SILK PANELS GALORE

Top to bottom: Sass and Bide tops, Sass and bide the knockout top & nature of happiness shorts, boots from Hong Kong, Elle Australia Magazine, MacBook Air.

I know you're probably thinking that it's just another white top and I'm just another pretentious teenager with a blog... But I assure you my love for it is so much more than that. It's the silk. That glorious silk paneling that so elegantly complements the cotton jersey back. All in all, it's a luxe tank that I probably didn't need but that I hope to transcend into a wardrobe staple.

In other news, I bought a MacBook for uni and I'm glad I did. Definitely one of the most aesthetic pieces of computing machinery out there. And how could I not have opted for this month's Elle seeing it is as enticing as Margot looks on the cover.

SNAKING ME CRAZY

Newest Purchases: Truffle boots / Witchery top / Sass and Bide snakeskin pants.

There truly isn't a better way to start the day than with a delivery. And who knew an eBay one could be just as (or maybe even more) exciting as from an e-boutique. With the top accumulated from a recent trip to DJ's and the snakeskin and boots thrifted on eBay, I was more than satisfied to consider the pieces a tribal moment for me. I'd even go a bit rash and call it a touch of Wasson, just because she's the ultimate girl who didn't care what she was wearing but by chance ended up looking amazing. Anyway, I'd hoped the hard wood floor plus a little indoor palm could consolidate the tribal thing going on here... Maybe not?

BACK TO BASICS: TEN TIMELESS PIECES

Left to right: white t-shirt Alexander Wang / cashmere sweater Bassike / classic sunglasses Karen Walker / leather skirt Eska Alikai / black heels Tony Bianco / white button up shirt Mlle Mademoiselle / black tote Alexander Wang / little black dress Alexander Wang / blue jeans Nobody Denim / boyfriend watch Fossil.

We've all seen trends come and go but these pieces - the wardrobe essentials - these are forever, baby. From the classic white tee to black heels to those perfect blue jeans, whichever the basic, you can be sure of the fact that you'll never get it wrong. They are the must haves that no wardrobe should be without.

From there you can figure out the game changers. Whether you're a sandals or flats kind of gal, cross body satchel or purse, leather jacket or blazer, denim cut offs or dress shorts etc.

In the words of Vivienne Westwood, "buy less, choose well".

RIGHT TURN DOWN AUGUST STREET

Newest Purchase: August Street piper jumpsuit from The Grand Social.

Delivery day is always a glorious one. Especially, when the postman deliveries the alluring goods from August Street the label. A relative new comer on the Aussie fashion scene, I have been eyeing this edgy yet fashion forward brand for some time. With campaigns reminiscent of youthful Aussie Summer chills, the label's latest collection has mimicked the lustre and design approach of high fashion brands (to which Céline comes to mind). I absolutely adore my new jumpsuit's sleek design and modern colour palette. Who knew minimal could meet colour...

You can shop August Street on The Grand Social here.
