Geometric

Top via Runway Scout | By Johnny skirt | Tony Bianco heels | Mimco clutch | Forever New necklace | Samantha Wills bracelet

This skirt is definitely a favourite from last year. By Johnny makes the most amazing printed mini skirts and this one ticks all the boxes when it comes to geometric patterns. I love the simple yet colourful print of this skirt. It's incredibly easy to style and you'll be surprised how many things go with it. I've styled it here in a simple, elegant way for a classy night time look, but pairing it with colours can make the outfit more fun and vibrant too. Get creative with colourful prints. Try adding in other colours, textures or cuts (like I've done with this crop top) to keep the look interesting.

I thought I'd take a break from the cold winter here in Germany to express my love for the current monochrome trend. Colour has taken a bit of a backseat lately and black and white can be seen dominating the runways and streets. The best thing about monochrome is its versatility. There are so many ways to wear it including stripes, spots or in block colours. 

I took these photos before I left and boy am I missing summer back home. This is a super simple way to wear monochrome and the combination of black and white is as timeless as it is flattering. I love wearing black, so the black mini skirt and heels were a must. The white trim on this crop top then gave this outfit the perfect contrast and mono effect it needed. 

Only two more days until I fly home. As much as I'm loving being away, I'm also quite excited to be home. I'm mostly excited to see my boyfriend, sleep in my own bed and hopefully devour a whole bowl of vegetables (after being deprived for two weeks). Until then I've got a couple more days to soak up the experience and enjoy the rest of my time overseas! 

Catara

Meet my precious catara mini skirt by one of my favourite Australian labels Aje. I bought this skirt in ivory a few years ago so when it came out in black I just had to get my hands on it. These sequin beauties sell out so quickly though and initially they sold out of my size. Imagine my delight when I discovered they restocked it in black! That prized skirt was in my shopping cart quicker than you can say sequin. 

The catara mini will take you anywhere from an elegant dinner to a night out on the town (reputation intact). The designers at Aje aim for an aesthetic in which statement pieces are paired back with basic tops and tees to create effortless glamour, tough femininity and disheveled elegance. As I'm not much of tee girl, I prefer to go for a more super glam look and pair my sequinned treasure with a top of equal statement. 

Sheike hit the nail on the head with this fitted bustier. It's so detailed but seems sophisticated and simple at the same time. The belt is my favourite part of the top but I also love the gentle flared waist peplum too. This outfit goes to show that pairing two statement pieces together can work and it's also a great way to keep an all over sequin skirt classy. 

21!

Here are some pics from my 21st a few weeks ago. It was my first birthday at home in seven years, so it was awesome to be able to spend it with my family in Brisbane. It was so much fun and I got to wear my new dress and shoes out too!
