CROC LEATHER SITUATION

Newest Purchase: Vintage Princess Bleecker Bag thrifted on eBay

When classic pieces like the Vintage Princess bleecker bag sell out, you betcha it'll be on eBay for a steal of the price. Think I've found the holy grail of everyday wear tote bags. It's leather and croc skin add a smidge of sports luxe meets boyfriend style to whatever it is you're sporting. You'll be sorry you didn't invest in a bit of croc leather...

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?

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.

AN ARTFUL START

Top to bottom: New Shakuhachi dress / exquisite art found on tumblr (source unknown) / prettty screencap

The new year has seen old and new habits come into gear. A combo of work, decor/art hunting, tumblring, online shopping, seeing friends, yoga and smoothie experimentation has had me counting my blessings more than once.

I'm all too content with the newest edition to my Shakuhachi family. A previous post saw this beaut centered in my shift collage, as I had been eyeing it since the collection's release. Lighter than paper, this silk Shak dress makes for a solid rework of trendy blooms, seen perpetually in the 2000s, that has continued to flourish since. Overall, I'm digging the blacks and blues that make this rosy piece so neo romantic and its shapely reference to mod culture.

Always on the hunt for minimal decor and art prints, I finally stumbled across the perfect print. Found on tumblr, I really loved this peachy-black-blue brush work that would be divine in my room. Hopefully, I'll sort out printing and hanging soon.

Yeah. As you can see, good old tumblr is always on the agenda... I should probably stop making screenshots and do some actual blogging instead. Next time.
