TREND ALERT | NORMCORE


So what is the 'normcore' trend really all about anyway?...







For my next instalment of Westfield AW15 #FashionObsessions, I'm sharing one of my favourite trends of the moment - normcore.

Think boy meets girl - unisex, casual dressing at its finest.

For me, to embrace this trend I opt for my favourite pair of jeans, a classic white tee and some trainers - a street-style must.

Such a simple trend to recreate yourself, comfortable and so easy to wear.

KHAKI LOVER


Trend alert - Military is in... 



This season I've teamed up with Westfield to share some of my AW15 #FashionObsessions. 

Military is the first of my favourite trends. 

 I’m absolutely obsessed with Khaki as the colour of the season, which I see as the perfect colour compliment to classic black and white. 


 Teamed back with statement boots, I plan to transform this look further, as the weather cools by styling with a black fitted turtle-neck and tights.

THE CROCHET BIKINI

Welcome to this slice of paradise…







I'm wearing: Andi Bagus crochet bikini & straw hat.

In the last year, Bali has become a home-away from home for me.

Over Christmas, I had the pleasure of a little rest and relaxation, travelling through Bali, and enjoyed a few nights in this oasis, also known as The Amala, right in the hustle and bustle of Seminyak.

Famous for its great shopping, food and nightlight, Seminyak is often on most Bali tourist itineraries, which means it can get busy and sometimes overwhelming (in the most pleasant sense), so to have a peaceful and quite resort to return to and relax is most welcomed.

Aside from its beautiful decor, and jade-green waters - each private villa in The Amala, has it's own gorgeous plunge pool. There are only 12 villas on the property, making it a gorgeous, private and quite place to unwind.

The perfect luxe escape - and a must on your next visit to Seminyak.

Not much beat classic stripes, and I'm loving midi dresses of late.

Accessories with my favourite ankle boots, and an oversized hat and you got a simple and chic outfit. perfect for a day on the run.

In other news, I'm off to New Zealand this week - this will be my first visit to NZ and I can't wait! I may even bungee jump if I can muster up the courage!

Today I bring you, my second LIFE with Bird party look to get you through this festive season. In my last post, I mixed things up with a little sports luxe (HERE), but now it's all about effortless glamour. 

To me, there is something so romantic about a maxi skirt, and this incredible leopard print creates the perfect statement, worthy of turning heads. 

Top off this look with a few key accessories and you've got a perfectly trans-seasonal party ready look. The hat is a perfect addition if you're out and about all day in the beautiful summer sunshine - on trend and sun-smart. 


When: Saturday 7 December, 1pm - 4pm

Where: LIFE with BIRD, Chadstone Shopping Centre

FRENCH RIVIERA








The South of France is one of my absolute favourite parts of the world. When I visit, I usually base out of a beach-side apartment in Nice, and then rent a scooter to ride up and down the French Riviera.

The best part about this is you have the freedom to explore all the main spots - Cannes, Monaco, as well as uncovering so many unknown and quite off-the-beaten track beaches and picturesque hot-spots. 

 The other day, I was treated to the most crystal clear blue Mediterranean, so I couldn't help but spend the entire day beach-side.  

 As always, you can follow my travels on instagram @friendinfashion, twitter and facebook.
