RAY BAN

Dear Friends,

TWITTER followers would know that lately, I've been on a mad hunt for the perfect sunglasses, so naturally I was thrilled, when the team at SHADESDADDY.COM kindly invited me to pick a pair from their website to review.

With so much selection, it took some time to pick my favourite pair, but ultimately, I couldn't go past the classic RAY BAN aviators! Amazing brands and so many great bargains to be had, if you're on the hunt for some new shades of your own, you must check out SHADESDADDY.com.

Next on my list are these RETRO SUPER FUTURE 'Blonde Havana's', after-all you can never have too much of a good thing!

P.S. Absolutely loving this new maxi dress with cut-out detail! Perfect for warm summer evenings by the beach!

Bring on summer!

Look of the Day: Flared jeans

 

 

 

 

As many of you have guessed, it's flare jeans that I swore I would never wear again, but when I tried these, I thought that this was time to change something, I mean these types of jeans can be really flattering!
I guess matching them with a denim shirt was the safest way to go, until I figure out how to fully incorporate them into my wardrobe.

P.S. Please excuse the messy hair, it was really windy when we were taking these shots.

I'm wearing:
Jeans - 7 For All Mankind (found similar ones here, here and here)
Denim shirt - H&M
Shoes - Asos from last year
Bag - ASOS Contrast Duffle Bag

Never Say Never

Today I'm wearing something I thought I would never put on again. Can you guess what this is? 

Gotta go run some important errands that I will tell you about a bit later. 

Have a great day!!!

Look of the Day: Maxi Skirt

 

 

It's been so long since I last wore this skirt I made last year. Right now its seems like a perfect fall piece, cause it's super warm and, what's more important, it's black, I just can't help wearing dark clothes when it's cold and all those mustard yellows and teals seem so uninteresting :)

On another note, a couple of days ago I cut about 20 cm of my hair and now feel like I have no hair at all, cause what's left feels so light :) I hope it grows back quickly!

I'm wearing:
Jacket - Zara
Shirt - unknown
Bag - Asos (similar ones here, here and here).)
Skirt - made it myself
Boots - Newlook

New Bags from Asos

Again, I fell for Asos bags, I just can't seem to control myself whenever I see a pretty bag that goes on sale :) Which of these bags do you like the most?

First bag - ASOS Faux Croc Tuck Lock Day Bag (already out of stock, but they have similar ones in other colors here, here and here).

Second bag - ASOS Contrast Duffle Bag

MAD LOVE

Dear friends,

Melbourne certainly turned on the weather over the weekend, albeit only for one day.

Nonetheless, the warmth meant I was able to whip out the singlet, shorts and shades, happily basking away in the much needed rays and injection of vitamin D.

Other exciting things on the horizon:

+ My birthday
+ Some beautiful blog collaborations
+ Sydney visit and some Sydney blogger love
+ Another trip to travel favourite JAPAN!

I'm wearing
Shorts & tank, MADLOVE
Shades, MINK PINK MARKET HQ
Ankle boots, TONY BIANCO

BIKER BOOTS

Dear friends,

Anyone who's been following me on TWITTER or instagram would know that i've gone a bit crazy over all things biker boots lately.

In fact, my last three shoe purchases have been of the most perfect ankle boots via my favourites TONY BIANCO and FREE PEOPLE. Can't wait to show you!

Current Cravings: Alexander Wang

Despite the fact that Alexander Wang happens to be one of my favorite designers, I still don't own any item from his collections. Even though the prices seem quite reasonable given the quality of the pieces and the timelessness of their designs, I always fall for cheap stuff from high street, ending up with 10 bags/shoes from Zara or Asos instead of a really high quality designer item.

Anyways, I'm officially starting to save on the Midnight Adriel bag and one of these boots, not sure, which ones, though, they both look gorgeous and super wearable. I've also been drooling over the T by Alexander Wang sweaters and jumpers, they look super cozy and really flattering!

1. Black Leonie boots - $695.00
2. Luca - Espresso Nubuck - $625.00
3. Elephant Stiff Cotton Raglan Zip Sweatshirt - $158.00
4. Midnight Adriel With Rhodium Hardware - $475.00

FESTIVAL FASHION

Dear friends,

My essentials for summer festival fashion fun: denim, sunnies, a sweet loose tank and the perfect carry-all, like this cute bag gifted from LOVEHOLICS.

Off to Japan shortly, which I can't wait for. I've travelled Tokyo before, which was phenomenal, but this time I'm off to explore more of the country as well as sneaking in some snowboarding action. Exciting times!

I'm wearing:
Denim cut-offs, SOMEDAYS LOVIN via MARKET HQ
Lace tank, MINKPINK via MARKET HQ
Sunglasses, ALL ABOUT EVE via SUNBURN
Bag, via LOVEHOLICS

Look of the Day: Suede boots

 

 

 

I've been wearing these Asos boots almost non stop since I received them a couple weeks ago, not only are they super comfy, they also seem to add sort of a laid back touch to any outfit. Also, this New Yorker top is my first take on the whole tribal/aztec hype that's going on all over the bloggies. I definitely love the print, but it looks like I don't have much stuff to match it with.

On another note, I've just taken on a sewing/tailoring course :) I feel like I have this huge DIY potential, but can't seem to start creating clothes being afraid to mess up the fabrics :) Anyways, I hope this course will bring me confidence enough to make stuff I either can't find anywhere or refuse to pay for :)

Have a fun weekend!

I'm wearing:
Top - New Yorker
Jeans - Pull and Bear
Jacket - Zara
Bag - Topshop
Suede Chelsea boots - Asos

PONY EXPRESS

Dear friends,

As with most pieces in my wardrobe, there is a story to this shirt. It is actually the result of a collaboration between two of my favourite, Aussie fashion power-houses: Aussie label SOMEDAYS LOVIN and blogger favourite, ORACLE FOX. Love or what!

On another note, as we inch ever closer to the warmer months, I can't help but start thinking about my next tropical escape. A visit to Thailand; Phuket and Koh Samui to enjoy the sun and surf is looking likely. Whilst Argentina and another visit to Vietnam and Japan are also on my hit-list. So many decisions....

What is your favourite holiday hot-spot?

I'm wearing:
Pony Express shirt, via SOMEDAYS LOVIN
Cut-out trousers, MINKPINK via MARKET HQ
Sunglasses, MINKPINK via MARKET HQ
Cuff, via BEFABYOULOUS.NET
