↠ Autumn Vibes ↠

After a week where I spent pretty much my entire pay check on food (I wish I was joking), my aim for the new week is saving and productivity. Instead of just re-writing a new to do list (anyone else guilty of this?!) it's all about actually ticking stuff off and getting stuff done before the long weekend.

Instead my Monday morning went a little like this...early alarm, (which I proceeded to ignore to finish reading Lena Dunham's Not That Kinda Girl), followed by making tea and eating peanut butter oats in front of my laptop. Instead of actually being productive though, after replying to emails I kinda fell into a little tumblr/instagram/facebook cycle and emerged only for coffee and to pick an outfit on my way out to brunch. 

So, my Monday morning was less productive than anticipated, but at least I managed some outfit pics post-avo-on-toast. Wearing my brand new Tobi coat made the cold, stormy start to the week pretty lovely. It's the perfect weight to throw over shorts and a tee in Autumn, but roomy enough for layering as winter approaches. 

Happy Monday!

↠ Laced in Love ↠

I'm forever on the hunt for wardrobe staples - items that are classic enough to be worn over and over, yet are quirky enough to showcase your personal style. 

In my own imaginary fashion dictionary, an item can only become a wardrobe staple if it fits three main criteria:

1. Always looks good (Even on those "I have nothing to wear!" days) 

2. Can be mixed and matched with pretty much anything in your wardrobe

3. Can be counted on for those times when you have approximately five minutes to get ready. 

A new addition that answers yes to all three is this versatile lace jumpsuit from Tobi. Fitted, yet comfortable, it can be dressed up with a simple necklace, your favourite bag and boots when heading out to lunch; or paired with chunky heels and a statement clutch for a night out. At the same time, it could just as easily be teamed with a denim jacket or plaid shirt tied around the waist. Basically, this jumpsuit has all the right components to become my new go-to throw on for when I'm still deciding what to wear and that dreaded text is received: "I'll be there in five".
