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.

Little black jacket

Everyone has a LBD (little black dress) in their closet, a faithful and trusty friend but I also think that every wardrobe should have a LBJ (little black jacket). My LBJ was a gift from my beloved when we first met, a Christmas pressie over 15 years ago from Karen Millen. A tuxedo style jacket will never date and is worth investing in, you can dress it up or down and just like the LBD can become a wardrobe staple. I've teamed mine here with another trusty friend, the stripey T and a scarf from Mimco ($2 in a warehouse sale), bright pink heels from Best and Less.

Gie's yer Jaiket

 It's freezing and wet in Melbourne, everyone is talking about the weather, "Brrrrr, cold again today huh", "This has to be the coldest day on record", "My fingers are like, frost bitten!", obviously the latter was a slight exaggeration, but for the purpose of this post IT'S BLOODY FREEZIN!

You may have noticed that I have been very conservative with my buying of late due to impending NY trip, only 5 months to go! Weeeeeeeeee. Sometimes you just can't go by a bargain and when I saw this jacket in KMART, yes people KMART for $29, well I just had to buy it. It's the coziest jacket I've ever owned and perfect for the BLOODY FREEZIN WEATHER. I also scored a blue pucciesque scarf in Target for $3 (I have the same scarf in pink and I forever get compliments when I take it out, bargain).

Two looks - one outfit

I've had a really busy day at work and feel the need to park myself on the couch so I'll keep this brief. Here's an outfit I like to take out by day and by night.

Trousers: Cue samples

Tee: Threadless

Belt: Somewhere in Glasgow

Khaki jacket: Kinki Gerlinki

Suit jacket: Karen Millen

Clutch: Gorman

Boo boo be do

After the success of my last online tee purchase from Threadless I went on a little search for some new designs, and came across this tee from Wowch. I loved the combination of Marilyn and the dream catcher, ironic that her dreams led to her demise (or who knows! Whole lot of conspiracy theories there). I've tried to give you my best Marilyn pouts but lets just say I'm a work in progress. The trousers pictured I found at the back of the wardrobe after tackling a shambles of a mess, my wardrobe normally looks like a bombs hit it; total opposite of my beloved who organises his wears military style. I bought them on my last trip to Glasgow from an old favorite Zara, also purchased this fab jacket from Cruise, Queen Vivienne if you may. Come to think of it the shoes were from that trip too, ah those were the days!

Tee: Wowch

Trousers: Zara

Shoes: Prada

Belt: No sure

Bag: P.A.M

Jacket: Vivienne Westwood

Watch: Gift

Bracelet: Kinki Gerlinki

Khaki in or out

The combat Khaki look swings in and out of fashion. I bought this jacket three years ago from Kinki Gerlinki, whether it's currently in fashion or not I have no idea. I'm not really one for trends and my style normally evolves from how I feel when I wake and more often what I feel most comfortable in. I've always been a fan of this mob, who work the combat/camo look so well. If your a fan on my facebook page you might have seen the images I posted earlier this week. Inspired, here's my combat/Khaki look.

Jump suit: French Connection

Jacket: Kinki Gerlinki

Blue biker inner rock weekend

Had another fabulous weekend in Melbourne city, glorious weather, a rather drunken gig with the ladies on Friday night and plenty of family time down the beach - perfection!

Friday night, Eddy Current Suppression Ring at The Palace Theatre. I accepted a ticket for this gig not knowing anything about their music but well, what a night! Australian live music at its best: loud, punk, rock, crazy front man in PJs and slippers (he staged dived and made his way around the whole venue with mic in hand), fans of all shapes and sizes following in appreciation, legs n arms everywhere, heads bopping in unison. I've been to this venue before to see 'Florence & The Machine', an equally amazing gig. I like loud gigs with a bit of kick arse. Got me feeling all rock chick. Let me introduce you to my blue biker, teamed with an old favorite.

Jacket: Red Dog3

Dress: Kookai

Sash: Mimco

Shoes: Charm & Chic

Beads: Gift
