PENGUIN ALLEY

One thing you should know, is that I love venturing into little hidden laneways and smaller streets where you might find anything from a cosy French creperie, to a quaint Japanese cafe, to an awesome store by a local label stocking beautiful printed jeans (I do speak of actual places). There are also a few in the city with brightly graffiti-ed walls that are essentially incredible pieces of street art - this one where I was is also home to much hyped-about Spanish restaurant Mo Vida!

Meet my new friend ;)
Wearing: Sportsgirl Knit; Ditsy Floral Print Jumpsuit c/o Motel Rocks; Boots from Japan

Brought out the bright colours on a gloomy day - I used to think that red could NEVER go with yellow, same for green and pink, purple and orange, but anyway that opinion has clearly changed. Motel Rocks has done a really cute little vintage-inspired jumpsuit in their latest collection, complete with floral prints and a collar. Paired it with a gorgeously bright yellow scoop-back knit (my colour of the moment) which brought out the little yellow floral accents pretty nicely. They've also done this ditsy print in shorts, skirt and camisole to keep you colour and print happy all winter (and summer) long!

While we're on the topic of brights and prints, remember these Motel Rocks razzle dazzle pants I fell in love with earlier? Here's another one of their Jordan Jeans in an amazing aztec print that's well and truly caught my attention.

Motel Rocks is stocked online at The Iconic, as well as Glue and David Jones stores.
