FRIEND IN FASHION | TONI&GUY BLOGGED AND BOUND

After much ado (here) and (here), I am thrilled to present you with the final photos and short film I was involved in for the Toni & Guy Blogged and Bound project.

This amazing creative collaboration first kicked off in March, so I've been eagerly awaiting the final results to share with you.

So what is Blogged and Bound all about? The project pulled together 20 of Australia's most influential fashion bloggers to explore the connection between hair and style through photos and film. Each blogger's photos will appear in a beautifully bound book and the short films, which further explore each bloggers style, inspiration and motivation features on Youtube.

'Classic' was the theme of my photo shoot - which represents one of the four Toni & Guy hair collections featured in the project. Houndstooth twin set and a modern twist on the bee-hive pretty much nails the brief I think. 

Friend in Fashion meets Audrey Hepburn, meets Miss Dior!

Lake Tahoe

Aussie label Minkpink have done it again with this incredible poncho!

I'm definitely a summer girl, but winter does have its perks, and throwing on a comfy poncho, with some boyfriend jeans and boots is definitely one of them.

A short while back, I hinted about a new fashion project that I'm working on, there is still a lot more to come, but in the meantime, you can grab a sneak peak at the style collector on facebook and twitter.

I can't wait to share more with you all soon.

Watch this

Dear friends,

Lately all things retro, from fashion, to photography, to music have taken hold of me and watches are no exception.

I picked this gold beauty up from UK brand Breo, who produce one of the most extensive ranges of time pieces I've seen.

Their colour range is out of this world, but what's best is that this luminex model, cost less than $55 (seriously)!

Digging the 80's vibe, all that's missing is a calculator. Back to the future here I come!

Vintage fever

Dear friends,

Introducing my saviour this winter, this faux fur, 'New Heritics' coat.

Corduroy with fur accents, I'm definitely embracing my inner 70's child, in this snug as a bug coat.

Last week I was kindly invited by Betts to kick off their new blogger project '5 Ways to Wear'. I was asked to style one pair of shoes, you guess it, 5 different ways. My choice was the western inspired Taree boot. You can check out my looks and interview here.

She wears short shorts

During the warmer months, I love layering neutrals on neutrals.

These gorgeous shorts, picked up from my latest online shopping crush MIISHKA add the perfect splash of colour.

I'm hoping to sneak in a few more sunny Melbourne days, before summer passes and I'm forced to retire my collection of pretty dresses, shorts and sandals.

Friend O Mine

Last time I engaged in anything close to proper biking, was a high school sports carnival where I 'rode' into a tree, hopped back on the 'rode' into my teacher!

Needless to say, when the other half suggested bikes, I was a bit apprehensive. That is until I set eyes upon, my latest two wheel purchase - this gorgeous 'bondi blue' vintage inspired Dutchie, mandatory cane basket included.

Since arriving last week, I've taken to my new ride like a duck to water. Turns out, two wheels are a fantastic way to cruise around Melbourne.

I bought this bike, along with another, which I customised myself from Melbourne-based bike enthusiasts: Mojo Bike.

I'm wearing:
Dress: 'Friend O Mine' Fabled & True
Shoes: Mimco, also seen here
Glasses: Markets, Tokyo

Tokyo

Absolutely head over heels for Tokyo!

I've spent the better part of this week exploring the incredible sights, sounds and fashion this amazing city has on offer.

It's all I hoped for and more. Copious amounts of fresh sushi, a never ending supply of neon, beautiful manicured gardens, Harajuku girls, and fabulous shopping on every street.

Already planning my next visit.
