Winter Wonderland

Today was the first day of Winter for us Australians. It's not quite like the Northern Hemisphere Winter but believe it or not we do actually get snow in some parts of Australia. Unfortunately, we don't in Sydney but they do in the Blue Mountains in the really cool winters, which is only about 2 hours west of Sydney. I personally love Winter - the boots, scarfs, woollen coats, fur, hot chocolate with marshmallows, homemade soup and rugging-up by a heater or fire. I don't think I'll be hitting the slopes this year but I would sure love to. Even though I went snowboarding year after year at Perisher (one of the Australian snowfield),  and have been to Europe, America & Canada in the Winter, I still get extremely excited whenever I see snow! I especially love a white Christmas and the magical atmosphere that comes with it. Everything just looks so beautiful covered in fresh white flakes of snow :) 

 Oh I get so excited about rugging-up in fur whether real or faux!

 Sure the traditional winter fur boots & knit sweater may be a little kitsch but I can't help love them :)

When it comes to Victoria Beckham I'm in two mind sets - sometimes she looks absolutely amazing and other times she just comes off looking like a trashy bimbo who is missing a few brain cells. I've shuddered a few times seeing her reality show when she first moved to LA and some of the editorials and campaigns (Remember her in the paper bag in the Marc Jacobs campaign? What the hell was with that???). However, I rather like her clothing & accessories label and her book titled "That Extra Half Inch Inch". Some have questioned whether the line and book are really her own doings. If I knew for sure that they were, then I think I would be forced to retract my previous comment on her being a bit of a bimbo.

I saw one of the above images in a Who Magazine which was lying around the office at work and googled it straight away to find more images. Beckham is pregnant with her 4th child in this pic yet I hardly think you can tell. I'm quite a fan of the head to toe black look. I'm equally of fan of over the knee boots, black tights and sleek blazer. They are staple pieces in my wardrobe. Her Brian Atwood boots and a bag from her own line are gorgeous. Winter wardrobe checklist - tuxedo blazer, basic black top and leggings & a pair of killer suede boots please!
