VINTAGE FLORAL

Dear friends,

Ever have one of those weeks?

Absolutely flat out from my end, but I can't (and won't) complain. The festive season brings some great parties, the perfect excuse to spend extra time with family and friends and of course holidays, which means not long until my Ski holiday in Japan! Can't wait!

This near perfect vintage floral print is actually a dress (worn as a vest) picked up from my favourite Canadian vintage store SHOPPALU. Gorgeous or what!

I'm wearing:
Vintage dress, via SHOPPALU
Denim cut-offs, via LITTLE LEFT OF CENTRE
Sunglasses + Shirt, Mink Pink MARKET HQ
Biker boots, via TONY BIANCO

Luv,

Colour pop

Spring has sprung here in Australia, and nothing makes me happier than bold, beautiful colours, which can be seen starting to creep out from under Melbourne's infamous black cloak.

I'm most definitely a spring/summer girl, so you can expect to see a lot more pretty dresses, sunshine and of course colour!

I'm wearing:
Dress, Motel, via Market HQ
Vintage cardigan
OPI nail colour: on the same paige

Vintage bows

Dear friends,

What's not to love about bows!

This outfit combines my love of not only pretty bows, but also vintage dresses!

The suede-like aqua blue skirt is lovely to the touch, and colour splashed blouse is true vintage perfection wouldn't you agree.

Bow belt, via Bicyclette Boutique
Wedge heels, Zara (London)

Vintage fever

Dear friends,

Introducing my saviour this winter, this faux fur, 'New Heritics' coat.

Corduroy with fur accents, I'm definitely embracing my inner 70's child, in this snug as a bug coat.

Last week I was kindly invited by Betts to kick off their new blogger project '5 Ways to Wear'. I was asked to style one pair of shoes, you guess it, 5 different ways. My choice was the western inspired Taree boot. You can check out my looks and interview here.

I'm wearing:
Coat, Evil Twin, via Material Attention
Vintage boots, also seen here (Wild Flower)
Vintage dress
Vintage belt

Luv,

Boyfriend jeans

Twitter followers would have already had a sneak peak at my latest purchases – these perfectly distressed jeans and gorgeous wool hat.

For me, the boyfriend jean is the perfect every-day denim option and these Billabong beauties, with colour-blocked detailing work a treat.

On a side note, I’m sad to say, that summer has well and truly passed here in Australia, with the Melbourne chill in full force.

Whilst I’m extremely envious of my friends in the northern hemisphere, who are gearing up for the warmer months, I’ve got a great excuse for a new winter wardrobe.

Cosy knits, more hats and riding boots are all on my list.
What winter fashions are you looking forward to most this season?

I’m wearing:
Boyfriend Jeans, Jeans, via Westfield online
Hat, Forever New
Blouse, vintage
Belt, vintage
Shoes, Charlotte Russe

Fun in the sun

If you've been following my adventures on twitter, you would already know that, (much to my disappointment) there hasn't been much of a summer at all in Melbourne.

The other day however, I managed to catch a glimpse of the sun I've so been missing. Jumped on my bike and headed straight to the beach.

Melbourne Fashion Festival is coming up soon and the next few weeks are filled with lots of fashion fun! Can't wait to share all the action with you!

I'm wearing:
Shorts, vintage
Knit, Minkpink via Market HQ
