Bits & Pieces // New In


Commonly know as 'The Gorilla' amongst our BR staff, this amazingly fun piece is now part of my wardrobe! It's definitely a statement piece (seriously, wait until you see it on!) but I couldn't resist when I saw it on sale. My only qualm is the sleeve length is rather short & it falls just above the hip, which can make the body look rather wide. I'm honestly all smiles over it though & am so excited to wear it out & about. I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to style it yet - I would love any suggestions you may have! :)



A new replenishment pot of my favourite shampoo, "Big" by Lush Handmade Cosmetics & some sample conditioner ("Veganese") to test out! That's definitely one of my favourite things about shopping at Lush; they are so wonderful with samples & suggestions :) Have any of you tried these products?


A rather random shot of my upper closet, admittedly not in it's finest state. I do love how vibrant & colourful all my clothes look though! Do you see any familiar pieces? ;) This shot was taken with our oldie Nikon D100, which just got taken out & dusted off yesterday. I had quite the time trying to remember all it's functions & how to actually use them. Although I really adore it, I certainly know enough to be thankful for advancing technology! 



And finally, the fog rolling in just as I arrived home from work this evening. You can usually see the water & the mountains from our balcony, but this rare heavy fog was nice for a change :)

So a bit of a random post, but I just had to show you my new faux fur beauty. Hoping to get in a little photoshoot tomorrow before work, so check back soon!

  4. Oooh, love this mix of photos <3
    And I'm glad you snatched that Gorilla up!! Haha, it's gorgeous! Hmmm, I'm trying to think of what you could wear with it...I'm suggesting a sleek skirt, like those body-con cut types ;) This would be so fun to wear out! I guess for a more casual look you should stick with straight cut jeans though. Either way, I'm sure you'll come up with something fabulous.
    And I've never been to lush! :/ We don't have one around here. Ugh. But I've heard of them. Next time I travel, I'll definitely look them up.

  15. Can't wait to see how you make that coat WERK. Also, yesterday, I was at a mall where there was LUSH store and I wanted to go in, but my friend was put-off by how crowded it was and said "we'd go in there later" but we NEVER did and it was truly upsetting! Some other day, Lush, some other day!

  26. it's fabulous! You have to wear it more, I think. Is it sort of car coat length? Because then I think it might be good to keep a slim silhouette on the bottom as it sort balances it out, you know? But it'd be super fun to mix and match it with all different bits and pieces xx tess

  29. I would love to wear this coat with black skinny jeans,chunky heeled boots, a casual top,leather gloves and a leather tote bag so it's kind of glam but wintery and casual! Love your blog and your style :) x
