It's quite depressing being bombarded with check ins at the International Airport or any background that don't consist of rain pop up on facebook. But wait, I will be that annoying person in 2 weeks!! I will check in at the Melbourne International Airport, I will be posting a photo of the beach backdrop, I will indulge the sunrays alongside the pool with a cocktail or 5.


I'm a sucker for jumpsuits, but I have a whole new love for structured jumpsuits. I love the neck detailing of this jumpsuit, Cameo never miss a beat, always paying attention to every detail. This jumpsuit is perfect for a family do or even a few drinks out, you can even belt it.

The Birdcage Boutique - Cameo Overload Pantsuit $134.95

Dirty denim jackets yummy! When I say dirty, I don't mean it's been worn by a murderer and you find blood spots on it at the Salvos. I mean washed out denim, it just adds character to the outfit. Wear these with patterns pants, or a baggy dress and tights.

The Birdcage Boutique - Finders Keepers Speak To Me Jacket $109.95

 You know it's not my blog without a mention of asymmetrical. This skirt differs from the others because of the fabric. It displays scuba-like fabric with an asymmetrical cut-out hemline. Let's go swimming!!!!!

Today is the first of the July but more importantly today embarks half way through winter YUPPIE! Jump on the treadmill, sit outside for 10 minutes a day and you'll be one step closer to looking like Miranda Kerr on a bad day!

Have I stressed colour this winter?! Well I'm going to say it again, COLOUR. Don't look like everyone else alarmed in dark colours, slap on some tinted moisturizer and you'll be fine to rock out colours. This dress is perfect for that, this gives you radiance. Although simplistic, the structured shoulders make this more edgy.

Stelly - Pine Ice Pop Dress $49.95

I don't think I have mentioned floral lately, pffts who am I kidding?! Floral, what more can you ask for? How about mirrored floral?! This emulate is beautifully designed and will look great this winter, espeically with vibrant colours (there it is again).

Asos - Mirror Floral Dress $78

 Tee this vibrant floral blouse with jeans and boots this winter. 

Asos - Blouse with drop collar in bird in the bush print $38

Don't be turned off by tweed. Flap over layers are great to cover your bad spots.

Mossman - Planning A Departure Skirt $69.95

If you haven't heard of this brand yet, do me a favour and look up Kitty Grace. A talented Perth designer constructs garments with sophistication yet seduction. This dress exposes the shoulders, highlighting the most sexy part of a women's body, the collarbone. Also if you don't know yet you will now, another favourite style of mine is molded cups and this just rocks two birds with one stone. The colour as well just pops.

JadeEmily - Kitty Grace Bite The Beat $86.7

Another Kitty Grace dress that I had to include.

Wild Child Style Lab - Kitty Grace Like Honey Dress $174

 WE ARE HANDSOME have assembled art using different colour spectrums. If you couldn't afford it then, you can now! The original and what made them famous is half the price!



JadeEmily - We Are Handsome The King Scoop One piece $125

Need a LBD dress with class? Look no further, well I didn't I had to have this. Back split and daring front cutout neckline is exactly what I was missing in my wardrobe.

Mossman - A Stark Reminder Dress - $104

 

Fur is like milk in my fridge, a necessity! Mossman answered my prayers therefore I do not have to sin. This mini skirt has a front panel of pony hair fabric, a faux leather waistband and a textured black fabric on the front and back. Need I convince you more?! 

Mossman - Show Pony Skirt $169.95

Need a cute dress for a holiday or even drinks away from home?! This dress is flirty and again highlights subtle floral in the design.

JadeEmily - Black & White Garden Dress $45.5

Sheike in sheer Melbourne

The best news I have heard today would have to be learning that my favourite brand Sheike (originated from Sydney) has finally decided they should be in Australia's fashion capital city. Not only will it be available at Melbourne Central but for all my gals in my hood we can now drive 10 minutes away to our local Highpoint centre and play dress ups.

I will probably request for a Sheike Credit Card (or insist they introduce this for me as I will be their most regular customer.)

Although I am stoked the brand is now easily accessible a selfish part of me doesn't want it to come to Melbourne because I don't want to see every 16 year old going on 25 wearing my polyester dress. (just like with Sass & Bide) and also that was my excuse for trips to Sydney.



See you daily in August.



Here are some of the examples of this brand and my tan wahhh.

Sydney trip to my baby

both dresses

skirt and belt on the right

Dress on the right - haven't worn because I need an occasiom to wear it - the races perhaps?!

Enjoy the current lookbook on Sheike.  xx

Monday Mixes

Just another week of winter in Melbourne and another week of throwing cold water onto my car to dissolve the icebergs mounted daily. Yes I will complain weekly about the weather until I reach Summer (2 months, unlucky ha? But in fact just 3 more weeks and then Hawaii will save me a spot on the beach, Aloha!)

Missed out on the real thing? Why not fake it with this lookalike Finders Keepers 'By The Way' dress. This is just pocket money so no need to ah and ah about it.

Stelly - Lemon Crisp Tart Dress $58.95

Get bold this winter with this orange skirt with a two layer finish. Tee it up with tights and ankle boots and you now have a skirt that is wearable for more than one month.

Stelly - Grapefruit Ice Pops Skirt $39.95

Another week, another asymmetrical skirt. I love white, embrace the design and the colour.

Lucy in the Sky - Ahead of Them All Skirt $39

 If $140 plus shipping for Jeffery Campbell's doesn't do your budget then opt for these babies. Who would know the difference?!

Lucy in the Sky - Clear the air heel $69

 

I love the contrast of detailing of this peplum top. This will work great with a pair of jeans.

 

 

Asos - Traffic People Pleplum Shirt in Barbed Wire print $61

Raglan shoulders and a large button-keyhole detail, how much edgier can you get with this price point?!

Asos - Crop Top With Open Back and Batwing $56

 Basics with the twist always my favourite. Adding studs on the shoulders is raw and adds funk to an everyday outfit. 

Asos - Body with Extreme Stud Shoulder $49

How stylish is this top. It's the pointed collar that displays a  metal plate detail, finished with sheer contrast cuff sleeves with sheer back. Great for introducing colour to winter.

Shilla - Young Print and Contrast Shirt $40

Running out of white shirts to wear to work? Add a print to your wardrobe and while you're at it, try leopard. It's adventurous yet classic for any hours of the day. Wear a cami underneath for office hour and change it to just a bra for clock off.

Shilla - Believers Leopard Chiffon Shirt $39.50

Maybe I'm getting too excited for my trip. But this is just perfect for a warmer day. So breezy and lightweight especially the short dress with the sheer overlay arghhhhhh die! I'd love to wear this eating lunch by the beach with a floppy hat mmm Rachel Zoe style. (overdreamer I know)

Missguided - Jennet Monochrome Chiffon Maxi Dress $52

Enjoy xx
