Coat



Coat weather is the best weather. I always pine for colder days, I just feel the cooler season brings out the best in fashion. Maybe it's my affinity for leather jackets, jeans and coats. Let's face it, Australian summers aren't so forgiving with those clothing items. 

I am currently crushing on this Forever New coat, as soon as I saw it, it was love at first sight and boy was it hard to go home and not think about it. You know what they say, "If you can't stop thinking about it, buy it." It's what shopaholics tell themselves so they can sleep at night, works well for me!

I love a beautifully detailed peacoat. From the amazing large lapels to the silver metallic buttons. The tiniest details, not just in coats, make a huge difference to a clothing item. Unfortunately I am a sucker for details. I also love the fact that is 71% wool so its extra warm and toasty. The coat is also in navy which is great as I have an aversion to buying black. I believe this coat was tailor made for me, it ticks all the right boxes.

From now on, I'm going to try and incorporate coats into my wardrobe. I used to heavily wear coats on my daily commute to work in public transport. Now, since I drive to work, the mornings just doesn't feel as chilly anymore in the comfort of your car, plus it's pretty hazardous driving to work in a big coat (arm movement very limited!).

Have a relaxing weekend!

Queenstown



I have been dying for a holiday since I got home from my last holiday in Dec 2012.

The Boy and I had to think about where we wanted to go as we both don't really enjoy the heat, as enticing as a beach and pool kinda holiday is, we wanted to do something a little different and after seeing a documentary on New Zealand a little while ago we both just thought that it would be the perfect place for our first overseas trip together.

Ever since I got here I've probably said the sentence "Oh gosh, how beautiful is it here?!" a thousand times and we've only been here for 1.5 days. I already do not want to leave! I definitely recommend visiting Queenstown, New Zealand.

It had forecasted 7 days of rain and overcast and we were super lucky to have had more sunshine than we expected today and fingers crossed this is how it will be for the rest of our stay here. 

The endless breathtaking lush green hills are so hard to capture in a photo. Snow capped hills are always on the horizon which is a picturesque contrast to the green and gold that sorround it.

I can't wait for the adventure ahead the next few days.
