A Blazer for Every Day Of The Week

S
So it's quite apparent to me that the blazer thing is just not going away - though the colours are changing (hello neon!) and sometimes the way we wear it (over sized, cropped)... It's just something you've got to have. So here's a few of my fave blazer style ideas from my own wardrobe...

 
 WHITEY: Other than in a science lab, you could try it with denim cut-offs like these One Teaspoon originals - and a pair of smashing heels like these blue suede Tony Bianco babies!
 
THE CLASH: This is one of my proudest clashing moments - warm orange Sportsgirl and silky pink by Staple The Label. Try mixing hot pink with turquoise or mustard to make it pop.

 
DAYWEAR: Super simple - take a neutral colour, I love the terracotta pink in this Wish blazer - pair it with jeans and a little nautical stipeyness to call in the sailors!
COLOUR BOMB: What the hell, just mix it all together and make some kind of a look with ripped tights, skulls and bondage type accessories.

 
SO FASHUN: I stole this vintage op shop blazer from my boy - over sized only really works paired with something feminine otherwise you can look sponge-bob-square-pants. After I wore this at MBFW - my boy took it back, guess he didn't know what he had till it was gone hehe.

 
THE BLUES: This is one of those blazers that I wasn't sure if I loved but its the one I wear the most. Funny that!

 
BACK TO BLACK: You can never go wrong with black. A pair of bright platform heels (these are Betts) make any otherwise simple get-up scream. This one I found on eBay years ago has subtle shoulder pad detail - you know the Lady GaGa thing? But less GaGa and more subtle. Obviously.
 

I've narrowed down a blazer search for you right here at Market HQ - if you're just not sure where to start. So much of my wardrobe is from this amazing online store - of course thanks to the $10,000 wardrobe that I won from them a few months ago. Lucky I never get tired of their labels and gorgeous threads!

Neon Clash of the Licorice All-Sort Kind

S
 
Shirt: Sportsgirl   |   Blazer: Staple The Label @ Market HQ   |   Chain Glove: MojoMade - available online here

I've been dreaming of the day when I could wear bright, neon, clashing colours and not feel like a candy shop - though I'll admit, a pair of black pants with this outfit would have made me a walking licorice-all-sort.. Hence my new style mantra was born...

"If the pants make you look like a walking idiot - opt for no pants."

I can hear my mum's voice in the back of my mind uttering some kind of old saying like "pink and green should never be seen"...  But finally - the day of the clashing colours, clashing prints and splashes of neon and tie-day are back in all their glory! All hail to the Rainbow Brite's out there walking the streets, avenging the dull greys of the world!

Although the neon trend has been growing and buzzing for quite a while now, I wanted to find the right combination of pieces before unleashing it's brazen assault on any onlooker's eye... I don't want anyone getting dizzy or vomiting from seeing all this fabulous clash. I've had this Sportsgirl shirt for quite a while now and bought a size too big so I could get away with it as both a shirt and a shirt-dress... I hadn't found the way to really make it pop, until this ridiculously gorgeous washed silk, neon pink blazer from Staple The Label came into my life. 

The only risk you run with these bold statement pieces is over-wearing them... I mean, no one gonna forget a hot pink blazer walking in the room no matter how many different things you wear it with. Have a look at some more amazing Staple The Label pieces at my fave online store Market HQ.


PS. When I was looking for an image of licorice all sorts, I found a divine recipe for Licorice All-Sort Slice on Taste.com.au - Let me know if you make it I'll be trying it out soon!

Neon & Print on the Streets of Fremantle

S
Necklace: Recreational   |   Blazer: Staple The Label @ Market HQ    |   Pants: The Story Of    |   Peace Beads: Cat Hammill

Last month I spent a few weeks in my hometown of Perth - mostly checking out Fremantle and drinking coffee at Moore & Moore. The little cafe doesn't have a line out the door each lunch-time just because of it's incredible coffee... The food is ridiculous - I had to try the tappas plate (above) a couple of times - you know, to make sure it wasn't just once-off-amazeness.... haha.


BUT, Moore & Moore is also an art gallery - showcasing some stunning artists in the old, high-ceiling, maybe-this-place-used-to-be-a-jail type vibe that Freo has going for it... I couldn't get enough of the beautiful works by Anya Brock. You can check more of her stuff out here.
