A Little bit of Lace.

Olivia's wearing: Sass and Bide tank, Zara shorts and necklace, Louis Vuitton bracelet, Michael Kors watch, 

Proenza Schouler PS11 mini bag, Isabel Marant sneakers. 

If it was acceptable to wear the same outfit everyday, this would probably be the one that I'd choose. Pairing this singlet and shorts together is like wearing pyjamas, you don't have to think before you put them on and they're so comfortable that you never want to take them off. I find myself wearing variations of the same outfit quite a lot lately, but it's hard not to when some items of clothing are just so much more comfortable and versatile than others. These silk and lace shorts have proven to be one of my best purchases yet, I love them so much that I'm considering buying the 'Lover knot shorts' that inspired this pair from Zara. 

Mesh.

Kate's wearing: Cos t-shirt, Zara quilted leather skirt and tweed jacket, Proenza Schouler PS11 mini, Hermes bracelet, 

Michael Kors watch, Chanel mesh espadrilles, MAC lipstick.

For the past fews months I've been playing Cinderella by pretending that my beloved Chanel espadrilles actually fit my feet, yet the truth is they are so tight that they'd make my toes numb. I loved the look of these mesh ones when I saw them on one of my favourite bloggers, Sincerely Jules. They are the ultimate combination of sporty and chic, so I didn't really have a problem upgrading to these from my canvas pair. 

What could be better than a skirt that is leather and quilted? It's rare that we buy two of the same thing, but when we come across something that we really like sometimes sharing isn't an option. 

Maroon.

Olivia's wearing: Bec and Bridge 'Catalina' striped tee, Ksubi Alberceque denim shorts, Proenza Schouler PS11 mini, Michael Kors watch, Senso 'Bertina' boots.

We're completely hooked on stripes at the moment, we're constantly hunting for different versions of the trend to build our collection. Our latest find is the Bec and Bridge 'Catalina' striped basics - they're the perfect understated pieces to have on rotation. This maroon tee was a no-brainer, we love this colour for the cooler months and nothing beats a simple t-shirt with a boxy cut. 

As we mentioned in our last post, we both searched for the perfect denim cut-offs throughout summer and whilst Kate found hers from J Brand, I opted for this pair from Ksubi. I had seen them on two of my favourite bloggers, Rumi Neely and Jessica Stein, and loved the distressed look of them and the classic wash of the denim. 

On a side note, we finally got a new SLR on the weekend, hallelujah! We can't wait to try it out for our next post x

Saddle.

Kate's wearing: Sportsgirl top, Dotti vest, J Brand denim shorts, Proenza Schouler PS11 mini, Chanel Espadrilles, Michael Kors watch, Hermes bracelet, Celine sunglasses. 

When it comes to taking our blog photos, finding the right location always proves to be the hardest part. The Gold Coast is a city that lacks quality architecture and culture, which means there are no 'hidden treasures' - you never simply stumble upon the perfect spot to shoot. We think that we got quite lucky with this location - the earthy tones match the saddle colour of the PS11 perfectly and it almost looks like I'm wandering down an alleyway in Tuscany. 

We enjoy reinventing certain items of clothing that we used to always wear, like this lace Sportsgirl top. Pairing it with the leather vest takes away the 'girly' vibe and toughens it up, which appeals to our taste a lot more. 

These J Brand shorts would have to be one of the best Christmas presents I've ever received. Every girl needs a pair of simple denim shorts in her wardrobe, which we were both hunting for throughout summer. Considering J Brand is my favourite brand, Liv did well getting me this pair. 

Minimal.

Olivia's wearing: Zimmermann striped t-shirt, White Suede leather running shorts, Proenza Schouler PS11 mini, Tiffany and Co necklace, Karen Walker rings, Michael Kors watch, Jeffrey Campbell 'Everly' boots.

This outfit is the perfect combination of basic investment pieces that I've accumulated recently, as there were so many must-haves that my wardrobe was missing. I had been searching high and low for the perfect striped t-shirt and ended the search when I found this one from Zimmermann. I love it's boxy, boyfriend fit and the fabric is super soft and lightweight. Authentic leather shorts have been on my wish list for what feels like a century, they're perfect for the Gold Coast climate and they can be worn with anything. These White Suede leather running shorts are made from the most amazing leather that feels like butter and they're a great fit as they're not too tailored. When you pair these two with my favourite boots and the best bag ever invented, you have my ideal outfit. 

PS11.

Proenza Schouler PS11 Mini

We don't think we really need to go into much detail as to how these beauties came into our possession, it's pretty self-explanatory. We'd had our eye on them for months and discussed whether or not they'd be a worthy investment - as we do with all expensive purchases. Of course we came to the conclusion that you can't go wrong with this bag. Although most people opt for the larger size, we decided to both get the mini as we prefer smaller bags and felt that this size would definitely fit all of our daily essentials. If you're currently on the fence and can't decide whether to take the plunge or not, the answer is yes, yes you should. 

Heliconia.

Kate's wearing: American Vintage singlet, Maurie and Eve 'Heliconia' mesh peplum skirt, Sportsgirl heels, Michael Kors watch,

 Hermes bracelet, Mania Mania skull ring.

We love supporting Australian labels, especially when it feels like our wardrobes consist of so many pieces from foreign designers. Maurie and Eve is one of our favourite Australian brands, but for some reason we didn't own anything from their collections, until now. We love the structure of the skirt with the mesh peplum, as it's a fresh take on the overdone trend and the bold print is one of the best we've seen from their summer collection. Considering it was 70 percent off, you'd be silly to say no.
