Art nouveau

I picked up this lovely vintage dress a little while ago from Split Pea Vintage, and have been waiting for the cooler weather to set in, before road testing.

The print is so detailed, and the high collar is the perfect addition. I can already tell this is going to be one of my winter favourites.

Tonight, I'm off to the final runway show for Melbourne's Fashion Festival. Be sure to follow me on twitter for all the updates as they happen.

Somedays Lovin

How incredible is this vintage skirt! Circa 1970's, the vibrant floral print and lace trim first caught my eye and has had a serious workout this summer.

Super busy couple of weeks coming up - new job, new adventures and fashion events galore - tweeting all the way!

Sunburn Australia

I was very lucky to receive this lovely swimsuit, courtesy of the team at Sunburn.

Since arriving home, each day has consisted of a visit down to the beach, so I've been living in this gorgeous bikini ever since.

You can check out the extensive Sunburn product range on their website sunburn.com.au, on facebook, or twitter.

Summer here we come!

On the streets of Milan

Milan truly is a shoppers paradise. From fashion power-houses Gucci to Armani, Prada to Misson, Milan is a one-stop-shop for the ultimate in luxe shopping.

The city also has a great emerging designer scene, amazing fashion markets and some of the best vintage stores I've come across during my travels.

Corso Buenos Aires, Via Torino and Corso Como have been some of my favourite shopping spots.

Needless to say my budget, and suitcase are in for a workout!

I'm wearing:
Leather jacket: Markets
Plaid shirt: Bardot
Skirt: H&M
Sandals: Markets

Mixing it up

Another scorching week in Hanoi! I've basically lived in this swimsuit, spending most evenings cooling off pool-side.

Lately, i've found myself mixing prints more and more. As you can see from previous posts: here and here, I'm a huge fan of stripes, and what better than mixing stripes with pretty florals.

I'm really looking forward to spending time, further exploring Vietnam, with trips to Hoi An (a mecca for tailors and shoe-makers), Ha Long Bay, and Ho Chi Minh City coming up over the next few weeks. Would love any travel tips!

I'm wearing:
Ivana and Katerina one-piece swimsuit
Skirt - Hong Kong markets
Oxfords - Urban Outfitters

Oh so pretty

As I settle into my new apartment (climate and culture), I thought I'd share the magical Gossip Girl inspired world, created in the March issue of UK Cosmopolitan by Aussie photographer, Tom Corbett and fashion director, Shelly Vella.

Ordinarily I don't post editorial, but this was just too cute! I simply adore the mis-matching prints, dots and stripes, bright colours, bows, socks and heels - perfection!

P.S. I'll be back soon with my latest and prettiest acquisition, courtesy of the amazing Monique Martinez.
