This is sort of like the uptown version of my last post. Leather leggings, those graceful, d’orsay heels, a longline coat, grey cashmere. Delicate jewellery because I needed a quiet kind of confidence.

I’ve been looking for a grey cashmere jumper since forever, and I finally got this one from Joseph. It’s like being wrapped in a cloud.

Wearing: shoes and leather leggings by Zara, cashmere jumper by Joseph, Lover coat, Alexander Wang Rocco bag, blessing necklace from Ginger and Smart, pearl rings by Mindans.

It’s finally cold enough to start layering in earnest. It’s all about texture – leather against soft knits, sharp suiting against sequins.

Today I wandered into Sportsgirl and picked up this sequin jacket. I don’t think I’ll wear it as the outer layer – I just want it to mix in with grungy, worn pieces or wear it almost hidden except for a glimmer at the sleeves or lapels.

Wearing: Zara leather leggings, Acne Pistol boots, Anhika tee, Lover scarf and coat and Sportsgirl sequin jacket.

A call-out, once more with feeling, to vote for me in HP Australia’s Fashion Exposed competition. Because you believe my writing is worth something. Because you’ve got this page bookmarked. Because you know me in real life. Because you don’t know me, but you wish you did. Because we went to high school together. Because we’re friends. Because you’re bored. Because we tweet each other. Because we talk almost every day. Because you miss me. Because, because, because…

Wearing: Michael Lo Sordo top and my favourite Dion Lee skirt, which is, as far as I’m concerned, fucking perfection.

Luxury begins where necessity ends, and reader, there is nothing necessary about this sublime, perfect Celine bag. Which is to say it is absolutely necessary and how did I ever live without it?

Wearing: leather dress by Zimmermann, Country Road stole, Mindans pearl rings and Celine trio bag.

Not my aesthetic, but sharp enough to catch my eye – Zimmermann’s “Clique Clique” collection played up the contrast of the label’s signature femininity with this season’s luxe sportswear vibe.

There were pastels, yes, and the florals that were ubiquitious in nearly every collection, but there was a play of shape and texture that went beyond the trend by numbers. And how can you dislike a collection that closes to the tune of Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart whilst showcasing a maxi dress that looked suspiciously like it had been splattered with blood? 

And then there was the jewellery. A collaboration between Zimmermann and MANIAMANIA, it complemented the collection by being completely at odds with it. That Isis Aquarius five-ring hand-piece? Yes. I could.
