This is the same Jeanswest wool cardigan you saw a couple of posts ago HERE, paired with a grey knit dress and over the knee boots.  Today a completely different look with black jeans and flat boots; 

Speaking of the boots they are new in from Misano and as expected are an absolutely beautiful shoe, amazing quality and made in Portugal. I love this 'date' colour and the low cut ankle is a very flattering.  Being leather and leather lined with a low heel I have found they are really comfy and are a boot I can easily wear all day and walk for miles in.

They also come in black and navy (I think I need all three colours!) and can be found online and instore at Zomp.

Jeanswest latest collection for Autumn/Winter 2016, featuring pure Australian wool and extra fine Merino wool, is some of their best work.  And given the chill in the air lately, the timing couldn't be better. The value for money given these pieces are 100% wool is truly incredible and the quality exceptional.  I have seen acrylic versions of both this dress and cardigan elsewhere and they have been far more pricey.

I've been on the hunt for a dress that I could wear with over the knee boots and this is finally the one. I think it would also look great with black ankle boots and a leather jacket or even white Stan Smith's more an easy casual look.

The cardigan is another amazingly versatile piece, the wool is thick and super warm and a nice alternative to a blazer of a coat.  I know this piece is definitely going to be on high rotation and looks just as good layered over a shift dress as it does jeans.

On another note, anyone got any tips to make my boots stay up?!

Wedges- Nine West (old, great option here as seen on Princess Kate!)

You know when you put something on and you really just feel like it's you.  Well that is this outfit for me, everything about it feels very ME!  The jeans are a perfect fit and so comfy, the wedges give me height and extra leg length, this Bohemian Traders top is pretty, floaty and just the right amount of 'hippy' that I love, a silver cuff has always been my go to piece of jewellery for many many years now, and the earrings compliment it all beautifully.  I wore this exact same outfit both Saturday and Sunday last weekend, I love it so much, just swapping the wedges for my Birks for a trip to the zoo. 

Have a close look at the sterling silver cuff I'm wearing, it is new in from Najo Jewellery and is absolutely beautiful and such amazing quality.  The silver has been woven to create this amazing basket weave effect, making it so unique and perfect to wear on its own- or stack it up with a mass of bangles.  The sterling silver earrings are also from Najo Jewellery, featuring this intricate cut out that matches this bohemian style top so perfectly.

On another note, soooooo need a haircut.  I'm so time poor these days as a mum, working full time, plus the bloggity, that a hair cut has kept moving to the bottom of the list, along with an eye check and trip to the dentist.  Oops! Anyone else with me on this?

Last weekend I was fortunate enough to be a guest at Nuffnang Fashionopolis, Australia's very first fashion blogger industry event hosted by the Nuffnang team and the lovely Lady Melbourne.  It was such a fantastic day where I got to learn more about the business of blogging, catch up with my fellow Aussie fashion bloggers, and finally meet the person behind the blog face to face in many instances!!   Of course a gathering of fashion bloggers is a wardrobe crisis inducing event so I kept it pretty simple with leather pants and a silk shirt- of which I did manage to spill my coffee on during the day : /

You can find the Nuffnang Fashionopolis link up and all the blog posts by other bloggers who attended HERE!
Here are some of my pics of the day, can you spot some familiar faces below : )
