Cherry Choc

 

Hmmmm...cherry choc. Well that's what I like to call this deep burgundy colour. Black and burgundy together somehow remind me of a cherry ripe. I'm wearing Sportsgirl pleated skater skirt (burgundy now on sale), 3/4 sleeve lace zip top, fashion metal plate belt and boots from The Iconic.

I'm wearing Berry Love nail polish, I love that the colour matches the skirt perfectly. I'm also wearing plum lipstick (Night owl) although it looks much lighter in photographs, it's actually more plum than red in person.

Winter Warmers

Saturday I rugged up in layers of knits to beat the winter chill, including this knit snow flake tube skirt (you know, since it doesn't actually snow in Melbourne... it's the closest I'll get)

My whole outfit is from Sportsgirl and my boots are from The Iconic. I swear I've been living in this chunky black cardi and these boots lately, they're both so comfy and go with almost everything in my wardrobe. 

This silver cuff came into store this past week, I love a touch of metal. It also comes in rose gold. You've seen the silver necklace before but it's still available here.

I love this location in Abbotsford, where I went to a vintage market on the weekend. Just outside of the frame were three massive bags full of vintage pieces. It's safe to say my day was a success!

Little Black Sequin Dress

This is the first of many dresses I bought on my vintage shopping day that I posted about in March.

Classic style. I was very pleased to find this treasure mixed within the explosion of 'out there' pieces. I bought a couple of similar ones in colours which I'll share with you later. I plan on selling all of these later in the year but for now I'm just building up my inventory. 

I took some inspiration from some of my pins on my Beauty board and did a slight wavy bob and burgundy lips to go with the vintage style of the dress.

Making this classic colour combination modern by adding chunky cuffs, strappy heels, statement necklaces and earrings. My favourite looks would have to be the two peplum dresses. Oh you know how I love a good peplum. 
Even though these looks are from the Resort Collection, it's great how they could even be worn in our Winter here if you add sheer black tights.
I truly love all his collections, there's such an elegance to Oscar De Le Renta's clothing.
