Steele Melbourne Reverie

Over the past few years I’ve slowly been adding gorgeous pieces from Steele Melbourne to my closet. I’ve always been impressed by the designers vision of creating beautiful clothing which inspires a fresh, feminine and laid-back attitude. Each season using captivating prints and soft silhouettes that is Steele’s signature style.

Inspired by the Utilitarian trend set for winter, Steele have adapted their feminine and boho-chic style to fuse harmoniously with shades of army green and a soft camo print. Gold, uniform-style button elements add pops of detail to classic monochrome and effortless prints, easily transitioned from day to night wear. 

The new collection embraces the laid-back Australian ethos, whilst still maintaining casual elegance. With a variety of texture and mixing neutral shades, the range creates an aesthetic and functional addition to any wardrobe this season.

My absolute must-have pieces from the Steele Melbourne Reverie collection include the Adorn Dress . Rune Dress .  Asher Fringed Knit in Black and Anika Leather Skirt.

Love | Lee Denim W15 Campaign

Lee Denim‘s new campaign captures adventure and good times, all within the time span of 24 hours.

The adventure begins with a physical journey. A magical mystery tour with your best mate or your best girl. It’s that cheap train or greyhound bus fare that gets to you to city. Nothing is planned. They’re flying by the seat of their pants and seeing where the good times take them…

Taking you from day to night and back to day again. From the life of the party, to the the quiet moments on route to the next destination then the intimate moments at a bar and the essential early hours snack mission and blinding light of the next morning.

The full campaign shot over 24 hours can be viewed on the Lee website and you can do a little shopping while your there too. Click here.

New To My Closet | Maurie & Eve Vera Jumper

If there’s one brand I can turn to each and every Winter for the perfect jumper it’s Maurie and Eve. I love their signature oversized style and the high cut side detail on this particular piece. The Vera Jumper will be perfectly layered with a dress or teamed with a leather mini. I can’t wait to wear it out. Look out for a personal shoot featuring this jumper shortly.

To purchase this jumper for yourself, head to The Iconic.

Faddoul AW15 Chant Collection

The gorgeous new Faddoul AW15 Chant Collection, is an ode to our inner Francophile. Every piece delivers the typical nonchalance of an enigmatic Parisian woman. A classic midi skirt that shows a hint of skin when she sits down in a café. A black jacket thrown carelessly over a grey coat as she wanders through the wintry streets of the city. A modern ensemble that will make her feel beautiful without being perfect.

Top of my wish list, the Boyer Knit, Flute Skirt and Hoban V Neck Dress; because I can’t go past the perfect Faddoul v-neck smock dress shape. I also love the Owen Knit and Forte Drape Coat in Navy.
