fire and the thud


It's never happened to me before! And when I say that,  I mean me liking brown/ tan accessories more than my trusty black! Since buying my boots last weekend I have been noticing that I am gravitating towards all things brown! It's a brown Vs black sort of afternoon.

(Clockwise from top left)

1. Alibi hat - I have a tan version of this but the dark brown looks cute as well!

2. Marcs hat - Seems like it's the perfect amount of floppy. If that makes sense!

3. House of Harlow Sunglasses - I was so happy when I stumbled across an article on Nicole Ritchie saying she was now adding Sunnies to her collection. Who better else than the sunglass queen herself to design sunglasses!

4. Finsk heels - So wish I could justify paying this much for heels I'd probably only wear once.

5. Chaos and Harmony wedges - A new, New Zealand brand! I think they look like a mix between Opening Ceremony and Surface to air

6. Karen Walker Number One Sunglasses - Karen you're my fav.

jeremy Scott X Swatch



You probably know the 'winged shoes' he designed for Adidas as they were featured on about 10, 000 tumblrs lately. Now, Jeremy Scott can add a collaboration with Swatch under his belt as well. I am a big fan of the "lightening flash" and the "winged swatch". I love the cartoon feel of them. I'd probably give the "Opulence" a miss though, I don't really like the photo frame, it's a little too baroque-inspired for me. Do you have a favourite?

My very first watch was a Swatch from my Aunty - it had a hot pink band and a white face. My dog at the time decided it would be a tasty snack for him and chewed through the band. Mum got it replaced with this colourful band that had little geometric shapes all over it and it was never the same. I still have it somewhere....but I wonder where.

Featured: Swatch Opulence, Lighting Flash and Winged Swatch all three can be purchased here

Happy Hump Day,

black winter night


Really digging this Camilla and Marc fur goodness. It kind of reminds me of a cropped version of the vintage one i found a few weeks ago. You can buy it here if you want to keep snug this winter!

Still don't know how I feel about Lara Bingle.

hear me out


Photos from yesterday afternoon. While the boys skated, I took photos and Bec and I had a girlie catch up. It was awesome! We could talk for hours and and hours. After a while we even forgot how cold we were! Can't wait for Jonathan and I to go and visit them in two months time!

Enjoy x

pop goes the world


I am so, so , so tired. I'm even yawning whilst typing this post. My sister and her boyfriend came up to stay a few nights, which has been amazingly awesome! I love her coming to stay. She is basically a 5'4" version of me. Okay, maybe not but our personalities are so similar.

Yesterday we dragged the boys around the shops. My sis bought some Ksubi jeans and I bought these brown distressed boots. I have been looking EVERYWHERE for boots like this. The only other ones I liked like this were the Jeffrey Campbell's, but I still wasn't 100% sold on them.I saw these and they're perfect. I probably shouldn't have spent the mulla as we're moving in two weeks, but what the hell. They're leather and they'll last me forever. $220 well spent!

Looking back on the past few posts I realise my shoe obsession has reached an all time high. Oops.

I am a little sad tonight as I had to say goodbye to my sister just before. I hate saying goodbyes - they're the worst. I think it's time for a wine.

Hope you had an awesome weekend!

The last ride together



Thanks to knightcat I am now addicted to an online store called Stylenanda. You're now officially to blame for excessive credit card usage Cat. Haha. I just bought these Prada knocks. Obviously not as good as the real deal but they're rad nonetheless. I really am liking the offbeat brogue trend right now (hence this post and the green brogues from ASOS below). I am trying to get my hands on as many quirky lace-ups as possible for winter. They're a sure way to make a dull winter wardrobe interesting and of course colourful!

MY SISTER IS COMING UP TO PARTY TONIGHT AND THE NEXT FEW DAYS! IT'S HER BIRTHDAY TODAY. HAPPY BIRD-DAY SISTERACT. SO EXCITED!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Outfit posts to come!
