Fall Into Autumn With Me.

Good evening Sydney Siders. Okay so, I deserve a big slap on the wrist. I know I promised to "blog as much as I can" and then I fell off the face of the earth for  like almost a month. BUT I have resurrected and come bearing with 3 outfits perfect for leaf-falling-fall.



So one thing you need to know about me is -  I lalalalalalove blouses and neutral colours. Chiffon blouses are light and itch-free, feminine, flowy yet structured at the shoulders, and over all just elegant and classy! I hardly wear blouses in summer (unless its cold) but in Winter - you will see me in nothing but. This is a simple black and white outfit with minimal bare essential everyday accessories (sterling silver bling I never take off). I would wear this for a normal day to day - running errands or stepping out of the house to meet someone, or even wear to work. I don't usually believe in wearing tights as pants, the only exception is only if the shirt is long enough to cover your patookie (ass). Remember: less is more.

(Blouse: Mango $99RM - equivalent to $30AUD; Black Tights: GUESS $19.95; Black Pointe Wedges: GUESS $169.95; Rose Gold Watch: MK 5128 $250 online/ $355 David Jones) 


The second outfit we have is a little more girly and fun - This outfit would be appropriate for a date or a nice classy lunch with the girls! I would personally pair the outfit with opaque black stockings instead - but I dug to the bottomless pit of my dresser and found... nothing but wood. So I had to settle with these khaki/blueish stockings instead which ads a bit of colour to the neutral outfit. For a tight structured jacquard type skirt that flares out at the bottom - be sure to definitely wear with stockings if you're closing the outfit with a pair of booties. This will really add dimension to the outfit and make a sexy silhouette for your stems. Because the waistline of the skirt is tight, I prefer wearing a lose blouse tucked in - to really accentuate my waist (plus makes the outfit more comfortable rather than having everything tight up-top and bottom - We want a willow/flow/fall look)

(Cream Blouse: ZARA $99RM equivalent $30AUD; Jacquard Skirt: Forever 21 - $120RM equivalent to $30-40AUD; Khaki/Blue tights: MYER $10; Blue Booties: Nine West $149.95 (sale).


The third outfit we have is prime time chic! Currently the Houndstooth print is really making a come back in the fashion world. The cut of this coat is sharp and structured - There is no botton or strap to close  at the front - reason being - it's almost as if its framing the outfit on the inside as well as being a prominent print on the outside (leaving large coats open at the front makes it more casual - throw in a scarf to ad more of a complete or winter look). I stuck with nude coloured heels as houndstooth black and white theme is the statement piece of this ensemblem - All we need is something sophisticated, pointy, and chic that ads class but doesn't steal the show (nude heels). Lastly to ad to this "I'm on my way to buy some Tiffany - Get out of my way!" look - having the perfect square shape purse to match with such an elegant coat is critical. Really you can have any colour bag to match with this neutral coloured outfit - so long as its hard based, simple and not saggy (saggy bags tone down the 'Class' factor by 6 points).

(Black Tights: GUESS $19.95; Houndstooth Coat: *Some asian brand* - equivalent to $30AUD; Nude Heels: Tony Bianco - est $160 (probably cheaper now); Handbag: Alain Delon - $240RM equivalent to $80AUD)

If you are interested in the Houndstooth coat above, it's probably very unlikely you will find the exact one in Australia as I purchased it in Malaysia from some boutique. However, you are in luck! I was doing some light retail therapy the other day and saw a look-a-like Houndstooth coat to my own (the print is slightly bigger, okay a lot bigger. But it still looks so classy!) If you are interested, make your way ASAP into a Paper Scissors store (A store similar to TEMT or Valley Girl). The store I went to was in Bankstown - and it is very affordable retailed at only $59.95 (Picture of coat is below).

Lastly - My make up for the day was very minimal - The beauty of the outfits all being neutral  is that you can throw in any lipstick colour of your choice! (I decided to stick with nude).

VIP Gold Collection Super Beblesh Balm BB Cream (My new established Holy Grail product)
