1970s Vintage Winter Lookbook

Now that it's the last month of Winter in Australia, I thought it would be a good idea to create a Winter Lookbook featuring all of my favourite pieces that I wear when it's cold outside.

I love watching Lookbooks on YouTube so I thought it'd be a fun idea to try on this blog too.

My go-to pieces for Winter are:
Turtlenecks
Big fluffy coats
Fringed jackets
Boots
Capes
Ponchos
Culottes 
Midi Skirts
Mini skirts with coloured tights
Belts and hats.

All of these pieces keep me warm and make me feel fab.
And if you ask me, Winter by the Rolling Stones is the perfect song to accompany this Winter-themed blog post.

Looking back on these photos brings back lovely memories of places I've visited in Melbourne.

What are your go-to pieces for Winter?

See you next Wednesday in a new post.

    Ooh, you have a great 70s-vibe going on here, Jess. I love the fringed jacket and your blouse/vest/snakeskin skirt outfit.

    For fall/winter here, I swap out my wardrobe and put away all my summer stuff. I have such an eclectic style it would be hard to say what's really different! I do tend to more dark colours (but you know I always have my brights!), and warmer fabrics, but overall, it's still me.

    Thanks Shiela. You know me, I love 60s and 70s fashion.
    Swapping your clothes over is a great idea. I do that with my Summer and Winter clothes too. I can't wait to pull out my Summer suitcase in a few months and rediscover my treasures. X

    What a fabulous round-up of outfits - there's some beautiful pieces there! I'm intrigued by how you know you're in the last month of Winter, here in the UK the weather changes constantly, fur hats and coats in mid-Summer aren't unheard of! xxx

      Hi Vix!
      If you're going by the calendar, Winter in Melbourne goes from June-August, then Spring starts in September, but it can still be chilly in Spring.

      In Australia, we definitely wouldn't wear coats in Summer, it can be 30-40°C. The weather here and in the UK is so different, isn't it?! It's so much colder where you are. X

Recommended at the price, insatiable an appetite, wanna try?

  A little while ago, my mum, sister and I had lunch at one of our favourite places in the city, Conservatory. It's an all you can eat restaurant with a wide variety of food. Mostly I dream of the seafood and I was SO excited to go. I love the lighted ceiling and marble staircase that greets you on the way in. I wore my new-to-me cream midi dress with cute puffy sleeves that I recently bought at a market for $7. I wasn't sure if the colour would suit me, but I like how it looks with the coral necklace. Ready to eat! The oysters were so delicious and my absolute favourite! My mum took a sneaky photo of my sister and I chatting.  See you next time, Conservatory! Although we always leave feeling so full and we swear we'll never return again! To end this post, I'll share some more recent photos... My sister and I enjoyed having a sister night, watching the Barbie movie and eating burgers at Grill'd. Yum - my favourite! I had to wear pink of course! Have you seen the mov

She's the lady who wears those flashing eyes

    Recently, I've been loving the colour pink. I think it may be because I've been seeing so many reels of cute, pink kitchens on Instagram or perhaps it's because I've been adoring my pink, strawberry jug I shared on my blog recently . Regardless, I've never really paid much attention to the colour pink until recently. I was determined to find a pink dress and luckily I didn't have to look far because I found this pink and red dress at the next opshop I visited, Savers. A bit pricey for opshops ($15.80), but I was happy to purchase this dress because it's beautiful and Sportsgirl sell their dresses for $80+ in their stores.     I had to take my new-to-me dress out for a twirl on a day out to Daylesford with my mum. She wanted to visit the lavender farm again whilst the purple delights were still in bloom.           The scent of lavendar was wonderful. I keep a bag of dried lavender by my bed, it's supposed to help you fall asleep.   We took some natu

Beach baby, beach baby, give me your hand

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!
