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!
