SHADES OF GREEN | #COLOURSOFTHESTRANDMELBOURNE

Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of shopping up at storm at one of my favourite Melbourne shopping destination - The Strand Melbourne, to celebrate an exciting new giveaway just for YOU... 

The Strand Melbourne are celebrating all things colourful and are welcoming you to partake in their inaugural photography competition - #coloursofthestrandmelbourne.

From July to September, The Strand Melbourne will be giving away a fabulous, colourful collection of luxury fashion and featured accessories, each month, from their shops including Acne, Funkis and Gorman, and all inspired by one key colour.

First up (you guessed it), the colour is green, which is where I take inspiration for this outfit (all sourced from The Strand Melbourne, naturally). Now here's the exciting part!

For your chance to win, simply snap a picture in July featuring the colour green (it could be an outfit, or a location, or your favourite food - the sky's the limit) and upload it to [www.thestrandmelbourne.com.au].

Enter as many times as you like, and best of all, your photos will be housed in a digital gallery on The Strand Melbourne’s website.

Happy snapping!

THE CITY

When I was last in New York, during Fashion Week, I met two incredibly beautiful and talented people, Iyan Difuntorum (one of the best stylists I've been fortunate enough to meet) and Jessie Obialor (a fantastic photographer).

We met on a New York rooftop - the Empire for memory, and instantly hit it off.

It wasn't long into our meeting that we decided to team up to shoot around the inspiring city streets of New York.

Here is the first instalment of our collaboration.

ACNE

Acne is always my go-to for the perfect wardrobe basics.

I found this sweater while shopping online, which, with its oversized cocoon shape is a little avant-garde, but definitely a piece I had to have.

I generally steer away from oversized styles, as I tend to down in them a little, but this one was just too special to resist.

STOCKHOLM STREET STYLE

ACNE dress, Balenciaga heels 

Summer in Stockholm, has meant, small bursts of sunshine, but mainly cloudy skies and cooler weather - very different to my last few months of Island living across Croatia and Greece.

The benefit of this - an excuse for more shopping (not that I ever struggle with this).

ACNE is probably one of Sweden's biggest fashion exports, so I couldn't pass up on this perfect trans-seasonal ACNE sweater dress, when I hit the shops in Stockholm. The perfect pairing for my Balenciaga heels.

From Stockholm, I'm off to Oslo for a few days, before some rest and relaxation in my beloved Paris - oui oui!

FACE OF BONBONS

The wait is over!

I'm absolutely thrilled to share with you, the new face of Aussie shoe brand, BonBons - yours truly!

A short while ago, I was fortunate enough to be a part of what can only be described as a dream team of creatives, to shoot the BonBons A/W campaign.

I could literally go on all day about how I loved working with each and every person on the team, but my words wouldn't do me or them any justice, plus I think the pictures speak for themselves.

An amazing day, an amazing opportunity and amazing results - I can't help but pinch myself.

All the shoes featured here (and more) can be found online at BonBons brand new website: www.bonbons.com.au

Love and many warm thanks to BonBons and the creative team:

METALLICS

In similar vain to my last outfit post, at the moment, I'm really loving taking a monochrome wardrobe and injecting accessories to dress it up. This time metallics have captured my imagination - with toe-capped shoes and another perfect Fiel Sol statement necklace.

If you love Fiel Sol designs as much as I do, make sure you follow them up on instagram (@fielsol) - they are currently giving their fans a chance to win one of their beautiful necklaces. 

Good luck.
