Sex Cocktails in the city

So last night I headed into the city with my pals Jc and Bees for a night of girly cocktails and chit chat.

We hit up regular favorite Tony Starr's Kitten Club and Gin Palace, both located on Little Collins street.

I always find that when a group of 3 or 4 girls get together, conversation always leads to which Sex & The City girl each one is.

No matter what group I am in, I am always the Charlotte. Not by choice, but I guess that is just who I am. Always.

Then there is always the clear Samantha girl, and then the last two girls are left fighting over Carrie, not wanting to be Miranda. Poor Miranda. 

Anyway, although it may seem like I am a bit of a Charlotte, I like to think I dress like a Carrie. 

Which was the case last night as I got to break out my new ASOS faux fur coat that I got on sale and incidentally purchased because it reminded me of the fur coat Carrie always wore in the earlier seasons of the show.

I am wearing...

Dress: Asos | Coat: Asos | Tights: supermarket | Shoes: black glitter Litas, Jeffrey Campbell | Necklaces: Asos | Lipstick: Mac (can't remember the name of it, too lazy to check.) 

Writing all that down I find it slightly embarrassing, not in a bad way, that so much of my outfit is from Asos. 

Obviously I am addicted and need to attend AA meetings, Asos-aholics Anonymous. Ha. 

I went pretty simple as it was a cold and rainy Melbourne night, but I glamed it up with the necklaces, the coat and Litas. 

I also had the most delicious cocktail at Tony Starr's Kittens Club. 

It was called "Just Desserts" and it tasted exactly like lemon cheesecake - a favorite of mine! 

Lastly I will leave you with a close up of the necklaces - I just feel my attempt at a selfie does not do them justice! 

New York Fashion Street.

I know it may be some kind of crime to admit this, but although I love seeing the runway shows from fashion week, the thing I love even more is the street style!
Dozens upon dozens of women, and men, dressed in their finery brave the streets of manhattan this year, hoping to view next seasons styles - as well as be shot by a street photographer or two!
Anyway, as I flicked through all of the photos taken, a recent quote by Vivian Westwood popped into my head, "everybody looks like clones".
And as I gazed at over 500 photos, I realized I was getting bored and that everyone did look the same, and the seeping feeling of disappointment arose inside me, and I realised she was right.

Anyway, out of the 605 photos I looked out, these are the ones that interested me enough to actually save and share with you all.

I defiantly feel that the men were repping it this year! What they do with layering and mixing textures defiantly interested me more than what some of the women were doing.
I wear a lot of black, so as you can probably tell, I love bursts of bright colours to break it up a bit.
I am also loving the trend of coloured furs that seem to be coming in (faux of course), I have a teal/green one sitting in my closet from Topshop that I am waiting to break out once the colder months set in!

I am looking forward to seeing the London and Paris fashion week street style photos, I feel the Europeans never let us down with daring fashion statements!
