Winter

Now this is a perfect winter outfit! I would wear this entire look in a heartbeat. At least I can say I'm the proud owner of this amazing bag. I saw it in Melbourne a few months ago, and it was one of those items I just couldn't walk past without buying. 

And I've learnt from experience that if you don't give in to those moments now and then you'll end up regretting it for years to come. (I'm still thinking about an amazing red trench coat that fit like a glove, and it's only been what now.... 8 years or so?).

If you love it- buy it!

Duck Boots

One day I'll make it to the snow, and I will be wearing some fabulous red duck boots! With snowflake leggings, of course...

Hot Pink

Pink is a wonderful colour- it's been my long-standing favourite for a while now. It's just such a happy colour! Hot pink in particular seems to attract me like no other, especially in nail polishes. The brighter the better.

Hot pink shares its fair burden of stigmas unfortunately; Barbie, bimbo, cheap... And used in the wrong way sure, it could very easily go down the trailer trash path. But as I always like to say-

'It's all about context!'

If you're going hot pink, tone it down everywhere else. It's like leopard print- amazing when used sparingly, and a Eurovision contestant tragedy when abused!

Emma Stone completely nails this colour...

Kalocsai

Maybe I just have a thing for colourful embroidery, but I find Hungarian kaloscai embroidery especially pretty. And how cool are these designs by Alice McCall..

Floral

As the weather here in Brisbane gets colder, I find myself in need of a winter coat. But I guess our weather is too temperate most of the year to warrant the shops stocking a good variety of coats and jackets. 

I'm definitely not one to dress from head to foot in dark colours for winter either. The weather's already so dull and depressing- I think everyone could do with some more colour in their wardrobes this season!
