military precision

I have had this bag, forever. Well not forever, but for a good eight or so years. It was my first big purchase. She's a Chloe. The bag I chose to buy when the Paddington was huge and I didn't want to follow the pack. I love her. Mainly because she is practical and holds everything, but also because she is classic, and twinkles with a hint of both silver and gold. And when themes like military roll around (as they so often do) she makes the perfect bag. Urban yet glam. I have mentioned my love of khaki before (see here), and I don't see it going away soon. Mixed with pretty vintage pieces and classic black boots, a khaki jacket is a perfect nod to the trend that will take you from winter into summer. And with Zara and Topshop showing such fabulous affordable versions, I say jump online now. Heck visit the stores in Melbourne, they are probably already here. x K

brooklyn flea

 I think there is nothing better to do the weekend than go to a flea market. So today hubby and I trekked to Brooklyn for their well known flea (read dragged him, in the ridiculous heat)! But if you are ever in NYC on a weekend I recommend making the journey (L train from Union Sq, so not even that far!). Not only for the fabulous city views, delicious homemade delicasies and cool vintage clothes, but for the amazing accessories and one of a kind homewares. I had my eye on an old school style wooden crate which unfortunately sold when I went back to buy it. So be warned, the good goes fast here! A perfect lazy Saturday (even if hubby thinks vintage clothing is simply old crap no one wants) Ha! x K

max it out

As summer becomes a distant memory, and the crisp autumn air (and rain!) sets in, I constantly look in my wardrobe and deem I have nothing to wear! And with Melbourne often churning up four seasons in one day (my wedding day, being a classic example of that!) it pays to be able to layer up your summer pieces, for a tran-seasonal update that will take you all the way through to winter. My summer days are spent living in dresses, especially maxi dresses, so I love that this leather bust maxi dress is wow enough on it's own for balmy summer nights, but equally fabulous when teamed with a faux fur gilet when the temperatures turn cool. For extra winter warmth, add a cardi underneath, giving you a contrast sleeve that's so on trend right now. Mix with boots and tights and you'll see more life out of your maxis than you ever thought possible x K

head on

It's getting extremely cold outside which means it's time to break out all things cosy and warm. While obviously that means luxurious knitwear, chic coats (yes I want a Burberry trench, BAD) and faux fur (and more faux fur!!) all of which I LOVE, I have to admit I'm a sucker for head wear. Be it a hat, or beanie, or scarf tied on my head, I feel like there is no better way to complete an outfit. Especially in winter. And so today, Anzac today (Lest We Forget), I deem to dress (my head) up and go vintage. I'm thinking what better way to feel happier about this terrible weather than to dress up and go out and feel, well, fabulous. Ok it's true, I'll be slothing on the couch later in my trackies (how Aussie of me!) but for now, I'm blissfully content. It's amazing what a vintage inspired hat and a 30 year old dress will do for you. Nothing ever looks bad when you wear a fabulous hat. Go on, try it x K
