Monday Mixes

I feel like we are moving back on seasons where I'm finding myself searching deep under my car seat for that umbrella. Let's forget about today and focus on what the current trends and must haves are this FANTASTIC season!




Yes it's a colour blocking number. The colour choices symbolise the warmer season. With a bit of bronze this will be a stand out at any occasion.




Lucy In The Sky - By Your Side Dress $49





I love the detailing of this skirt. It screams summer! The colour scheme, the floral design and the structure ticks all my boxes.


Lucy In The Sky - Want It Now Skirt $39




You know how I feel about deep v cut out designs but only if you sport a small bust (I don't know if that's a good thing or not). The gold plates oozes sex appeal.
Asos - Midi Pencil Dress With Bust Plates $117

Moreover, the sky blue and structure of this top is versatile for the office or a drink out.
Lookbook Boutique - White Suede Crepe Sculpture Top Pale Blue $69
If you cannot afford the real thing, then fake it, I say. This jacket reminds me of the aesthetic of Sass & Bide and fraction of the price. This is great as a lightweight jacket for this season.
Sheike - Rebellion Jacket $149
 One of the reasons why I love Sheike is the structure designs they depict in most of their dressy garments. This one is no exception, the cup outline and peplum style creates femininity and underlines chic and therefore I had no choice but to make this purchase.
Sheike - Amazed Bustier $109.95
 For the next month you cannot predict what Melbourne will throw at you. So don't hide your boots yet better yet these boots would suit the warmer days with a mini skirt. Loathing over the metal heel, tick tick!
Pretty Little Thing - Alexa Black PU Leather Chelsea Boots $57


 Most brands are introducing the sandal into their collection and when there are so many different styles to choose from, which do you choose??! That's why I had to buy two! I opted for colour blocking as well because it allows more versatility with my outfits. These shoes spoke to me, and left me with no other choice or money in that case!!
Tony Bianco - Minogue Grey Xenon $159.95

This Sleeveless lace dress featuring a round front neckline and wait for a it. . . . . . a low scooped back neckline marks the colour trend and pattern for this season. This is great with a gold metallic waist belt.

Mint Boutique - Ladakh Farrow Lace Dress $109.95
Bec & Bridge are outdoing themselves once again. I can't keep up, although this skirt is now considered old, I have only yet to discover more more of their sought out pattern choices and designs. Summer come at me!!
This two length skirt is stunning with a crop or even a singlet tucked in. Don't shy away from colour with this outfit. There is so much you can do with it so let's play dress ups!

StyleMilk Shop - Bec & Bridge Ikebana Denim Skirt $180

Click Clog Clack

Are you tired of there being nothing original in fast fashion and the frequent statement by our mothers 'I use to wear that back in the day'??! Well clogs are no exception. They are back and they are wack!

I love the relaxed style paired with jeans. Yes you can wear clogs outside your house. Only the 2013 styles, anything older and I mean the 'cover toe' that Pinocchio wears, should be kept for the gardening!

Here are a few of my picks.

Windsor Smith - Jump $99.95
The Iconic - Spurr Camelot Clog Heels $49.95


Top Shop - NELSON Chunky 2 Part Sandals $~100


Styletrend - Lipstick Sold Black $69.95
Lipstick - Maywest $59.95



Enjoy xx

Monday Mixes

I must of jinxed myself because this week I am still wearing flannelettes and my partner's massive jumper to bed. Why is the weatherman teasing me?!!! I'm fortunate enough to visit sunny Queensland this weekend and hopefully bring home the weather.



Yes it's a floral number. Jump on board this spring for colours and prints.

Shilla - Surface Floral & Stripe Mix Tee Dress $89.95



Incorporate lace in your outfits. I like how this number is simplistic yet sill elegant.
Shilla - Glory Lace & Mesh Mini Dress $119.95



As all gen Y know, instagram is a great marketing source and I found this top through this channel. I loved the cut out shoulders and how it can be styled tucked in, or relaxed on jeans.

ASOS - Cami With Cold Shoulder Ruffle In Geo Print $50.74


How flattering is this print? This high waisted number is great for any occasion. Either pair it up with wedges or strappy shoes.
ASOS - Skirt In Abstract Print With Fluro Binding $63.42
 A bit Finders Keepers inspired, this top is perfect with a white skirt or shorts. The soft chiffon draping is my favourite.
Miss Guided - Nemy Chiffon Drape Tulip Top In Dusky Pink $28

 You all are well aware of my lust for plunge necklace and this dress is no different. If it's not the plunge effect, it's the lace but assembling these elements with exposed zips adds edginess to a classic number.
Missguided - Marjani Zip Detail Lace Dress In Black $67

The print of the dress is striking for a night out.
Pretty Little Thing - Azami Print Midi Dress $36

I am loathing over a crop and high waisted tight skirt, I believe if you got what mama gave you then flaunt it. This is something I would definitely be seen in, the print once again stands out.




