Tran-seasonal dressing for me is all about shorts and knitwear/sweaters.

Keeping it simple lately, experimenting with a mainly monochrome palette.

STATEMENT PEPLUM

I've decided to continue to embrace all things monochrome. As I've mentioned before, I'm never one to steer clear of colour, but sometimes, change is as good as a holiday right?

Speaking of which, I'm in the midst of planning out another global adventure. The thing with travel is that once you start, it becomes incredibly difficult to stop. I find myself compelled to explore new uncharted territory, whilst at the same time being drawn to my sentimental favourites.

As Bill Bryson puts it perfectly - to my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.

For now it's back to the planning station.

A short while back, the Betts team invited me to style some of their summer styles for their magazine - The Edit.

I'm definitely a summer dresser, so it was a pleasure to take some very pretty, and colourful Betts sandals and heels and team them back with my very colourful wardrobe.

All shoes featured here can be purchased online at the Betts website.

A short while back, I picked up these gorgeous silk printed pants via one of my online favourites, Style Milk. They are the most beautiful, light-weight silk, which make them perfect to wear as the weather heats up, and can be easily dressed up or down.

As we get closer to the festive season, the social calendar is filling up with exciting events to share with you. The real excitement kicks off this Thursday, with a very luxe shopping challenge. Stay tuned to instagram and twitter for all of the updates.

And finally, for the instagram lovers, my friends over at Paint it Red, are giving you the chance to win a $500 wardrobe - check them out over at @likepaintitred for all of the details.

ZULU & ZEPHYR

As the second instalment of Friend in Fashion's 'swim series' (part I here), I thought I'd showcase, one of my favourite new swimwear brands, Zulu & Zephyr - the creators of this adorable high-waisted bikini.

I've long admired high-waisted swimwear, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to pull it off.

To be honest, I've found high-waisted styles much more comfortable and modest than traditional skimpy bikini bottoms, and who can resist the retro throwback.

The bold tropical print, and ruffles are the icing on the cake on this sweet 'palm waisted triangle bikini'

More coming soon.

NEON LACE

Summer time is fast approaching, which means lots and lots more colour to my wardrobe. Neon is always a favourite of mine, and I had a lot of fun teaming neon accessories with this vibrant Shakuhachi lace dress.

Tomorrow, I'm off to explore Daylesford for the first time. I'm so excited and can't wait to test-out the natural springs. As always, you can follow my adventure on instagram (@friendinfashion).

STATE OF GEORGIA

I'm absolutely a dress lover, and my latest wardrobe addition - this incredible print dress, has got to be up there with my growing collection of favourites.

Yesterday, I have the pleasure of teaming up with my favourite summer label, Vamastyle, to shoot a special project. It was a picture perfect sunny day filled with beautiful Vamastyle prints and colour.

Looking forward to sharing the results with you soon. Sneak peeks as always over on twitter and instagram (@friendinfashion)

PATCHWORK DENIM

There is nothing that I love more that a great pair of pyjama pants - and these pretties, combining print and colour, are proving the perfect slouch trouser as we transition into Spring in Melbourne.

Monday I'm off on an impromptu junket of one of my favourite places to visit, Singapore, so I'd love you to tweet, facebook or even instagram any must-sees and dos.

I'm told it is terribly hot at the moment, so back to shorts and sundresses! I think this incredible shirt will also feature as a luggage fixture - so into all things patchwork at the moment!

STEP RIGHT UP

Day to day, I consider myself to be a casual dresser, well mostly. There is nothing that I love more than throwing on a great pair of jeans and a tee.

Mind you, I love dressing up a casual look with some killer accessories, and this Fiel Sol necklace and Michael Kors watch, certainly add the perfect touch of sparkle.

NEON ON NEON

In the midst of packing for my US/South American summer, I couldn't help but take a moment to snap my latest neon crushes(s).

Lots of excitement fast approaching.

This time next week, I'll be kicking back, relaxing (or possibly recovering) from what is set to be an indulgent weekend of bridal festivities.

Dress and shoes sorted, now all that's missing is the company.

Can't wait for my friends from all corners to fly into Melbourne and help me celebrate.

OMBRE DENIM

Every wardrobe needs at least one denim shirt in my opinion. I now have a few, so I tend to look for differences in colour and wash. This is my first ombre denim shirt and it's oversized boyfriend style works perfectly buttoned up and tucked into shorts or simply thrown over a dress like this.

It's now just over two weeks before I pack up and head off overseas.

There is definitely something to be said about the 'travel bug'. Once it's bitten, each time you're hoping to visit just one more city, just one month longer. I'm well and truly hooked and love discovering new places, meeting new people and leaving my mark.

Places, people, experiences.

HAIR THERE

A good hair dresser is like finding a needle in a haystack. Thankfully I have now found mine.

Last week, I had the pleasure of having my hair treated by balayage king and hair extraordinaire, Jaye Edwards, who beautifully lightened my locks to perfection.

Jaye, based in Sydney's Surry Hills, makes the commute to his new St Kilda salon every few months, so now Melbourne girls can get a piece of the action too.

If you are on the hunt for incredible hair, look no further.

PASTELS AND WHITE JEANS

As mentioned in my last 'all white' outfit post (here), these white J Brand jeans sure are getting a work out lately.

Normally limited to wearing white in the warmer months, I'm finding a new love for dressing for winter in neutrals and pretty pastel colours.

In other exciting news...I'm getting married, which means my life is currently all a whirl with dress choices, bridal celebrations and travel plans.

More on that very soon.

WHITE JEANS

I can't seem to escape my love of layering white lately. There is something so classic and yet so on-trend about crisp white.

My last 'white on white' post experimented more with textures and this time, I opted for a more tailored look, with, always reliable white denim and this incredible statement blazer.

Power shoulders plus a peplum, could you ask for anything more.

In the meantime, I was thrilled, when my girl B, spotted some behind the scenes shots in OYSTER MAGAZINE, from a Sportsgirl campaign, I was recently involved in. You can check out a sneak peek HERE.

Dear friends,

I'm pretty happy that this fluffy knit has come into my life! It works just as well dressed down, with shorts and boots, as is does dressed up with leather trousers, a tailored shirt and stilettos.

You can expect to see a lot more fluffy goodness on the blog as the days get shorter and the weather cooler. Much to my dismay, Autumn is definitely in the air.

Hope you're having a great weekend!
