On Wednesday's We Wear Pink

30 April 2014

All Things Pink

Alexander Wang bag | Asos heels | Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 camera | Pixie Market croptop | Red Valentino skirt | Dior lipstick | Miss Selfridge coat | Versace perfume

All things pink on this wonderful Wednesday! Pastel pink is the most perfect colour and my absolute favourite shade to wear at the moment. I wish I could throw everything pink on together all at once! I guess I'll just have to daydream about it in the meantime.

Silver Details

22 April 2014

It's no secret that I love an accessory and thanks to Dogeared, I now have some super sweet silver jewellery to add the perfect detail to any outfit. I've been wearing a lot of gold lately, but this collaboration has helped renew my once undoubted allegiance to silver. This necklace is actually longer than it appears in these photos; it's supposed to drop down to sit somewhere on your stomach but I decided to wrap it around my neck instead to make it shorter. I love playing around with clothes and accessories and styling them in ways that are a bit different to normal. It's a fun and creative way to get more wear out of items, plus it also adds a nice personal touch!

My new accessories are the perfect complement to the silver zipper details in my outfit. Not only are these jeans amazing to look at, but they're ultra skinny (super slimming) and made from the softest, stretchiest, most comfortable denim. My heels have zips too! I bought them last year and they're still on high rotation. White heels give a feminine edge to just about any outfit. Combined with this blush bustier top, girly pieces like these balance out the masculinity of  black jeans.

MBFWA Outfit Inspiration

9 April 2014

MBFWA is here and there's nothing I love more than checking out Sydney's amazing streetstyle. Constantly seeing photos of Fashion Week in my Instagram feed makes me wish I could be there though. Truth of the matter is, the only way I'll experience Fashion Week is vicariously through Instagram. So here's some outfit inspiration I've prepared in the meantime. If I was going to Fashion Week, these are the sorts of outfits I'd like to wear and how I'd incorporate some of my favourite trends at the moment. 


MBFWA LOOK #1 - Lace + print clashing
My first look includes a lace hem cami, which is a great way to dress up a simple black top. Lace detailing is always a good idea and this season's trends dictate that wearing lace trim tops outside of the bedroom is a-ok. I've also clashed this monochrome printed skirt with the leopard print in the heels. I then took the signature red sole of the Louboutins and matched it to the crossbody bag and perfume too. Gold tones complete the look with the addition of a dainty necklace and an ornate bangle.

MBFWA LOOK #2 - Cool blues
One of my favourite trends at the moment is the colour blue. I really love this soft blue and as you can see there are a number of ways to incorporate it into an outfit. Pleats are cute and feminine and this pleated cropped top goes perfectly with a high waisted skirt or would be great with high wasted jeans too. Stripes are a timeless staple, so why not add a striped denim skirt to the look? As this style is quite casual and relaxed, the sneakers are an ideal match, again adding blue tones to the outfit. To tie it all together I've included a black floppy hat and a fun pineapple bag, which add different shapes and textures to keep the look easygoing and interesting.

MBFWA LOOK #3 - Brights + lasercut booties
I love this ultra feminine outfit so much. I'm a real girly girl so bright colours and floral prints are where it's at for me. These love heart lasercut booties are adorable too and complete the girlish look. Pink and blue hues are really popular at the moment so this mix of colour is the perfect way to brighten up an Autumn day. 

MBFWA LOOK #4 - Pale pinks
Here's another overly feminine look, this time using pale pinks instead of brights. Blush hues are everywhere at the moment, so styling with soft colours is a great way to stay on trend. I've always loved pastels so this is my ideal kind of casual outfit. Pale pink is an easy way to incorporate colour into an everyday look without it looking too over the top. Hello girl power!(Insert winky face and blow kiss while striking ubercute pose).

Nailing It

22 March 2014

Nail polish is something that I always select very carefully. I rarely walk into a nail salon and choose a colour on the spot. More often than not I bring my own from my ever growing nail polish collection at home. 

I've always had a soft spot for nail polish. I don't buy expensive brands normally but as I wandered through a maze of beauty products about a month ago at the airport in Dubai, I stumbled upon an array of lust worthy shades from Dior. I've never seen polish as beautiful as these before and I had to talk myself out of buying them because it would have been impossible to choose just one colour. The whole Dior Vernis range is like a visual cocktail of vibrant sparkle and shine and is currently at the top of my list of products to try. 

These are some of the shades that caught my eye.


Chanel's Megastore

8 March 2014

















































Karl Lagerfeld went above and beyond with his impressively detailed set at the Chanel Fall 2014 show. The runway was transformed into a megastore in which the shelves were stacked with more than a hundred thousand items! He cleverly took everyday products and converted them into a sort of 'Chanelspeak'. No bargains found here though!

Beyond the atmosphere and sheer brilliance of the set was the fashion (oh the fashion!) that made its way down the runway. Cara Delevingne opened the show in a pink twosie - one of the many candy coloured combinations to be seen in the collection. Kendall Jenner also strutted the runway coveting a Chanel loaded shopping basket to complement her luxury workout-wear. 

Most importantly, Lagerfeld has ensured the rise of the trainer in the fashion world. The Fashion Week streets saw them in multitudes but trainers have now turned couture. Lagerfeld created the collection from the shoe up, placing great importance on them and declaring they had to continue. As an athlete who lives in runners, I couldn't be happier. 

Regardless, the crux of Chanel's megastore extravaganza: Fashion is a supermarket, so you might as well shop.  Cheers, Karl! 

Spray Petal

Bec & Bridge tank | By Johnny skirt (similar here) | Zu heels | Coach gold bangle

I bought this top a while ago because I loved the colour and the sheer silk fabric but I just couldn't seem to find anything to wear it with. I didn't want to pair it with black on the bottom because I thought it would look too dull and take away from the pretty pop of pink on top. This left me with few other choices, so it hung in my wardrobe for a good month before this piece of petaled perfection arrived at my doorstep. 

By Johnny has to be one of my favourite designers. His mini skirts are to die for and the quality of his fabric is amazing. I love wearing patterned or statement skirts because they look great with basic tops such as a sheer cami or cropped top and they can often be dressed up or down. I also love how girly and feminine this pattern is and because it's almost stunning enough to wear on it's own, only a touch of subtle jewellery is needed to complete the look. 

Sabo Skirt

29 October 2013








I'm currently crushing on the latest lookbook by Sabo Skirt. I love these pictures! Every photo is gorgeous and the borders are equally beautiful. Sabo Skirt has to be one of my favourite online shopping destinations. Not only are the clothes affordable but it's also my one stop shop when it comes to buying cute and comfortable pieces. The girls at Sabo never fail to produce original and pretty pastel prints all year round. Their products are so different to anything else I can find at the shops or even online and they have a uniqueness that stands out from many other brands. Not only am I obsessed with Sabo Skirt but I've also managed to get my sisters hooked too. The most difficult thing for me now is controlling myself when it comes to adding nearly every item to my shopping cart!
