Outfit of the Day: never too old to wear Mickey Mouse, right?

 Started the day with coffee and my favourite macaron flavours: pistachio and raspberry, sitting pretty on my favourite chair by Hans Wegner (the 'wishbone' or 'ychair' or 'ch24')

 Today's outfit: Uniqlo Mickey Mouse tee, Rag&Bone The Dre jeans (pale wash available here), Proenza Schouler PS11 Classic (available here, here and here) , Isabel Marant Dicker boots in Anthracite (available here and here), X Jain felted wool hoodie (really tailored/slim-fit, have had it for years, finally using it only recently)

 Nars blush duo: How could I live without you?

 I count at least five Mickey Mouse tops in my wardrobe *gulp*

Tea time! Bought this gorgeous cast iron in Kyoto, took forever to choose one, and 3 years to take it out of its beautifully wrapped box!

New in: Isabel Marant Dicker boots in Gris

Greetings from Paris! After a couple of days in London, I have arrived in the city of Light. Still exhausted but oh so excited! I brought these boots with me, which arrived a few days before I left, and they are so comfy they haven't required any breaking in, just like my anthracite pair. It's going to be a busy week, with quite a few shows on my schedule, and even an interview with one of my favourite haute couture designers! Hope to share more this week here and on Instagram, so watch this space!

Bisons from Paris!

Black and white: Suno plaid shorts playsuit

Having worn them as a kid in the 80's (yes, I'm old) I never thought I would ever wear a playsuit again. Whilst pregnant with Lil' Brigs #2, I came across this Suno playsuit at the Lands End store in Sydney (love that store, btw! How I seriously wish they had an online store! Them and Belinda...).  I was drawn to the plaid, and thought how practical it'd be: buttons at the front, shorts to run after the kids in...A few months later I was so happy I decided to get them, they have been a staple in my wardrobe for the past year and is still going strong (wearing them as I type).  I've worn them in all four-seasons (with the help of layering in colder weather), and plan to bring it with me on my trip to Paris.

Has anyone embraced the playfulness of the playsuit?

Have a great weekend everyone!

New in & What I wore today: Ray Ban Folding Wayfarers and ASOS anchor dress

It all started with this post by Garance Dore. A I saw the header picture and read on, my eyes went as wide as teacups: foldable sunglasses?!? Where have you been all my life? I had been considering a new pair of black sunglasses anyway, and when I read about these I couldn't stop thinking about how perfect they'll be for traveling (so these are coming with me to Paris in 3 weeks time for sure).  These are seriously brilliant, and I'm so glad I got them! Fold them and put them in your pocket when entering a store instead of fumbling in your bag for the case, or instead of pushing them up onto your hair and getting tangled with the nose pads (of my aviators), or dropping them tto the ground when you bend down. You can get a pair here.

Ray-Ban foldable Wayfarer sunglasses (I bought the polarized version - still much cheaper than any other sunglasses I own)

Ok, sorry to scare you guys, but I thought I'd show how they fit on the face.  I'm so glad I went in store to try them on, as I was sure I'd go for the bigger/oversized pair, but on trying decided on the original size. n.b. I didn't intend the photo to be fuzzy, but with the camera on timer this is the best I could do...

1. ASOS anchor dress (available here), 2. Chanel matte calfskin reissue bag with gold hardware (found one here and here), 3. Woolworths (yes, my friends, Woolworths!) fleece-lined leggings, 4. Isabel Marant Dicker boots in Anthracite (available here and here)
