Sheer breeze

Sheer blouses are steadily taking over my wardrobe and just in time for summer! This pretty pink number is my latest addition and is perfect worn as a button up or unbuttoned over dresses & vests.

Battling the Melbourne breeze, I was able to very quickly capture a couple of photos of my very airy outfit.

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

A Pair & A Spare

Dear friends,

The lovely Geneva, of A Pair & a Spare is as beautiful as she is creative, and is by far one of my favourite bloggers!

A short while back, this queen of DIY was kind enough to send over my very own multi-coloured bodycon skirt, which I've had trouble taking off ever since.

Best of all - this gorgeous skirt doubles as the sweetest tube top - double trouble!

If you're a lover DIY, I encourage you to hop on over and pay A Pair & a Spare a visit - you won't be disappointed.

I’m wearing:
Knit, Evil Twin via Market HQ
DIY tube skirt, via A Pair & a Spare
Wedges, Tony Bianco

Babydoll

Dear friends,

Floral prints are always a favourite of mine, especially throughout the winter months, as they add just the perfect splash of colour to dark and dreary days.

The craft

Crushed velvet and knee-high socks, dare I suggest a resurgence in 90's fashion? Either way, this lovely little number has treated me well over the last few chilly weeks in Melbourne.

Also picked up this sweet little ring from my friends over on the West Coast (of Australia), Martini + Coz. Their beautiful range of accessories and handbags are lovingly created for the modern woman with a penchant for vintage chic - a label close to my heart (excuse the pun).

I'm wearing:
Dress, Minkpink, via Market HQ
Socks, Cotton On
Ring, Martini + Coz

P e a c e

Dear friends,

There is nothing quite like being a tourist in your own backyard.

This weekend I hit the road, to explore the beautiful coast-line of my new adopted city. A lovely break with great surf, delicious wine and seafood, spectacular scenery and friendly locals - bliss.

Before I headed off, I received these rings from my friend (and fellow blogger), the lovely Katie of Be Inspired. I've become particularly fond of this very sweet peace ring, which I've been wearing with pretty much everything!

Finally, love, kisses and the warmest wishes to my mother on this mothers day.
An amazing woman and my best friend.

I'm wearing:
Shirt, Minkpink, via Market HQ
Dress, Seafolly, via Sunburn Australia
Rings, via Befabyoulous.net
Tights, Kookai

Golden years

Over the extra long weekend, we were treated to the perfect Autumn sunshine here in Melbourne.

A fabulous time had, indulging in cuisine from all corners of the world, the obligatory boutique hoping and a fierce bocce tournament with great company in the park.

Over the weekend, I was also thrilled to be involved in a blogger collaboration (alongside the beautiful Bianca and Jess), for the summer look-book of fabulous Melbourne-based accessory label Sarah Conners. I can't reveal too much just yet, but think bright colours, scorching summer heat and exotic locations.

A huge thank you to the incredible photographer of the day, Lee Oliveira. If you haven't already, do yourselves a favour and check out Lee's street-style blog, a true talent, you won't be disappointed.
