Chapel St attire

So yesterday one of my closets friends and I adventured to Chapel St in South Yarra and this was my outfit for the day :) 

The straight navy blue/greyish coat is from my mamas wardrobe that she bought all the way back in the 90s. I honestly love it so much, I think it's so perfect for winter. Knitted jumper underneath bought from Melbourne's very own H&M, Bardot black jeans, Eamon boots from Lipstick shoes, black Ralph Lauren scarf that one of my exes gave to me, a brand new Forever New quilted black handbag and a DKNY white leather strapped watch that my best friend bought for me for my birthday! 

Leather and denim

Who doesn't love leather and denim? Well I can tell you right now that leather and denim is my absolute favourite!!

They both go well with anything and just ahhh so my style and the both are so simple and timeless! Neither will ever go out of style! 

Super super sorry!!

Biggest ever apologies!

I have been super busy working on new things but I have lots of things for you guys coming up so please stay tuned :))

Quality or Quantity?

Is it the amount or is it the designer?

As someone who loves fashion it is always someone to consider questioning. 

Quality designer is always something that if anyone that can afford it would love to show off but a negative to expensive designer is the quantity of how much you are able to afford and get. Yes it is a nice feeling to show off the "latest" thing and everyone wants what you have and everyone has seen that new coat that you are wearing over that dress that is in the latest Chanel campaign but I've realised with a lot of people that aren't celebs and can't afford a huge amount of designer clothes that there is a lot of outfit repeats and also you cannot put your own personal style into it, it kind of just give it a style for you. 

Quantity of clothes, there is less possibility of outfit repeats (we all know that feeling after seeing someone for the first time and then seeing them again in that same outfit is soooo embarrassing). There are so many variety of outfits to choose from and the cheaper they are, the more, the more the better. 

I believe the quantity is much better than the quality. No matter how cheap something may be you can always make it look designer and as if its your own and you will have endless opportunities if you choose quantity. You can never make designer look yours because everyone knows its not. Making something your own and putting your own spin on things with a number of clothes gives you better satisfaction rather than wearing designer and not being able to put your own signature on it.

Rock your basics guys and dress it up anyway you want instead of being an outfit repeater and never having anything to wear.

Winter Wonderland in Australia

Call me crazy but Winter is here!! and I absolutely love love winter! 

The coats, the jeans, the pants, the boots, the scarves, the knits, layers on top of layers, it is any fashion lovers season to show off what their personal style really is. I feel like in summer everyone dresses the same, tank top and shorts and I just don't think people express themselves through their clothes in summer because it is such a basic season and there is not much variety to choose from. Expressing yourself through your clothes is what style is all about, and I can tell you right now I can't wait to see what everyone in Australia battling this cold posts about their new buys, finds and outfit choices. 

Here in Melbourne, Australia it is so so cold so from me you are going to be seeing a lot of boots, a lot of coats and cute long sleeves, ohhhh and wait of course a lot of black! (just to give you guys a heads up)
