Hey girls, thought I would share with you my current ‘wishlist’ & the images that have inspired these cravings!  I am having trouble finding somethings on it, and by this I mean I  can’t afford the leather skirt I want (hello PU) and can’t justify Miu Miu Sneakers, so I am on the hunt for more justifiable options!!

I (daily) go through fazes of wanting new pieces for my wardrobe. I don’t like wearing the same thing twice, and like to play around with different looks. I think from working in fashion boutiques, I have become accustom to having lots of options when getting dressed!

Lately I have been trying to cut my wardrobe down to basics. Like quality blazers and t’s. I am aiming for a wardrobe of luxurious basics & statement party dresses. Right now I am working on the basics collection..  

1. Nude Leather Pencil Skirt 

2. A White Blazer

3.   This LBD - from ASOS, its only $70 and will be mine by Sunday night Im sure! Its just so easy! I have a similar witchery purchase that I have lived in this summer! 

4. These Zippora S&B Jeans - Perfect wash for little bottoms like mine! Please go on sale.. 

5. Sneakers that I can wear with dresses & leather shorts 

6. New Black Sandals -These are the Jezabel Sandal by witchery, they also came in a lust worthy nude colour that has sold out! 

7. Shirt Dress -This baby is available from Green With Envy

8. White Skinny Leg Jeans 

TO BE CONTINUED….

Shining some light on iridescent! The mini trend that has me craving a wardrobe inspired by Ariel’s tail! There is just something so mystical and intriguing about this glistening trend that makes you want to jump on board! 

Want to invest? I say tread lightly by spending your spare change on accessories! Try adding a splash of shine to your day with a shimmery nail polish! Or checkout Dion Lee for a luminous knit option that is sure to leave you gleaming. His Lunar Tides range is reminiscent of the moon; made from light reflective fabric & glass particles that reflect in direct light or camera glow (available now from Desordre).

Hi Em! 

I am always spying, wishing, wanting & buying so change of season is a great excuse for me to ‘justify’ a little extra shopping!!

I try to create lists of things I need or want to add to my wardrobe! This helps me stay on track, make smart purchases & stay within my budget! 

There are a few key pieces I am on the hunt for! I always take my time when shopping! I am definitely not an impulse buyer! I think though every purchase (sometimes for months) before handing over the cash! 

I also make sure I shop around, purchasing items that I think are reasonably prices for their quality. I’m bit of a snob when it comes to what labels I like to purchase. I definitely don’t have a big budget (hello poor uni student) but I am very particular about which labels I buy. I like my wardobe to be organised, Peter Alexander for sleeping, Nike for working out, Kookai for basics.. etc. etc. Its a little (Im being kind, VERY) OCD. 

Anyway, I am currently on a mission to cull my wardrobe down to black & white basics and statement party dresses (like I said, OCD)!! 

My winter wishlist is as follows; 

A-Line Leather Mini Skirt: 

Leather is so hot for winter. I plan to live in my leather pants, so hope to add (another) leather mini to my wardrobe for those slightly warmer days! Amazing paired with an oversized knit!! The A-line shape will make this skirt easy to 'casual-down’. 

Thigh High Boots:

I have actually pre-ordered this pair from Tony Bianco. Perfect way to wear Dresses through winter! 

White Shirt:

I am saving for a classic Equipment Shirt (Status: Saving) from Net-a-porter.com -because the packaging will make it worth the wait! 

Leather Vest: 

ASOS & Country Road both have options however I am hoping to invest in real leather rather than faux. 

Bomber Vest:

I just purchased this Cameo Bomber from The Birdcage Boutique! Its a great alternative to the Josh Goot quilted vest (for a fraction of the price). Unfortunately its currently sold out, however give the girls at the BCB an email, as its being recut in april in a leather-look fabric!!

Cropped White Knit Jumper: 

This beautiful Nicholas Knit is available at Splice Boutique!

Black  Jumper: 

I have my eye on this brocaded jumper by Nicholas, again available at Splice Boutique! 

For All Enquiries contact the girls on (02) 99050790 or 'like’ their facebook page for details on new arrivals, sales and more.. 

Every-day boots:

I am in desperate need of winter foot-wear! On the hunt for black, flat ankle boots that I can wear everyday! I just bought these Alexander Wang inspired Kori boots. Sad to say I couldn’t justify spending the extra dollars with so many affordable copies around!! In saying that, I still need a boot thats a little more versatile. 

Easy Dresses: 

Black, mid-length, paired with ankle boots ( that I am yet to purchase), big coat ( also yet to purchase) and waaa-laa! I have already found some great options at Kookai! 

White Blazer:

A classic wardrobe staple! I recently scored myself a sportsgirlbargain!!

Long Line Coat: 

I am all about warmth this winter! On the hunt for an oversized blazer coat! As seen on the runways of Ellery & Marc Jacobs! Hopefully in a cream or beige! Nicholas has some great options with prices starting around $600. 

As always, this list is ever growing and I would be hear for days if I listed everything I plan to buy but I hope this gives you some idea of what I will be adding to my wardrobe this winter!! 

Thanks for your question!! xxxx

Painterly prints & exquisite embellishment are in the frame for spring. 

This look first caught my eye during London Fashion Week with Kate Eary AW13. I would like to think Eary’s take on the graphic trend, emerging from Givenchy, is just a taste of what we will see trending the catwalks and streets (bloggers will be all over this) during spring later this year! I loved Eary’s creative repetition of crab claws!!  

Leading the way are designers like Mary Katrantzou, Peter Pilotto & Michael Van Der Ham. 

Work this look with understated make-up & a low sleek pony, adding black heels to refine.
