Blazer Fever...

The one thing I love more than Kim Kardashian's style, is a perfectly tailored statement blazer. So when you combine the two, you've pretty much got my style inspiration rolled into one.

The fact is, the majority of my wardrobe consists of either black, white, gray or neutral tones, so it's no surprise that my go-to pieces are bold blazers with a statement necklace. Ever since seeing Kim fashion this A.L.C. Zoe mint green blazer (because don't we all look this good while putting petrol in our cars?), I've been on the hunt for a cheaper alternative to add to my collection.


Although I'll be travelling during the Australian winter and will therefore have back to back summers, I'm still determined to scope out some inexpensive yet fabulously bright blazers to add to my collection.

I'm thinking this orange jacket from the Kardashian Kollection could be a good place to start, even though I'll have to hang out until May for it's release. Well, there's either that, or I could visit their store in Las Vegas and peruse the collection first hand.

Moroccan Inspiration...

Today marks the 1 month countdown until my next big overseas adventure begins and as you can imagine, I'm just a little bit excited!

I'm going with two A-Class travel buddies, known to me as Alina and Nadia and the first three stops on our trip are Dubai, followed by Egypt and then Morocco. Having just come out of an Australian Summer, I feel as though I'm as well prepared for the harsh heat of North Africa and Southern Europe as I can be, but my wardrobe tells a very different story.

In Australia, when the weather gets hot, people tend to simply wear less clothing to compensate, but that couldn't be further from the reality in the countries we're visiting.

So, by taking a little inspiration from the second Sex and the City film (and yes, I concur, it was horrible), I've put together an inspiration board to get my girlfriends and I in the mood for Sahara chic dressing...and shopping. I'm thinking bright, bold colours, white cotton pants, big beautiful gold jewelry and of course, kaftans! I might however, leave my sequined turban at home (sorry Carrie, but that's a little too much!).


Egypt in particular, has been a country I've always dreamt of visiting and if my obsession with the pyramids and my childhood ambition to become a Egyptologist (it lasted until I realised they spend their days digging in dirt and sand) are anything to go by, I'm sure it's going to be an experience of a lifetime, no matter what I wear!

Lust Haves...

There are so many things I love about putting together these 'wish list' collage boards. It's partly the feeling of shopping withouth actually spending any money. Another part is putting together a fantasy wardrobe, and for me, I love the challenge of seeing these beautiful (and pricy) items and trying to find cheaper alternatives in my local mall or high street.
 
So stay tuned for my take on some of these items, as I begin my hunt to add a few to my wardrobe...
