{ STYLE } My Kingdom

If you don't already know, I love my statement necklaces. Just a simple, casual and plain looking outfit can be instantly transformed into something a bit more dressy and suited to more formal events. Formal occassions or not, you would probably catch me wearing bold jewellery pieces on most days of the week.

I picked out this 'Kingdom' necklace from Vanity Box (an Australian-based fashion and cosmetics online store)- I personally prefer statement necklaces with shorter chains, in that it would sit on my upper chest although I could not pass up on this one! I was immediately drawn to its bold design, especially the glamorous-looking pendant, the earthy colour scheme and the vintage-esque feel.

The necklace feels like it's really well-made, sturdy and it's not too lightweight. The only frustration I have with this necklace is that it can get tangled really easily, obviously with the many chains and layers incorporated into the design- so appropriate storage is a must!

Vanity Box is selling this gorgeous item on their website for $18.80AUD. Amazing! Doesn't this piece look a lot more expensive?! Super satisfied :D

{ STYLE } Now I Know

If you follow me on Instagram (laurasooji) you may remember I posted this OOTD. I guess you could call that a "teaser" to this full post right now! Sorry for the lateness, I forgot about these bunch of photos we took :( Anyway, I'm wearing the same shorts from Sugarlips that I wore on a previous outfit post which I shall link here. I like the elasticated band around the waist which makes them super comfortable and I love the flowy material and the print!

You can tell I styled these shorts in a more casual manner compared to my previous post which was full of colours and accessories. I also opted for my favourite military boots instead of my sleek Zara sandaled heels.

Which outfit do you guys prefer? The more casual and comfortable style shown in this post or the more colourful and fashion-conscious outfit shown here. I would love to know what you guys think!

Thankyou for reading and visiting my blog!

{ STYLE } Caramel & Chocolate

I didn't intend in shooting an outfit of the night but the full length mirror in the bathroom was begging me to! By the way, I apologise for the not so super HQ photos! >.< As for the caramel coloured dress I'm wearing, it's actually a size too large for me, it's pretty long and goes past my knees so I just sinched it up using a similar coloured belt. I adore the diagonal hemline of this dress!

 

Going for silver-toned accessories this time which is a change from my usual golds!

{ STYLE } Preppy Edge : Burgundy & Olive

Winter is approaching which means I can live in my stockings, boots, sweaters, scarves and coats! This look combines a preppy and edgy style which I am loving. A collared top layered under this beautiful burgundy coloured sweater, frayed olive shorts, striped leggings and military boots. The chunky boots add that edge and masculinity which offsets the rest of the outfit.

 Tops: Cotton On, Dotti

Shorts: Express

Bag: Steve Madden

Boots: Express

Accessories: Michael Kors watch, Colette, Ebay, HK, Aldo sunnies
