Sweater weather is BETTER weather!

So, this is a little style update about how I'm thinking I'd like to dress for winter and what kind of colours and styles and """moods""" I'm feeling right now/for winter. My style/look at the moment seems to be leaning towards that model off duty look but with a twist of classy hippie? luxe hippie? I don't even know how to word it. In the collage I whipped up below there are images that are not mine so all copyright to those people. Below I will now try to explain in point form what I'll be wearing this winter. Well, what I could if I was loaded.

(Winter moodboard collage - Katrina Sylaprany)

1. ALL SHADES OF BLUE - Anything from powder blue to darker hues like navy blue. Lighter egg shell blue knit sweaters mixed layered with a navy overcoat.

2. JEWEL TONES - Rich, deep hues, ones coloured like jewels such as deep magenta and plum or emerald greens or teal.

3. MONOCHROMATIC - If you cannot already tell I'm quite loving the idea of dressing in monochromatic outfits but more exploring the shades of red colours rather than greys.

4. QUILTED BOMBERS - I found this reversible one at Sportsgirl which has jewel tones on the outside and then black on the inside and it's quilted. In other words it is perfect and I will make it mine very soon. I think these are great because since they are quilted they still provide warmth and they're kind of sports luxe too.

5. STRIPES 

6. MUTED PAISLEYS - Pockets of happiness on those cold winter days. Wear with black to still stick to the winter mood.

7. Music inspiration for getting ready for cool winter vibes - FLUME, HAIM, FOALS + M83

That'll be my winter inspiration, feel free to take inspiration from mine or get inspired for your own. It's fun, trust me, especially when there are textiles and art majors to avoid.

I hate cheetah print. That is all. Have a good day.

"90's"

The long awaited Winter season is fast approaching now, and it's basically a complete division on whether you love it or loathe it (you see, no matter if you hate the heat, no one can help being happy in Summer). However,being a Winter person myself, I've been looking forward to the arrival of cold nights, mugs of tea and pulling out random patterned, bright coloured woolly socks that are only acceptable in the confines of your own home.
And this Winter, my love is oversized denim. they're actually the perfect item to layer over a knitted jumper or button up shirt. And give me a quirky print or unique tab and I'm there. I'm talking complete 90's 'Fresh Prince of Bell Air' style.
- Shrunken teeny-bopper denim need not apply -
And you can never go wrong with denim,stockings and a pair of docs.

JAGWAR MA

 (Photos of the band above are not mine, all rights reserved to the photographer)

I've got attached to this duo Jagwar Ma lately, especially when I've been studying for my exams over the past few days. But their music kind of makes me want to run away to the sea and leave everything and drop out and become a full time escapist so I don't understand how this is benefiting my studying for exams/education. I tried to do a little basic review below, read and then listen and enjoy if you like the sound.

Jagwar Ma - - A Sydney duo based in Paris, Jono Ma and Gabriel Winterfield (what wonderful names they have) create music that is a fusion of dream pop/happy dancing/psychedelia/noise filled indie pop rock and to me they sound like Tame Impala with less people because there is literally only 2 people compared to Tame Impala's extended family (no hate, I love you guys truly) and therefore less noise and more lovely sounding music that makes you dream of a better day and sends chill out/Brooklyn vibes.

Try "The Throw" and "Come Save Me":
