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! :)

Oddly enough the weather in Sydney has been nice enough to still be wearing shorts, if the all the Australian Fashion Week street style photos floating around are any indication! What an exciting week huh? I have so much to catch up on!
In the meantime I’ve been looking for a few casual outerwear pieces to wear through the rest of Fall/Winter here because as soon as I got back from the tropics, it feels like the temperature has dropped by 10 degrees! I’m exaggerating, of course, but I did find these two khaki jackets while ironically shopping for dresses online. Kind of in line with the Kind of leaning toward the one on the left at the moment, but I also like the shorter more casual one on the right. What do you reckon? I’m missing the warmer weather already, ugh!

This week’s Friday Five was inspired by packing for my trip, and of course these are the pieces I wish I had with me. OK, I cheated a little and wrote this post before I left. The Zinke one-piece has this super cute removable peplum piece; it’s a little outside my usual style (one-pieces are not my thing) but I think it is pretty special, kind of feeling chevron right now. The Prism sunnies are the most perfect tortoiseshell ones I’ve ever seen – it’s going straight on my wishlist. The usual problem is that it’s hard for me to find sunnies that suit me well so when I find a pair I stick to it and have had mine for almost five years! Boring, I know – time for a change I think. Rag & Bone lending some Celine Cabas vibes on the beach and you can never really go wrong with a pair of coral shorts. As a bonus everything can be worn all at once; yeah I’ve just picked out my ultimate beach outfit for the weekend :)
