Since I am a young professional trying to break into the working world, I wanted to put on an outfit that resembled a working out but with a sexy twist. Now saying that, please don't wear this outfit the next time you go into work. I am not sure what your boss would say about coming to work shirtless, but I can only imagine not very good things. BUT, lets say you had a long day of work on a Friday and your in a pencil skirt, or slacks and a blazer. You normally don't want to go out with girlfriends in some boring work outfit. No fear! Just stick a pair of sassy leather shorts in your bag. Another option that requires less luggage is wearing a leather pencil skirt, but that's only if you can get away with wearing this to work (props if you can). After work put on your leather shorts and take off your blouse to reveal some skin under that blazer. Pair with some amazing strappy sandals or a pair of pointed booties, like the shoes I have on. You are now prepared for a night out on the town and looking HOT might I add. 

ALSO! two of the four items I added are on sale!

This Fur jacket is absoultely EVERYTHING! I decided to belt the jacket to give it a bit more shape on my body. I paired it with a chambray shirt, faux-leather pants and a kick ass pair of peep-toe booties. This look is perfect for a night out or just a cold day when you want to grab any and everyone's attention. 

This beauty is one piece in the new upcoming line by Nancy King. Nancy King is a Brisbane based clothing line designed by the amazing and lovely, Sharni Lindsay. Miss Lindsay's previous collections have had colorful prints displayed across different kaftans as well as beautifully made shoes. In this upcoming line she still keeps her main aesthetics by creating beautiful new styles of kaftans with vibrant new prints, but she has also added flowing dresses in THE colors of the season among many other pieces that are sure to drive any girl crazy. And not to mention this beautiful fur jacket along with one other, The Isabella fur jacket (recently seen on Australian Fashion Blogger) are thrown into the mix. 

I personally cant wait to get my hands on the new line by Nancy King, you can keep your eyes out for it and check out previous lines at:

This outfit is really relaxed and perfect for a Sunday brunch or a casual day out with your boyfriend and/or girlfriends! I loved the scenery of this street. It had the most amazing Queenslanders (the style of houses in Brisbane) and the minute Adam and I drove by it, I knew that it would be a perfect setting for this outfit. 

This amazing top by Three of Something has the most beautiful hem on the bottom of the shirt. I love a good ruffle and this top has it! Its flirty and girly. I just wanted to spin around in circles and swish it back and forth the whole time I was wearing it. You can buy this top at the wonderful, The French Peg in Paddington, Brisbane 

or visit their site here: The French Peg 

I have been hard out at school recently so I am sorry for the lack of posts but this week I am getting myself together and there will be much more outfits to see I promise! 

I am wearing a exciting designer in a post in the VERY near future! Keep your eyes out for it people! Its will be AMAZING.

Joie Top (similar here) // Finders Keepers Gone Tomorrow Shorts // Windsor Smith Gillie Heels 

Since summertime is coming to an end in Australia, I thought I might as well get in some summery outfits while I still can. These shorts and this shirt are both from The French Peg in Paddington, Brisbane. The color of this Joie top is such a beautiful blue and when I paired it with the white/grey of these highwaisted shorts, it looked amazing! The Gillie heels by Windsor Smith are some of my favorites. I usually throw these on and they just add so much more to any outfit. They look great and are so affordable! 

This week I started my masters program and I was so excited to start... until I already got homework. This semester is going to be so hard already. Wish me luck! 

Also, Make sure if you are in Australia to visit the amazing girls at The French Peg. They are so great and they have the best selection of American and Aussie designers. I could wear everything in their store.

Mother Denim + Acne + Tweed

If you haven't noticed yet, I LOVE leather. Leather pants, leather trimmed shirts, leather shorts, leather skirts, leather jackets, and obviously leather bags. I don't know what it is about leather but the second I put on a piece that has any leather in it I automatically feel chic. The weather in Brisbane on the other hand is making it extremely difficult for me to wear anything I truly love. Like leather, layers, and fur. 

The tank and the leather pants in these photos are yet another amazing bargain I got from Calexico on James Street. The Acne Studios top which was originally priced at $170.00 I got for only $25.00. These Mother Denim pants were sold for $300.00 which I got for only $60.00. The savings that were made at this sale are still seriously blowing my mind. If only that store had a sale everyday...

Its been a while since I put up a new outfit post but this was well worth the wait! I am obsessed with this Helmut Lang top that I got from Calexico on James Street. You know that sale I said I went to a couple weekends back? Well this shirt was $460.00 marked down to $90.00. Talk about savings! Obviously I had to include my new bag in this outfit (expect to see it in a lot more photos).

In other news,  I hope everyone in the States enjoyed their long weekend this past weekend! 

Next week look out for a post on my Instagram, @katieeveblogspot,  (and possibly Katie-eve.blogspot.com) for a video lookbook of this outfit and a couple others. I did a killer video shoot this morning with my good friend Laura Brain. She is an amazing photographer for Moda Creative in Brisbane.

I think that when any girl wears all black it gives her a little something extra. ESPECIALLY when the all black outfit is half leather. I absolutely love this look. I matched this all black and leather ensemble with some studded hightops for an even edgier but casual look. These sneakers are becoming some of my favorites but I am still trying to get my hands on a pair of Isabel Marant Bekkets (like every other girl in the world has been). 

This weekend one of my favorite stores in Brisbane, Calexico, had the most outrageous and amazing sale I have ever been to. They were selling everything in their store for 80% off. Their stock includes Isabel Marant, Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Acne, IRO, A.L.C, and many other fabulous designers. I got a good haul so I cant wait to show all of you on my upcoming blog outfit posts!

I love these J Brand jeans so much and to make them even more amazing, I bought them about 5 months ago for 40% off. No matter what time of the year, I think this shade of green goes great with all sorts of outfits and occasions. I paired them with a black belt, white shirt, and snakeskin peep-toe booties for a more edgy but casual look. 

Zara Striped Blazer + Chambray Shirt

I like to think of this outfit as my own personal version of a canadian tuxedo. I love the layered look with the blazer over the chambray shirt. The dark denim on the bottom breaks up the outfit a bit more and doesnt give it that severe denim on denim look. While taking these photos it was about 30 degrees celcius and 90 percent humidity... not so fun.
