Double Denim

  

Not being one to shy away from some double denim action I wore a few variations of the Canadian tuxedo to meetings this week. In this instance I paired my go to vintage blue wash denim shirt with some noir hued second skin skinny jeans. Given my preference for pairing loose pieces with those that are fitted denim equilibrium was easily achieved with a cheeky half tuck.

Steve Madden / Nine West SS13

Regardless of whether Mondays are your friend or foe, add some cute shoes into the mix and you are sure to have a spring in your step. On that note here are a few of my favourite styles from the upcoming Steve Madden and Nine West Spring/Summer 2013 collections. 

I was particularly drawn to the strong monochromatic heels across both collections that would look amazing paired with corporate vibes, rolled up jeans or a twirly dress. My inner magpie also very much appreciated the shiny touches through some serious metallic pumps and shimmering glitter loafers.    

Until next spring rolls around I am all about ankle boots and these black patent pumps.

Palm Trees

 

I have come to the conclusion that transeasonal wardrobe dilemmas are easily remedied with the addition of palm trees, or any piece from summers past for that matter. After all it is all in the mindset. The summer nostalgia so to speak. 

In this instance the fluctuating temperatures between morning meetings and an afternoon picnic in the park required some palm tree paradise vibes and trusty khaki layering. This khaki jacket has outlasted the majority of the pieces that have come into my wardrobe. Considering the $20 price tag that was attached to it (I love sales!), this piece gives leather jackets a serious run for their money. That being said I have been pondering biker jacket possibilities for quite some time...

Striped Sundays - Golden

 

This weekend was spent savouring the remaining golden Summer-esque weather here in Sydney, that still allows for outfits like this cropped situation. After numerous proclamations of denim love I finally got this high waisted second skin in black. I am looking forward to pairing these jeans with various layer parties and serious ankle boot action during the cooler months.  

Until then, let the cropped times roll.

Crisp 36

Whilst sorting through my ever growing magazine collection I came across this old issue of Self Service (Issue 36), which also happens to be my favourite edition thus far. That reminds me, I need to pick up the latest issue... 

Anyway getting back on track one reason why I love this issue is the serious crisp vibes in this smoking editorial. Come to think of it my recent white on white action may have subconsciously stemmed from these glossy pages. 

Here are a few pieces that I felt resembled the mood of this editorial. My trusty Phillip Lim clutch continues to be my monochrome sidekick and has made the best of friends with these fine silver beauties and cocktail ring that packs a sartorial punch. 

Happy Friday!
