shift to bright

Cobalt // Dion Lee silk form shift

Tangerine // 3.1 Phillip Lim silk dress

Cherry // Bec & Bridge lace backless dress

Rose // Acne satin shift

Four delightfully simple bright shift dresses to get me out of my early winter blues. Cobalt is always going to be my first choice though, and the incredible Dion Lee dress is on sale at Green With Envy.. So tempting!!

b.f.w

I've decided to be completely un-Melbourne and support B.F.W: Brights for Winter, a totally fictional program I've just made up that supports advocators of bright clothing in the colder months. None of this gloomy depressing stuff, I have challenged myself to give up buying anything in black/shades of grey as of now. I'm tossing up whether shoes and bags count, but for the purpose of this post I don't think so (metallic silver does not count as grey). Also, the (grey) neoprene jacket I just bought from Asos doesn't count, but none the less I'm dying to wear this magnificent beast with some crazy brights underneath. Will do an outfit post when it arrives (hoping tomorrow, fingers crossed).

P.s. Sorry posting has been so slow lately, I've been up to my neck in uni work. I'm hoping, come June, I'll be back sewing again after the nasty onslaught of assignments and exams is finally over!

LDN purchases: part one

I almost cried when I found this pleather skirt in H&M! I'd seen it online months ago and cursed H&M for not shipping to Australia, but the shopping gods must have been smiling down on me this day as they had one left and it was in my size!

Also completely obsessed with my new boots from Office London, they were a bit of a splurge but are ridiculously comfy and go perfectly with absolutely everything.

Obsessed with the newest addition to my necklace collection; Kirrily Johnston inspired bengal choker (see tutorial HERE!) I think it goes so nicely with this terracotta pleated dress.
