My Style Diary - Quilted

Ahh Sunday night.... you come round so quickly!

I can't complain though - I've had a great weekend, and there's a quote I've seen floating around on Instagram/Pinterest:

"A Sunday well spent brings a week of content" 

I have to say I agree :)

Anyway, onto the outfit... I know my outfit posts have been a little repetitive lately, but really my weekend at this time of year is mostly spent in this same uniform of jeans, jumper and converse. It's just the comfiest, easiest thing to throw on when you're having a chilled out day, particularly if that involves going for long walks enjoying the sunshine (as I did today - Perth has been just gorgeous lately!)

This particular jumper has been a recent favourite and has basically been worn non-stop since I bought it from Dotti a couple of months ago (surprisingly this is its first appearance on the blog). It is seriously the softest, most snuggly jumper I've ever felt and has already become a staple piece in my wardrobe. Dotti actually does some really great jumpers for pretty reasonable prices (especially if you manage to pick them up on sale like I did), and the quality of this one is right up there. I've already washed it multiple times and it's holding up really well so far. 

Anyway... that's it for tonight. I hope you've had a great weekend!

My Style Diary - Statement

Considering I usually claim that I'm really not into statement necklaces, this one has definitely had a good workout since it found its way home with me a couple of weeks ago. At first I was a little unsure how much use it would get, but despite it's sparkly-ness it's actually been on high rotation, proving itself to be very versatile and looking great with casual outfits as well as more fancy ones. I've mainly been wearing it layered over a jumper to add a little sparkle, like in the photos above. 

Seeing as I wear such simple clothes in winter (the same uniform of jumper, jeans, boots over and over again), it's probably a good thing to throw in some slightly more out there accessories :)

I'm possibly becoming a statement necklace convert! Shocking!

Hope you're having a great night :)

After all my complaining about the cold, Perth has finally decided to be lovely and bless us with some beautiful sunny and slightly warmer weather.

This makes me very happy.

I'm one of those weird people whose mood is extremely weather-dependant, and I get ridiculously excited at the idea that spring is approaching.

Yes I'm talking about the weather again... I'm

Oh well.... I'm off to go enjoy the the sunshine :)

My Style Diary - Winter White

There's something about bright white and blue denim that I just absolutely love. I don't know what it is about the combination, but I'm always drawn to it, and now that this gorgeous jumper's been added to my collection, I can now incorporate a bit more white it into my winter wardrobe. 

I'd had my eye on this jumper since spotting it in Country Road about a month ago, and once their Spend and Save deal started, I pounced. (Seriously, they really get me with their "spend and save",  a sneaky but very effective trick!) 

Around this time last year, there were jumpers in French Connection that had a cute little lace trim at the bottom. I kind of regret not picking one up, but I'm pretty pleased I managed to recreate the look by layering one of my favourite tops underneath this jumper. It adds a little feminine touch which I love :)

Anyway, hope you're having a fab day!

My Style Diary - The Silk Trench

Hello Hello

So I'm finally back after a little blogging break (an unintentional break that is - it's been a busy week!)

I love Sunday mornings - sitting here with my cup of tea and my laptop with the sun shining and the birds chirping and finally getting to type up this post. I've been trying to just appreciate and notice all those "little moments of perfection" lately, and this has got to be one of them :)

This is one of my "It's winter. I want to look nice but it's too bloody cold and I just want to wear jeans" kind of outfits.  Sometimes there are nights when you need to dress up a little, but for some reason you're just not in the mood to wear anything too fussy. These nights happen to me rather frequently in winter and I tend to fall back on my fail safe black jeans, black top and heels combo. That's when I pull out one of my favourite coats - this silk trench from Witchery, which adds just a touch of luxury and (I like to think at least) sophistication to an otherwise very simple look. 

This trench coat was a great sale find a couple of years back, and while I don't wear it all the time, it always feels very special when I pull it out :)

Anyway, I hope you're having a fab Sunday!

Lots of Love
