Winter Wants

A few nice items I've seen around the place.

1. Patent lace ups from Topshop. These were at Karen Walker's Newmarket store when I was in Auckland. Not in my size though. // 2. Hansel from Basel polka dot bag which I did get from Ruby in Newmarket. As I made my purchase I realised I was wearing my Gorman t.shirt that has the exact same polka dotted pattern. Bit embarrassing.

3. The Twentysevennames Katherine dress is a winning combination of pleats + peterpan collar + navy // 4. I need a porridgy jumper like this for slobbing around in this Winter.

5. There are so many good stockings around! This pair are locally made in Melbourne by OKOK. I am sold on their polka dotted good looks, obvs. // 6. PAM Naomi Coat, because you can never have too many Wintery layers.

Obüs Winter

I popped into the Obüs Fitzroy store during the weekend and saw so many nice things. The elbow patch jumpers and cardigans especially won me over (anything with elbow patches generally does).

Obüs have really nailed the whole 'layering for Winter' thing with this collection. Right down to their matching stockings and socks. I would like one of everything please.

Cute Stuff #1

Deborah Sweeney's Sphere Cape aka The Cape of My Dreams. I want this for Winter but it's so vastly out of my price range (see online here). I'm on the hunt for a vintage version.

I've been growing my hair longer but this lady's do makes me want to cut it all off. Screenshot from this video.

OPI's shatter polish - I just found out about this via Natalie's blog. I love to paint my nails, but they always get chipped about 3 seconds after I've finished.  Shatter polish is perfect for my chipped nail aesthetic!

Ombre tights by Kron Kron, seen via Where the Lovely Things Are via Modish & available here! Perfect for the tights weather taking hold in Melbourne.

 

This blouse from Twenty-seven Names S/S11, collection seen via Lovelorn Unicorn. Hearts print + bowtie = ridiculous cuteness!

Hello Chilly

Summer is officially over down under. I am really looking forward to dressing for the cooler weather.

 {woolly jumpers! From Ruby, and… not sure}

Even though it's 30 degrees in Melbourne today, I'm still wearing stockings. I just like wearing layers!
