flowerchild.

so i bought this stunning flower crown from CJS a couple of months ago. these beauties are handmade by byron bay local charlotte julia stone. 

this photo was taken one warm afternoon whilst B and i were exploring a hidden, overgrown spot in my hometown. although it is impractical for everyday wear i'm still so in love with it.

winter warmers.

i'm not sure about other states but the cold, crisp winter weather is definitely beginning to set in here in adelaide so i thought i'd share with you some of my favourite recent purchases to combat the chills! 

senso benny 1 boots

sass and bide the dark cloud zippora jeans

shakuhachi gypsy sweater dress (i'm yet to get a photo of myself in this baby) 

seed fur trim anorak (same deal with this)

aaand totally weather inappropriate, but just because i can't get enough of  leopard print or vampy shades of purple/maroon lippy...

sass and bide age of love bralette + mac hang up lipstick 

...or stripes. striped short/ long sleeve tees are literally taking over my wardrobe! 

seed striped primetime linen tee

make my heart sing.

karen walker 'the number one' sunglasses in crazy tortoise

willow silk 'basic cami' in dijon 

 

 

zoe karssen 'bat jersey'  

 

mac 'up the amp' lipstick

sass and bide 'room service' leather shorts

these are a few goodies i'm currently in the process of acquiring. yum.
autumn is without a doubt my most favourite season fashion wise, therefore i tend to invest more money into my wardrobe. i love the sort of weather that is cool enough to sport knits and ankle boots, but still warm enough to comfortably venture out with bare legs. i don't know about anyone else, but i also seem to have more skill at 'putting together' autumn/ winter outfits so feel happier with what i'm wearing the majority of the time.
one thing i'm going to try my hardest to avoid doing this coming season is impulse buying- i have a terrible habit of doing this, particularly when i'm feeling depressed. nine times out of ten my impulse purchases are worn once (sometimes not at all!) and are usually 'trend' pieces that i eventually get over. i recently culled my wardrobe and developed a list of items that i really need (and know i will wear to death) for the colder months so i plan to strictly adhere to said list.

wang.

 

 

today i received a very exciting surprise in the form of an alexander wang diego!

considering i've been lusting over this bag for ages now i thought acquiring one deserved its own post.

B has had to listen to me rave on about how perfect the diego is for months now so without me knowing he took advantage of shopbop's recent sale which included alexander wang and bought me my own baby with rose gold hardware.

technically it's my christmas present from him but knowing how over the moon i'd be when unwrapping the parcel he couldn't wait until the 25th, but i'm not fussed!

and might i add, the diego definitely did not disappoint- i can't stop staring at it, it's so stunning.

i know some people have been turned off by its weight, and i'll admit, it's probably the heaviest bag i've owned but i'm more than happy to overlook this minor downfall because i'm in love with the style and the rose gold is so pretty.

 

i'm definitely one happy girl right now!



winter wants.
