The weather has quickly turned cold, and Melbourne has resumed work after the long summer holiday away -
I just love Winter! Winter is a time where true Melbournian style arises from the depths of corporate blacks and woollen scarfs.
Although Summer is full of festivals, music, balmy nights and long carefree days, the heat and humidity tend to play havoc on energy levels and force one into a 'minimalist is better' clothing policy.
But Winter allows more freedom in dressing. There are so many ways to create differant outfits and and play around with styles with fabrics designed to cover and insulate the body warm.
Long, leathery black boots, richly tinted trench coats and a secret obsession with corporate shorts teamed with patterned stockings all get me giddy.
In Winter you can wrap yourself up in glorious materials, slurp copious amounts of coffee without feeling guilty in the slightest and snuggle to those close.
Winter is allowing and kind to the soul, and I can't wait for the season to kick in at it's fullest - Melbourne rain, icy haze and all!
