Bobby

Ray Ban Aviators (my pick are these via Vision Direct), Sussans Denim Shirt (gifted) (similar here and here), J Brand Jeans, Isabel Marant Bobby Sneakers (similar here via The Ethos).

This week friends of mine were talking about style, what kind of 'style' we would be described as having, etc. Personally, as much as I enjoy getting all dressed up, I do like to keep things comfortable. 

Big platform heels, super tight dresses, fake tans and cleavage/ stomach revealing clothes are really not my thing. REALLY not. 

I believe the conversation went, 

Mikey: J, have you seen the Parisian Street Style book? 

Me: I feel like 'undone Parisian' is my style, with a rock twist. 

Mikey: Thats pretty much what this book says is true parisian style

Heidy: Ha ha. Let's do it... lets all move to Paris. :)

To get specific, an oversized shirt, undone hair (which I really should do something with), cropped jeans, and a great pair of classic sunglasses, are a cool, comfortable look in my books.

I do love these shoes, the style, even if I was unsure about them at first. The suede is buttery soft, and that height is a bonus for someone as short as I am. Isabel Marant continuously comes up with shoes I go nuts over. Hello, these are the best thing ever!

Is anyone else thrilled that Spring is here? I am so happy! It is the best time of year, flowers, sunshine...

Capsule Wardrobe Vol 2.0

Continuing on in my Capsule Wardrobe series... last time I talked Casual, Work and Cocktails, read it here.

EVERY DAY
Jeans and a t-shirt, simple, comfortable and accessible.
Anyone can wear this, and should feel free to.
I probably wear these boots too much but I love them. I twisted my ankle the other week, and have only attempted heels once since, these semi heel boots have been saving me. They are loose, a good heel height and great quality.
Truth be told, my love of rock music, is something I tend to want to share with the world. I never know who any pop stars are, it takes a long time for me to work out who the big artists are (more than a year before I worked out who Lady gaga was- not kidding). Rock though- I am all about that.

Chloe Susanna Boots, Zara Tee (similar here), Cap, Levis Jeans, Ray Bans

MEETINGS
I have worn a variation of this to work, then to fashion events, and meetings. It is a good outfit when you have to go from one thing to another without time to change.
I love a pencil skirt, and pairing it with grey marle and an interesting hem line? Love. I like that I can throw this together with a white or black shirt, blazer, or a block colour for something different. I know grey is a bit of a nothing colour, (as talked about here) but it goes well with everything, so any piece of clothing in grey is good in my books.
Neoprene is not for everyone, but personally, I can't get enough.
For some reason I do like to wear pink, (despite what Karl says), it makes a nice change.
 This Vivienne Westwood bag I have had for YEARS, it fits a lot in, the plaid somehow manages to work with a lot of outfits- I particularly enjoy when it clashes with the rest of the look (to an extent- I won't pair it with yellow). I talked about these heels last time- prepare to see the same items a few times, capsule wardrobe and all.

WINTER

So it does get cold here, and this teal coat has been my favourite winter coat for years. I spotted this one in Madison magazine then hunted it down from Sportsgirl of all places, back in 2008. Teal is a beautiful colour, in small doses. I am a sucker for military inspired coats, this one fits like a glove and keeps me warm.
These Italian wool leggings are warm, feel beautiful, and tick a few sporty boxes.
Pairing them with an oversized shirt, or this lace top makes it feel less like I am wearing leggings as pants. :)

Sportsgirl Coat, Flannel Lace Top, Alexander Wang Leggings, Ballet flats, Mimco Quilted Wallet, and Oroton Notebook.

Recruit

U.S Army Shirt from Old Midwest American Vintage, Mickey Mouse Baseball Tee, Levis jeans, Converse Sneakers, Zara tote bag, Ray Bans.

Anyone can wear jeans, so I don't often post up casual looks- but this is a pretty typical look for me. I like military touches, and the sportiness of this Mickey tee. As a layer item, or jacket, this vintage Army shirt was just the item I had been trying to track down. Old Midwest American Vintage is one of my favourite vintage stores, and it is right in the heart of Adelaide. With amazing quality inexpensive cleverly curated pieces for men and women, the store is the coolest spot. I fall in love with a new pair of cowboy boots each time I go in, but I don't wear mine enough to justify more. Of the stores in Adelaide, this is one to recommend- if you are looking for something a little unique or quirky, check it out. Hidden behind Rundle Street, on Ebenezer Place, look for the taxidermy brown bear. 

On a run around day sourcing for The Adelaide Cabaret Festival, this easy look took me from Bunnings, carrying plants to lifting furniture, painting and a quick lunch. A big thanks to my Mum for being my assistant on this day- driving around with me sourcing, taking these photos, even going into an Adult store with me to buy handcuffs for Tommy Bradson's show. She may not have known where to look ("Down" Tommy later told her when she relaid the story!), but the gag in the show was hilarious, and paid off.

Sunday Morning in Perth

 

Some Fashion-y pics taken in Perth last weekend. I love Perth transport, it feels like taking a bus over in Europe. Ha ha, here I could have walked to breakfast, but instead took the bus, just for fun. The streets are deserted as it was a Sunday morning, and CLEAN (this is another Perth thing- they clean the streets each night). You are going to see this jacket a lot, 'cause I am IN LOVE with it! Way to go Ksubi, this leopard WAR collection is bang on, and a lot of it is hitting sale time, so check out their site. They ship super fast too. Also Ausmode.com stock some of their stuff as well as everything else on my wish list... take a look!

Pictured wearing Ksubi Panelled Zip Jacket, Zara leather tote bag (that thing is so handy- particularly if you visit book shops as much as I do! It just fits so much in!), Jefferey Campbell boots, Levi's jeans, Ray Bans, Witchery T-shirt and Scarf.
