DOMAINE CHANDON SECRET GARDEN PARTY

White Suede dress / Aldo heels / Chanel clutch

Yesterday, my husband and I had the pleasure of attending Domaine Chandon's Secret Garden Party, in the picturesque Yarra Valley.

The picture perfect afternoon was spent enjoying Chandon’s finest vintages, delicious culinary treats (of which included these very pretty 'edible pot-plants'), the beautiful voice of Clare Bowditch and of course some garden twister, croquet and chess.

A scene taken straight from The Great Gatsby.

A big thank you to Domaine Chandon and Undertow Media for such a stunning afternoon.

FINDERS KEEPERS

Prints, florals, pastels. This dress, from Aussie label, Finders Keepers is an all round winner.

As someone who loves fashion, it's always fun to layer and experiment with over-styling an outfit, but sometimes, a pretty dress and heels is all that's required.

MANNING CARTELL - PARTY DRESS

Manning Cartell 'bed of bergonias dress' / Arm cuffs via Back Stage

It's official - this exclusive Manning Cartell pencil dress is THE party dress for upcoming New Years Eve celebrations.

In-fact, this dress would be perfect for any celebration at all.

The cut, with bustier detailing is ultra-feminine and the beautiful digital floral print, thigh high split and apricot trim is too perfect for words.

Glamour to a tee.

Young or old

I'm currently embracing florals and sandals with all my heart, because I know they're going be packed away to the back of my closet in about a week when it gets cold and rainy. I bought this dress a year ago, and this is the first time I've worn it. I don't feel so bad about that, because it only cost me a couple bucks, but I still don't like letting my clothes sit around unworn. But this dress is so dang girly. I just didn't know how to wear it. It's comfortable, and the print makes me happy, but I can't decide if this dress feels too young for me. I hate that I've reached an age where I sometimes look at a piece of clothing and wonder if it will make me look too young. (Obviously that didn't stop me from wearing it, though!)
