Wearing: Country Road silk shirt (similar here) | KAHLO leather skirt (similar here & here) | Sandali slide sandals(similar here) | Proenza Schouler Mini Satchel bag | Ray Ban Wayfarer sunglassesAll black equations call for a neat mix of texture and volume, meaning it’s on with the leathers and silk button-downs. Still thoroughly enjoying the current reign of the slide sandal – their thick soles and solid construction keeps them firmly capable of anchoring outfits like this, and I enjoy giving them the chance to do so. Quite often. Heels …

Today’s Special: Veda Jacket & Pattern Mix
I had the fortune to get a lovely little package in the mail from VEDA..Inside was a motorcycle style jacket, but made out of sheer black material, with big fat silver zippers and snaps, and soft black leather sleeves. I don’t own anything like it, and I love it love it LOVE IT. I’ve been wearing it over all my dresses and it looks good with every skirt. I’m not exaggerating, freals. One thing that is strange about this lil ensemble here…nothing in this outfit is vintage. That …

Tropical Garden
Black and white, you just can’t go wrong! Talulah’s modern luxe dress is a textured, colour blocked, v neck midi dress. A little cheeky side thigh split creates a sexy vibe to an already very sophisticated piece. Made from a stretch, ribbed Ponte fabric this dress, with it’s contrast black and white panels creates that optical illusion of waist which is ultra flattering on any body. Before I went away to Bali, I had a little online shopping splurge (as we all do). I found this great one stop shop …

Frangipani White
The little chic dress in white, doesn’t get much better. Crisp white always makes for a flattering and feminine look and this cotton lace frill just adds that extra touch. The belt like detailing, cut out sides and front hem split combine to make a great “go to” dress for party’s, wedding and evening events. This look can be toned down with a funky leather biker jacket or even that oversized denim shirt tied loosely around the hips. I wanted to add colour so I placed on bold pumps and…

Jazz It Up
Sometimes a simple singlet or basic print top isn’t enough to Jazz your outfit up. I’m always on the look for a dressy and structured top, a top that can be a “go to” for weddings and those sporadic dressy events. Nothing beats a multi functional piece of clothing and thats what I love so much about this top. I’ve worn it with a high waisted skirt, for the more evening look and today it’s teamed with shorts, to show you it in a casual vibe. Now I know the …

Jungle Fever Bali Styles
Another must have piece to pack for your up and coming winter escape is a jumpsuit! To me a jumpsuit is a trans seasonal piece, with a simple jacket this look can be transformed for autumn. Due to this Bali heat, the jumpsuit was left to shine on it’s own. Team with simple sandals, or mix in the pop colour heel for a more dresser look. I’m all about the tropical print and this new label Pfeiffer, did tropical so well!Wearing Pfeiffer Jumpsuit and Tony Bianco Heels. Nikki xoxLocation: …

perks of the job
hello! i won’t bother to make excuses for myself – when i started this blog, i was essentially a secretary in an office i loved but didn’t find very satisfying, and i’ve since bounced from job to job, remaining unsatisfied – until now. this blog served as a fantastic means of creative expression, a way to force myself to do what i love even though i wasn’t getting paid for it – it’s rather bittersweet that i’ve found a job now that is so fulfilling, where i get to be as creative as …

Today’s Special: Vintage Favorites
Sometimes I wonder if you could partially see through me if the lights were bright enoughREVERSIBLE LEATHER & SUEDE CROCHET PATCHWORK JACKET: Vintage // PSYCHEDELIC COTTON DRESS: Thrift // VAMPIRIC PAPER-WHITE PALLOR: courtesy of Netflix Instant (S1-4 of FNL to be specific)I wear this dress backwards, back to front (like Isaac Mizrahi’s mom). I like the zipper down the front better than a high neck. I’ve had it for about 5 years and I am still not sick of it, although people who see me someone often might be (sowwy)Would our faces …

Toni & Guy Shoot!
How-To Photo: Refinery 29 Oh my lawd!! So a few weeks ago I did a hair meets wardrobe how-to shoot for Refinery 29/Toni & Guy based around a classic hair style (I nicknamed it Mad Men). This is so the opposite to me that I thought f**k it and went for it. The team picked out a classic shirt and skirt and I added my own heels. Product wise the team used their Classic Collection (check here for where to buy). Always interesting to see another version of yourself…

A few things in my life that I currently have a keen interest in:1. REAL MAIL!You can send it to me here, if you like.2. TRIPLE SOLE CREEPERS.I bought these in LA a few weeks ago.

UK label supefat CREEPERS! People give you the EYE when you wear these, I gotta tell ya.3. …

cooking your nemesis
don’t worry, faithful readers; this is not the post where i lose my mind and post a cannibalistic recipe. no, tonight i conquered one of my great cooking rivals – scallops. these (and potato gnocchi, which is for some reason absolutely impossible for me to properly make from scratch and cook without turning it into a slimy mush) have been my great culinary failing every time i’ve tried to make them at home, and it’s hard to express the frustration this causes me – i’m trying to think of it’s other-job …
