Stella McCartney sweatshirt, J Crew skirt, Marni heels (similar), Proenza Schouler PS11 satchel Making the most of sweater weather while it lasts; which if today was anything to go by, won’t be for too much longer. Saying goodbye to the endless mugs of hot chai and the hearty comfort food to welcome the longer days, dripping lemonade ice blocks, and sweet summer fruits. And while we’re at it – wardrobe repeating at that. No point in having a wardrobe full of clothing if you aren’t going to wear it, right? Get the look:
About this time last year, persuaded by the sweet writings of Hannah-Rose, I pulled the trigger on a pair of Porselli ballet flats in a classic black leather. 12 months on, and surprisingly they’re still going strong, if not a little beaten and battered, proof that they really are as good as I’d been told. Unlike my previous pair, which seemed immune to every minor knock or scrape, I found that the Porselli’s endured most scrapes – bar a couple minor nicks at the toe – in addition to surviving a bout of Sydney’s torrential rain.

But for all that running around, at least…
image sources; tuula vintage, clochet, blame it on fashion, tumblr The daylight seems to be stretching out later and later, and the (slightly) warmer weather means one thing – it’s finally time to start planning my Spring/Summer wardrobe. I’m not looking to add too much, aside from a few essential summer items like denim shorts (which I’m certain I’ve been hunting for, for years), silk tanks, and embellished sandals. Colour palettes will be subdued, consisting mostly of soft neutrals and crisp whites, while I look to add depth with a bit of texture like light brocades and casually ripped denim.…
Charlotte Olympia velvet kitty flats It’s always a good sign when more than two years on, you’re still reaching for the same pieces every morning. The old blazer which has barely aged a day, the slightly tarnished fine silver ring, and the well worn in pair of shoes – novelty, frills and all.

Given my preoccupation with wearing heels…
