Suede Accents

My Outfit:

Brown Suede Jacket - Temt
Black Roll-Neck Knit Top - Temt

Black High-Waist Skinny Jeans - H&M

Brown Suede Booties - Dotti

Cream Shoulder Bag - Colette

Hey lovelies! It's been way too long since I've done an outfit post, especially considering it's a major focus of my blog! But no worries, I'm getting back on track, I promise! I seriously loved wearing this outfit today, it's just perfect! The jeans and shoes are older pieces from my wardrobe, super comfy though. My lovely Colette bag is actually less than a week old, I snapped it up for only $45 on sale in Melbourne Central as a replacement bag to fit my laptop, books and other uni things in (although I love it so much that I'll be using it outside of uni too!

Now. The roll-neck knit and brown suede jacket. I'm actually in love with these pieces, they're both so soft and comfortable and I never want to take them off! What else are they? Well, I wasn't supposed to have them yet as it's about six days too early.... but they're part of my Birthday presents!
Oops!

The suede jacket though - it's so so soft and falls in a waterfall style, and it makes me look and feel amazing! Definitely a new winter essential right there. And let's not forget the knit. A simple black, roll-neck knit, I've been wanting one of these for a while now but the places I was looking (ShowPo, Beginning Boutique, Dissh, Melrose Avenue etc) all wanted $35+ for such a simple piece. Then I found this lovely one for only $15 at Temt, and I had to get it! It's so comfortable, can be dressy or casual, and perfect to wear all year round!

Anyway, today brings with it the end of my third week back at uni. I'm really loving the amazing campus, and the course is fantastic! It took a little while for me, having spent most of my schooling dreaming of becoming a Journalist and then discovering it was totally wrong for me. But now that I've found my vice in PR, I feel more excited and motivated than ever for my future!

Do you like my suede-themed outfit? And how have your last few weeks been, anything exciting happen!? Let me know in the comments section below, and thankyou for reading x

Khaki & Plaid

My Outfit:

Khaki Jacket - H&M

Oversized Plaid Shirt-Dress - Melrose Ave

Stockings - Big W

Black Boots - Famous Footwear

Yesterday was a pretty great day, albeit a cold one! Mum and I went in to the city for the day for some shopping & lunch (see my previous post on Gekkazan, the best Japanese food I've had in a long time)!

Let me just say, the shopping in Melbourne is amazing. Of course it is, though - after all, Melbourne does hold the title of Shopping Capital of Australia! I picked up some amazing bargains, with all but two of my purchases being dramatically reduced! *happy dance* I grabbed myself a new pair of black suede-feel boots reduced from $60 to $20, and a huge bag full of sale items from H&M for both mum and I, including the fab Khaki Jacket/Coat I'm wearing in these pictures! I'm actually considering doing a Haul post (or maybe even a Youtube video?) so if you'd be interested in that, please let me know! :3

Anyway. So the jacket is from H&M, and it's already one of my favourite pieces. I've wanted a khaki jacket for years now so I'm so so happy that I've finally gotten myself one! It's so comfy and surprisingly very warm considering it's not that thick! Perfect for layering!

My oversized plaid shirt-dress is also a relatively new purchase, from Melrose Ave. I've wanted one of these for a while now (ever since Kylie Jenner bought the shirt-dress look to my attention via good ole' instagram), and this one is just perfect! Super comfy and warm, lovely thick flannel material and (imho) looks great on! And of course, once again I've paired my outfit with my staple imitation doc's, my favourite and comfiest shoes!

You may not be able to tell, but it was super cold and blowing a gale when these photos were taken, to the point that I almost didn't bother! But then I spotted Melbourne's Parliament House and thought how great the photos would look taken on those stairs, and here we are! #priorities right?

What do you think of this look? Love it, or hate it? Let me know!
