remember my post about my Versace for H&M Shirt?
Well Wal Lah, here is my Style Diary post

The shirt is your contemporary Hawaiian/Tiki Shirt, something overly graphic but fun.

Love love loving the Blue Palm Tree front and the Black Alligator back, the combination is out there but it works in a 90's trend look.

This is my take on a Versace for H&M look, simple. Bit of Gold, Black (of course) and some studs from my Unif Hellraisers.

Endearing

 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...

Wishlist - Unif Hellraisers

Meet my NEW loafers.

These Unif Hellraisers are tres Amazing. Black lambskin loafer covered with silver spiked studs. Need I say more? The loafer is really comfy, though I need to change my walk. I keep on grazing my ankle! The pain for style. A bit of a splurge but all you need is one pair of studded leather loafers...

I got my pair directly from Unif but you can also grab them from Solestruck. They come in black and pink, and they are unisex (not that that really matters with me). If you want a pair I'd get in quick! Pre-orders come and go, sizes are limited so get cracking!

I love love love my pair, they fit true to size. And BAM they're intense. Not for the faint hearted or someone who bruises easily at the ankle. FYI..

Ticked off my wishlist! Though my obsession for shoes could make an entire list....hmm

Style Diary - Houndstoothy

I love love love this jacket.

I've been doing a massive wardrobe clean out recently. I'm donating all my unwanted or unworn pieces... well to make room for more! This jacket however I've had for ages, but I'm still in love love love with it. I got this Black Friday Houndstooth jacket a while ago, it was one of my first clothing purchases. It's one of those pieces in a wardrobe that fit well, is fairly simple.. so in other words I'm attached to it.

Following on with my 'It's getting warmer!' vibe, I thought I'd incorporate the jacket into my style diary. I do love a houndstooth print, it has to be just right and I think the jacket with the black and grey works well. For  this look I paired the jacket with a navy deep neck singlet, shorts shorts that I made out of a pair of unwanted jeans and my new favourite my Unif Hellraisers (my loafers) !!

Accessorising I went for my MARTAN Antique Turquoise Ring and a Clutch I made myself.

Unif Hellraiser

Continuing from last week's FF, I'm currently into shoes. 
Flat, heeled, coloured, textured I love love love them all. I've had my eyes on these studded loafers from Unif for a while and I'm eagerly awaiting my size to be available. 
They are a unisex shoe (not that that ever stops me) so anyone can enjoy this great shoe!