Pretty Little Thing - Phiala Checked Illusion Midi Skirt $45


Cap sleeves are flattering, so why not add a pattern and a mesh v front insert and the overall effect is stunning!
Stelly - Caramel Dessert Muffin Dress $45.95


 Relax in this loose fit top with jeans and wedges.
Stelly - Passionfruit Berry Tart Top $39.95

Spring is upon us, let me take a moment while I do the happy dance. Oh that's right it's 26 degrees in the next two days, when I am hidden indoors like a shoebox. Lucky for lunch breaks, they say gradual tan is best, right?!

Finally I can dedicate this whole story on spring clothing!!

This top is definitely great with a high waisted short, From the structure to the print, this top had to be mine.

The Fashion Bunker - Cameo The Mystery Top $109
A mirror print is a must have this season. Why not step away from the basics and experiment with a print that allows you to mix and match accessories?!
Asos - PETITE Exclusive Bodycon Dress in Mirror Print $34
I enjoy a loose fit jumpsuit. You don't need to constantly readjust, you can feel relaxed. Don't forget the deep open neckline, you better believe it.

What did I say about prints?? It's here, embrace the colours as this chic mini shift dress embodies everything about this weather we have been having lately.

I'll let the shoe do the talking.

This is the last week of the chills, of the flus and fighting the ice formulated on my car windows. Be happy, go shopping and update your wardrobe. Invest your money on the coming trends. Tax money now please!!!



I'm starting with a bang. I don't know what everyone was doing Friday night, but I was casually on my instagram catching up on the news in the world, obviously not fanatic enough to realise this dress was such a hit. I missed out on the pre-order from Esther boutique but I will not give up. I am determined to find out what other stockists will be fortunate enough to get their hands on this baby. If you know please hit a sister up, if not I'll inform you I'm sure.


Esther Boutique - Finders Keepers nightlight bodice dress $129.95
Now for showing some leg season. Yes September is upon us which means kick off those boots and chuck on those wedges and embrace the sunshine. Pair these with a black top.
Lucy In the Sky - You're My Paradise Shorts $39


 The back of this top sold me.
ASOS - Cami with Embellished Dome $50



This cropped top with pleat and slit back detail will definitely be left to flatter. Perfect with jeans.

 A Pant that distracts your hips and bum, yes please. A Relaxed fit will fixate this problem and make you feel amazing.

 This jumpsuit is effortless chic. The simplistic of this jumpsuit is great for any occasion. Wear a banging belt and some nice strappy shoes and that's a great spring outfit. Oh did I mention the split back, ohhh yes?!
Asos - Jumpsuit with Chic Racer Detail $81

 Mint and "wetsuit " Neoprene material, the perfect combination. I love a textured short and teamed up with a white sheer top, how appropriate for the warmer days!!

Monday Mixes

Just when I thought I had enough peplum garments to outbid Kim Kardashian, I sourced online and fell in love all over again. Not only is peplum resurging the market but glomesh is making a come back. Why did Mum throw out her goods, vintage is huge and definitely cheaper!

This structured peplum top is definitely a piece needed for Spring/Summer. Just pair with skinny leather pants and let the top do the talking.

Premonition Designs - Aphrodite Peplum Top $119.95
This is a relaxed peplum detail top with the peplum waist being sheer but don't worry you won't see any skin because you will tee this up with white skinny jeans or high waisted shorts. Even the colour oozes warmth.
May The Label - May Ambassador Top $89



I'm usually not seen in maxi skirts but if they are beautiful prints, it is hard to resist. This skirt by Witchery emphasises femininity with a sexy split on the side.

Witchery - Single Split Maxi Skirt $99.95
 A cute dress for the warmer days. Style it with ankle boots or gladiator sandals.
Nasty Gal - Sunflower Lace Dress $148
Get comfy in an oversized black tee featuring a boat neckline with cutout shoulders. Lay over jeans and this is a great lazy Sunday look.
Nasty Gal - Cheap Monday Dark Days Cutout Tee $43
 You  just don't know what season you will get in a day of Melbourne. It's best to be prepared all year round with this lightweight anorak.
Nasty Gal - Sweet Moss Anorak $94

Why not channel your "Nichole Ritche" bohemian inner self with this square-cut kimono style featuring two contrasting black and ivory check prints.



Lulus - The Peacenik Black and Ivory Print Kimono Jacket $41
 
Yes Sheike opened in Melbourne and Yes I did check it out and Yes I did make a purchase. One of those purchases included this stunning crepe finish long sleeve peplum top with a plunging V back, finished with a gold chain detail.
 

 


 
Another open back number. Wear this with a cameo and jeans. Catch on to the lace trend.
Last Backless post I swear. Bec & Bridge had a quiet collection last season but they found their inspiration and they are back on top. The Ikebana print is stimulating, captivating a high, halter-style neckline. Summer  hurry up!!
