THE DESIGNER GIFT GUIDE


‘Tis the season is almost upon us, so I wanted to share with you my ultimate gift guide of designer goodies from Farfetch...


Dior, Givenchy, Valentino and Chloe, are always on high rotation as some of my favourite designer options and I’ve hand-picked some of my season must-haves for gift giving this season. 

Whether you’re giving or receiving, when it comes to gift giving, I always opt for quality over quantity. With this in mind, if you’re looking at spoiling yourself this festive season, or want to drop a few helpful hints to your other half, I say stick to one key accessory that you are guaranteed to get wear out of for years to come.


If budget is no option then it’s all about a signature IT bag, or street-snap-worthy statement shoes…or both! Afterall, a girl can never have too many shoes or handbags…right?



When it comes to bags, my first visit is always the designer vintage category. Pick up a pre-loved, rare, Louis Vuitton, or Chanel, or Hermes for something extra, extra special. Or if you prefer something sparkly new, IT-girl-favourite Chloe will definitely turn heads.


From Jimmy Choo to Alexander McQueen, sandals to pumps, there is definitely something for every shoe lover. I often tend to go all out when it comes to my shoe decisions, so more is definitely more. Keep a statement pair of heels simple with a white tee and jeans, or opt for a bold look with a gorgeous cocktail dress.


If you’re on a bit more of a budget, then I’ve handpicked some of my favourite accessories which come in under $250. I think this Moschino belt is an absolute must-have for all fashion lovers, and instantly adds a splash of glam to a simple black dress or pair of shorts. Jewellery is always a fabulous gift, especially when you’re not sure where to start. I opt for fine pieces, which can be mixed and matched easily with existing jewellery. Always a winner.

And there you have it – a few of my fashion favourites. You can shop all thesestyles and more [here]

As Samsonite's Style Ambassador, I thought I'd share what's at the top of my gift list this festive season - you guessed it, new luggage. The perfect travel companion.

On my most recent trip, I spent the last six months travelling across every continent with only one Samsonite suitcase, it was sturdy, pleasant on the eye and most importantly light as a feather - an absolute must when you're jumping between planes, trains, taxis and boats.

Perfect for the wanderlust who has it all, or a gift to yourself if you have the good fortune of kicking off the new year with some travel.

Bon voyage! 

WINTER CHILL

The temperature is dropping, as we quickly approach what's set to be a very chilly Australian winter.  

During the week, I again teamed up with good friend and photographic extraordinaire, Sabine, to capture my latest cosy winter acquisition. 

Away with the sundresses, silk, shorts and shirts, it's now all about chunky knitwear, hats and coats.

If you missed my last post, I'm thrilled to feature in Toni & Guy's latest campaign - Blogged & Bound. You can find out more about the campaign and Friend in Fashion, in the short film created here.

COLOUR BLOCKING PASTELS






Join Friend in Fashion on: BLOGLOVIN ~ FACEBOOK ~ PINTEREST ~ TWITTER

Dear friends,

From Louis Vuitton to 3.1 Phillip Lim, to Prada, pastels and lady-like tailoring have featured heavily on catwalks.

Here is my take on the trend, experimenting by colour blocking pastel hues, as well as texture in these gorgeous THIMBLE shorts.

There is something eternally feminine about pastels, so I'm happy to see more and more designers picking them up.

I'm wearing:
TOMMY HILFIGER button up shirt
STYLESTALKER blazer
THIMBLE waisted shorts
TONY BIANCO sandals
MINKPINK shades

Luv,

SWEET PASTEL






Join Friend in Fashion on: BLOGLOVIN ~ FACEBOOK ~ PINTEREST ~ TWITTER

Dear friends,

Last night, I slipped into this beyond gorgeous dress, via my favourite Melbourne online boutique, GINGERBREAD SHOP, and headed down to the Alex Perry runway show at the Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

The show was characterised, by feminine silhouettes, delicate shoes, perfect pastels and pretty neutrals, which was right up my alley. There is definitely something to be said about lady-like dressing.

Pretty dresses have always been my weakness and this one made me feel like an absolute princess. Pastels, full skirts and metallics, reminds me a lot of Louis Vuitton's, sweet pastel candy campaign!

Tonight I'm off to the In Style runway. Follow me on TWITTER for live updates from the show.

I'm wearing
Dress, via GINGERBREAD SHOP
Heels, TopShop
Bag, Louis Vuitton
