It was inevitable for me to shoot another peplum top, I like to think these were especially designed for what I like to call 'curves or curvy impaired' Previous post of peplumness here.

I tend to mix looks by teaming contrasting styles together. So my top is very lady like and demure, whereas my pants are like whoaaa, daring, sheer legs! I love pairing opposing combos together to give your outfit that needed 'thing' or to amp up the edge factor. Items to guarantee edge? Power shoulder blazers, clashing prints, biker boots, a strong featured texture/embellishment or pretty much anything in black leather!

Finishing off the look with a rose gold collar and PVC windowed pumps I'm good to go! It was very windy when we shot this so I could've easily worn black stockings underneath to tone it down a notch, yet enough to still retain that edge factor.

My Give Away ends tomorrow! Shy entries (the majority) are most welcome via email! :)

flower power by gemme-sorbet featuring a mini skirt

Floral print always feels so fresh and fun to wear and it worked so well against the backdrop of Hyde Park.

This outfit is very easy and comfortable, so much so it felt like I was walking around in silk pj's with heels. Please note, I do not condone this kind of behaviour ;)

Above is a quick set I put together showcasing some gorgeous floral arranged pieces that I have my eye on. What's great about this trend is that you can mix and match colours and prints as well as pair with neutrals. You basically can't escape floral at the moment, it's been especially popular in  trousers, like my post here.

Don't forget my Giveaway is still open! (To enter click here). I have been receiving some great responses but only through email so far. I really wish I could show you some of the creative entries I am receiving so please don't be shy to post publicly, you may just inspire someone!

Give-Away time!

Gemme Sorbet is just past its 6 month Birthday, so I thought to celebrate I will host my FIRST give away! I've teamed up with High Street UK brand Warehouse who have launched their Australian online store featuring their gorgeous new collection! Expect some classic, cool, fun and feminine pieces ladies!

This sequined, magenta/ hot pink number is from their 'Special Occasion' collection but I decided to dress it down for a day look. Keeping in theme with Spring/ Summer I went a bit crazy with the accessories with accenting neon and fluro colours and chucked on a blue denim jacket - which is always the easiest piece to style with when I'm not feeling super girly. But of course I've ended up a walking contradiction once again by finishing the look off with hot pink and baby blue Malibu Barbie-esque wedges!


I will be giving this dress away (brand new) to ONE lucky reader! See how you can enter below, I've made it very easy to enter.
