Tokyo

Absolutely head over heels for Tokyo!

I've spent the better part of this week exploring the incredible sights, sounds and fashion this amazing city has on offer.

It's all I hoped for and more. Copious amounts of fresh sushi, a never ending supply of neon, beautiful manicured gardens, Harajuku girls, and fabulous shopping on every street.

Already planning my next visit.

Luv,
Friend in Fashion

P.S. I'll be hopping on a plane tomorrow on my way back to Sydney for some crazy New Year celebrations, before relocating to Melbourne! So excited to check out the Melbourne fashion scene, sharing my adventures with you along the way.

Lake Como, where these pictures were taken, has got to be one of the most beautiful places I've been lucky enough to visit. A great place to relax, unwind and fitting for my latest tweed purchase.

Allison Wonderland - Part I

Earlier in the year, on a quick visit back to Australia, I had the chance of catching up for a second time with local photographer Nichol Brooklyn.

You can check out our first collaboration here - baby you can drive my car and here – summer in the city.

We grabbed the camera, threw on the heels and headed into the botanic gardens for some fun.

I had a great time whirling and twirling in the exquisite tulle creations by Ouma Clothing.

Stay tuned for part two coming soon!

Romania

Apologies for the brief hiatus, I've spent the better half of a fortnight in Romania, (internet-less), and what a wonderful surprise it has been!

In terms of shopping, Romania has to be one of Europe's best kept secrets - with an abundance of amazing malls and incredible bargain shopping.

P.S. The countdown to my birthday is on, and I picked up the most perfect party shoes in Milan - can't wait to share with you soon!

DIY dream

I was asked by one of my readers the other day if I like to DIY when it comes to fashion and the resounding answer was YES!

I absolutely love to customise my style as much as possible, from simply changing over buttons, to reconstructing an oversized vintage bargain.

This is one of my favourite DIY outfits. I absolutely fell in love with the print of this (what was oversized) vintage dress, so I brought in the seams and customised the hem-line.

Inspired by this fabulous Louboutin DIY, courtesy of the wonderful ...love Megan, I also had a field day DIY(ing) these Target stilettos and finally, the belt, a left-over piece of chiffon.

I'm wearing:
Dress: Vintage
Shoes: Target - DIY

Amazing weekend to you all!

Neon crush

I felt like the Greek Islands was the perfect place to debut my latest wardrobe crush - this oversized, hot pink vintage blazer!

Affectionately referred to as Margaret Thatcher (unsure why - maybe it's the 80's feel), I couldn't help but keep the neon theme going by teaming with my bright blue kitten heels.

I'm wearing:
Vintage blazer - Available at Shop Friend in Fashion
Shoes: Markets, Spain
Shorts: American Apparel
Shirt: Markets, Vietnam
Sunglasses: Markets, Italy
