Outfit post; Beastie Boys

Happy New Year to all !

Here is an outfit post of one of my favourite pieces of clothing, my Beastie Boys t-shirt. Through all the trends and spring cleanings, this baby has managed to hold on to his place in my ever changing wardrobe. I have had it for about 5 years now !
I am also in love with this chunky, red, knit jacket, with leather details. This was a gift from my bosses in Perth. It was love at first sight and really has a Chanel-esque look, don't you think?

That's all for now ,
Love Dani,

It's a Man's World

Relationships can be tough on your individuality.When you become someones other half are you really aware of what you're giving up or even gaining?
 First there are the couples dinners, then come the couples Christmas cards ( killing two birds with one stone and saving a tree somewhere I imagine, is the end goal) and before you know it you are "WEing" all over the place.
But what happens when your boyfriend's style happens to worm it's way into your wardrobe.

One of the big trends this season has been the masculine shirt. Bloggers the world over have been tirelessly crafting theirs from plastics, doilies and left over toilet paper roles in an effort to achieve this masculine look. Layer it under heavy cable knits with only your recently studded collar, DIY of course, in view.
I, being the trendiest sheep I know, have also jumped on the bandwagon. However my disaster of a collar made from tin foil left me with only, a sheer, black shirt with leather collar detail to play with.
Since it is winter over here (that being Australia), I have chosen to layer it with a mannish, grandad red knit I recently purchased for the chilly season. Add some distressed boyfriend jeans and chunky ankle boots and my look was complete.
I can't help but read over the labels of this blog post; boyfriend, masculine, DIY, mannish, grandad?!
Have men's wardrobes completely invaded our style? or have we just taken the best parts and made them better?
Let me know your thoughts?
Thanks for reading,
Love Dani xx

Saturday Afternoon Tipple

When I am not working I usually enjoy my day off by sleeping in, browsing the shops and doing the washing. However now and again I like to plan a day off and actually do something rather than feel like I wasted the day. So last week I decided to go on a wine tour with my boyfriend. Yes, I do love a good glass of red when I get home after a long day of work, who doesn't, but it was great to learn a little more about the good stuff. Something I learned? Always hold the glass by the stem, otherwise the heat from your hands will heat up the wine and it won't taste as good. However I will admit I was feeling a little light headed after a couple sips, afterall we did start at 10am.
That day the sun was shining and I could definitely feel that summer is on the way. Yay !

It being the weekend I wanted to wear something comfortable but that doesn't mean it can't be stylish right?? So I decided to wear my SportsGirl electric blue knit, a birthday gift from Lorenzo with my hollister skinny jeans and new snake skin wedges. Trading leopard for snake I bagged these babies on my lunch break at Wittner. They were having one day of 80% off ! I couldn't resist.
What do you like to do on your day off?? I need more ideas :)
Ciao for now,
