Shoes | UNIF 'Gosh' Boot

UNIF 'Gosh' Boots via DollsKill

Hi lovelies! So I was holding off on showing you this pair of shoes, but I can't put off wearing them in outfit posts any longer. I bought this pair of shoes at the same time as the UNIF 'Lost Sole' Boots from DollsKill. I couldn't choose between the two pairs, and a sneaky 30% off code prompted me to get both.

Hi lovelies! You remember how I mentioned I've been splurging on shoes lately ...yeah here's the latest damage. As soon as I saw these shoes on UNIF's instagram I was obsessed. Sadly there was virtually nothing written about them online, even the UNIF website didn't tell me how tall the shoes were. Eventually Solestruck came to my rescue and the shoes a 4.5 inches with a 2.75 inch platform.

It looks like summer has come early to Brisbane. Yesterday was the most perfect weather for wandering about doing nothing. Erin invited me over for tea and before the sun went down we made time for some outfit photos. Luckily for us Erin just happens to have this stunning backdrop in her backyard. 

OOTD | Growing Up

To celebrate my transition from my second decade into my third decade I wore something that I haven't worn since my first decade. Dungarees! 

As a kid I was rather enamoured with a pair with a butterfly on the front, now I am in love with this navy corduroy pair that I picked up on eBay. The store is called Electric Skinny Vintage and I would highly recommend them. Although they aren't particularly cheap, there are some amazing pieces in that store that are worth the extra cash. I can tell you now that this won't be the last dungarees to enter into my wardrobe. They are super comfy and perfect to layer with.

For me a shopping outfit must be two things; comfortable and easy to change in and out of. Whilst I'm a big fan of layers negotiating them all off and then back on again whilst inside a tiny cubicle is not my idea of fun. It's my favourite kind of weather this time of year. Erin mentioned it in her previous outfit post, but the skies are clear and there's that slight chill in the air. 

Friendly Fashion Features - Pastels, Prints and Pretty Florals with Tara

Floral Playsuit - Dragonberry

Meet Tara, one of my best friends to be made outside of high school. We met on the first day of our first class at university and have been friends ever since. Since then I have watched her style grow to reflect her personality. When I asked her during this shoot, she said she likes to think her of style as a hazy "combination of pastel girly colours and slight punk influences." She has a real preference for clothes that are simple and hassle free. You'll notice the "easy to wear" quality that all of the garments featured offer - especially the playsuit and basic cotton tees. 

An Ode to Jeffrey Campbell Litas

Litas are by far Jeffrey Campbell's most recognisable design. Today I thought I would share with you all my most worn pair of Litas - the Lita Cap. 

These shoes are the perfect shoes. I could just end the post there, but because one of my favourite topics to talk about is shoes I shall continue. Weirdly I am not the biggest fan of the original black Lita, the ones with the wooden heel. Perhaps it's because there are thousands of knock offs of them on eBay. 

I am of the opinion that every girl needs a great pair of staple heels. A pair of shoes that can be thrown on with any outfit. A pair of shoes that you can wear for hours and not be in pain. A pair of shoes that just work. These shoes are mine. They're different enough to stand out and yet they go with everything. I am a huge advocate of a statement shoe, but sometimes you require something with a little more subtlety. 

The leather on these is some form of suede-leather hybrid, making them ultra soft and oh so comfy. I have worn these for 12 hour stretches and been absolutely fine. 

I purchased these from Revolve Clothing but I believe that they're also available on Karmaloop. I would really recommend Revolve, especially to Aussie girls. They have free shipping on orders over $100 and they'll refund back 30% off of your first order if you email them the order number (JCs are included in that).

Hope everyone had an awesome Chrissy, mine was spent stuffing my face and swimming. Bliss.

PS Sorry about the indoor photos the weather has been less than desireable for outdoor photos
