Split Back Sweater

The cold weather has finally started to set in and there's just something about pulling on a cosy knit that's deeply comforting. I love sweaters because they can be thrown on with anything from shorts and jeans to skirts and dresses. A good quality knit is always a good idea in winter. Apart from being available in a variety of different colours, I never noticed much variation in them though until I clapped eyes on this amazing split back one. As Fat Amy from Pitch Perfect would say, "Reserved at the front, but...party in the back!" I've paired it with a cute little skirt and sandals for a relaxed transeasonal look.

Solace

I'm officially making the most of the last days of summer (well, summer weather anyway) in this Paint It Red twosie. The fabric is so soft and I don't think I could ever feel more comfortable in neon orange tweed!

Despite these pieces providing me with almost a complete outfit, I wanted to make it my own still. Given it was a little chilly, a lightweight cardigan was perfect to throw over the top. The neutral colour was then complimented by these cute boho inspired sandals and, sticking to neutrals, a tan crossbody bag to complete the look. However, no look is complete without jewellery, so I added a chunky set of bracelets that matched the colour scheme as well as some obligatory gold hardware. 

I love this set because I can mix and match it with a number of other items in my wardrobe. Given that tweed is more of a winter fabric, I can also wear these pieces with layers throughout the colder months. This is the first twinsie I have ever bought but my oh my Paint It Red designs the cutest sets and I've been tempted more than once to invest in another two-piece matching outfit. 

Get the look. Check out some of my other favourite matching two piece sets at the moment.

Denim Days

I love denim. It's perfect all year round in the form of shorts, skirts, shirts and jeans. I've never really experimented with the whole denim on denim thing though and this outfit is probably the closest to double denim that I'll ever get. I really like this denim duo because the shorts are white, creating a much needed contrast between the two denim colours because I'm not adventurous enough to wear two blue denim items together. This is a classic relaxed summer outfit and an example of comfort at it's best! 

Apologies for the frown on my face in some of these photos. I left my sunglasses at home...I won't be forgetting them again anytime soon!

Cookies & Cream

I call this my cookies and cream top because it reminds me of oreos or cookies and cream ice-cream. It's super comfy and goes perfectly with a pair of denim cutoffs on a day like this when I'm savouring what's left of summer. The weather has been a lot cooler lately so I was happy to finally see some sunshine and warmth. 

These shots were taken in Brisbane last week when I was there visiting my family. Whenever I'm with my older sister she helps me with my hair and makeup (as seen in previous posts). This trip was no different and she did my hair for these photos. I love messy buns - I just can't recreate them. My attempt at this hairstyle the day after was an absolute joke. Hair's clearly not my forte.

Checker Cutoffs

Finally an outfit post! This time sporting my new denim cutoff shorts (just in time for temperatures to reach 42 degrees yesterday). I love the contrast of black and white paired with this cute little tank top. I'm going for comfort today, so I'm out and about in sandals. I figure there's no point being disgustingly hot and uncomfortable, so I may as well make things easier for myself. 

I pretty much live in denim cutoffs and tank tops throughout summer. I'll try and mix things up a bit, but apologies in advance if I return to my all too perfect and familiar denim/tank uniform in the near future (because nothing compares when it comes to easy and relaxed style in such ridiculous heat). 

A Bit of Boho

This type of clothing isn't normally my style but I love keeping an open mind when it comes to fashion and I'm always keen to try new things. I wore this on the weekend for a chilled day at the shops (where I got some much needed Christmas shopping done). This outfit would be perfect for festivals too though!

I was so happy to receive so many compliments throughout the day on my shoes (yes I'm finally wearing flats). I haven't worn these in a while, so decided to pull them out of the back of my wardrobe and show them off. They're actually from last season but I haven't seen any sandals as amazing as these yet this summer.

The best way to pull off wearing old season shoes or clothing is by teaming it with other current and on trend pieces, even it's only your bag or accessories. I wore these old shoes and shorts with this awesome fringe top that I bought from Zara in Barcelona this year and mixed it with vibrant accessories (very on trend at the moment). 

I finally changed my nail colour too! I've been looking for neon yellow for ages, so now I'm  a very happy girl. Hope you like!
