You would think all you needed was an ankle, a heel and over the knee pair, that's until this season hit.

So I present to you my top picks this week on boots.

Monday Mixes

As I am writing this post I am wrapped in a second doona I have been nurturing for the last month because the heater on 27 degrees isn't proliferating enough. Oh and this is only the beginning of winter, why am I not booking a ticket overseas sooner?!



Who doesn't like to keep every body roll intact?! bodysuits are great for this reason, just wear high waisted bottoms and you'll be asking muffin top, where?
 If you can afford the 'We are Handsome' range then go for it, however for those budget savvy fashion conscious ones (me, me, me, me) Prettylittlething.com have delivered similar, for the price of a bento box. Keep in mind, this is still cheeky, showing some back, its so prrrrrretty.

PrettyLittleThing - Tiger Face Bodysuit $28.00 (less 30% at the moment)

I love how Finders Keepers have incorporated colour into their winter range. I love a label that doesn't steer away from vibrancy considering the current season in Australia. This skirt would be perfect for any occasion because you can dress it down with tights and a blouse or add killer heels and a tight top for a classier occasion.




'Asymmetrical' has been a common pattern in my posts. I don't think I have ever seen the same style around this season therefore each garment excites me. With this skirt, it's the trimming outlined in gold that strikes me.

Esther Boutique - Dipped In Gold Skirt $59


Flowers remind me that spring is around the corner (okay like 2 months away wahhh) so why not get in early and wear an embroidered floral top now?!
Maple Ave - Cassandra Embroidered Tunic $59




While we are on the topic of embroidery, this one is more appropriate for the refined shoppers who still like a stunning design.
Tradesy - Boutique Cassandra Embroidered Tunic $78
 Why not add something sexy to your outfit this weekend? This embellishment top reminds me of the Premonition style they brought out last season.

 I love a shift dress over tights with ankle boots. Although this is short sleeves, add a leather jacket or a fur jacket and it's weather with colour.
Asos - A Wear Mirror Print T-shirt $78

 Made from an easy-care crepe fabric, this skirt optimises trend to a tee, wraparound design and asymmetric enclosed with a zip. Tick, tick.
Asos - Wrap Skirt in Crepe With Zip $63


 This classic yet gorgeous long jumpsuit displays capped sleeves. You know how I feel about very low V-cut front ( I can just picture my mum sighing as she reads this). Do it while you can I say.


Stelly - Plum Daiquiri jumpsuit $49.95 
Leatherette pants are always hard to find the perfect fit . I have found a fitted pair with a smooth, leather-look finish accented with fine top stitching down the centre of the legs. Definitely a winter must.
Living Doll - Dark Knight Pants $69.95

Monday Mixes

Just when I thought I've got my life sorted and when I say life I mean finance. I have utilised the ugliest word in the English dictionary "budget" and enforced this in my life. However, being very involved in the financial sector (Don't laugh) this month is not only tax time but more notably it's the end of season sale EVERYWHERE.  Why is God punishing me?! Sometimes I wish I didn't dream about my next Chanel purchase.


Why not wear shorts this winter? Tee them up with sheer stockings for a sexy mood or ooze in tights and killer ankle boots. I love the simplistic pattern of the shorts with the vertical zips on both sides deterring attraction to the bad parts.

The Birdcage Boutique - Finders Keepers Sunday Morning Shorts $109.95



Need something to throw on top of your leather pants or jeans? This Stunning olive green knitted jumper is loose fitting but has fitted cuffs. The style embraces batwing sleeves, so flap away!



Stelly - Choc Crunch Peanut Butter Jumper $39.95

Winter is when you can explore the basics. I love a comfortable loose fitted dress together with tights and boots to hide the winter belly. Nothing is more satisfying when the material is smooth. Soft jersey will do this to you, so grab marshmallows and sit by the fire with this dress.





When I saw this vest like cape, I immediately fell in love. I understood the direction Sarah-Jane and Heidi were portraying with this collection. It's simplistic yet a touch of rawness. The drape movement of the vest is magical and reminds me of a beach location in Santorini. With a simple dress, this vest adds a luring story.



A cropped jumper is only acceptable with high waisted bottoms. This is a relaxed feel and practical for winter.

 Forever New - Lauren Cable Jumper $59.95
  

I love anything with volume especially if my hair had some. So when my hands met this viscose cape, I knew there was no looking back now. The fitted sleeves collaborated softly with the cape back making it a loose fit around the body. Unfortunately on the website they don't have the Cobalt Blue that I purchased because this colour doesn't do it justice.

Carla Zampatti - Pearl Ponte "Via Condotti" Cape Top $200


 Monochrome has never been so clever. This print on jeans are uber cool and can funk up any basic choice.

