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

Brave + True Picasso Jacket, Granite Shirt, Bulletproof Skirt (available at Holiday Trading Co); Pandora Moments Sliding Leather Bracelet w/ Spiritual Dreamcatcher Charm,  Open Heart Necklace w/ Orange Tassel Hanging Charm & Spiritual Feather Necklace Pendant, Moments Double Leather Bracelet (worn as a necklace); Oroton Clutch (similar style here); Jo Mercer Ankle Boots (similar style here).

Masterpiece; precisely the word I used to describe this gorgeous suede floral jacket from my new found muse, Brave + True. This prized piece has been on constant rotation since arriving at TBS HQ, as it’s just so accessible with it’s earthy colour palette, bohemian charm and distinctly feminine floral print. Styling an entire Brave + True ensemble, I’m teaming this garment with a structured blouse and a buttery leather skirt in my favourite hue, blush pink.

This #ootd lends itself to any type of footwear, from cute brogues to a dainty heel, however, I’m keeping things casual (and chic) in a pair of Jo Mercer ankle boots (old faithfuls from a few seasons ago). These boots are perfectly suited to a morning wandering the grounds of a tropical hideaway.

A memorable mention, goes to Pandora who have released a Festival collection I am completely obsessed with. Featuring rich, tan leathers and trinkets depicting dream catchers alike, I’m totally indulging in this whimsical collection.
