Firstly, I need to aknowledge the fact that firstly it is nearly Feb already and secondly that I just saw the Chanel Spring Haute Couture and I am in love! Did someone say t-shirts and flats?? Well, Chanel style that floated heavenly down the runway as if sparkles of a high clarity diamond rolling on a bed of grey hues and tweed. Aha! a collection for today’s girl.
Who likes my River Island from ASOS (Because we here in Australia cannot access River Island without an airfair) shearling booties?? I love them! The heel is only small which means I will be stomping around in these puppies all winter day in day out!
I love putting outfits together each day, but the first step for me (apart from assessing the weather) is to work out what it is I am doing that day. Am I shopping? Do I have a meeting? Am I styling? Or am I having a day with mum? Usually if I have a meeting, going shopping or attending an event I will style myself with statement pieces and the essential layering pieces- be it jewellery,shoes or a vest. But for those days with mum, hanging about the home or visiting a friend I have my: Me- Jess Dempsey look which is essentially my 4 key pieces:
1: My Chanel stretch flats (yes I wear flats- in fact I live in them on an average day between the hours of 9-5.30 )
3: A blazer (statement colour or just a black one, Zara usually)
and 4: My silver essential jewellery pieces Fiorina and GAS Bijoux necklaces (which I wear at least 6 days a week)
It is not often you will see snaps of me on my blog wearing something so Jess and so casual because as you know I love playing with fashion- but I thought I would show you how important it is to have some key essentials in your wardrobe for those run-out-the-door looks xxx
Stay tuned for my giveaway!!! xxxxx

OMG! Welcome Melbourne sunshine!!! Finally we are seeing that big old yellow thing in the sky they call the sun! We have had the coldest November so far but, I do live in Melbourne and four seasons in one day is a common occurrence so I am not too sure why I am surprised that it is 28 deg one day and 17 deg the next…
Anyways, WOW! I had approx 6 new followers in the one day yesterday so a huge thank you to you! Thanks for showing your support I am so greatful!

Military aint’ goin’ anywhere, so as we approach Summer and my international friends enter Winter, play around with the trend that defines ‘statement’. Exhibit A above shows an example of creating a military look without blowing the budget. A salute to High Street brands, this look would have cost me approx $250!!! My Brown Sugar pants (which I love, love, love!), River Island jacket and its oh so statement shoulders, Cotton On top underneath, Top shop neck lace (That was also created at Sportsgirl a while ago) oh and my Samantha Wills skull Bangles and Forever 21 ring!
A you know I am experimenting with using make-up as a statement or should I say to complete the look, so I had Melissa Colosimo compliment this military look with subtle lips, smokey eyes and soft defined cheeks! This make-up look is my fav so far! xxxx
Hello to all my new followers! I appreciate your support xxxxx
