OOTD | Wild Fox

 Leather Jacket Charlie Brown / Jumper Wildfox via Dragonberry / Shorts American Apparel / Socks Asos / Shoes UNIF 'Lost Sole' Boots

Hi lovelies! At last it is cold enough to wear multiple layers. Currently I am sitting at my desk wrapped up snug. Unfortunately my house is hopeless at retaining heat. I bought this jumper a while ago at a Dragonberry sample sale. 

OOTD | Late To The Disco

Disco Pants in Forest Green - American Apparel / Grey V-Neck - Bonds / Fish Bowl Print Over-Shirt - thanks to Mum's great taste / Dr. Martens - Thrifted / Nails - Blueberry by Barry M

After many months of agonising over whether or not to make the investment I finally took the plunge and purchased a pair of American Apparel's infamous Disco Pants. Always apprehensive about buying expensive items online I tried these on in their Melbourne store, to find out what size to buy, first. I ended up being content with an M as they run ever-so-slightly large. You've probably read/heard it all before but these pants are unbelievably comfortable and hold you in better than any legging you'll ever own. I'm also almost convinced I'm going to invest in a pair of AA's Riding Pants as their matte finish looks more wearable but equally as comfortable. 

The rest of my outfit was trying to tone the shiny pants down for the working day. My grey Bonds v-neck is a staple in my wardrobe. If I could afford to fork out $40 for a v-neck all the time I definitely would. The fish-bowl-covered beauty you see covering the outfit is a gem from my mother's past. In love with the concept of fish on a shirt as a small child I managed to snag this from her wardrobe two or three years ago and I think she is happy with its new life (she had little choice anyway). 

Thats all for today lovelies. Just a quick outfit post this Friday so I can get out and enjoy the night. Hope you've all had a spiffing week and an ever better weekend!

OOTD | Fade to Black

 Shirt Evil Twin via DollsKill / Riding Pants American Apparel / Holographic Backpack UNIF via DollsKill / Watch Seiko / Shoes Dr Martens 1461

Hi lovelies! I feel like I have had a big shop in ages, but as it happens all the items I'm wearing above are fairly new. The Riding Pants were a bit of an investment from American Apparel, but I'm pleased to say they were worth the money. Super high waisted and surprisingly exceptionally comfortable. I find the finish of the pants makes them a lot easier to style than the Disco Pants. My only gripe is the lack of pockets, although I don't know where they would have fit them. 

OOTD | Just In

Shirt Thrifted / Shorts American Apparel / Lips Lime Crime Velveteen in 'Pink Velvet' / Shoes UNIF Gosh Boots

Hi lovelies! So for the past few years I have been very loyal to a pair of high waisted shorts from American Apparel. The number of times I have worn those shorts more than justified the price. 

Shopping | Top 5 Online Stores

 Hi lovelies! I thought I would do something useful with my addiction to online shopping and pass on some of the tricks I have learnt over the years. For the first instalment I thought I would give you a run down of my 5 favourite places to shop online.

DollsKill

If you look back on my previous outfit posts it's rare to not find something I bought through DollsKill. They stock many of the brands I love and their sales are killer. I also draw outfit inspiration from the excellent styling on the site. 

The $20 shipping cost may be off putting, however my clothes always arrive in 4 days or less making it the most affordable express shipping I have come across. They also have a great social media team and I would highly recommend checking out their instagram.

OOTD | Festivals and Flowers

 Crop Top by Nasty Gal x Lazy Oaf / Corduroy Circle Skirt by American Apparel / Shoe T.U.K. 'Mondo' Creepers

Hi lovelies! I am absolutely shattered after getting back from Woodford yesterday. As per usual the weather was boiling at the festival and this outfit ended up being what I wore on New Years Eve.

OOTD | Life's A Yawn

 Shirt Johann Earl 'Yawn' Crop via ASOS / NYX Matte Lipstick in 'Indie Flick' / Belt Thrifted / Shorts American Apparel / Bag UNIF 'Pyramid Pack' via DollsKill / Shoes T.U.K. Mondo Creepers

Hi lovelies! More photos with the new snazzy lens today. This outfit is pretty much my standard summer uniform. A crop top and shorts is simple and most importantly cool. The humidity has been high this week ...hence the fluffy hair. 

OOTD | Two's Company

Top MINKPINK via Asos / Skirt MINKPINK via Asos / Hoodie American Apparel / Jacket Levi's Vintage / Sandals London Rebel

Hi lovelies! In today's outfit I have used just about every spring fashion cliche... Pastels, white lace and sandals. The end result is something quite different for me, but I like it all the same. 

OOTD | Teenage Dirtbag

 Jacket UNIF Boneyard Moto / Shirt MINKPINK Teenage DIrtbag Tank / Belt American Apparel / Shorts American Apparel / Shoes UNIF Grail Platforms

Hi lovelies! This outfit is a big mish mash of my favourite brands. I took advantage of the last cool days to wear my banging new jacket from UNIF out during the daytime. I had been eyeing it since it's release and enabled by a recent DollsKill sale it was finally mine. 

Similarly the MinkPink shirt was purchased on the cheap from Dissh. I buy the vast majority of my clothing online due to a lack of stockists and it being much much cheaper. However the Dissh sale section has some really quality pieces in it lately. I find sale hunting online much easier than in person so that's where the majority of my bargains tend to come from. 

I think the Wheatus song is a secret pleasure of everyone around my age and I challenge you to sit through the entire video without at least miming the lyrics. Sadly for my family I have no qualms with belting out the entire song ...oops.

The belt and shorts are making yet another appearance. Is it clear that these are my favourite shorts ever? I am contemplating a purchase of the Sunflower print version for summer. Or perhaps I shall be sensible and purchase them in a darker wash? We shall see. 

I recently posted a review on the UNIF Grail Platforms (handy link here), but since then I have had more of an opportunity to put them through their paces. I have come to the conclusion that they are ridiculously comfortable and they are perfect for stomping about in all night. 

As I mentioned in my previous post my hair is now pink. I feel like I have been keeping you all in suspense over it, but I promise there will be a post up on Friday so make sure to check back then.

In a bit of shameless self-promotion Erin and I have also started up a FaceBook page for the blog. If you want to keep updated on our latest blogposts and the like the head on over here and like away

What are your favourite guilty pleasure songs? Is there a song you can't resist belting out? For any fellow 90s girls I am sorry for stealing a large portion of your time, click if you dare.
