Metallic hearts

Lately the Sydney winter days have been perfect for wearing knit jumpers and skirts. It is great not having to be weighed down by heavy clothing. 

I found these metallic brogues in Rennes, France earlier this year. Rennes is a great student town with many wonderful shoe shops.

Crochet collar

I am really liking crochet collars at the moment. They really do add a little something to otherwise plain tops, jumpers or dresses. 

I hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend!

New Shoes

Today I was meant to be looking for nude or tan patent flats, however came across these gorgeous shoes at Wittner. Needless to say I did not go home with flats. I had been eyeing the 'Ciara' style for a while and was ecstatic to find that both pairs of shoes were on sale!

Shoes: Both from Wittner

I like how a pair of trousers can dress up an outfit. Trousers are great pieces to have in your wardrobe for the times when you want to create a "day to night" outfit.

Take me back to the 60s

Photos by Lindsay Rowan

I really love fashion from the 60s. Many previous fashion rules were broken during this socially evolving decade, and were replaced with fabulous colours, prints and cuts. 

I was automatically drawn to the colour and detailing of this 60s style mac. The rounded collar and black trims on this coat are great. 

Today was spent brunching and dog watching in the park. I am still thinking about the very cute chocolate coloured labrador puppy I saw today. So adorable!

Red

I have been wearing a lot of red lately. I think it has become a bit of an obsession. 

I am enjoying a night of watching movies, snacking and catching up on emails. I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
