four seasons

Today is my last day on the tropical island of Vanuatu, and all I can think about is winter.

Warm, cozy, chunky knits, long leggings, boots, scarves, gloves.

I can't wait to layer a plain white tee over some black woolen leggings, with little knitted socks under the knee-high black biker boots and to complete the look with an oversize grey knitted jumper. I can just feel the warmth and imagine myself walking through the city, takeaway cup of tea in hand, in a total state of winter bliss, safe underneath the layers.

Maybe the heat has turned me slightly insane, but right now I'd love to fast forward to July in Melbourne so we can all rug up. Winter fashion is always superior anyway..

I know! I'm mad right?!

I could post a million pictures of all the coveted winter essentials, but I'll restrain myself today and post only jumpers, coats, cardis etc, I want to string out this longing to be covered head to toe in cushy, stylish warmth..

This is my ULTIMATE winter purchase. Bodkin would have to be up there with my favourite winter designers. From foundersandfollowers.com, it's getting purchased a.s.a.p.! (AND it's recycled wool - sustainable and everything!)

Also by the Bodkin genius Eviana Hartman, this mind-blowing (and budget-blowing!) coat,

This exquisite creation is Giambattista Valli, from net-a-porter.com, and sets my heart a-fluttering

3.1 Phillip Lim, always a winner. Again, from net-a-porter.com.

 A mohair miracle from Opening Ceremony, at lagarconne.com.

 And lastly, this twist on a regular biker jacket - in wool by Rika, again at lagarconne.com

..I'm leaving on a jet plane..
