The Edit...My Picks of the Newness at Bardot

As some of you may know, not only am I an avid Bardot lover, but I also work there on a casual basis in between clients, photoshoots and meetings (somehow I just can't seem to let go of retail). It has occurred to me over my last few shifts just how much amazing new stuff we have received at work and I just had to show you!

All of these pieces can be mixed and matched with each other for the perfect on-trend Autumn wardrobe. I am really REALLY struggling to not buy any of these things, but I have a feeling I may cave very soon, especially for those amazing boots!

Here are my picks of the new pieces at Bardot:

Khaki Anorak | Arrow Tip Boot | Holy Chic Tee

Leatherette Gym Shorts | Metal Belt | Boyfriend Jeans

Khaki Sweater  | Quilted Bomber | Luxe Backpack

 Quilted Leatherette Skirt | Hooded Sweater | Wrap Skort

What I Wish I Wore

I know this post is slightly different from the usual, but my own outfits last week left me feeling a little blah. So instead of boring you all with a whole bunch of monotonous shit, I decided to take you all into a fantasy world of what I wish I wore (which is wayyyyy more exciting, trust me).

I've recreated the outfits using items you can actually buy (yippeeeeee!) so if you click on the pictures, it will take you straight to the website where you can all go and spend your money as I currently cannot. Insert sad face here.

So, without any further ado, here is what I wish I wore.

Look 1: Black is the new black.
Olivia Palermo is possibly my most favourite style icon. She always looks feminine and put-together. I'm seriously digging this leather on leather on scuba on fur thing she's got going on. The way to wear all black without being boring is to play with texture, and this is the perfect example.

   

Look 2: Boyfriend Jeans

This particular style of jean can be really difficult to pull off, especially if you're like me and you're not a supermodel. I have tried a few styles of boyfriend jeans and so far, they have all failed to make me look like Rosie Huntington-Whitely but I will not give up! I will keep trying them until they do!

    

Look 3: The Tuxedo

Ashley Olsen knows how to work a tux! A more stylised take on the classic suit, a tux is definitely a little more dressy than your average suit, not to mention wayyyy more interesting. I love the classic white button up underneath and slick hair. Perfection!

Look 4: Summer

Rachel Zoe, apart from being one of the best dressed women in the world, is also an amazing stylist and designer. I really love her 70's vibe she injects into everything while still staying modern. LOVE HER. The Spanish Dress from Saboskirt is the perfect version of this for our Australian Summer.

    

Look 5: Winter Sports Luxe

The ever stylish and beautiful Miranda Kerr. Loving this wintery look, and so on trend with leather shorts, chambray shirt and an oversized jacket.

  

And there you have it! The outfits I wish I wore last week, with where you can get them at affordable prices. I promise once the weather clears up that I will post another video!

Have a great day!

Layering, Hats and Black on Black

Apart from a very random heat wave, Brisbane finally saw some cooler weather and a fair amount of rain! Cooler weather means better, more exciting fashion and layering, which also means I get really excited about getting dressed!

So, here goes....last week's outfits!

Their website is www.glassjazz.com.au or you can find them on Facebook here www.facebook.com/pages/Glass-Bar/113676775437550. It was great to catch up with some awesome people in the fashion industry and just have a few quiet beverages (on a school night! So naughty!)

Wednesday was such an awesome day, I went op shopping with my mum and grandma. One rule of my challenge is that I can't buy anything new....which technically means I can buy second hand! I bought a sh*tload of stuff which I will do a haul video on when the weather clears up so I can show you all how I style everything.

On Friday I had work at Bardot and it was really bloody hot! But I was on a roll with my layering, so naturally, I had to try and keep it going. We are babysitting the next door neighbour's dog Star at the moment, and she's a bit of a camera-whore if you ask me.

Say Hello To My Little Friend!

If you read my previous blog post or follow me on Facebook and Instagram, then not only are you obviously very cool, but you would know that there is a very small and cuddly addition to my family. If you don't follow me on Facebook or Instagram, do it. You are seriously missing out.

With that out of the way, I would like you all to meet Moonboots!

She comes from a purebred Ragdoll mummy and an unknown Daddy (seems to be the way these days, especially on MTV shows or Jerry Springer) and she is literally the size of my hand, or a guinea pig.

If you don't think she is cute, there is something seriously wrong with you!

I will keep you guys updated about her adventures, she seems to be quite the explorer!

Until next time....thanks for reading!
