off duty.


Outfit number three and I'm motivated to maintaining my resolution. My striped breton, boyfriend jeans, cross shoulder bag and sandals have been on high rotation throughout January. Yes I know this look would translate 100 times better on Miranda Kerr, but hey I'm doing the best with what I've got. It's funny because after looking at the product description on Shopbop, I realise the distressed patch on my knee is really supposed to hit mid thigh. Petite power!

I was gutted when my only day off with Jack which we had planned as a beach day ended up as tops of 23 but alas we went to Bondi, ate some burritos and froyo and took some photos. This is just one of those no fuss, mindless wardrobe choices that I'm constantly reaching for went I need to look semi-presentable. Other than that I've resulted to wearing my gym gear while I'm out doing boring things (yes I've become one of of those women) like posting speeding fines, buying groceries and dropping off dry cleaning. It's actually really effective because part of the pain of going to work out is getting ready so at least if I'm dressed for it I'm half way there.

What's your no fuss outfit?

date night.

Following on from my previous post and my style resolution for the new year (which you all seem to agree with, I present to you my day to night outfit which I wore on the day of sweltering 40 degree temperatures (surprised you can't see all the shine on my face)/ Jack's birthday/ our two year anniversary. My first sneaky buy for the year was a pair of leather shorts from local brand UNIF.M that I bought and wore on the day (a planned purchase if I ever saw one) and ticks all the boxes re: wardrobe staple, top quality, all-year round wear. Off to a good start. After taking these we headed to Sake in the Rocks for our dinner date - I recommend the kingfish jalapeno and popcorn shrimp for those of you playing along at home. Jack took me to eat kaiseki Japanese on our first date so we've made it a bit of a tradition to dine Japanese on special occasions... scrap that. We eat Japanese all the time now. Just trying to keep up with the japonisme trend from SS13.

Still a sucker for flowers. Who else is with me?

Does anyone see the resemblance to Nicole Warne?

Never been much of a fan of Oroton (in fact I've only ever considered it an accessories brand that I can buy things for my mum from), but these latest campaign images beg me to reconsider. Whoever in Oroton that decided to get Tommy Ton on board for their latest campaign shoot is a genius. They look so much more appealing and accessible and still stay true to the style JAK & JIL, which we've known and loved. Never seen anything like it from an accessories label (correct me if I'm wrong) - I would have never thought candid, cropped, outfit detail images would work so effectively on a campaign. It really works on both levels for the consumer (apologies for taking my marketing spin on this) - for the high fashion pack, synonomous for featuring on such style blogs and also for the masses who can really appreciate the everyday, mundane, caught in the moment shots. And I love the styling, really compliments the bags whilst not taking the attention away from it. I read it was Taylor Tomasi Hill's doing (and with the end result, I wouldn't be surprised). These looked amazing in the window of my local Oroton and would look equally as exciting as a double page spread in a magazine. I'm extremely impressed, especially for an Australian brand. It seems Oroton, that I have underestimated you. My bad.
