The Wishlist: Spring 2014

The warmer weather has me craving bare legs and short sleeves. I'm usually a lover of autumnal type dressing, but prospect of summer has me excited for once. I've been loving the sport luxe trend more than ever, and some of these pieces would create the perfect balance of laid-back and chic for warmer-weather ensembles. 

1. Sport Luxe

Mesh, numbers, panels and striped sleeved everything is on my wish list. I'm not the biggest fan of the "chic tracksuit pants" aspect, but when it comes to jersey style tops I'm obsessed. There are so many offerings at the moment it's hard to narrow them down and make a decision, but you can be sure to see me rocking these pieces in the warmer months.

2. Sliders

I'm absolutely in love with the pair I already own and I find myself wearing them daily, so I've been wanting to extend my collection. They are much cuter than thongs and look much more put together, yet are just as comfortable if not more so. I would love some funkier ones like the holographic style featured above, but I'd also like some Birks for ultra-comfiness. 

3. Crystals 

I've always loved the aesthetic of crystals and geodes, and now that they're becoming a common feature in jewellery I couldn't be happier. I would love a pointed crystal necklace as I think there is just something so cool about them, especially worn around the neck.

4. Marc Jacobs Holographic Pieces

I would be over the moon with any of them, and while the silver collection is largely sold out, the coloured are just as pretty. I really need a new smallish pouch just for my cards and one of these would be perfect! 

5. Cateyed Sunglasses

In Australia sunglasses are necessary all year round because even in the winter the glare from the clouds is blinding. I have so many oversized shades, but am lacking in the cat eye department because I haven't been able to find my ideal pair. 

6. Phone Case

This kind of counts as an accessory in my eyes. I've been eyeing up the Rifle Paper Co 'city' themed cases and have my heart set on the Paris one. I would honestly be happy with any of their cases though, to be honest.

The Futuristic Trend: Clear Clutch

Exam week starts this coming Monday, so as you can imagine I've been spending most of my days studying and drinking cups and cups of coffee. I thought I'd drop in quickly before bed to write a post on a trend you will know I'm loving if you're a reader of my blog - the futuristic trend. This encompasses everything clear, holographic or that just has that super modern edge to it. I just find pieces in this genre very unique, simple, and most of all, eye-catching.

My favourite piece I own that fits into this trend is my clear clutch. These have been around for awhile, but my love for them has stayed strong. It took me a long time to find a design  I was happy with and when I did I bought it instantly! This one comes with a long golden chain so I can wear it as a shoulder bag if I want, but I find myself leaning more towards rocking it as a clutch because it's so small and light.

A lot of people are daunted by the idea of onlookers being able to see every little thing you're carrying around, and I was too, but this particular design came with a black pouch that slips inside and fits anything you wouldn't want others being able to scope out such as your ID, money and phone. With this security measure in place you're free to display your cuter items such as your sunglasses and lipstick, like I have, and really make the clutch personalised.

Are you loving the futuristic trend as much as me?

Current Love: Neutrals

There has been a chill to the air with a glare to the sky the past week which is typical of my city and that is what prompted me to wear these two pieces non stop. I never thought I would, but I love the mohair/fuzzy sweater trend and even have another on its way in the mail.

My glasses are a pair in the colour 'fawn' which I think describes them perfectly. They're a light, neutral brown and are a nice change from my identical pair in black. I am definitely a black girl at heart but I've been finding myself wearing more oatmeals and neutrals, which is different, but I'm loving it.
