This is my second post featuring the beautiful items from Spicy Avenue! See my first post here. This time I'm wearing their gorgeous purple and red floral printed blouse. I love how it looks like flowers are blossoming down the arms and flowing onto the torso. It's like flowers are growing across my body, which is amazing! :) The berry hues are just perfect for the cold months coming up- I can't wait to mix and match it with a bunch of layers!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I'm nearing the end of a verrry long weekend (took quite a few days off work) and it feels so great to just relax at my parents' house and spend more time with family! :)

Shades of Autumn, with Spicy Avenue

Odd pose to show off the inner layer of the jacket! It's like a map of the city, how cute is that? :)

Who's excited for winter? I'm not a fan of freezing temperatures and buckets of rain, but I am looking forward to layering and embracing a whole new colour palette! I'm sure you guys know I am a huge lover of pastel shades, but this season it's going to be all about rich jewel colours balanced with muted neutrals. Two beautiful colours I like to mix together when the cold season comes around are mustard yellow and burgundy.

I have been wearing this gorgeous mustard yellow blazer from Spicy Avenue all the time at work and even on the weekends- it's just so practical and versatile for any occasion! The bright colour stands out so much amongst the crowd of black and navy coats I see everyday in the morning, and I've been getting compliments on it everywhere I go. For winter I definitely recommend investing in a brightly coloured jacket because it makes your winter wardrobe so much more exciting! :)

I also paired the blazer with this super cute high-waisted heart-patterned skirt. It's so versatile for any season, and you can warm it up with long socks or stockings. Of course I chose burgundy socks and matching bag :)

This is the first part in my collaboration with Spicy Avenue. They are a new online boutique offering gorgeous Korean style clothing at affordable prices. I'd call their style feminine and classy, which is definitely what I like :) Most of their stock is perfect for chic and stylish looks also appropriate for the office! They offer free worldwide express shipping over $100 and are currently running are promotion for 20% off orders over $200!

Leather Accents

Knit: local boutique 

Leather skirt: local boutique

Shoes: MissGuided

I bought these two items recently from the same store! :) With the monochrome trend sweeping over the fashion world recently I've been really loving black and white, and all the shades of grey in between!

Stripping an outfit of colour provides the perfect opportunity to draw focus on interesting textures and stark contrasts. The knit already was a statement piece, with contrasting black and white yarn, and patches of leather at the shoulders and cuffs. The leather skirt itself also has a subtle intersecting design on the front! :)

I also wanted to finish off the minimalistic vibe with my new MissGuided thin strappy heels! The silver metallic heel adds an extra modern touch.

I'm so geared up to wear more monochromatic clothing with leather accents. They can be added in unconventional spots on a garment, to make even more of an impact! I found these leather collars from ASOS, leather sleeves from Boutique to You, and even studded leather cuffs from ASOS!
