This was on Saturday, when I fancied it up with some lipstick and a beret because I was going out with friends.
Forever21 coat, UNIQLO shirt, Jeans West jeans, Wittner boots, souvenir beret.
Technically, it doesn't really get cold enough in Sydney for head-warming gear.
After trying all kinds of stretching methods with these boots, I think it's time to accept that they will probably forever be a size too small. I am never going to buy too-small shoes again, breaking these in was hell.
Gratuitous photo of my face; MAC's Russian Red is the best lipstick ever, I'm glad I let my friends bully me into buying it at Heathrow duty free because it was so much cheaper than it is here.
If you're wondering about the increase in outfit posts I'm doing lately on what's meant to be a lifestyle blog - it's because, well, I basically have no life right now. I did however hit up Vivid Sydney on Tuesday evening, I'll get those pictures edited and up sometime over the weekend. For now, here's my 2011 Vivid post (looking at these old pictures makes me wonder if I've lost a bit of touch with photography).
lovely outfit... im obsessing over your boots =)... here in the UK 15degrees is classed as a pretty nice spring day ha ha xo

Agreed, Sydney has pretty dismal weather at the moment, it looks like it's going to be a particularly cold winter :( I'm going to Vivid Sydney tomorrow night, I hope it's going to be as good as everybody says it is!
ReplyDeletelovely outfit :D
ReplyDeleteYou look great - love the red lipstick! Your boots are brilliant, too. Suffer for beauty, yeah! ;) xxx
ReplyDeleteYour duffle coat is exceptionally cute! I really like this outfit - any splash of red and black anywhere is a winning combination! IT IS definately colder now :( I might sound like a stalker but were to at Stockmarket on campus on Wednesday? Cause I was behind you and I was too afraid to say hi and risk sounding like a stalker :< Your red pants caught my eye haha! Your lipstick compliments your coat too, hehe!
ReplyDeleteYeah that was me, what a coincidence! I've never had anyone recognise me from the blog before, haha.
DeleteLovely outfit!Also I've just discovered your blog and it is fab <333
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny you think 15 is cold. You should see what people over here when it's 15! People go out in shorts! They're like "Hey! It's 15 degrees! It's summer" :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh, I wish I could wear what you're wearing in winter. You look so nice, especially with that beret and that lipstick. And that lipstick does look like it's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteAnd looking at your Vivid pictures from last year I remember the time I started 'really' following you. And no way, you're not losing touch with photography... you're just going through a phase! :p
freaking love the cuffed jeans look!
ReplyDeletebrilliant with the boots! glad to hear it was fun breaking in to them ;)
story of my life!
red is fabulous! xx
Yup, it's freezing. I end up wearing the same clothes over and over again because it's too cold in the morning to be creative!

Haha yeah, it's already so cold here :( Boo. Apparently living in europe isn't enough for me to not wear layers like a tourist. Anyway. I like your coat! It's so cute and it has the best colour ever.
ReplyDeleteLove your style! So glad I've come across your blog! X
ReplyDeleteGorgeous outfit, very frenchy
ReplyDeleteYour red jacket is so pretty- and I love the matching lipstick!!

you looks so stunning ;) i live at indonesia, and basically it is summer all the time.
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit! I think winter styles are the most appealing, because you can do so much, with layers, and jackets, etc.
ReplyDeleteohh i went to check out vivid last night, it was great! & people talk about russian red all the time, maybe i'll have to just buy it and see what all the fuss is about.
ReplyDeleteThe coat is adorable! I can't believe its actually June already, time flies !! Looking forward to your vivid Sydney photos :)

It feels so odd to see you Aussie bloggers in your Winter gear when we had a heatwave here in the UK the past week! You do look fab though, the colour of the coat is gorgeous :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteLoving this look!
ReplyDeleteThe lipstick is gorgeous and you look amazing
I have those boots as well - already have had them for a couple of months and they STILL hurt my feet when I wear them :(
xxx
My friend (who has them too) also said that they were really hard to break in - I'm starting to think it must be the boots!
Deleteyou look so stunning and remarkable dear! i really love your red coat and boots, great stuff <3 xx

Love your coat so, so much! And I keep looking at everyone's photos of Russian Red and it's tempting me... but I really shouldn't, darn student debts. Good call to get it in duty free though.
ReplyDeleteI've just found your blog and I think it looks lovely! I really like the coat and boots you're wearing here!

You are so beautiful, Jane! And you look well adorable in that beret! And thanks for including the name of that lipstick, I love the color!
ReplyDeletehaha " i have no life right now"- poor thing :( but very nice winter gear! it's so so wierd to see people in coats when it's just turning summer over here in america. hope it'll be a mild one for you :)
ReplyDeleteCoat, jeans and boots. Pretty much my staple pieces throughout winter.

Nonesense! You can never loose touch of your creative spark :) You can easily get stuck in ruts at times though, but you take fantastic photographs. The moment will spark again! (seriously cheese! haha)
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful too, that coat needs to be in my wardrobe!
You look so beautiful in the red coat and red lipstick! I really need to check out that colour next time i'm at MAC.

ReplyDeleteYou look like a Parisian with that outfit! I really like how there is colour since Sydney's weather is rather gloomy atm :(
ReplyDeleteLove the jeans and boots combo, looks great. The beret might have its uses in Sydney too, no nasty surprises when you're walking under the bats...
