Light and bright is my go to for summer dress up fun. BUT WAIT I’ve mixed girly fun with an unexpected twist – leather!! Oh yes, my mini is in fact white leather!! Who would have thought the 80’s retro favourite could make such a chic and edgy come back!

Aussie label Kirsty Irwin nailed my style into one fab maxi skirt. White leather, thigh high split and sheer panels… whoa I feel like she knows me.

My literally airy and breezy singlet by another Aussie label Soot the Label, complemented my light and bright theme. Feminine, bright and versatility rolled into one!

Does something seem familiar here though? If you’re a regular reader you may recognise these candy popping Novo wedges and I also wore these in this same exact location here. Completely unintentional but the ferns and wilted birds of paradise were calling me my name!

triple swirl

Who loved Triple Swirls growing up! I instantly thought of the delightful summer ice cream as soon as I saw these silk graphic pants with its flurry of pretty pinks and purples. Even more so when we stumbled across this amazing graffiti art with its gradient of sunset shaded swirls.

This Staple the Label number is so fun and summery, perfect for any festive celebrations coming up. My high shine Nine West disco heels takes me straight into party mode and works perfectly against the bright shades. Paper bags style pants work perfectly with a form fitting or cropped top, this magenta racer style singlet is totally fitting with this strawberry chuppa chup lollypop look I'm going for- complete with my giant chuppa chup bun head. My boyfriend loves to call me this whenever I wear my hair like this, ahh which is quite regularly.

I use my old ‘horse tail’ pony tail extensions to create an extra-large bun like this. So if you’re like me and spent your childhood and adolescence performing in eisteddfods then maybe you too will have (5) hair pieces lying around, so even though the horse tail high pony tail look has died and will never resurface, keep them and we can all be chuppa chup heads together!!

Hmm do I always relate my looks to confectionary items?

jacaranda trees

Did I mention that I love floral print? Pretty sure you would know by now! Especially paired with my iridescent white shirt. Don’t think the camera quite picks it up but it’s a great feminine fun twist on a tailored white button down.

The purples and greys perfectly complements Spring’s Jacaranda trees. These delicate blossoms literally covered every car and was flooded in this Surry Hills back alley. A dream shot of mine was to create a shower of flowers as they descend defocused in the background. Many attempts of poking and prodding the branches took place with a failed result of a few measly flowers falling out. But hey we tried, I’m sure plenty more opportunities of creating a dream scenic moment will come up, flowers and floral print included.

suit up!

So I haven't been blogging for very long but I already have an overflowing amount of different floral folders saved on my hard drive. I can't get enough of it, I don't know what it is but I've been drawn like a magnet to any kind of rose, lilly, petunia, tulip the whole garden!

My posts are of course my style but I like to think that my readers can interpret fashion the way they want to. A floral suit definitely isn't within everyone's taste but it can easily be worn as separates. Team floral pants printed pants with a floaty pastel blouse or a floral blazer with your favourite skinnies and bright pumps! As my usual safe road, I stuck to neutral toned accessories to let my garden palette pop against the fresh summer whites.

Here's to another first, wearing a hybrid kimono/tuxedo shirt! This amazing silk shirt by 3.1 Phillp Lim took me straight into Oriental nuances paired with masculine style vibes.

With a golden accents in the form of little wishbone and lucky horse shoe by Recreational Studio, and effortlessly elegant Novo heels my culture clashing ensemble is complete who knew bib panels and extra long cuffs could look so damn cool!

take the plunge

Mmm silk jumpsuit! This is my second post featuring Story by Tang and its safe to say I'm now a big fan! Never ever before have I worn a low back or a plunging neckline. But hey I don't have my legs out so I'm balancing out the sexy! So for all my fellow flat chested ladies who think they can't pull off a plunging neckline I hope I inspire you to be bold too!

Defined waist, red wine lips, orange pop and zebra print oversized envelope... these are the few of my favourite things!

So refreshing to wear light colours, I always feel so fresh (and so clean) when I'm wearing white! It can be a bit daunting to wear white but this gorgeous two piece worked in perfectly for Spring with its splashes of delicate blossoms in floral bright hues.

The execution of these effeminate layers and peplum pleats works a treat in creating bold yet subtle definition, shape and movement. Not to mention my strong shoulder blazer with cut out accents to bring the whole look together when the wind hits!

As I've always said you can never go wrong with minimal/ nude accessories and I'd like to think that it looks like I have Barbie feet with her permanent arch made for her stiletto's because my shoes are so damn nude and invisibly perfect love love love them! I'll just have to wear these with everything..
