HOT HOT HOT!

It's crazy hot in Melbourne at the moment! It has become all about great breathable fabrics, so I wore my Zara cotton shirt that I got from Estonia earlier this year. It's really nice and thin, and I got it in XL because I think it looks better oversized.

MASCULINE FEMININITY

I am in love with YSL Spring 2013 campaign starring a female model Saskia de Brauw. It's like The Beatles meets Rolling Stones. Lately the whole women wearing men's clothes concept has been everywhere, especially when it comes to suit jackets, blazers, and coats. This ad campaign is great blurring lines between sexes, it feels kind of empowering!

LAST WEEKEND

It's almost holiday season and here come the Christmas parties! I'm not the one to wear a dress usually, as you probably know if you've been following my blog, but I like dressing up for an occasion. Have another party to attend next weekend. Another party - another dress!

QUICK SNAP

Happy Saturday! It's a hot day in Melbourne which is perfect as I'm off to a Christmas party thing. Here's a quick snap shot of what I decided to wear after changing my mind million times. And then it was the hair...I really need to learn how to make a decision and stick to it! I started with one hair do and then half way through changed it to something else and then again! Anyway, gotta run, I'll post more pictures of my outfit tomorrow! 

JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH

Every day is a casual Friday for me lately because I can't resist the comfort of those jeans! I think I won't stop before I've worn 'em with every top in my wardrobe. Any every shoe!

With the knit though...I think I've blogged about it before that it's one of my favorites because of the stitching on the outside. Really nice detail and that's what a good piece of clothing is all about! 

Basically the whole outfit is a combo of good old faithfuls that I wish would last forever!

TOPSHOP PICKS

My friend dropped off her old magazines the other day and the Topshop Fall/Winter '12 is awesome! Those patent burgundy boots, and leather vest, and oh those silverish pants! I already checked everything out online, I love that Topshop does international orders! Not sure how happy it makes my credit card though. But come on...those boots were made for walking! It's just that perfect blood red color that I failed to find in a form of a lipstick, so maybe the boots will make up for that...

CUT IT OFF?

I've been thinking of cutting my hair short again. Mainly because I want to get it lighter, which would seriously damage my hair so I would lose half of it anyway. The most annoying thing is that the color that I'm after is basically my own natural color. So growing it out is another much healthier but way more time consuming option. Either way I would need to cut it. I've had short blond hair actually, so it wouldn't be the first time. Oh what to do, what to do?

CLOSE ENOUGH

After the post about those super cool trench coats I got so obsessed over the idea of wearing trench with shorts. But as I haven't had a chance to go op shopping just yet then I thought I'll wear the closest thing I have to a trench. I've used this Witchery long knit thing mainly as a robe recently but it definitely deserves more attention so I'm glad I've re-discovered it. 

CHANEL PERFECTION

This is by far the best nail polish ever! I've never been this excited over a color and now I finally got my hands on it, yaay!

PERFECT COMBO

I've been noticing a lot of graphic tees around lately so I dug up what I've got. Here wearing my vintage doors t-shirt and J Brand boyfriend jeans,  really just can't get enough of them!

OVERSIZED TRENCH - YES PLEASE!

Gotta love living in a city where my wardrobe can be utilized pretty much all year round. This means I don't have to focus on summer clothes in the start of summer (which is now) as style wise it's not my favorite season. Fall is heaps more interesting! So anyway, I found these fabulous trench coats searching the depths of Internet today and I can't believe I don't own a single trench coat! Come to think of it, not sure I ever have. The last photo here is my favorite. That sluggish oversized look is just perfect, and it seems that it's just couple of sizes bigger. I'll add 'too big trench coat' to my op shopping list!

BOSS

Here're some of my favorite picks from Hugo Boss Orange collection. 

BARGAIN WITHOUT THE HUNT

I'm not a huge fan of self taken photos but I just wanted to show you this knit I got from Cotton On for $5 'cause it had a pull in the sleeve. It's nice and thin so, perfect for summer. I love when I find these things completely randomly, as it never ever happens when I decide to go shopping and spend a whole day running from store to store. 

PINSPIRATION

Here's a bit of pinspiration for the weekend. Love the color combination of teal and burgundy and especially the mix of fabrics. Fabulous!

WHITE

I'm really not the kind of person who can wear white and not spill on it, so today was definitely a challenge. Seeing a kid with a chocolate ice cream running my way freaked me out a bit. I'm still very surprised I managed not to ruin my outfit today. Not sure whether all white is my thing though, I'm probably too short to actually pull it off. Next time I'll add heels and a high hair bun or something.

ON MY RADAR

I'm starting to get a bit obsessed with the idea of wearing a bustier top with a blazer...or on its own. Basically, I really really want one now! Also, military is definitely 'in' again, although has there ever been a fall/winter season without it? I don't think it's all about the camouflage clothing, but military colors in outfits in general. I'm well prepared as I got a cool army back-bag from a flee market in Estonia earlier this year, and it's the real thing! Oh and my personal favorite obsession is the cut off denim. I've seen it in street wear before, but now I really want to cut some hems of my jeans. Only problem is I don't have a single pair I could bring myself to cut. So I'm thinking...get a really cheap pair from an op shop and get cutting!

All in all, I think all my picks here would go super good together, so I have a whole new outfit on my radar!

05112012

Today was just a beautiful Melbourne day. I love when it's warm but not too hot, it's cloudy so the sun doesn't burn, and it's not windy like usually. Wore my Alannah Hill statement necklace today, it's such a great piece as it really makes the outfit and no further accessorizing is required.
