Rethink

I've worn this shirt many times, but I had never considered the fact that it had a full zip on the back and therefore, could be turned around and become a jacket/cardigan! This opens up so many more layering opportunities, especially for summer since it's lightweight and bright. 

Recreate my look:

Target blouse worn backwards, Finders Keepers crop tank (similar), vintage belt (similar here, here, and here), Francesca's midi skirt (similar), Bacio 6 sandals (similar), purse via Crossroads (similar), Stella & Dot Lakra cuff and wrap bracelet (both on sale), Tokyo Bay watch, Francesca's earrings (similar)

Fill in the Dots

My best friend's daughter, Ffion, and I were coloring in her Hello Kitty coloring book the other day and I found myself having a hard time choosing colors for the clouds, Hello Kitty's bow, and the flowers. Literally, I was getting ajada from a lack of color scheme! When did I lose creativity and imagination? It must have been when I discovered the "never have to think about it" blouse. This blouse, with all colors already included, creates your scheme and all you have to do is match up the shades! Thankyouverymuch.

Find yours here, here, or here.

Something Blue

While I told myself (and my fiance) that I was going to buy these famous blue wedding shoes for our nuptials, I decided on a dress that didn't quite go with 'em. Even though I was going to budget monthly to afford the high price, I'm happy to have some extra bucks to spend on other accessories. But, since that need for something blue was still there, I went with these bow pumps at 1/20th of the cost!

McFly

Despite the fact that I have never watched "Back to the Future" in it's entirety, much to the chagrin of my bf, I like to think that I make up for it by owning a vest that Marty McFly would be proud to don.

Bejeweled

In college, it was Snood, now it's Bejeweled. Who's with me?

His Favorite

For those of you who know him, it's no surprise that my bf is my biggest fan. Every time he looks at me in my daily outfits, he shows a sweet smile and gives me a wink while saying, "You look great, honey." I believe him every time...and you would too. He's incredibly sincere. So when he said that this outfit was his favorite, I knew that was a big deal. You see, my bf pays attention to details, and the fact that I pulled each color of the dots in my shirt to my blazer, watch, shoes, purse, and skirt, was not lost on him. As if he wasn't a keeper already.

Yesterday I wrapped up a full day of filming for a very exciting project, which I hope to be able to share with you soon. Such a great day, touring Melbourne and working with an incredible creative team. Some behind the scenes shots are up on TWITTER and INSTAGRAM.

In between shots, I was able to grab a couple of photos of my latest dream dress via Aussie label, Rodeo Show. Currently obsessing over all things pastel, pink hues, lilac and mint are all topping my shopping list - shoes, dresses, trousers, anything and everything!

VIVA LA SUMMER

Dear friends,

The team at BAKU AUSTRALIA were kind enough to gift me this gorgeous bikini, perfect as we head into another scorching Aussie summer. Ruffles and polka dots, sweet or what!

In the absence of a sound Melbourne beach within the vicinity of the city I'm off to the pool for a quick dip, before a relaxing evening on the marina.

Viva la summer!

POLKA PLAYSUIT PT II

Earlier in the week, I posted my favourite summer-time playsuit: 'POLKA PLAYSUIT PART I, and promised I'd return with a second post, revealing another fabulous way of wearing this one-piece beauty.

I love creating different looks with a wardrobe staple, so here I've simply added a pair of high waisted trousers and heels to my playsuit and voilà - outfit transformed.

What do you think?
