{ STYLE } Crazy bout Spikes and Pleather

Wow, can't believe I haven't been in touch with blogging in over a month! Full time work sucks out all the fun and time harharr *wahh* :( Here's my Sunday lunch outfit- all black, spikes and pleather. It's the middle of autumn already in Australia but the hot days have yet to end. It's meant to be sweater weather already!! Nevertheless, I couldn't go another day without wearing this badass jumper out.

Thanks to CHOIES for letting me pick this jumper! I'm obsessed with wearing spiked anything. I swear my collection of spiked apparel is growing- from necklaces, armcandy, shoes, sweaters, belts...yup..obsessed.

I'm finding cats on clothing and even on bags/clutches a really big trend at the moment. Many I've seen are too cute-sy for my liking but this fierce snow tiger made the jumper such an edgy statement piece which I totally love!

Wearing all black from head to toe really needed a punch of colour and vibrancy hence the bright neon citrine/lime cross-body bag.

{ STYLE } Lavender & Lace

Perth's weather has been quite crazy recently, raging hot one day and then raining the next. Luckily it was sunny and warm last weekend so it was perfect to wear this gorgeous lavender pastel dress to a wedding!

I instantly fell in love when I saw this dress online (my obsession with lace will never die!!) and it was a perfect fit when I wore it. Tight-fitting at the top and really feminine and flowy at the bottom. Paired the dress with some nude and gold pieces and I was good to go!

{ STYLE } Neutrals in Nature

Happy Monday!! Sorry for being so MIA : ( I hope you've all been well! I've really been trying to squeeze in some blog posts after work and on the weekends but it's been so hectic and tiring for me lately. Luckily the Christmas and Boxing Day holidays are coming up which will hopefully mean that I can blog a little more!

So in love with these nude-peach platforms! I got it on sale recently for $35 which was a damn good steal! I love how it helps to elongate my legs a bit more ;)

{ 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 } One

I've been obsessed with anything lace recently. I used to think it was a bit old-fashioned and trashy but if lace is subtly incorporated into an outfit, I think it makes your overall look a whole lot more classy and elegant.

I haven't worn this lace-flowery printed number for a while now. I was so glad it caught my eye while rummaging through my closet- just adore the print and how the design is not too 'loud' and in-your-face. I really appreciate the black panelling on the sides of the dress, with obvious reasons why- *oh hello instant body slimmer :p*.

What I threw on for a special date night. I can never doubt the black and gold combination- hints of gold on my jewellery pieces and my heels with gold-embellished soles!

{ STYLE } Sunset in the Valley

{photography by} DTN.photography - please support! he just started blogging :D

My favourite days- nothing but relaxing in perfect weather, sunny with the right amount of breeze. My recent roadtrip to the Swan Valley was amazing- I haven't been in so long and it was great to visit local hot spots and just admiring the scenery. I'm not much of a sight-seeing kinda girl but once in a while you need some quality time with mother nature.

I seriously don't remember the last time I watched the sunset...so pretty!

Hah! I love this so much! So true...so true..

That's all for now- I need some rest! So sleep deprived lately!! :( :(

Have a great week <3

{ STYLE } Minty City

I can't believe how warm the weather was today! Spring has finally arrived! I don't know if I should be sad or happy. I love winter/fall fashion but the sunny months are perfect for rocking those bright colours, pastels and also forces your legs out of hibernation and into some cute shorts! *yipeeee*

After the perfect brunch date, we strolled through Kings Park- admiring the sun and the beautiful flora.

Welcome to my city..
