This week…

There are some pieces that just catch your eye.. and then don’t quite let it go. These After the Apple for Karen Walker clutch bags are one of those kinds of pieces. The bright colours, the slither of gold hardware, the optional chain for when hand-held-only isn’t a practical optional… they are doing everything right. I’m not even sure which I’d rather splurge on (although I’m leaning towards navy or the outrageous yellow…).

Which colour is your favourite?

ASOS sheer blouse | COOP skirt | Glassons belt | ASOS watch | RMK wedges | Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag
Making the most of the last few days of sun.. We shot these in an open park under the evening sun, and he lighting-effect was especially sun-drenched. This top is a take on the sheer trend I can get behind. So subtle you’ll miss it if you’re not paying close attention. I do own quite a few sheer bits and pieces, but I find this is one of the few you can get away without wearing another top underneath. This skirt was a surprise-buy from COOP. I love the way it nips the waist, and flares out without being overwhelming. The full zip is a nice touch, and can be worn either at the front or back depending on the look you want. I’m looking forward to wearing it in the winter with black opaque tights and ankle boots.

You might have noticed quite a few things are being shaken up around here! I have a few things in the works which I am very excited about! The major changes of course being the introduction of beauty and food posts – which I love writing, so I hope you like them. Today I’m introducing Highlights, a new weekly feature that replaces Link Love. You’ll still get a list of my favourite links – but with a few other highlights from the week mixed amongst. I think it’ll be a lot more interesting, so en-joy!

Rebecca Minkoff ‘Cupid’ Bag, Country Road Pumps
Not every purchase gives you that warm glow-y feeling of accomplished, but these two purchases hit the mark. I’ve been into black and gold lately, and have been umming and ahhing over a number of black bags with gold hardware. I finally decided on this Rebecca Minkoff and it’s been love since it landed on my doorstep a little under a week ago.
As for the shoes, I decided it was about time I had a pair of classic pumps in my wardrobe… This particular pair are from Country Road, purchased with one of their ‘spend-and-save’ (spend $300 get $100 off) offers.
Both are very much favourites in my wardrobe right now! What purchases have you been excited about lately?
