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

I speak on behalf of all Australian women (assumedly) when I say that the Zara #DearAustralia movement was an absolute game changer (*insert praise emoji). Since it’s release, I’ve been shopping up a storm, but today I’m highlighting my pick of the mix, showcasing my favourite seasonal staple, the Striped Shirt Dress.

This garment has seen me through a variety of fashionable moments, helping me to sashay into the workplace and taking me from desk to dinner with the girls. What I love this piece is its relaxed form, cinched with a bow at the waist. Of course the puff sleeves, collared neckline and oversized buttons certainly add to it’s charm.

Team this frock with a pair of block heels for those dressier moments, or slip on a slide and head straight to brunch. In this case, it’s time for a quick coffee before heading back to the office.

Ladies, have you ventured onto the Zara app? What has caught your eye? Let me know if the comments!

Who knew when Dorothy Gale blew in from humble Kansas, she’d make a monumental fashion moment with her iconic gingham pinafore. Channelling a modern day Dorothy, I’m styling a fabulous little gingham set from Lulu & Rose, available at Glue Store. If there’s a design element that I love more than the gingham print, it’s the asymmetrical frill detail motif seen in the blouse and skirt.

There’s no ruby red slippers to complete this look, but there is an incredible Camilla clutch on display, teamed with some silver accessories courtesy of Molten Store and Wallace Bishop. If you are loving this look as much as Glinda would, then shop my favourites below!

I Want What She’s Styling: Saoirse Ronan

When it comes to the Hollywood style files, I want what Saoirse Ronan is styling. From sheer, shift dresses to structured blazers, this young starlet can do no wrong, on or off the red carpet. I’ve rounded up some key wardrobe staples to recreate her best looks.

Saoirse Ronan

Saoirse Ronan at the Lady Bird Premiere Dublin, Santa Barbara Film Festival, Lady Bird Press Conference.

At The Lady Bird Premiere Dublin

Both demure and positively darling, Saoirse styles a sheer shift dress with an allover strawberry print, totally fitting for her quirky role in Lady Bird. Keeping accessories to a minimal she styles the frock with a pair of pointed suede boots, proving timeless accessories speak volumes on the red carpet.

At The Santa Barbara Film Festival

In a bold move wearing culottes on the red carpet, Saoirse combines the statement pant of the Victorian era with a draping satin blouse. Again, a pointed toe heel makes an appearance, which can be substituted with a pair of mules for a more modern take.

At The Lady Bird Press Conference

Channeling Coco Chanel in a tweed blazer, decorated with embellished brooches, Saoirse is a vision in this vintage getup. I adore how Saoirse pairs her blazer with a LBM (little black mini). Kudos on those pins girl.
