From Runway to Driveway - for less but of course

This was a sheer coincidence. I had this photo of me taken 2 weeks ago (before NYFW had begun) to do a "What I wore to work for the week" post but I only got to Tuesday and then wasn't able to take photos of my outfits, so I gave up. Then when I was browsing through New York Fashion Week Runway Trends photos, I found DL1961's model wearing almost exactly what I had worn to work a few days before! Except I bet mine is a fraction of the cost of the DL1961 outfit. Talk about Fashion sans Fortune!

White Tee: *$10 (Dotti)

Superhero Leatherette Peplum Top: *$34.95 (Dotti)

Jeans: *$69 (Jeanswest)

Bracelet: *$5 (H&M)

Glitz Black Bling Flats: *$60 (Santini)

Bag & Sunnies: Usual

Comfy Work Outfit Total: $178.95

* = sale prices

Yep, I get to wear jeans to work. They're pretty cool like that.

Oh and another thing I wanted to share, which you could say is part of my outfit and I can't believe I haven't shown this before - my iPhone Cover! 

I absolutely loved it when I first saw it. Almost everyone I know has commented on it but I never thought I would actually have random strangers liking it and coming up to ask me where I got it from...

 It was an impulse buy (and a great one at that!) from the checkout counter of...you'll never guess...wait for it...Rubi Shoes! And it was a measly $5.

 I thought it would only last 2 days, but I've been using it for almost 4 months now. *Knocking on wood.

I've had a really productive week. Managed to tick most things off my never-ending-to-do list, both at home and at work. Don't you just love that feeling! Plus I've even posted more on the blog. I feel like the weather being warmer helps. You get more done because you don't want to snuggle up in bed or hide under blankets all the time. I only hope that this productive streak continues. 

Enjoy the rest of your week. Until next time - adios!xx

NYFW Fall 2013: Street Style

It's that time of year again! When all fashionable eyes peer over their Prada sunglasses onto New York to see what lies ahead for the future of fashion. As coveted as the designs on the Runway may be, the off-Runway Street Style has become just as much a part of the allure of NYFW. And while things were heating up at Fashion Week (I really didn't want to use this metaphor - but it was right there!) New York was hit by a snow-storm called Nemo (which, I personally think, is too cute a name for a storm!), challenging fashion's most powerful to succumb to the forces of nature (even Marc Jacobs had to postpone his show) and give us, what's quickly becoming the the talk of the blogosphere & twittosphere: "Nemo-Chic". Yes, these cold-blooded fashionistas have done the unthinkable - opted for comfort over whilst still being fashion(able)! I think, they've chosen well.

Melbournians, hope these photos help you stay cool over the next 7 consecutive days of over 30deg C. temperatures! I wish I was in New York right now....then again, I always wish I was I was in New York!
