Oxford and Yellow

(denim from A/wear; brogues from Asos)

For the last two weeks I've been taking the train in to work. I can't claim to be one of those people who hates the trains or public transport. Sometimes it's nice to mingle with this mass of people, and enjoy some collective quiet time looking out the train.

Or looking at our shoes.

Everything happens for a reason

Love this necklace! Just one of those happy accidents when I walked into a random store on my way back to the hotel in Jakarta.
Utterly meant to be!

Slideshow: The Week in Style Blogs -- The Cut -- my faves

Slideshow: The Week in Style Blogs -- The Cut

Happy Friday indeed! Although it is Saturday here, even better!!

I love tailored jackets! What better way to showcase the fab tailoring of the one in this slideshow then in gorgeous navy and white piping. Paired with slick pants so that it stays the focus. I heart it!

The other image I picked as a fave from the slideshow is these two girls. No I don't know who they are either, but they remind me of my bestie and how we love to colour clash FREQUENTLY. I can't decide if she'd wear the pants or if I would. I do have a pair of red trousers like that though, incidentally.

What does everyone else read on Saturday mornings over their coffee?

What's new?

(courtesy Celine)

Well, not these Celine shoppers.
These babies have been circling everyone's must-have lists for YONKS.
There's nothing like feeling, well, cross with someone, to trigger that little synapse in the brain to go from 'Oh, wouldn't it be lovely' to 'buy buy buy' like some frantic stock broker signalling away on the exchange floor.
(It's dividend time so I've got stocks on the brain again, hence weird reference. Let's all pretend my metaphors make complete sense at all other times.)
The main hurdle I've had is, ok well, the main hurdleS I have had are the following:
1. HARD TO FIND in Sydney
2. If found, they are stupidly expensive. No the exchange rate/inflation/tax does not explain the price hike
3. If found, it is with a 'sold' tag attached to it firmly
and, the biggest obstacle of all
4. I can't make up my mind what colour I want. NO 'all of them' is not an option, at this time.

So tell me, if you could have ANY colour, which would you choose?

You have all weekend, thank gosh it's Friday! x

Nearly nearly

Do you know what this means?! I finally have Marni (for H&M) print in my wardrobe.

To be exact, I will, soon.

This baby is currently hanging in my pal's office waiting for me to fly over next month to pick it up. She is such an angel and said it's a bribe present from her to get me to go over there.

*heart melts*

I can't even describe how excited I am! About seeing my pal AND my welcome pressie!

I'll probably pick something up whilst I'm there to wear with it... in the meantime, I think it would go great with a contrasting print, or maybe played down with some denim shorts, or some tailored white peg trousers...

The possibilities are endless!

Hope you had as great an evening as I did x
