It’s very early morning here in Sydney. I’m starting this post at 4:22am to be more precise.

I’m leaving Sydney today for a couple of months to move back home to the little Barossa Valley in South Australia.

I was sadly made redundant last week, a position which I held for 4 and a bit years! I was truly sadden to be let go but also happy in a way because I can now pursue big and better things.

My dear Mother requested I go home for a few months. No argument from me there, so I’ve been rather busy this week packing, getting my thing here organised and cuddling the life out of my little dog Jake.

So please excuse my absence here and there over the next week while I settle into my very familiar new home. Don’t worry, won’t take me long at all. 😉

Now onto rainy day fashion!

I’m a big fan of keeping your feet dry during the cold, windy, wet months of Winter which is why I have no problem with seeing people wearing Gumboots while out and about.

Pipduck – Denny Black Buckle Gumboots. $139.00

Denny Black Buckle will allow you to look elegant and stay dry. This is a beautifully crafted 100% rubber, waterproof boot. This matt black leather look wellington boot has an ankle strap and silver buckle which sets it apart from your more traditional welly. These boots are lined with an ever so soft, stretch synthetic fabric, with side zip.Easy wipe cleaning with damp sponge will keep them looking brand new everyday.

Definitely not your ordinary gumboots! These gumboots may seem a little pricey but for the sake of fashion I think they would be a great addition to your Winter wardrobe.

Oroton – Signature-O Large Umbrella. On SALE! Was $65, now $30.

Make rainy days disappear in a swirl of colour with our Signature O Large Umbrella. Fight the elements and look fabulous at the same time!

Swirl of colour? Silly description but I’ve been longing to own one of these for a while now. I think purely because of the aesthetics and brand name. I’ve not heard too much on their quality though.

ASOS – Cath Kidston Raincoat RRP $59.52 Now $37.41

Polka dot raincoat by Cath Kidston. Crafted in a durable outer fabric. Featuring a hooded neckline with a drawstring fastening to the front, long sleeve styling, a contrast polka dot print, a press stud placket and twin flap pockets to the lower body. Includes a pack and mac bag.

I’m a huge fan of polka dots, just something about them I find absolutely gorgeous. This lovely raincoat found on ASOS is a bright treat for Winter!

Forever New – Dee Spot Scarf $20

A lovely, soft scarf. Needs little words 😉

Hope you like these rainy day favourites. Enjoy your weekend everyone xo

Sacrificing Fashion?

A few of us on the blog roll have been a tiny bit sick of late. Im currently down and out with a cold, so I just wanted to quickly talk about whether we have to sacrifice fashion in order to get better!?

My Answer, you guessed it, NO!

Feeling fashionable and stylish helps me to feel better. As much as I adore my jim jams, sometimes getting up and getting dressed is just what the Dr ordered…

Of course, you have to make sure you’re very warm (which I have, I’m wandering around my office in a freaking beanie and scarf)… Here is a quick set. It may or may not be good, I’m to drugged up to tell you, honestly!

What are your quick tips for getting better!? Share below, we could certainly use them!!!

Winter is Coming!

Any excuse for a Game of Thrones tie in right?

No?

Sorry, I’ll be fashion-y from now on.

The good news is that Perth is finally cold enough for me to leave the house in a scarf and coat! Granted it’s too warm to wear them past lunch time but I’m happy with the cooler weather because it means I get to wear boots too. Oh how I love the feeling of super warm toes and a chill in the air!

The point of today’s post is simply that it is cool enough to actually dress like it is winter* and that I plan to take advantage of it before Perth remembers that it doesn’t get cold in winter it just rains and gets windy then goes back to hot. 

Today I wore this amazingly warm scarf (Jersey FTW), its been like a day long not at all awkward hug…

Happy Winter Southern Hemisphere!!!!!!

*It is a tiny bit about how I have borderline inappropriate feelings towards my clothing, but that is surely a post for another day.

Let’s celebrate today by sharing the item of clothing you secretly (or not so secretly – I won’t judge) revel in wearing.
