Sydney Autumn is now properly back on track and this outfit pretty much sums up my looks of late – lashings of black! Despite having plenty of outerwear options I find myself going back to this simply cut jacket with the notch detail. And I’ve been wanting to wear these shoes in a post for a while – apart from my usual staple sneaker/ballet flats combo I very rarely bother with much else, but love the masculinity it lends and am really digging the white contrast sole..

I’m highly partial to metallic things – maybe I was a magpie in a past life! In this life however, I find metallics the easiest way to add an extra point of interest to an outfit. Here are some I’ve been stalking this week, really loving the chain effect of the ASOS necklace and the classic simplicity of the Nixon watch. The JC booties have been on my radar for a while now but now they are on sale for around $50-$100 and I can’t decide if I should get the blue or silver ones..

It’s been a while since I did an outfit post. I’m in the middle of organising something at home so I don’t have to resort to random corridors. This sweater is the same one from my last Friday Five post. It was sold out in my size so I sized up.. unfortunately it looks a bit massive on me (considering I’m about 5’8″ in flats). I still really like it though, and wonder if anyone has any tips for shrinking it.. in the dryer? Is that a crazy notion?

I found my other memory card, so here are a few more snaps from my Bali trip from the wedding day! The morning ceremony was particularly funny – the groomsmen got hazed by the girls and ended up in fairy outfits. W and I had such a great time being a part of LC & Eugene’s wedding that took place at the unbelievably gorgeous Semara Uluwatu :)

I’m not sure what to make of the weather, yesterday was the hottest May day in 70 years yet it was so cold at the start of the week. Anyhow, the knits are out and so much fun to layer! I should post some outfits soon, but things have been a bit crazy and I’ve tried to compensate by updating my Instagram with what I’ve been wearing lately.

Here are a few pieces that caught my eye recently. Apologies if this isn’t quite relevant to my readers across the pond who are lucky enough to not be stuck with the cold! Currently a little more than obsessed with this pale mint Kain number. It just looks so comfortable and the perfect colour to complement the dropping mercury. Love the collar detail, and I think the only thing stopping me is the fact that I also dig this Theyskens’ Theory in a similarly muted mint that borders on being a cool grey.

This past season Alexander Wang knit is perfection. I know because I have one in grey. So is this Sass & Bide one with their signature metal embellishments – love all the little details and wish I could afford it all! :)
