Lusting Lately - The Perfect Turtleneck




I honestly don't think I have ever worn a turtleneck in my life. However, I can't stop daydreaming about the perfect cropped turtleneck tank top! I have been searching endlessly in thrift stores for a turtleneck that I can DIY into my dream top and I have been coming up empty handed. Sure, I find turtlenecks, lots and lots of turtlenecks, but they are always worn out and cut awkwardly. So here is my dilemma, do I keep searching or do I cough up the money and buy the one in the second photo from threadsense?

This is September












To me this is what September is all about; the last of the summer dresses, blackberry picking in gumboots, mixing cozy sweaters with perfectly worn in shorts, wine on the beach, delicious stone fruits from farmers markets, meals with friends and split back top (I've been obsessive over those.)

Loafer Love




               
               
                 
These are the perfect shoes in my eyes, they are everything this girl could want from a pair of shoes;  flat, pointy, black, animal print, leather, textured, with a thin but noticeable bow perfectly tied in the centre. Who could ask for more?

DIY Inspiration: Unique Button Up


I love when a simple DIY can take a common item of clothing and make it a stand out piece. The unique hemline on this shirt makes it so unique and fresh and it would be such a simple DIY to do! I am completely falling head over heels for the crop top trend going on right now but the fact that this shirt is cropped in the back vs. the front means I don't have do nearly as many sit ups before I am comfortable to wear it.

If you are in need of some high waisted shorts to go with your button up make sure you check out our store!

Bags are packed, I'm ready to go....









I feel like I have been practically living out of my suitcase for the last year or so. However, I sadly do not look even close to as glamorous as Lea Seydoux does in this editorial for Elle Korea.

NYFW




The current lack of internet at my house has prevented me from my usual obsessing over every show at NYFW. However, I did manage catch Proenza Schouler's new collection and it absolutely blew my mind. Embroidered on chain mail? Oh the things this makes me want to do! Chain mail details on shorts? Shirts? Jackets? Dresses? Screw studding things, this is my new obsession.

Cool Kat







A few of my favourite things this week; Faded striped denim, Sequins to the ground, Leopard and denim, Skeletor up in arms and a dreamy updo. 

 Ive been completely obsesed with Sincerely, Jules and her effortlessly edgy style as of late (photos One and Six.)  I love that she always looks feminine yet rarely will you see her in frills and florals. What I would do to get in that girls closet!
