Saint Belford Curation 2019 Diary, Curation Sticker Set.

What better way to welcome the new year, then with a sparkling new planner and this blush beauty from Saint Belford has me smitten. What I’m loving about this diary are the fabulous little extras including a habit and savings curator, self-care menu and bucket list. There’s never been a more perfect time to invest in a thoughtful purchase to help evolve into the most goal oriented and organised you.

Crabtree & Evelyn Rose Fever Evelyn Rose Essentials.

Categorised indulgent and I couldn’t agree more! The Rose Fever Evelyn Rose Essentials gift pack by Crabtree & Evelyn is a heavenly fragrance of fresh rose petals and floral notes. With a shower gel, body lotion and hand therapy, my favourite pick from the set would be the Eau de Parfum for it’s luxe gold packaging and delightful scent of musk, amber, violet and of course, rose.

It feels like forever since Riverdale wrapped up an explosive second season, but I’m still reliving my favourite moments a la Netflix binge. There was so much to admire from a fashion perspective, from Cheryl Blossom’s opulent spider brooch, to Veronica’s pearls and preppy style, but none so iconic then the highly coveted, serpent jacket.

A mark of rebellion, upon watching Jughead Jones dramatically sling the leather jacket over his shoulders made me reach into my wardrobe for my leather jacket. Although it features a more feminine cut and sans serpent logo, I’m still feeling totally fierce in this timeless piece! *Cue Imagine Dragon’s Believer*

Styling a more edgy look than usual, I’m teaming my leather jacket with a flirty, flounce dress in a bold leopard print, available at NA-KD. I just love how the delicate layers move with wear, making this the perfect little dress for an evening out dancing with the girls.

For me, a good morning starts with steaming coffee and skimming over my instafeed, but a great morning involves a personal tour of the W18 collection at Zara Brisbane. What excites me about this collection is the eclectic mix of textures and fabrics; plaid, satin, silk and velvet, to name just a few. Invited to select some goodies from the new season range (no arm twisting needed), I choose an indulgent, yet practical piece that resolves a gap in my current wardrobe – that item being a faux fur coat.

Does one need one in this tropical Queensland climate you may ask? The answer is absolutely. Sure I have trenches, blazers, vests and the link to help me layer, but one thing I’ve longed for is a  faux fur coat to sling across my shoulders casually, or layer upon a cocktail outfit on a crisp night out.

I fell completely in love with the plush texture and snowy hue of this Combination Faux Fur Coat. Whilst some might find this piece a bit extra, I find it sophisticated and am reminded of the on-screen glamour of Lina Lamont (Singing In The Rain – for those of you that don’t quite understand the reference). This piece elevates a simple Wintery #ootd; comprised of a tweed mini dress, statement hat, sequinned clutch and my favourite suede boots.

Have you invested in a faux fur coat? I’de love to hear your styling tips, so leave me a comment below! x

Feather + Noise Felix Jumpsuit & Giselle Blazer; Adorne Fishermans Hat, Fur Ball Clasp Structured ClutchHoop EarringsDouble Layer Coin Charms Fine Necklace; Jo Mercer Wisteria Flats.

Ladies, it’s no secret that I love me a jumpsuit and I’ve been dreaming of styling up this Feather + Noise find since it hit the new arrivals online! No doubt it’s a strong, optical statement with it’s vertical stripe print and wide leg structure, but for me that just adds to it’s appeal, especially when teamed with the right accessories.

To transition this piece into the upcoming winter season, I’ve added a gorgeous blazer, also from Feather + Noise. I’m not sure which detail I love most; the double breasted ornate gold buttons or the structure seen in the shoulder pads. Either way this piece will be on constant rotation.

I’ve also added my very first pair of mules to my robe and the pearl details seen in this Jo Mercer style are simply divine. Not to mention, this shoe is a godsend for those girlbosses on the go.

Some final sass is seen through Adorne’s new accessories and girls, I’m O B S E S S E D! This is your one stop shop for any cuteness within the handbag, jewellery and headwear category.
