Saturday

The weather has really cooled down this week so its time to bring out the jackets! We've been steadily building our winter wardrobe over the past few weeks and it seems finally we can wear some of these pieces out. This week we picked up this jacket from Dotti. We were very pleased to find a jacket that fits this well as sometimes, particularly with this style of jacket, they can be very baggy and overwhelming especially if you're of narrow frame. We will be living in this jacket this season, its great for day or night and seems to look great with everything in our wardrobe. 

Courtney decided to wear our new Maurie and Eve Live tee. This top has that 1970's Bondi beach feel and is nice and casual, which is something we have been trying to find for quite some time as we have a shortage of tops in the wardrobe. 

This week were loving the silver tiki man bracelet. Its wild and something we wouldn't usually wear, however it really adds to the outfit and we always get a lot of complements about it. 

Friday The Thirteenth

These were the outfits we wore to dinner on friday night. There was a lot of Maurie and Eve worn by us and the girls at dinner it was fantastic, they really are special pieces. 
Courtney wears: Maurie and Eve Liya Shorts and Death Valley Body suit
Miranda wears: Maurie and Eve Death Valley Drape dress, Black leather Jacket from Dotti

Last Night

It was our 22nd birthday this week and it really was a week long celebration! We opened presents on tuesday (courtney couldn't wait), had our birthday lunch with friends on Wednesday (our actual birthday) and drinks on friday night.  We received so many birthday messages from our friends and feel extremely lucky to have such amazing people in our lives. We had a lovely night on friday, thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate! 

The latest range from Maurie and Eve is in stores and it's AMAZING. We had to  make some hard decisions but we decided on the Vanilla Live tee and the black Liya Shorts. These pieces are quite different for us as we don't usually buy a lot of lace, however I can see us wearing these pieces throughout winter and into spring/summer as-well.

Courtney wore our new boots again today, they are so comfortable and seem to go with everything in our wardrobe, these are going to be well worn this winter. We're trying to step away from the grunge lace-up boot, which has been on the scene for quite some time and go for a more polished aesthetic. 
Miranda wore our favourite belt today. It's another one of those pieces which go with everything. It's over 30 years old and a vintage piece given to us by our mother. To this day we have never found another belt to replace it, so we will probably be working it for another 30 years!


Courtney: Sportscraft singlet, Cheap Monday jeans, Novo boots, Pink stitch denim shirt
Miranda: Alexander Wang singlet, Maurie and Eve skirt, RMK lace up flats, vintage belt, Bracelets from Jaxx

JUDAS

We're in love with JUDAS.
Lady Gaga is the modern day Mary Magdalene in this controversial yet stunning video clip for he second single off her new album. Love it! Every time we watch it we love it even more

style crush

Our new style crush is Austrian stylist Caroline Sieber. 
The grunge phase is getting a little tiring, and Caroline's style is a breath of fresh air. We love how put together and polished her outfits are. Her style is timeless and elegant and the rising hemlines on her skirts and dresses keeps it young and fun- its conservative cool!

Friday Night

It was our friend's birthday on Friday night so we went out and had a few drinks at some local spots in Townsville. It was an awesome evening, met some great people and shared many bottles of champagne!  Now the count-down to our birthday! 
We have been waiting to wear this jumper it just hasn't been cold enough at night until now. We love the relaxed slouchy look it has, perfect for so many occasions and totally our style. We. need. more!


Happy Birthday Nat!

OUTFITS

Groovin' the Moo

This year we tried to steer away from denim shorts and singlets as we felt this was a look that has been over-worn this season. This time our outfits were a little more street rather than  typical festival wear.

Our best friends created some amazing head pieces for the day, they looked amazing! Meow!

Miranda: Andy Warhol T-shirt, Mink Pink bike pants, Converse High-tops, Felt hat from Holus Bolus

Courtney: Alexander Wang muscle singlet, Evil Twin high waisted shorts, Boots from Novo, Bangles from Jaxx

Seeing Red

We have fallen in love with this amazing red suit that Ashley Olsen was photographed wearing yesterday in New York. The rolled up trousers and sandals give this outfit a casual feel and the combination with the navy and white striped top is perfection! 

CARVEN Crush

New crush! If you know us- this is completely our style!
Carven is a french label developed in the 1940's for women who are "free and unshackled by convention" (they had us at unshackled). 
Their designs are parisian-chic and we particularly love the shapes they have created and the perfect fit that each piece has. Perfection. 
Get the look by buying similar styled tailored jackets, shorts and skirts which we saw in stores over the weekend here in Townsville.


Carven is available to buy on Net-a-Porter.

Matchy-Matchy

Matching separates are back! Haunting memories of your mothers 90's  wardrobe aside, these ensembles are very minimal and chic- If your daring enough to pull it off! 
Finally this style is beginning to appear in stores after many of the spring/summer collections showcased this look earlier in the year. This little floral ensemble appeared on Topshop this week and gave us the itch to go and look for some matching prints! 


Maxmara S/S 11', Michael Kors S/S 11', Blouse and Shorts available from www.topshop.com

We took these photos this morning before starting work on a very busy easter saturday. Courtney picked up this pink silk Guess blouse from our friend Carly who was about to drop it off to the second hand store. It was love at first sight! This fun print has a really retro feel and is totally different from anything else in our wardrobe- a real statement piece.

Miranda picked up the black boots from Stocklands the other day on sale, they are a great addition to our wardrobe as we are always on the hunt for boots which can be worn during the day as well as the evening. Very easy on the feet and for $40 they were very easy on the bank account too!

Courtney: Guess silk blouse, Maurie and Eve wrap skirt and betts wedges. Miranda: Wrangler singlet, cheap monday jeans, Boots from Dotti.
