When Bronny asked me to write this article, outlining and listing my ten favourite items in my wardrobe, I thought it would be an incredibly difficult task. I have an inbuilt, ridiculously large, three-door wardrobe, so you can imagine why I was dreading the process. To my surprise however, coming up with my favourite ten pieces was actually really easy. I didn’t even need to stand in front of my wardrobe to figure them out. The list seemed to easily scroll down in my mind, as if it was already there, waiting for an unveiling. I did exclude jewellery however, because otherwise, how could I only list ten? So, without further ado, here are my most favourite pieces in my wardrobe:

1. Alannah Hill ‘Joseph and the Technicolour Dream Coat’
Ok, so the ‘Joseph and the Technicolour Dream Coat’ title is not the correct one, but I forget what whimsical name Alannah Hill created for what I have named ‘the best coat ever made’. Without a doubt, this is my favourite piece of clothing and I’m not sure if anything will ever match it. My boyfriend bought me the coat as a gift for our first anniversary and, six years on, the long coat and long relationship are both going strong. I call it the ‘Technicolour Dream Coat’ because it is a combination of swirls, squiggles and boxes, in purples, pinks, greens, oranges and yellows. Sounds odd? Trust me, it’s not. It’s fabulous.

2. Giorgio Armani ‘Classic Leather Flats’
Yes, I am a shoe girl. And these would be my favourite. They are like a thong, but they do not flip flop. When wearing them it feels as though your feet are bare, yet they offer magnificent protection. They are comfortable, stylish and yes, I do wish I bought seven pairs just so I would never ever have to think about being without them.

3. Alannah Hill ‘Self-Portrait’ Face Bag
Oh, yes, I am a handbag girl too. This limited edition Alannah Hill pink bag was designed in the image of Alannah Hill and it attracts compliments every time I carry it.

4. Arabella Ramsay Dress
White, with mini purple dots and a gorgeous bird motif, this dress is sheer, summery and very ‘picnic in the garden’.

5. Alannah Hill ‘Razzle Dazzle’ Outfit
Again, I forgot Alannah’s magical title for the outfit, but I call it the ‘Razzle Dazzle’. Consisting of a ‘Swizzle’ mini skirt in hot pink, and combined with a brown and pink lace top, the outfit is my fail-safe formal saviour. Throw in the matching shoes and it really is fail-safe. And oh so girly.

6. Princess Highway Jacket
It’s a beautiful green coloured jacket with an orange trim and it screams I’m corporate…but hot on style.

7. Mimco Clutch
As a person who carries plenty in their bag, it was wonderful finding a patent red clutch to carry around (that still manages to hold the basics).

8. Metallicus Tops
When your office mainly consists of your home, it’s nice to be comfortable but still maintain a level of style and sophistication. Metallicus is both of those things for me. Comfy and breathable, whilst being funky and pretty, it’s functional and fabulous.

9. Review Suit
A winner. Never lets me down. It’s a pinky/green striped number, with sparkly buttons and a flared skirt, that makes me feel as though I am boarding a boat to cross the Atlantic in the mid 1940s. Pure divinity.

10. Camper Shoes
All five pairs of them. And I’m not choosing. * Honourable mentions go to Spencer & Rutherford and Douglas & Hope for a multitude of handbags, Rodeo Show for my favourite winter dresses, Veronika Maine for my cardigans, Alba Fan Club for my jeans, Mollini for lots of heels, Giorgio Armani for the rest of the heels and all my treasured one offs from markets and independent stores across Melbourne.
