Bare Minimum.

Witchery knit (very similar style  here), Tony Bianco "Alexa" boots, Alexander Wang "Diego" bag, Le Specs "Runaways" sunglasses


This outfit is wholly representative of how I have been dressing in this cool-but-not-yet-cold
 weather and, let's face it, how I like to dress pretty much all the time. One basic, neutral piece 
thrown on with a few heavy black accessories and...that's it. When it comes to minimalism, 
I clearly don't do things by halves. But you would all know this by now.


Meanwhile, the lucky winner of the Chip Chop! giveaway was Mandy - congrats you lucky
 thing! I shall be shooting an email your way shortly. Thank you to all who entered, it was 
great seeing so much love for the cape. There are sure to be more giveaways in the future, 
so if it wasn't your day today there are plenty more opportunities to come.


Hope everyone is having a lovely start to the week.

Pop Trash.

Country Road silk shirt, Acne "Pop Trash" jeans (still like these, these and these for that same distressed boyfriend 
look), Alexander Wang 'Rafael' bag, Karen Walker 'Number One'sunglasses, 2 baia vista sandals.


Yeah, so...this happened. The jeans, that is. There was one pair left on My Catwalk, in 
my size, on sale. There really was nothing else to be done. Looking forward to styling 
them up with heels for an undone evening look soon enough, but for now I am quite happy 
pairing them with flats for that lazy weekend/off-duty effect. Luckily I think my height lets 
me get away with doing so. Thinking these will loosen up further and stoop to an even 
slouchier level, which will likely make me love them that much more. Consider me well 
and truly on the boyfriend jean bandwagon.


On a completely unrelated note, I found out yesterday that my blog is a finalist in the 
2012 Ultrabook Pedestrian.tv Blogster Awards, yay! You can vote for your favourite, 
so if you feel like my little slice of cyberspace stacks up against the other awesome fashion 
blogs out there, I would absolutely love your support. You can vote simply by clicking

Weekend Shift.

Chip Chop! Bellsleeve Midsommar Dress, my sister's Tony Bianco "Simone" boots, Le Specs "Runaways" sunglasses


A little candid from my Sunday afternoon. This Chip Chop! dress is the perfect throw-on
piece - it's equally sophisticated as it is casual and just so comfortable. Shift dresses like this
were made for lazy weekend wanderings I feel. Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend,
and don't forget to enter my giveaway!

Chip Chop! + Modern Legacy GIVEAWAY.

Super-excited to be teaming up with incredible Australian label Chip Chop! to give all 
of you a chance to win this beyond awesome 'The Girl In The Black' Cape from the new 
Nordic But Nice collection. Made from 100% cotton fleece with genuine leather trimming 
and buttons, it will keep you looking sleek and stylish all through the cooler months. I have 
styled it up for you here in a somewhat Parisian-esque manner (cannot stop throwing on 
this Bassike dress - love stripes!), but really the options are endless with this piece as it's 
just so versatile, it can be thrown over anything.

All you need to do to be in the running to win this winter staple is:

1. Follow (or continue following) me on Bloglovin' here;
2. 'Like' this post on Bloglovin' here; and
3. 'Like' the Chip Chop! Facebook page right here.


Easy! Make sure you leave a comment below this post with your email so I can contact you 
should you win. Entries close midnight Saturday 26th May AEST, with the winner to be 
drawn at random from the comments below this post. This giveaway is open internationally 
to all readers, so get involved and tell your friends!

Proportional.

Zara coat, Witchery dress, Zomp heels, Karen Walker "Number One" sunglasses, Alexander Wang "Rafael" bag


My final outfit from the fashion week that was. I enjoy playing with proportions with my
 outer- and inner-wear if you had yet to notice. It's a great way to add interest to outfits that
 are otherwise entirely ordinary, like this head-to-toe black and white ensemble for instance. 
The lesson? When in doubt, throw something long over something short as per my last post, 
or vice-versa as per above. Any outfits built on basics can be made more interesting this 
way I feel. Meanwhile, I am (finally) launching a pretty sweet giveaway tomorrow. I so 
wish I could keep what I have for you for myself, but if I must give it away I'm glad it 
will be to one of you lovely individuals. Stay tuned...

Flasher.

UNIF 'Flasher' Trench from Beginning Boutique, MINKPINK top, Shona Joy shorts, Zomp heels, Zara clutch (similar here) 


My outfit from the third day of MBFWA. I am wholeheartedly into the long-trench-
thrown-over-short-lengths look - I feel it makes even the skimpiest of outfits look almost 
winter appropriate. I say almost only as I think I was probably pushing it somewhat with 
the bare legs on a few of my days in Sydney. I persevered, though. I persevered. You 
can take the girl out of Queensland...

Knits On The Harbour.

Zara coat, Witchery knit, Alexander Wang 'Rafael' bag, Alexander Wang 'Colette' sandals, Le Specs 'Runaways' sunglasses


This is what I wore on day number two of MBFWA. Stumbled upon this crazily good knit dress
 in Witchery a few weeks ago and have basically worn it every other day since. Need to go back 
soon to see if there are any other colours, actually. Knit dresses are the shirt dresses of winter in 
my eyes, and a true staple for me in the cooler months. This Zara coat was also attached to my 
shoulders practically all week as well. It is currently in stores in Australia (I just purchased the 
black version of it too), and has such a perfectly slouchy, cocoon shape I cannot get enough of it. 
It is everything I have ever wanted outerwear to be, put plainly. Hope you are enjoying my 
fashion week outfits - I am working on a little post of my favourite snippets from the shows I 
attended as well as more of what I wore, so definitely stay tuned.

Day One.

UNIF 'Flasher' Trench from Beginning Boutique, Bassike dress, Alexander Wang 'Rafael' bag,
Tony Bianco 'Alexa' boots, Le Specs 'Runaways' sunglasses


Finally back home with my laptop and a working internet - let the fashion week posts
finally begin. This was the outfit for day number one. Read: what I wore on the plane ride
down, plus red lipstick. It was all about comfort for the first day, seeing as I hadn't even
checked into my hotel yet and had needed to scope out the walk from there to the shows.
Ankle boots were definitely the right choice for that day. Most, most definitely.

For Comfort.

Ash 'Bowie' Wedge Sneakers (similar here), Don't Ask Amanda shirt dress

Currently living in this spotted shirt dress/wedge sneaker combo. In the lead up to what is no doubt
 going to be one crazy fashion frenzy next week, any outfit this simple and comfortable is highly attractive 
to me right now. I also have an exciting giveaway coming up this weekend in honour of Australian
fashion week too, so stay tuned...
