A Pastel Christmas

Zara cropped jumper (old)

Gucci bag 

J.Crew trousers (in store now)

Givenchy shoes (very much on sale HERE)

As I will be in Holland for Christmas it is highly unlikely I will be wearing baby blue silk trousers and leopard sandals for the occasion. But then again Christmas wouldn't be nearly as fun without a few weeks of romantic anticipation. I have the perfect song and video to go with this outfit: watch Robbie and Nicole HERE...

Working as a shop girl in Jordan Baker over Thanksgiving weekend

A pretty beach in Perth, Western Australia. This is as close as I'll get - you know how many big sharks are in that ocean? They've even made it into the nearby Swan river.

My brand new Parker Thatch tote becomes my fave bag on day one. From Jordan Baker, Shop 3 Napoleon Close, Cottesloe.

The Stylish Life

Jordan Baker in Cottesloe, Western Australia

With Thanksgiving done and dusted it's time for Christmas trees and nostalgic movie nights. Very high on my list every year is You've Got Mail, because in one of my nine dream lives I have a little shop just like The Shop Around The Corner from the film. This weekend in Perth, or more precisely in Cottesloe, I had a chance to act out my shop girl fantasy at Jordan Baker, a shop opened by two Aussie friends. Let me tell you, it's just as much fun as I imagined. If you are in Cottesloe, go and have a look - it's chock full of perfect Christmas gifts.

I picked up some fun bracelets from Kinsley Armelle

The worst thing about a significant birthday

The wrinkles

You will be wiser

Because frankly, who needs wisdom?  Wisdom only leads to reflection and nostalgia.  And too much thinking in times like these could drive a girl properly insane.

That said... there were two lovely nostalgic stories in the news this morning that I think you should all click on HERE and HERE.

And afterwards let's just go right back to the shallow pleasures of deciding what to wear today.
