Country Road chambray shirt (similar), Karen Walker leatherette skirt (similar), Diane von Furstenburg leopard heels (flats version here), Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Karen Walker rings While I’m not normally one to share much about my personal life, sometimes the excitement is so great that you really just can’t help it. Having spent the past four years working in the ‘real world’, I’ve always questioned whether I made the right decisions while studying at university.

Shoes as seen at MBFWA 2013

images taken by me As far as I’m concerned, you can never have too many shoes whereas bags, I could take them or leave them.

In particular, the ones where you tear open the package to uncover the contents which you have spent the past week tracking, and the weather is just so that you can throw it on straight away. In a nutshell, that was me…
