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.

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.

FOR SALE: My Whole Life!

Just kidding!

I have been on a de-cluttering my closet (and life!) extravaganza, so below are items I need to let go as I have not even touched, worn or knew of their existence in the past few months.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any question. Email - pancakes2481@gmail.com or comment below.



 Michael Kors Mini Selma Neon Yellow


Purchased directly from the Michael Kors website as this colour was never available in Australia. I still have all the original packaging that the bag was sent in, as in plastic and stuffing paper, see picture #1. The leather is still in amazing condition and hardly worn. I take very good care of my bags and belongings in general. There is however a slight colour transfer on the back of the bag but is hardly noticeable at all, but worth mentioning, see last picture. This is just due to wear and unavoidable with a lighter bag.

Asking price is $360 + $24 shipping within Australia.
International shipping, please email me for a quote.
Payment must be made with Paypal or Direct Bank Deposit.






Isabel Marant Bekket in Black Size 36


Purchased pre-owned on eBay over a year ago so there is no box or dustbag. I am obviously the 2nd owner but I haven't worn this as much as I thought I would. I kept trying to make it suit me, but I've finally come to realisation that this just does not suit my short legs =( It's in excellent condition, the only thing is the colour transfer on the inside of the shoe, which is unavoidable with wear especially with dark jeans. This pair still retails in stores today for $700+, but I think this style has been renamed a few times every season.

Asking price is $500 + $30 shipping within Australia.
International shipping, please email me for a quote.
Payment must be made with Paypal or Direct Bank Deposit.






Isabel Marant Bobby in Gris (Grey/Beige) Size 36



Purchased brand new on Matches.com close to 2 years ago. I still have the original box and dustbags, but please specify if you wish to have the box as I'd need to quote a different shipping price with the box. Excellent condition, well taken care of. This style and colour still retails for $700+ in stores.
 Asking price is $500 + $30 shipping within Australia.
International shipping, please email me for a quote.
Payment must be made with Paypal or Direct Bank Deposit.




Isabel Marant Bayley in Lilas Size 36


Purchased brand new on Les Apartement De Juju. Only worn a few times and is still in excellent condition. This is a hard colour to come by, comes with 2 dustbags. Please specify if you want the original box as I need to quote a different shipping price.

Asking price is $500 + $30 shipping within Australia.
International shipping, please email me for a quote.
Payment must be made with Paypal or Direct Bank Deposit.




Balenciaga Suede City in Burgundy


Sadly selling this, but it needs to be used and go to a better home where it will be loved. In excellent condition. I have waterproofed this 3 times, once before using it and twice since then. I highly recommend waterproofing this at least once a year. This is obviously a used bag so it is not brand new. Handles show the most wear.

Asking price is $1600 + $30 shipping within Australia.
International shipping, please email me for a quote.
Payment must be made with Paypal or Direct Bank Deposit.




***SOLD*** Alexander Wang Diego Bag ***SOLD***


 I love this bag, but it needs to move on to a loving home where it will be used. It's in excellent condition with minor wear. There is some white patches on the inside zippered lining as per 3rd picture. This bag still retails for $875+ in stores.

Asking price is ***SOLD*** shipping within Australia.
International shipping, please email me for a quote.
Payment must be made with Paypal or Direct Bank Deposit.



Celine Trio (Small) Lipstick Red 


This also needs a loving home. It's pre-owned but in excellent coniditon. This has been well taken care of so there are no tears or issues with the leather, only minor wear. Purchased on eBay nearly a year ago, comes with dustbag and care cards.

Asking price is $900 + $24 shipping within Australia.
