Getting Fall Ready in Stripes

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a fabulous week so far ;) Even though we are not quite in beanie weather yet, I could not resist this one. I actually spotted this little guy way back in summer and could not wait to wear him. At the first sign of a temperature drop, I pulled him out of my closet :P It's probably not enough for the middle of winter but for right now...it's perfect! Casual attire with a touch of cheekiness...yep, that's my kind of weekend uniform.

Spring Fresh

Hi everyone, happy Monday! Hope you are having an awesome week! I'm so sorry it's been a while since my last post, I have been a little MIA since getting back from Australia. I'm trying to get back to the swing of things now, so hopefully posting will become more regular. On a happier note, Spring is finally here! I'm heading to Cancun, Mexico this week and I can't wait to share my experiences with you. NYC has already experienced a couple of muggy days in between the cherry blossoms blooming and gelati in the park. I opted for some clean colors today and am definitely getting ready for this almost summer weather :)

Little Black Cape

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday! Hope you are enjoying your week :) After that massive snow dump last week, NYC is finally heading into some warmer early spring weather. I am super excited and for the first time in a long time, I no longer need to reach out for my puffer jacket to keep warm. During my trip back home to Melbourne, I brought along one of my recent fashion favorites - the cape coat. I tried one out during fall (see here) and loved it so much that I decided to pick up another one in a lighter material. This little black cape is more structured, so I decided to dress it up a little.

The Contemporary Romper

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a wonderful week :) I went back to Australia for the past two weeks. It was so wonderful to see my family, catch up with great friends and enjoy the Aussie summer. It's always nice to be back home and take a break from this gruesome NYC winter, but now I miss summer! This outfit was taken near my home in Melbourne while I was on my way to drinks with friends.

Fall Cape

Hi everyone, hope you are having an awesome week! I'm embracing this season's cape trend and decided to pick one up and try it out. This little guy makes me feel very English and also reminds me of Sherlock Holmes. Now, I'm no detective, but it's not a mystery why the cape trend has been so popular ;)

Sunny Side Up

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! We've been having a pretty mild summer until recently. It's gotten so hot, humid and uncomfortable in the city the past week that it feels like summer just started. To survive the humidity, light, breathable layers are a must ;) I've had this cheerful maxi skirt for a while, but never had the chance to take her out for a spin all summer, until now. She was definitely a great choice in this heat and a splash of enthusiastic optimism I needed for the week.

Classic Black

Hi everyone, hope you are having an awesome week! I can't believe it's already August and summer is coming to an end. We are really lucky that this summer in NYC has been quite pleasant with many breezy days without too much humidity. We also went through a beautiful spring season this year with cherry blossoms that bloomed for weeks. As we approach fall, I thought it would be appropriate to start thinking about my fall wardrobe. It's not often that I wear black, but when I do, I love keeping the style classic and add in accent pieces :)

Cherry Red with Layered Skort

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Summer is quickly approaching and sadly, so is the humidity. The weather in NYC has been really muggy during the week, with random bursts of rain and even thunderstorms. Thank goodness the weekends have been quite pleasant so far with plenty of sunshine, minus the stickiness. These shots were actually taken in Shanghai during my recent holiday. It was an accidental, yet delightful discovery of a little slice of serenity hidden in this city that never sleeps :)

Dots // Stripes

Hi everyone, hope you are having a fantastic day! I'm mixing some staple prints with a vibrant blazer today in the hope of  adding some cheer to this slightly overcast day. I've been on the hunt for a classic red blazer for a long time. I'll admit, the search hasn't been short or easy. A great cut and fit aside, finding the right shade of red proved to be challenging but crucial. It's like searching for that perfect shade of red lipstick, a process not to be rushed :P

Tough Love

Hi everyone, hope you are having a great week so far! Ok, I realized that I was a little ambitious with the outfit selection today. Don't let the sun fool you, it's freeezing...brrr.....Despite the recent beautiful weather that gave us a small glimpse of spring and what's to come, sadly, it was short lived and here we are, back to the chilly winter. With that said, bracing the cold was definitely a lot easier with a punch of cheerful color and a motorcycle (moto) jacket!
