Wishlist: Winter Warmers Part 1 - UNDER $50

Okay, it is getting seriously cold in Melbourne these days. Which means I'm staying indoors more and more often, with all my creature comforts on hand (blankets, hot water bottles, mismatched socks and ugly matching tracksuit outfits). However, my sister and I are planning a trip to the UK and Europe at the end of the year, and I keep telling myself that I need to get used to the cold temperatures while at home so I'll be less likely to freeze solid when it comes around to the December/January winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

For a lazy house bug like me, the effort of wearing actual proper outfits each day (let's be honest, maybe three or four days a week) is beyond irritating. Being an adult is seeming less and less appealing with every added responsibility. Anyway. I've been slowly building up a wardrobe of winter clothes, including sweaters, coats, knits and jackets. In typical unoriginal 2010s style, the 90s turtleback seems to be the ultimate winter item. Roll neck, cowl neck, turtleneck, whatever you want to call it, I'm 100% on board. Super easy to just throw on with a pair of dark jeans, boots and a coat or hat for an easy, effortless (some minor effort required) minimal winter look.

Here are some of my picks for a budget of $50 or less!

ASOS Sleeveless Roll Neck Tunic in Rib with Split Sides - $49

ASOS Jumper with Roll Neck - $43

Atmos&Here Perrin Roll Neck Knit - $49.99

Wishlist: Romersk Sleepwear

Hello to anyone reading this! Summer is burning beautifully bright this year. I'm not a massive fan of the over 40 degree days, especially when I'm stuck at work, but with some air-con, ice-cubes and near naked attire (NOT when I'm at work), it's been manageable! I'll do a spam blog post soon of some of my favourite photographs taken recently. (I'm no professional photographer, these are all silly snaps taken on my iPhone!) Gotta love friends with pools in their backyards ;)

Another label that has caught my eye this year has been Romersk Sleepwear. I first spotted the label through an Instagram comment (@romersksleepwear - I bloody love the convenience of Insta) and I discovered that I adore their products! They've recently launched a new line of intimate sleepwear, suitable for the hot summer nights that await. Romersk do not have a large range of sleepwear items, but I think this just makes them all the more special. Items are suitably priced, and as written on their website, they exude a lovely state of mind - freedom, happiness and comfort. For dreamers, road trippers and lovers of life! Below are some of my favourite items from their intimates range - product names are clickable and will send you to the product page on the Romersk website.

Sweet dreams!

Wishlist: TRIANGL

The weather in Melbourne has finally delivered the goods! Today is a steamy hot 41 degree day, and the rest of the week looks to be much of the same. (I sound like a weather girl. Don't have the looks I guess. 'There's a 34% chance that it's already raining!') 

In the next week, I'm going to do several blog posts about items/products that are in my wishlist for this summer... forever drifting through my imagination, never quite attainable... But still lovely to admire!

1. TRIANGL Swimwear and Underwear (http://www.triangl.com)

Triangl is a Hong Kong based company that is Australian owned and managed, and their bikinis have been massively popular over the last few months. Their swimwear line is fairly minimalistic in design, but have a flattering cut, exude bright summer neons and neutrals and are made out of a micro-mesh/nylon and spandex blend - similar to wetsuit material. Personally, I prefer their underwear line designs to the swimwear range. Plus they're cheaper, so that's a bonus! And like always, Triangl's popularity paves the way for numerous other look-a-likes from other surf brands, so if you don't mind not having the label itself, you can probably find a similar look for a lower price. 

Triangl operates solely as an online boutique. They offer a flat rate of $10 shipping within Australia, and offer international shipping as well. Their website also offers a live chat to ask questions which is very helpful, as buying underwear and swimwear online can be quite difficult size-wise!
