New mustard spotty tights



I love tights! My collection is huge, I despair when a favorite pair ladders. Last week, I spotted (ah, see what I did there) these mustard tights by Melbourne brand ok-ok. Fit is important, they sit snug and don't slouch, high on the waist, again important; nothing worse than a pair of tights that you need to yank every 5 mins. I reckon, I could easily own their whole range, so many beautiful colours and patterns and perfect to boost my Autumnal/Winter wardrobe. 
Did you have a good weekend? My weekend in Bendigo was absolutely perfect, I look forward to sharing a post with you later in the week.

The calm before the storm


Last week, Melbourne enjoyed beautiful Autumnal days, this week I'm reaching for my winter/rain coat. That's just Melbourne. These pics were taken last week before the new hair cut (thanks for all your lovely comments) with my new Canon D30 on the completing wrong setting but I like them. The colour says Autumn. I hope you like too.

Do you ever lose something at the back of your wardrobe and then realise you have completely missed the season to wear it? The other day, I found these Tommy Hilfiger shorts hiding at the back of my closet, and yes, Summer is well and truly over. I've never worn them with tights before but I think they just may pass into my Autumn wardrobe. Mixing of prints is on trend at the mo, I like the clashing of stripes and print with a love heart thrown in for good measure.
For a more polished look, I've added a coat I bought for $20 from RedDog 3 and my Melissa shoes with the gold heel detail. 
What do you think, shorts in or out of the closet??

The weather has been fickle in Melbourne this week, cold, raining one day, hot and sunny the next! Today, thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day and I took a stroll to the park just around the corner from my work to people watch and enjoy a coffee (love how my coffee cup co-ordinates with the outfit).
In other news this week, I treated myself to a mani/pedicure, loving the pastel colour combination, a wee bit of a change from my normal red/black combinations.

my best Angelina Jolie impression, ha, was it the right or left leg??

Apparently, tomorrow it will be back to cold and wet so until then I'll just sit back and enjoy the sunshine.
Have a good weekend, until next week.
Ps Note to self: I need to invest in some thick black opaques.

Autumnal look


Autumn my favourite season of the Melbourne calendar. Tights make a comeback - I'm so much happier with my legs covered in all colours of the rainbow. These tights, I bought from Fat last year and they are still in great condition, when I wear them people smile or take a second look. I like to provoke comment on the street, especially old ladies who give you the agreeable nod or the tween who sniggers with her friend while they walk side by side in matching outfits; either way, it's what makes me tick.
Sick of my doctor's bag yet? When I love an accessory, I find it virtually impossible to put down; it just goes with every outfit in my closet. Note to self: Next week give the bag a rest!  
Until next week folks, have a great weekend

Autumnal looks





With the changing in the seasons brings a wardrobe overhaul. Autumn is my most favoured season of the Melbourne calendar, I love the colours of the falling leaves and the clear blue but crisp mornings. Pictured here, with my recently purchased Nine West pink fleuro shoes and Target scarf, this time as a neckerchief (did I make that up?...I'm sure I heard or read somewhere that indeed was a term/trend). The blue jacket (looks leatherish but is actually PVC), a staple for some time, it's a great fit for me and a perfect accompaniment to this Autumnal look. Melbournians tend to dress in black over the cooler months, I'm a colour girl and prefer not to blend into the crowd.
