Denim Dungarees - thrifted / Sheer Magenta Blouse - thrifted / Argo platform sandals - Jeffery Campbell / Amethyst pendant - Corky Saint Clair

Here I go again with my denim obsession. I'm sorry, I can't be helped but I don't know if there are any more pieces out there to purchase. These are another long lusted over and hunted for item. Long denim dungarees have been in stores and 'in style' the last season or so but I couldn't commit to any I had seen. Believing in fate is a huge part of thrifting so waiting for the item to find you gives me a huge sense of accomplishment. These dungarees were literally just placed on the rack by the shop volunteer when I snatched them up; meant to be.

Shoes | Jeffrey Campbell Argo

It has been quite a while since I last did a shoe review. You may recall the last shoes, reviewed by me, were quite similar to those you see pictured above (see previous post here). The truth of the matter is that I broke the black ones by London Rebel within a few weeks but the white ones are still going strong. However, a girl needs comfortable and reliable black sandals so I held out buying a straight replacement and waited till I could find a similar pair in better quality. Enter ZOMP, my favourite Brisbane shoe store, and a spectacular (even more spectacular now) sale. 

Already owning and believing in the quality of Jeffrey Campbell shoes, I knew that these babies wouldn't let me down. When I saw the Argo shoe for $80 sitting in my size in the ZOMP window I couldn't say no. It was looking to be hot for several more months and I needed sandals badly. 

In an unsurprising comparison to the black Stereo sandals by London Rebel these have lasted me many more nights out. The leather upper and lining gives me great confidence that my massive feet won't be tearing these apart any time soon. The sole is completely rubber so they are reasonably heavy. 

I appreciate that these are quite closed in the at the toe but still let the air circulate and look super cute paired with socks. One negative would be that the buckle cuts quite low on the ankle which can lead to a stumble every now and them if you're not paying attention.

These are still available on the ZOMP website (here) for a total bargain. If they're your size and you like this style, I would snap them right up! 

Happy Wednesday, lovely people!

OOTD | The Big Picture

 .Com Beanie by UNIF / Kimono Thrifted / 'Teenage Dirtbag' Tank by MINKPINK / 'Private Dancer' Shorts by MINKPINK / Jeffrey Campbell Meyer Light Up Sneakers

Hi lovelies! My love for beanies extends into the summer apparently. This one is by UNIF (preditably) and it was on clearance on Urban Outfitters back in September. The weather has been pretty typical for a Brisbane summer lately with gorgeous sunny days and then pouring rain come 5 o'clock. So wearing a beanie isn't that ridiculous... at least that's what I'm telling myself.

Hi lovelies! Well it was inevitable really... One day I would post an outfit that was entirely UNIF. All of the separates from the brand just mix really well together. I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not. 

OOTD | Revolution 909

 Vest UNIF via Urban Outfitters / Daft Punk T-Shirt eBay / Shoes Jeffrey Campbell Siobhan

Hi lovelies! So this outfit is always my go-to. Chuck on an oversized band shirt, black platforms and sheer tights and run out the door. Whenever I don't know what to wear this is the outfit I apply to every occasion. Worn with towering platforms it's perfect for a night out, worn with creepers or docs and it's perfect for uni. 

The Top Five | September

Hi lovelies! With winter well and truly over in Brisbane I thought it was time for a post on the things I have been loving the most over the past couple of months. It's been a while since my last top five post, but essentially it's my way of doing favourites. There are a couple other of these posts if you fancy a scroll back through the archives. 

Music: AlunaGeorge 'Body Music'

I have a playlist in the works for next week with all my recent discoveries on it so I won't babble on too much here. I have been listening to a really odd mish mash of electronic and classics recently, but the stand out has definitely been Aluna George. This London duo's debut album Body Music has been on high rotation on my iPod.

Fashion: Plaid

Even though we're moving into the warmer months I am still obsessed with plaid. It's all over the place in the Northern Hemisphere for winter and I refuse to give it up just because it's summer. Above are some recent plaid features on the blog, and there are many more items yet to be photographed. 

OOTD | Tongue Tied

 Levi's Denim Jacket Vintage / Dress UNIF Haighter Dress / Shoes Jeffrey Campbell Foxy Wood

Hi lovelies! How amazing is this dress? I have an affinity for black clothing, however in a close second place is tie dye. Strangely I go for either all black or as many colours as possible all at once. My days of colour blocking are well and truly behind me. 

Shoes | Jeffrey Campbell Siobhan

Jeffrey Campbell Siobhan in Black (available here)

Hi lovelies! Welcome to the latest episode of 'Jess is addicted to buying things'. Alright so it isn't the catchiest of names, but it is fairly appropriate. Recently Karmaloop were mean and sent a 40% off coupon direct to my email inbox. What's a girl supposed to do? These shoes were already on sale and with the added discount were a downright steal. 

OOTD | The Canadian Tuxedo

Hat UNIF Concho Hat via NastyGal / Jacket Vintage Levi's / T-Shirt The Mountain via Dollskill / Belt American Apparel / Shorts American Apparel / Shoes Jeffrey Campbell Meyer Sneakers

Hi lovelies! After Erin's last OOTD post with her The Mountain shirt I've also decided to jump on the bandwagon. Usually I am a big fan of an oversized tee, but when I saw this one on DollsKill, I opted for a shirt that's actually my size.
