in with the new

I’m not going to lie. I was pretty excited to come across these sandals in my size over the weekend. Certainly going to be making the most of every sunny moment I can in these! I’ll also note that this is quite possibly the closest thing to a birkenstock you will see me buy – I am still doing all I can to hold out!

Buy yourself a pair of Sol Sana Camillia Sandals on the General Pants Website

love | mlm the label winter 14 collection

mlm is the local label which can do no wrong. Each and every season my wish list gets just a little longer.

This new collection is completely monochrome, except for one peach coloured shirt above! Every-day chic staples like the silk cami are back and paired with much loved basics including slouchy pants, shift dresses, peplum skirts, as well as mlm’s take on the womens shirt. The collections highlights would be the cool ejection of faux fur and the very glamorous floral embossed brocade fabric.

Be sure to view the whole collection and find yourself a little something on the mlm website or from The Birdcage Boutique.

case in point

I have to admit, I take my laptop with me everywhere. Having a very light MacBook Air allows me to carry it around easily and I find it so much easier to work on than an iPad. As we find it more than important to transport our beloved laptops in a safe but fashionable sleeve I thought I’d do a little research and find my top five available to purchase now… I have to admit, iPads are easier to shop for. There are so many options and there weren’t that many laptop cases at all. If you have any brands which you think have a great range feel free to let me know.

a turkish encounter – mavi jeans

I have always had a penchant for things hailing from Turkey. Turkish beach towels, mosaic lamps, Turkish delight… my boyfriend! So when I discovered that Mavi was founded in Istanbul, it made total sense why I have always been drawn to this brand.

Mavi (the Turkish word for blue) are known around the world for their luxe, superbly-fitting premium denim, which works for every woman, no matter her size or shape.

In the pictures above I am wearing the Alexa jeans, from the Mavi Reformation Collection. With a skinny leg fit and flattering high waist, the Alexa is perfect paired with a denim shirt and heels. Come winter, I will team these jeans with heavier knit jumpers, jackets and boots.

The shade of blue (or should I say shade of mavi?) and classic cut makes the Alexa so versatile. I can see them working with almost everything in my wardrobe. The perfect pair of jeans for a lazy weekend wandering around Bondi Markets…or for the shopping trip of a lifetime seeking an exquisite mosaic lamp at The Grand Bazaar.
