Lookbook | First Day of Winter

This week we had the taste of the chilliness to come. I had to gather all the knits I could find in my wardrobe which to my surprise is not many at all. Must have sold most of them towards the end of last year to clear out some wardrobe space.

This little look I’ve put together is just something that I wear to work now and then. I am super keen on layering things up because the heating is a bit out dated or perhaps shall we say non existent at work and I often find the 14-15 degree inside temperature unbearable.

On the bright side of things, only half a week left in this miserable cold then off we go to Hong Kong and Malaysia.

I’ve been trying to resist the urge to online shop as I’ll be able to shop in Asia anyway. Shall we say it’s been a hard month. I bought 2 bags in the span of 2 days as a consolation for all the effort I have spent on saving. Let me assure you these are necessary buys for work and business purposes..

Happy new year everyone!

Thank you so much for your support. Last year was one great year and hopefully this year will be twice as great.

Highlights of last year for me include:

• Finishing my internship, becoming registered and having a full-time job as a pharmacist
• Thailand
• Cairns & Brisbane
• Experiencing diving
• The many photoshoots, commercial shoots and runway shows including NZ fashion week which was awesome

I’ll be heading over to Fiji (for the third time) for hopefully some sun, sand and tan this weekend, will update soon. Having visited this place 3 times in the past year and a half I still can’t get enough of it. I’ll also be doing a post on all the online stores that I have shopped on the last year and their reviews.

I have recently received a bundle of parcels from a few online stores and have collected a few things here and there from boxing day shopping which I’ll also share later. But for now, below is a look book I’ve pieced together from some of the few new things I got recently.

Rough it up

Took these shots a few weeks ago but never had the chance to upload them. If you refer back to my older posts, you will have seen that I bought several jackets from a cute little opshop by where I live.

I have never been a huge fan of denim jackets or leather jackets but this was too good of a buy to be missed. It’s a vintagey style denim jacket with leather detailing in the collar and the panels down the front. It’s super thick so it keeps me nice and warm during these colder days.

I also made quite a few purchases last month. Since Urban Outfitters were doing free shipping last month, I bought several items from them. The items I got were pretty disappointing to be honest, it just doesn’t really reflect what it looked like on the web browser, so I’m not sure whether I want to wear the pieces yet. I also made several spontaneous purchases on ASOS, NZSale, Beautybay this weekend and also several pieces of jewelry which I will definitely post up in a later post! Not quite sure what’s up with this kind of spending, probably because it’s too cold outside and I’m cooped up in bed with my electric blanket on, browsing on the ipad or phone.

On another note, I am booking another holiday to get away from this cold will keep you posted hopefully tomorrow on where I am traveling to. Fingers cross we will book the flights tonight!
