HOUNDSTOOTH

As soon as I laid eyes on these incredible houndstooth shorts, I had to have them!

Manning Cartell has to be one of my favourite Australian labels, always feminine and always the right balance of on-trend pieces and classic wardrobe must-haves.

After NYE celebrations, lined up for tomorrow evening (you can check out my party outfit HERE), I'm off again on another road-trip of Australia, driving from Melbourne, all the way up North, to the Sunshine Coast.

Beaches, sunshine, and great adventures - bring it on!

Happy new year to all of my beautiful readers.

'TIS THE SEASON

Having spent a lot of my time in the United States, I can tell you now, I'm no stranger to Free People.

The festive season means party dresses, and this silk ruffled beauty jumped out at me as the perfect celebration piece.

I'm not one to normally jump on red, but 'tis the season and all that jazz. My trusty stiletto heels, a textured clutch, some gold glitz and I'm on my way.

Wishing all that celebrate the finest of Christmas festivities. This year I'm embarking on a road-trip around the East Cost of Australia, you can follow my adventure on twitter & instagram @friendinfashion.

THE FLORAL SUIT

I've long been a fan of floral prints, so I couldn't resist this beautiful silk floral suit.

Designed by Melbourne label, Alessa, this very pretty two-piece, works perfectly suited or as separates.

The perfect summer suit.

I've long been a fan of customised vintage denim, and I have to say LENNI have some of the best styles going around.

These pastel floral shorts are denim perfection, and I couldn't help but dress up the look with my favourite sandals and this incredible leather sleeved tee, from Korean brand, Yes I'm French.

This week it is my birthday, and as always, I'm looking forward to a fantastic week filled with fun, family and friends.

Stay tuned to instagram and twitter for all the updates.

There is something to be said about adding hardware accents to an outfit. This studded sweatshirt and metallic-detail flatform sandals, add just the right amount of grunge and street cred for my liking.

As introduced in my last post (here), I'm currently guest blogging for one of my online favourites, SurfStitch. Yesterday I sat down with the team to discuss all things fashion, summer and blogging. You can check out the interview on their blog, This&That at the end of the week.

Off to the Topshop Spring soiree this evening - you can follow all the fun on twitter and instagram (@friendinfashion).
