Nudie

Ever since last winter, I kept saying how much whites and nudes I am going to be adding to my Summer wardrobe and it seems it's going to flow into my Autumn/Winter wardrobe too.

While jewelled tones like burgundy, navy, sapphires and khaki greens will be huge for the colder months, all those hues will work great against crisp fresh whites and nudes.

I am so glad the months are getting colder and that I can finally start to wear coats and leather jackets.

I am especially drawn to this Crombie style coat with it's clean lines and perfect lapel and giving that beautiful hint of rose-quartz like pink.

Auburn Botanic Garden Photo Diary

I love visiting new places I've never been to before, especially places you never even knew existed. The Auburn Botanic Gardens in Sydney's West is just utterly stunning with it's gardens and wildlife. Apart from the fact that I'm semi-afraid of large birds, the natural beauty of the garden just made me forget about the numerous large Peacocks strutting around the place. Thank goodness the Emu was behind a fence cos honestly it looked like it wanted to attack me when it was making gurgling noises.

I especially love the Japanese Garden with its waterfalls and large body of water. There's something calming about being close to water even if it's man made. Sydney is in the middle of Summer right now and the West is known to at least be 10 degrees hotter, so even though we were spritzing like sprinklers, it was all worth it for these stunning views.

What can I say about this vest? Well first of all, it's not a vest, its a dress, so it actually serves 2 purpose and it doesn't look bad being worn either way.

It's one of those clothing items that I think you either love or hate. I was initially iffy about it, is it just too trendy? Will I love it later on? To me, the answer is YES and YES! While I'm not into really "trendy" items, I however like out-of-the-norm pieces and this is one of those pieces. My boyfriend hates it with a passion. Usually when I ask him what he thinks about what I'm currently wearing, if he likes it, he will say "Yeah." (that's all I ever get!), or if he hates it or is confused by it, his reply is "Do you like it?", and his reply to this vest was the latter.

I'm never one to care what anyone thinks about what I'm wearing. If I like it, it's all that matters, yeah it's cliched, but in my time, I've had some very confusing items to some people. Very rarely do I come across anyone who has the same taste as me. Granted I dress very boring all of the time, it's only cos I dress for my lifestyle. I have nowhere Avante Garde to go, to wear something so ridiculous. But I think with this piece, I may start. If they're going to look, I'll make it worth their while, and probably cause some retina damage at the same time.

Lookout

A few months back, we had driven out to this lookout to see the full moon rise, only to find out the gates would close at 5pm, which is basically when the moon starts to rise during the Winter. So it was a failed attempt. But I'd always been curious to see what the place was like and the weekend gave us amazing Winter weather.

It's amazing to be able to see a glimpse of the high rise city buildings and The Harbour Bridge in the distance. I can only imagine how amazing a full moon would look in this lookout.

Lately I can't seem to stop wearing these converse sneakers. They are probably the oldest thing I own and they never really fail me. Plus I never thought I would think of white pants/jeans as a wardrobe staple. I'm glad they have been very forgiving, stain wise, I always stain light coloured bottoms. White jeans are a great look for any season, but during Winter just gives an outfit a crisp fresh look.

Have a great week!
