Asymmetric long sleeve tee - bassike.com $130.00 AUD

I know that this is not the cheapest tee shirt in the world but I can tell you the quality is amazing and will last for many years. The Bassike cut is perfect with slouchy long sleeves. Roll them up in warmer months.

Wraps and Ponchos are a classic item and there are lots around this season. I LOVE this one from CountryRoad. Light and super soft this is a lovely piece that would look great with anything.

The hoodie is a great way to dress your skinny leather pants down with trainers or up with a killer pair of heels. Love this one from Zara, wear it lounging at home on the sofa, or off to the gym in the cooler months.

Slouchy track pants are everywhere and don't seem to be going out of fashion, in fact, they have become an easy staple. These are great Bassike quality and have just the right amount of slouch.

Grey marl jersey dress - bassike.com $140.00 AUD

Bassike, as you may have noticed are my go to for basics and have the best assortment of styles with long and short sleeves in basic colourways as well as stripes. These dresses go on and on every season and are so versatile.

White cotton poplin top - cos.com $55.00 AUD

Keep it fresh with this crisp and sharp white cotton top for work or weekend. This top is a refreshing twist on the shirt with cuff, clean round neckline and volume at the back. Wear with a slim leg pant and trainers or jeans and a heel. A perfect "throw on" item. Cos have opened stores here in Australia recently.

skinny leather leggings - joseph.com $580.00 GBP

These Joseph stretch leather pull on trousers are contemporary in dark charcoal grey and are also available in black and stone. These would look amazing with a tee shirt and trainers, dressed up with a cotton poplin shirt and boots or dressed down with knitwear. They would be an incredible investment item that can play a huge role in your wardrobe for the cooler months of the season.

white 501 jeans  - levis.com $109.00 AUD — white 501 jeans - levis.com $109.00 AUD

Simple classic 501 jeans are still one of the best and a great price, these white one's can be an all year round staple.
