I've Fallen In Love...

I've fallen in love. It was breathtaking, instantaneous and unplanned. It took just one look, and I was gone. 

Ok, maybe that's a little dramatic, but I do believe in love at first sight, and this was definitely what happened when I saw this gorgeous Mary Katrantzou dress in the window of Green With Envy the other day.


Isn't it gorgeous? I absolutely love the inky indigo winter graphic print, and it's so unusual to see such a design on a ball gown. The boned bodice and wide skirt hark back to a glamorous, feminine period but with a totally modern print. Imagine wearing it to a masquerade ball, or really standing out at a formal event.






Unfortunately, I do not have invitations to either of those things. Even the next best event, my 21st, is two years away. I am also not currently in possession of $3,370, which is what this beauty will set me back. Sigh. Onto the 'I Wish' list.

What are you currently coveting?

I'm Never Taking Them Off.

Thought I'd share one of my favourite buys from the other day with you - these black and white animal print harem trouser from Ally Fashions.


Now I really wasn't a fan of harem trousers before, but after wearing them all day I am a serious convert. So much so that I'm even insisting on wearing them to go out tonight for dinner and drinks. While the style is not the most flattering on the bum, they're so comfy AND a great way to wear this season's printed pant. 


For day, I paired them with my white cat turban knit (animal print overload!), a chunky silver chain and a pair of white converse for a sporty/playful look.


For night time I swapped the jumper for a soft grey t-shirt, leather jacket and wore my black NOVO espadrilles.

(Excuse the dodgy selfie!)

I love that while they're incredibly comfy, they're also versatile, working both day and night. I'd love to get a gorgeous black or white silk cami to really glam it up for the evening. The best thing though? They only cost $19.99! Bargain.

Sundays Are Not Made For Working

Ain't it the truth. Unfortunately working in retail/entertainment, there's rarely such thing as a weekend. Here's to dreaming about lazy days in bed, visiting markets, brunch with friends and soaking up sunshine. I hope whatever your plans are today, you have a fabulous Sunday.

After I return from work, I'm so excited to start the launch of all my big plans for the blog. November (aka TheBigBloggingMonth) will be an exciting and post-filled month on Halcyon Future, with plenty of reviews, how to's, outfit posts, and fashion and beauty inspiration. 

I've also hit 100 posts on Instagram, so for more halcyon fun, don't forget to follow me - @halcyonfuturefashion 

Hope you'll come along for the ride!
