The Ones...

After deliberating and hunting for a pair of brown boots for winter I have finally found the ones!  

Funny time of year to be buying winter boots - Yes its stinking hot right now being Summertime and definitely shorts & Jandals weather, you may think "but you live in Australia, why would you need boots? The land of perpetual sunshine".  It does get cold, not NZ bottom of the South Island cold, or UK glum gloomy winter cold, but it does get cold.  And as Summertime is long and fantastic, as soon as the sun hides and the temp drops to a "mild 24 degrees" everyone huddles indoors, reaches for the scarves and pulls out the winter boots.  No matter where I live I get to continue wearing long boots over jeans as my winter style (which I love and am glad its here to stay).  

So trawling the world-wide-web where "oh hooray, looks like winter in the Northern Hemisphere", I am able to find beautiful glorious winter boots at the touch of a keyboard...I am sold on a pair by Jeffrey Campbell, so one click later they are now making their way international post, destination my wardrobe!

Cant get enough of ♫ ♪

Just sharing a song that is currently at the top of my playlist - Lay it down, by a group called The Rubens.


The Rubens are a 4 piece band from Menangle, NSW consisting of 3 brothers and a childhood friend on the drums. Forming in February 2011 the boys are pushing out blues tunes soaked in copious amounts of soul.

What to wear?

This year a group of us are planning on heading to the Cuban Club on New Years day where this years theme is...bringing Miami to the people.

So it's all about perfect pastels, chinos and the classic fedora.  Arguably the most exclusive and glamorous day of the summer, Cuban Club encapsulates everything that is inimitable about Perth, the sun, summer tans and all out party people.

Definitely an event I am looking forward to, and so the biggest decision for any girl heading out to celebrate the New Year is what to wear?

So here are three of my current favourite options (it seems my wardrobe is packed with dresses, although you can never have too many dresses) so now I am having trouble deciding on which one, what one...its too hard as I love them all!

 Free People - Tea For 2 Dress


Hair Glorious Hair



 I AM LOVING THIS STYLE...
{and her hair colour + make-up = gorgeous!}

To get the look…

Gently backcomb the front section off your hair, then finger-smooth it back so it still has some texture. Spray with a fine hairspray. Next, separate the rest of your hair into four pieces. Twist, roll, and gently secure each section with a bobby pin or two.  Ready to go a look that suits both day & evening.
