It's that time of the year again, when a chill in the air tells us that Winter is close by! We all long to perfect that European Winter style with lavish fur jackets and trench coats, but here in Australia the weather sadly doesn't always permit us to do so.
My solution? Faux fur vests (cue love heart eyes).
Fur vests can emulate that classic European style without making you pass out from heat exhaustion (Now, that's always a bonus). You'll be speaking Italian in no time. Bellissimo!
I'm loving crisp, white and cream shades paired together. There once was a day when pairing 'white on white' was seen as a fashion fail, but that day is not today! A prime example of this season's 'neutrals' trend is the recent Cameo the Label collection which was showcased at the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. If you haven't already had a peek at this collection, I would highly recommend that you do!
I'm a bit of a softie when it comes to sheer materials, so I completely fell for this sheer blouse from Bardot. Clean, white blouse's are a popular trend at current and we don't have to guess why. A simple, sleek blouse can speak elegance, professionalism, femininity and street style combined. Who wouldn't want to give off those vibes?
Browns and deep, rustic tones can add warmth to a neutral inspired outfit. Use these colours to give your 'endless white' attire a balanced feel and create contrast without turning the outfit into monochrome mania. A bright colour on the nails and lips also never hurt anyone! (I love bright pinks and reds but darker colours like crimson or deep purple can also have the same bold effect).
Anyone else super excited to watch the Logies tonight? For those of you not familiar with the Australian TV Week Logie Awards, they're basically the biggest Aussie TV awards of the year! For most of us, they're also a forum to check out the most stunning dresses by all of Australia's biggest designers. You may even catch my review of the red carpet glamour from tonight's event up on the blog in the next few weeks.
That's all from me for today. Don't forget to check out the Instagram page for daily details! http://instagram.com/thecrystalcollar#
