Looking Forward to in Winter....

I feel somewhat crazy talking about what I'm looking forward to in winter, when Perth has been hit with a warm front and we're experiencing 35 degree celcius plus days. Ahh well, I can still dream about winter outfits can't I.

  • Firstly, I'm very much looking forward to pairing my skinny leather pants (complete with asymmetrical side zippers a la Kate Moss' pair) with all manner of loose fit/slouchy pocket tanks and tees/oversize sweaters, and vertiguous heels. The pants were one of my favourite op-shop finds ever, costing only $20 (plus $25 for 'skinny-fying' the straight legs)
  • my DIY attempt at the Alexander Wang holey sweater. I found a white-ish oversize sweater at an op-shop a few weeks ago, and took to it straight away, cutting out irregular patches and replacing said patches with something akin to mosquito netting! I adore this and cannot wait to wear it...amusingly, Stuart is enamoured by the DIY effort.
  • Inspired by Rumi of fashiontoast when she pulled off this incredible black Topshop sweater with chunky holes and uneven rows, I was more than stoked to see that MinkPink are currently selling the exact replica. Mmmm....now all that's left is to find the perfect sheer/mesh tank to wear underneath.
  • I gave in on the whole 'shoe ban' thing this weekend, when I stumbled across these babies for more than 50% off. From Siren ofcourse. I'm generally not a peep-toe kinda gal, but these shoes look so incredible on it's a moot point.

  • Leggings from Sportsgirl, including a space odyssey homage silver pair and the infamous sequin leggings (which there was apparently a waiting list for (??!!!?) and which I was pleased to see are incredibly well made). The sequin leggings were a gift that I shall covet for a long time. I'm meanwhile eyeing the sequin bomber jacket and the military-inspired leather jacket and convincing myself I really need one or the other, or both, but that's beside the point ;)

  • My long tuxedo style blazer jacket with cuffed sleeves from Valleygirl. Made of cotton, the skinny fit is perfection and will work over bodycon dresses/tees/fitted tanks/anything just wonderfully. Mmmm.

  • What are you looking forward to, for the next season?


    I'll leave you with these snaps from my birthday party a few years ago (and continuing with the "dress up" theme). The theme was A/C, my initials, so I was an Androgynous Crooner (Marilyn Manson) and Stuart was Captain Anonymous. I loved the effort everyone put in :)
