W and I had plans to head to the Bastille Day Markets in North Sydney but got off at the wrong train stop, so we ended up by the water in Kirribilli just by chance. What a stunner of a Winter’s day huh? I actually wore this out all afternoon without an extra layer! This dress was from last Summer in Athens and the sleeveless biker is a new acquisition that I will definitely be wearing a lot in the coming days.. I know, I’m already cracking out the all-white outfit in anticipation..

I’ve been talking to a girlfriend about our bag collection - we’re debating if older bags we no longer use should be sent to consignment stores or not. Do you keep your bags or do you sell them off to make room for more? I’ve just about hit that point where I really don’t have the room for any more.. and I’d like to make room for this gorgeous Pashli satchel from 3.1 Phillip Lim. I saw this on Mary when she was in Sydney and it just looks amazing in person!
Also, here are a few other things I’ve been crushing on this week. A blazer from Zara that reminds me of a stylized ringmaster jacket (in a good way!!) and some wooden wedges I’ve wanted all Summer but only finally found, ironically now.. also these leggings that I wish came in a normal size and more stacking rings!

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 :)

Something about the cross strap of this bag is strangely appealing. I haven’t been able to stop obsessing since I saw it last year on the messenger version! So. Much. Love! Especially besotted with the linen exterior – a really nice change up from my arsenal of leather bags :)

I’ve found the perfect alternative to these sold-out Theyskens’ Theory wedges (left) I’ve been lusting after for a while. I never got round to buying them because I couldn’t really justify any kind of cost-per-wear when I only wear heels about once every fortnight. But I snapped up the Topshop version (right) as soon as I saw them on sale today – at least without the hefty price tag, I won’t feel too bad about adding some screw-on cone spikes to the back heel!
