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!

Trench



This golden oldie is a surprise favourite of mine. The thought of a long coat overwhelms me emotionally and physically. I just feel like anything long swallows my frame, especially as I'm not the most tiniest person, vertically yes, but horizontally, no.

This old Zara trench has the best silhouette I've ever found in a trench. I wasn't really actively looking for a trench coat as they have never really appealed to me. During one of my lunch breaks a few years back and by lunch breaks, I mean Zara trips, and these Zara trips always resulted in a purchase. Lets just say I had to live on noodles for months. Zara had just opened in Sydney and I was completely smitten with anything and everything Zara. Anyways, I digress....where was I? Oh yeah, I stumbled upon this trench and the thing that drew me to it was it's amazing power shoulders. Everything was about power shoulders then. The bigger the better! The Dynasty wardrobe was definitely a great influence. Just lucky that the big teased hair wasn't in, or maybe it was and it just went over me.

I think the shoulder pads balances the whole trench out and this will definitely be a forever wardrobe staple.

Days Off



I usually have Fridays and Saturdays off, which is basically my weekend, but this week I only have today (Saturday) off and on my to do list was to sleep in and get a massage. Mind you, my idea of a sleep in is waking up at 7am or 8am, blame my body clock. Plus I feel like it's such a waste of morning if I wake up later than 9am, I love being a morning person, everything seems so much fresher in the morning. The feeling is even better when you know you don't have to do anything.

Enjoy the weekend!

Sculptures By The Sea



A few photos from Sculptures By The Sea in Bondi from November that I'd forgotten to share.

Unfortunately the day wasn't so great with dark clouds and rain for most of the time we were there. Though I was really lucky to have seen Bondi at sunrise and got some really cool pics just as the dark clouds were rolling in.

This is my 2nd year seeing Sculptures By The Sea, loved it the first time so I think this will become a yearly thing. I'm not going to pretend I understand art, but I love seeing the individual items and ponder what the artists thought process was when creating them. Plus the Bondi to Tamarama walk is always beautifully scenic, wet or not.