Market HQ - No Rules Jeans $59
Yes another Floral write up. These vibrant colours brighten up a dull season. Don't be shy to own it out there with a cute blazer and ankle boots.

Asos - Oasis Oriental Floral Print Pants $79
A little asymmetric doesn't hurt anyone actually it benefits you. It adds shape to your body as the angle define sharpness hiding the Big Mac leftovers.Panelling with faux leather just adds more radiance for your day.

Asos - Wrap Mini Skirt with Zips $49

 This peplum jacket gave me the same sensation as green tea frozen yoghurt. The contrast panels and crisscross back detail in neon preen is enough to convince me that neon in winter is acceptable. Three tone blazer with peplum detail and amazing pleat detail at back is like having fairy floss with popping candy dipped in chocolate.

The Fashion Bunker - Cameo Geraldine Blazer $229

Get down down Saturday night

Having a big night out gets harder the older I get, the recovery process is worse than a sick day. However any excuse to get dolled up, I'll take.

As soon as I caught eye with this dress or as my brother describes it as one of the Mortal Combat character, I new it had to belong to me.

I wanted to give this dress some light so I added red ankle boots and red accessories to not over do it. I did finish it off with a red Chanel lippie.

Monday Mixes

It's officially Winter (and sigh!) This is the time of the year where electricity bills sky rocket, more nights in are common and sicknesses spread. Please excuse me while I crawl back to bed and cry.



After preying on these pants to only being informed from this tall slim woman they were from Hong Kong, I gave up all sense of hope and serenity until now. Oh yes, I do believe it's fate or my obsession for fashion that led me searching every website I have in my address book to these. Although this woman possessed Miranda Kerr legs, I believe women like me who carry a bit of bum and some friendly hips can make these look Ah-Mazing! The peplum on the hips will actually hide the unwanted bits and accentuate your smaller bits. If you are comfortable showing what mama gave you then do not think twice! Definitely tee with either a sweetheart boobtube, bodysuit, anything tight that you can tuck in to give this style the best outcome :)

Unfortunately I couldn't find the ocean blue pants the women was wearing however this is a start.

Nasty Gal - Peplum Skinny Pant $56

Nasty Gal - Peplum Skinny Pant $56





Makemechic - Peplum Skinny Pant $27





I think the most sexy part of this dress is the arm detailing. this is perfect for a night out this Winter. Plus it has subtle splits to complete this edgy style.

Nasty Gal - Shadow Cut Dress $56



These vibrant animal print pants are perfect this Winter. Pair them with boots, a blazer or leather jacket and you're a Melburnian.


Market HQ - Ava Jeggings $119


The back of this top, need I say more? This is perfect for a drink out on the town teamed with skinny pants and heels. It's simple yet sexy at the same time. Even the mustard colouring is striking. If I could, I'd buy the whole collection of Aqua, I feel like they read my mind, in every design there is a sexy element that draws femininity yet still staying classy.



Asos - Aqua Daisy Woven t-shirt with open back $70

Nobody really wants to be eating pumpkin soup daily this winter when you just want to eat an ice-cream at 10pm. Why not add colour this winter with this knit. Nobody said winter means dress like you're mourning.


Asos - Exclusive crochet crop Jumper $50


Nothing better than a dress with tights and boots this Winter (Yes I'm trying to convince myself to embrace this weather). I love the rouged bottom of the dress. Belt it or leave it for a more relaxed look.

Jessica Buurman -  RAFAEL Bat Sleeves Fold Dress $89

 This jacket is similar to some of Sass & Bide's style sheer tops. It's the cross over open back which adds edginess to such a simple design. This is great with jeans or even a dressier dress.


Jessica Burrman - ELITE Back Opening Tops $89



Add print into your wardrobe, if I haven't said it before. The price point is bonkers, I cannot fault this item. It's funky and can be worn with ankle boots or dressier with strappy shoes.

 
Runway Scout - Three of Something  Ikat Leopard Pants $100


 Nothing is more sexy than a sheer top and a bra, yes make sure you wear a bra. There is no Kate Moss business here. However if you still aren't convinced then wear a cami underneath. Why not try a patterned design on the top. This applique floral design is made from poly fabric.

 Asos - Premium Top with Allover Applique $100



This is the dress that's missing in my closet at the moment. Although it's winter as you can tell colour is important and won't stop me. If you are afraid to walk on the brighter side then opt for the darker tones. This displays a ponte style which is figure hugging for your great asset and fully lined U wire cut out bust. Tee this with mint colour shoes and jewellery and a must have tan!!! (fake tan unfortunately)

Nookie - Stadium II Bustier Dress $219
