Alley

Lack of Color Montana Midnight Muse Hat, US Army Vintage Shirt, Levis jeans, Ksubi Bandanna Scarf, Mimco Tote Bag, Vintage Belt, Boutique @HS Harris Scarf Shirt.

There is something I love about finding tidy back alley ways, hidden entrances to cafes, the peek of a Chanel store down the lane... Magnolia trees, flaking paint and the odd graffiti tag. This is one of my favourite little areas in Perth, to wander, eat, drink, watch a show and shop. I tended to frequent staying at the Rydges Hotel nearby on short stays, so have spent a lot of time in and around this little hot spot. 

After a long lunch with Laura this week, we wandered around running errands and catching up on our mutual to do lists. The outcomes of which included upgrading my computer, collecting some camera equipment and more... happy.  

On such a freezing day, I really could have chosen better than this summer scarf, nonchalantly wound round my neck, but oh well, I like it. During the sales I also got the tank to match, but I will definitely have to wait till winter is truly over before dragging that out.

A simple good quality tote is a staple, I have had this one for years, it becomes the carry on bag which my regular handbag fits into on the plane, along with my laptop, and all the rest. I didn't bring more than one handbag to Perth, so this tote is super handy to carry all of my stuff on a running errands day. 

I am so happy to be able to catch up with Laura (who kindly took these photos for me) and a host of other friends I made the last time I lived here. I have finally got a ton of posts to come your way.

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.
