THE CBB

CBB = Chic Black Blazer. Everyone needs a good CBB in their closet. I've been hunting for the perfect black blazer for so long (I always have to borrow from a friend for job interviews) but lucky for me I got to pick out this stunning Wish blazer when participating in the Wish Style Challenge. Can't wait to see how other bloggers have styled items from Wish's A/W13 collection x Sharday

yaletown

These weekend snaps were taken in the uber luxe area of Vancouver called Yaletown. I'm loving my new Acne sweater dress, a last minute purchase before I left Australia, which has come in handy more than once.

Also, apologies for my schizophrenic dressing - it seems one post I'm in a sheer dress and the next I'm all rugged up freezing my butt off. The thing is, it's about to get a whole lot more crazy as I'm FLYING BACK TO AUSTRALIA TOMORROW. My best friend's getting married and I'm super proud to be the maid of honour. So get ready for more North meets South hemispheric dressing! x Sharday

kaleidoscope jungle

Today was spent hanging about in an urban jungle wearing my amazing new kaleidoscope S T E E L E  dress. Can't wait to wear this baby in Summer. But until then I'll have to pair it with tights, jackets and boots! xx Sharday

Shop my look:

noir & navy

Who said you can't wear black & navy together? Sometimes I like to prove these stupid 'fashion rules' wrong. Other examples are "never wear double denim", "red and green should never be seen" and for American's "never wear white shoes after Labor Day" (whatever that means :S). xx Sharday

study girl

Introducing 'study girl Sharday': this is pretty much what I wear on a daily basis to uni. Mix and match a few jeans, jackets, knits and voila! University is about learning, drinking coffee and procrastinating on Facebook. Not high heels, mini skirts and fluff etc etc. Save that for the weekend.. which I hope you all enjoyed! xx Sharday

holidays

Yay for uni holidays! The other day Gabby and I made a mid-week visit to Luna Park & St Kilda pier. The downside of uni holidays are that it's also school holidays (grr little kids) and holidays don't last forever :( 

P.s. Loving my new Faddoul vest that I won from the Dark Blue Stripes giveaway.. soo lucky!

by the sea

It's funny how deceiving these pictures are. St Kilda beach looking sunny and warm, when in actual fact there were torrential winds and an earthquake the day before! My mantra (while my legs were in the process of snapping off) was "all for fashion", hahah! xx Shardette

P.s. This white bunny angora sweater comes from the same family as the mauve.. KAWAII!

How sweet is this puffer jacket? One of my latest bargain purchases of $40 and all thanks to two of my stylish gal pal's for the tip. Another staple to get me through winter!

auburn

As I mentioned in my last post, I've just moved to St Kilda East. 

First objective: find a good cafe. So my man & I tried Wall Two 80 on the weekend.

Pretty decent coffee and amazing artwork, but we're still searching for that certain 'je ne sais quoi'. 

Any cafe tips would be super appreciated.  xx Sharday

CAMO

I have a feeling that this camo parka is going to help me get through Winter. It's functional, it's warm & it's my new pal! Now you have to tell me, what's going to get you through Winter? Hot chocolate, red wine, spooning? :P  xx Sharday

rothschild boulevard

Copper has got to be the most perfect colour for when your strolling down Tel Aviv's most beautiful boulevard. It's the kind of colour I normally stray away from, even though I'm told it's 'my' colour by everyone. So when I saw this knitted gem at H&M, with cute elbow patches and a pocket, I couldn't say no! Also paired with some other bargains: $10 leather shorts from Camberwell markets and $8 shades from a store in Israel. GENUIS!

seaside

Hello from the Northern Hemisphere. It's so cold up here, hence the all black attire!

Even though it's a little chilly in Tel Aviv, we headed down to the beach yesterday to suss out the marina etc. My man and I had the most amazing home made ravioli from the market's pasta bar. Yumm. Don't worry, lot's of hummus will be consumed in the near future!  xx Shardette
