Zara T-Shirt&Skirt, Adidas Stan Smith.

When the peplum trend came in, I was never a big fan...  Especially on tops. There was something about it that I just did not find them flattering. But when peplum mini a-line skirts dropped at Zara, I tried it on just because I loved the navy/grey pinstripe. To my surprise, it was such a nice fit - doesn't make you look short and stubby which is what I was most afraid of. And I just recently invested in a black scuba knit one as well.. Super excited to bring that out. 

Also, check out hex store on instagram for the coolest new accessories. My glitter phone case is just one of many chic pieces they have.

Forever 21 crop and pants, Adidas Stan Smiths.

Love this look because 1. easy, 2. comfortable. Even though it is really simple, I got the inspiration while I was working and a customer came in wearing the most amazing chinos with a simple tee and Acne sneakers. I fell in love with her sport luxe and effortless look, I just had to re-create it. And that's one of the perks about working in the city, more exposure to Sydney fashion.

Zara Bomber, Cheap Monday Second Skins, Converse Chuck Taylors. 

When I saw it, I knew I just had to have it... This Zara Bomber is everything. I love that silk is in again. I just love silk. The slip on, effortless look that it brings to an outfit. Brings me back to the Grease lightning, Pink Ladies days but with a bit more Oomph!

Uniqlo Shirt, Missguided Shorts, Sportsgirl Belt, Bikenstocks Arizona, Itsboutique belt used as neck tie.

The new skinny tie/choker has got me going. I love the way it brings together the look, the way it brings a sort of elegance yet edge.

But for such a simple trend, these skinny ties can go around for much more than they should be... Luckily, I found an alternative - the belt that came with my jumpsuit from itsboutique! Improvising game - 100.

Its Boutique Jumpsuit, Zara Shoes, Sportsgirl Belt.

So happy to announce this collaboration with itsboutique - link. Here I'm featured in their "Wrap Playsuit - Black" and I was honestly so surprised in how great it fit me. This playsuit was faultless. Such a great piece that can easily be dressed up or down. But for today, I paired it with my Zara Brogues for a casual look. 

They have a number of cute pieces, which I'll slowly be getting my hands on... One by one... Just so my bank account won't be completely depressed. Use code "michelleeeking" for 10% off, you won't regret it.

Finders Keepers Dress, Glassons Hat, Senso Mules/Birkenstocks, Givenchy Antigona.

Did a little DAY > NIGHT change with simply swapping in my Birkenstocks that dramatically changes the classy look to a more casual look for my Senso Mules. I am completely obsessed with this look and wanted to wear it forever, in love with this collection from Finders Keeper and wanted to get it in the same shirt and playsuit. 

Also had a night out at Via Napoli @ Surry Hills and I am happy to announce that I've finally found my go to pizza joint that supplies authentic italian pizza. Customer service was spot on but more importantly, the dessert was superb. See you soon Via Napoli! And all you lovers too xx

Days off are so rare these days, hustling hard for the future self. But more importantly, the days are flying past obscenely fast.. I can barely keep up. I barely even know the days anymore. But after a month into this new job, I think I should start getting into the rhythm and juggling everything again... Hustling is hard and it's great but don't deprive yourself of other luxuries. 

Keep Balanced. Keep Sane. Stay Happy.
