Rock It!

As the year comes to an end I wanted to share my favorite pieces from Simply Be this season. These items are more suited to my readers in the northern hemisphere so I hope you guys draw some inspiration as your side or the world gets cooler.

Anna Scholz Stretch PU Pants (selling fast)- £60.00
Dropkick Murphy's Band Tee - Bought at a gig
Black Lace Moto Jacket - $39.50UDS
Simply Be Grey Studded Bag (sold out) - £55.00
Jeffery Campbell Fox Tick Wedges - $139.95

I must say I LOVE this BAG!!!! If Simply Be created this style in multiple colours I'd buy them all!

These pants are HOT! I'm so grumpy that it's summer here in Australia as I absolutely adore them. I'm wearing these in a size 14. I ordered the 16 originally but they were too loose at the back and around the crotch but the smaller size fits like a dream.

When I saw these I instantly thought Rock Chic! They are smooth, soft and have a good amount of stretch. I can't wait to style these with lots of goodies once Autumn hits!

If they are sold out of your size demand them back! Or see if any other retailers sell these awesome pants via the Anna Scholz website.

The black lace moto jacket which I picked up from Hot Topic is my new summer staple. Being a lace fabric it is great for the sometimes chilly nights we have in Melbourne at the start of summer.

As you can see I've also added a new pair of Jeffery Campbell's to my collection. The black Foxy Tick are amazing! I followed the reviews via website and ordered these a size down due to the width. I'm wear a size 9 and I have a narrow/normal sized 10 foot. If you have a wider foot stick with your usual size.

Bespoke Princes Belted Mac - £35.00

For the colder months you can never have too many trenchcoats/mac's. So why not have a printed Mac? I will wear this all winter with every black item I have in my wardrobe and maybe a little pop of colour here and there.

I'm wearing this coat in the 16 and its still roomy enough to accommodate for lots of layer underneath. It comes with a fabric belt in the same print but also looks great with all of my black waist belts.

These shots were taken by the amazing Michelle Grace Hunder Photography. It's such a pleasure to work with Michelle we always have so much fun and breeze through each shoot. Michelle is a great local photographer based in Melbourne so ad her via facebook and book her asap!

Baby it's cold outside

For my readers here southern hemisphere I thought I'd feature my favorite winter coats this week. Two items I find every woman needs to combat the winter chills are a classic blazer and a trench coat. I go crazy in the the colder months for outerwear as you might notice but they are items that will last you for many years to come and are a sound wardrobe investment.

City Chic Leather Trim Blazer - $129.00AU
Sold out online due to the last two fantastic sales but still instore

Torrid Black and Grey Leopard Tonal Mini Skirt - $38.50US

This blazer is the warmest item in my wardrobe at the moment. The corduroy and suede fabric is very soft and cosy and the pleather trim is my favorite feature, it really gives the jacket an edgy look.

Paired with the super cute black and grey leopard mini from Torrid and some thick stockings. The skirt is a size 0 and very stretchy and I find that I can wear it both shorter or closer to knee length by simply pulling it up or down. If pulled down to the hips its almost a really cute pencil skirt, I'd love to have this in lots of different prints and colours.

I'm wearing this in a size 14 and I find it much more roomy at the waist than my other City Chic jackets, but as you can see it was nothing a waist belt did can't fix! Blazers are so east to style be it like I've shown or with a graphic tee and your favorite skinny jeans.

Nickel Skull with Multi-Color Rhinestone Ring - $14.00US

I'm always a sucker for skulls and when I saw this pop up on Torrid it had to be mine. This has an stretch band, I'm wearing a size 7/8 and i can fit it perfectly on my middle finger. If you look at the close ups on the website you will see it has multi-coloured rhinestones within the eyes, its really a great piece of funky costume jewelery. I've worn this ring every day since it arrived!

Carmakoma Skimmer Trenchcoat - $231.39US
Dress - H&M

I've always been in love with Trench-coats, the simple classic cuts suit so many shapes but having a large chest I've not had much luck finding the perfect fit both in waist and bust.

Carmakoma have created the best trench for a curvy and plus size figure! The Skimmer is a classic trench with all trimmings made of 100% cotton and and features a high collar, loads of buttons, and a slimming a-line shape.

I'm wearing a XS in this jacket and it is a perfect fit, I can wrap the adjustable waist belt around twice but you can also find our other ways to secure the strap via the websites product shots.

I feel amazing in this coat, there is something so stylish yet effortless about the design. Either fully buttoned or open I love mixing and matching outfits with this. For more coat options from Carmakoma click here, the have stock sizes XS to L (US 12-22)

Thank you again to Katherine Davis for her amazing work behind camera! She is a dream to work with!
