New Stores in Melbourne: COS

The wait is over! COS, which stands for Collection of Style, has opened in the Strand, Melbourne today at noon. I had to check it out and since I've been to COS stores in Berlin and London before, I was curious to see if the prices and the experience were the same- which, surprisingly, they were. The style of the clothing is comparable to ACNE, (the ACNE store is literally next door, too) but at a Zara price point.

The minimalistic layout and the simplicity of the clothing, the lack of obvious branding, and how well clothing lasts from experience makes it worth a visit/shop. I've taken friends to the London store for 'personal shopping' and they loved it- I am sure you, will, too. 

New stores in Melbourne: ACNE studios

At the Strand, a shopping complex attached to the Emporium and accessible from Elizabeth street and Little Bourke Street is soon opening one of my favorite boutiques, Acne studios. Their previous store was located at the iconic Melbourne GPO, which has now been turned into an H&M. You can tell that the Swedes are taking over Melbourne's fashion scene- and I love it.
My favorite looks of their Fall '14 collection:

Outfit of the day I.

On my days off I usually end up doing.. nothing. Today I stocked up on some cosmetics, bought roses, and made my bf take an #ootd shot. I've been living in my Birkenstocks recently- they are the most comfortable sandals I have ever worn.

 Also, my cat Goji pictured with a Chanel ribbon- unfortunately he didn't like wearing it as much as I hoped he would. 

Boyfriend Jeans x Girlfriend Top

I really like mixing rough, boy-ish clothing with very girlsý, intimate pieces. Like a lace bralet and boy's gym shorts, or, like in this picture taken by Stephanie Thy at a recent test shoot, EvilTwin cut-out jeans and a Peter Alexander silk camisole that is part of a pyjama set.
