Trench-er-ous

I know Perth is Australia's 'Windy City' but MAN today was intense! Yesterday I wasn't quite prepared for the unexpected chill so this morning I made sure to rug up in my trench and scarf.

Rubberised sports bobby pins are amazing and even walking in the super winds my bun stayed in top form :)

The higher the heel the closer to God

Cardigan: Valleygirl

Dear High Heeled Shoes,

I'd just like to say a large thank you for not only giving me that extra bit of height, but also for making my legs look longer and leaner than they are in reality.

Sincerely,

Rachel

I accompanied a friend to get a piercing this afternoon and must have looked quite a sight teetering into Off Ya Tree in my nude/pastel preppy ensemble complete with heels and bouncy ponytail. Fun fact: a smiley piercing apparently doesn't hurt as much as it looks like it does... I still cringed.

Another fun fact: skirts with crossover fronts that are already slightly shorter than you're comfortable with do not do so well in windy situations. Like St George's freaking Terrace.

Popped my ASOS cherry.

I usually steer clear of even looking at nice online stores since even though the prices may be good, the shipping costs to Australia are usually something just short of daylight robbery- enter ASOS with FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE (no minimum spend required) yes, you heard me. Music to my ears.

Anywhoo, I am well aware that I'm a bit behind on the ASOS bandwagon, but I finally made my first purchase and got way too excited when I came home to the package on my doorstep. Another thing I love is that they estimate delivery to be 13-14 days and it actually took that long, no agonisingly long wait!

My haul: over-the-knee socks, oversized faux fur clutch (and when they say oversized, they're not kidding!), 2 rings and a bustier look knit jumper. I stupidly ordered the rings in a size small so they only fit on either my left ring finger, or my right pinkie which is a bit of a downer since I usually wear oversized rings on my middle fingers but hey, you learn.

And just to throw it in there, my new scarf from Forever New, because it is so nice and soft and fluffy but part of me dies a little each time I notice a thread that has been snagged on something.

Bring on winter.
