Crazy for stripes

It’s now less than two weeks left for me here in Vietnam. Next on the itinerary, back home to a cold, wintery Australia for one week, before heading off again with my sights set on Europe.

As I start to pack my suitcase, I’m noticing just how many striped shirts, skirts and dresses I own, so I’d thought I’d play around with my latest striped dress purchase, by styling with, yep you guessed it, more stripes!

I’m wearing:
Dress: Markets, Hanoi
Blazer: Zara
Boots: Charlotte Russe

P.S. Thanks to the super gorgeous Liv, of lovers in vain for sending through my Grazia Magazine feature. I was also thrilled to be announced as Weardrobe's spotlight blogger of the day.

Luv thy trouser

It’s official, I have an unhealthy obsession with these trousers!

I purchased these a couple of months ago, from Urban Outfitters whilst touring the United States and have gotten so much wear out of them.

Whether worn dressed up, with a blazer (Up town girl, seen here) or dressed down with a tank top and fedora (Copacabana, seen here), the cut and colour is so versatile.

These trousers have quickly become a travelling wardrobe staple of mine. What is your can’t-live-without wardrobe essential?

I’m wearing:
Trousers – Urban Outfitters
Tank – ‘borrowed’ from my fiancé
Shoes – Charlotte Russe
Belt – Markets, Hanoi

P.S. I was thrilled beyond words to hear that I made an appearance in this month’s Grazia Magazine! Unfortunately no Grazia for me here in Vietnam, so if any Aussie readers have a scanned copy, I'd love a sneak peak.

Oversize me - the shirt dress

I love a good sale, and it’s made even better when the proceeds go to charity.

On Friday, I picked up this oversized, mens silk shirt from a charity flea market, hosted by my fiancé’s work, along with a treasure trove of other goodies.

I’m off to Ho Chi Minh City on Wednesday and I am really looking forward to scouring the Ben Than markets for some great accessories, shoes and handbags. The last time I visited, I walked away with some beautifully crafted leather handbags, so I’m more than excited about what I might find this time round.

Next post I’ll be announcing Friend in Fashion’s third fashion giveaway, so be sure to stay tuned. As a hint for those who can’t wait: Polyvorers will love this!

I’m wearing:
Shirt – vintage
Shoes – Charlotte Russe
Vintage pendant - (Markets, Brooklyn New York)
Belt – From my last post (Copacabana)

Happy shopper

I'm definitely starting to miss thrifting of late, but nonetheless, Vietnam has some brilliant shopping of its own. Sure there is plenty of your faux designer fashion, but if you know where to look you can pick up some gorgeous pieces at a fantastic price.

I picked up this pretty little number in a small, hidden boutique in the Old Quarter for around $15. I love the vintage feel of the print, and the cut is what you would expect from a piece 10 times the price.

This week I'm looking forward to catching up with a great friend of mine, who I've known since primary school. Although I'm having an amazing time travelling, its always nice to have friends and family visit - can't wait!

I'm wearing:
DIY necklace
Dress, Wanby (Vietnam)
Boots, Charlotte Russe
