A true testament to Melbourne's moodiness...these photos were taken within the hour. Love it or hate it, Melbourne's "four seasons in a day" is always a great talking point amongst locals and forever the first thing we warn outta-towners. Personally, I say bring it on! It is what makes this city unique and beautiful, after-all where else in the world can you carry on small talk about the weather?

By the way, you will come to realised that during the cold, my wardrobe is in various shades of black (grey, navy, charcoal). My friends always tease me about my monotone... I reassure them that my wardrobe is not just in various shades of black, but does include white and a splash of leopard print haha. Not to worry, I have been experimenting with colours more (especially since black is so hard to photograph), and rest assure, where I do put a dark outfit together, I always mix textures - leather, lace, silk, cashmere, hide - this keeps the look interesting as it adds dimension (these jeans are a perfect example of amp-up, it features a subtle python print that looks '3-D' as the print is in a different texture). Do you have a particular colour that you can always count on?
