USUAL SUSPECTS

It is imperative to find you're signature style, but more importantly, stick to it. This is something I've come to learn from my time studying fashion, but it applies to all aspects of life. As I approach my quarter-of-a-century birthday and the end of my studies, I'm finding that knowing myself and my aesthetic is so incredibly beneficial. 

For me, its the usual suspects; black leather, white shirts, stripey tanks, ankle boots, 

gold bling, worn-in denim and a dash of leopard. Thats what I feel best in and what works for me. It's so easy to be misguided, falling for fads and the latest trends. But at the end of the day, true style is knowing what suits you and makes you feel the most "you". 

CANADIAN TUXEDO

There's no denying I love denim. 

I wear it just about everyday. My jeans collection is outrageous.  Something about denim just strikes a cord with me. It's casual, laidback and effortless, comfortable and functional with an air of nonchalance all rolled into one. When I don't know what to wear, I throw on some denim and I'm set. 

And in the vein of my last post, it looks even better when you layer up. 

Hope everyone had a rad weekend. HD x

LAYER UP

Hallelujah for Autumn. I love this time of year. It comes at the perfect moment, giving us a reprieve from the sweltering Sydney heat. The days are still sunny but the crispness in the air means layering is essential. i.e. more clothes per outfit. And this makes me a very happy chappy. 

Since my trip to HK, I have cleared out my entire wardrobe. I'm starting fresh, so to speak. My aim for this season/year/rest of my life is to collect great staple pieces, and eventually build myself a wardrobe of classics. I'll be sticking to a colour palette of black, navy, beige, ox blood and white and greys. And I'll only be buying pieces that I know I'll still want to wear in a few seasons time. 

On that note, here's some current autumn inspo.. 

Pretty Mother F*cker

This is a PMF post.... Coz it's all about A$VP at the moment. 

I don't know how I am supposed to wait until June 29th for the concert. 

I'm obsessed with the 3.1 Phillip Lim leather sweatshirt. "SonoMama" means "As you are" or "As it is". 

And I'm also coming up with ideas for my next ink-ling. I'm thinking David Bailey photograph-inspired skulls and roses on my upper thigh.... PMF indeedy.
