PASTEL LOVE

Dear friends,

We've been spoilt to some lovely warm weather of late (apologies to my friends in the Northern Hemisphere), and when the sun is out, there is nothing I love more than heading out on to the marina, for a sail around the bay.

These very sweet baby pink espadrilles are courtesy of the team at HuToPa, which I've been living in of late. The perfect casual shoe, in so many cute colours! The red pair are next on my list.

Shopbop is always my go to, and with so many goodies I'm finding it terribly difficult to decide. I have however, managed to narrow my shortlist of favourite down to five.

Now it's over to you, I need your help - which is your favourite?

Golden years

Over the extra long weekend, we were treated to the perfect Autumn sunshine here in Melbourne.

A fabulous time had, indulging in cuisine from all corners of the world, the obligatory boutique hoping and a fierce bocce tournament with great company in the park.

Over the weekend, I was also thrilled to be involved in a blogger collaboration (alongside the beautiful Bianca and Jess), for the summer look-book of fabulous Melbourne-based accessory label Sarah Conners. I can't reveal too much just yet, but think bright colours, scorching summer heat and exotic locations.

A huge thank you to the incredible photographer of the day, Lee Oliveira. If you haven't already, do yourselves a favour and check out Lee's street-style blog, a true talent, you won't be disappointed.

Dirty Princess

Recently I was introduced to the sweet new Aussie label, Dirty Princess, and was lucky enough to receive this fabulous Dirty Love Baggy Boy Singlet - cute right!

The Dirty Princess range of tees and tanks are characterised by the slouchy, boyfriend-style silhouette that I love so much, and embrace bold graphics that are all about fun, attitude and just a hint of rebellion.

I couldn’t help but style back with my most regal glitter shoes.
