WIN A TRIP TO MIAMI

Now have I got a treat for you!

How does an unforgettable week-long vacation for you and three friends in Miami sound... 

Miami is one of my favourite cities to visit - the sun, the sand and the nightlife always make for one fabulous adventure. So I've teamed up with my friends at VOGUE eyewear, to give you the chance to win their annual Summer House contest, and let me tell you it's a beauty!

TO ENTER

All you need to do is sign up for VOGUE Style Miles (HERE), and indulge in some gorgeous Miami inspiration - it's as easy as that.

And naturally you'll need to look the part, so I've styled up two of my favourite sunglass styles from the VOGUE 'texture collection' to give you a little style inspiration.

My favourites have to be the lilac and ruby red styles from the Brazilian Twist range, which has been inspired by model muse and all-round mega babe Adriana Lima.

These styles are tropical, colourful and vibrant, which suits Miami-style to a tee, and I just adore the tropical floral prints which really make these shades that extra-bit special.

STYLE TIP - HOW TO WEAR COLOURED SHADES

Team back with contrasting colours for a bold look, or tone down with crisp-white for an elegant summer-statement look.

Don't forget to sign up to VOGUE Style Miles to enter this once in a life time competition.

Competition ends November 13 2015, 11.59pm.

Best of luck.

THE PLAYSUIT

Ministry of Style playsuit | by jasmin fine jewellery

Summer is oh so close here in Melbourne, which means it's time to pack away the coats and make the transition across to a summer wardrobe (my favourite).

Summer dressing to me is all about ease and simplicity, which sees me largely drawn to white sundresses, oversized tanks, and of course playsuits.

This is my newest wardrobe addition and drew me in with the gorgeous contrast crochet detailing.

I'm completely and utterly obsessed with all things crochet and broderie, something that just screams summer to me.

I'M ON A BOAT

I've had the good fortune of staying in some pretty unique and incredible places around the world, but never one quite like this...

Picture this, sunshine beaming, water glistening, flying into a stunning Sydney Harbour, then heading straight onto your own luxury boat.

Last weekend, after some careful searching through Airbnb, I found my own luxury boat to hire.

Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this truly unique experience, which has left me wondering why I've never stayed on a boat before - such amazing fun!

If the sea isn't for you - you may enjoy my other luxury wish-list Sydney properties [HERE].

I'd love to know WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE.

ISLAND LIFE

There is something to be said about island life and neon. 

This incredible playsuit has come in extremely handy during my time exploring the beautiful islands of Croatia (you can see all my travel pictures and video on instagram @friendinfashion), and I'm sure I'll get even more wear as I venture towards the equally as beautiful Greek islands next.

For now, I'm off to explore more of Dubrovnik before I sadly bid the amazing country of Croatia farewell.

As someone who loves colour, it is rare that I'd opt for an all monochrome look, but sometimes black and white is just so striking and chic.

In fact, this has got to be one of my favourite looks to go from a day of meetings, right through to an evening out, mind you, I'd generally replace the stilettos with leopard flats for a day of running around the city.

VAMASTYLE ASOS MARKETPLACE

I'm excited to now be able to share with you a project that I've been working on with my favourite summer label, Vamastyle.

When I was asked by the Vamastyle team to shoot their latest collection for their new ASOS Marketplace boutique, I couldn't resist. The label is all about feminine tailoring, pretty prints and colour, which is right up my alley, so I was thrilled to be involved.

Here are some of my favourite looks, you can check out the entire Vamastyle ASOS Marketplace boutique here.

Look no further.

This Shona Joy playsuit is THE ultimate wardrobe statement.

What's not to love - cut out detail, beautiful geometric print and sheer wide-leg trousers. I'm looking forward to the weather heating up so I can really get some use out of this gorgeous jumpsuit.

I'm now back from a fabulous visit to Singapore. You can catch a glimpse of my Singapore adventure over on instagram (@friendinfashion).

POLKA PLAYSUIT PT II

Dear friends,

Earlier in the week, I posted my favourite summer-time playsuit: 'POLKA PLAYSUIT PART I, and promised I'd return with a second post, revealing another fabulous way of wearing this one-piece beauty.

I love creating different looks with a wardrobe staple, so here I've simply added a pair of high waisted trousers and heels to my playsuit and voilà - outfit transformed.

What do you think?

POLKA PLAYSUIT PT I

Dear friends,

Regular readers would know that playsuits/rompers occupy a large majority of my wardrobe.

One of the reasons I love a good playsuit is that they are perfectly versatile when styling. Whether it be worn as is, or layered, playsuits are my wardrobe go-to.

This polka beauty is the creation of Aussie label, VAMASTYLE and just screams summer! When uncovering new brands I always love to learn a labels story and design influences.

VAMASTYLE'S designer sums up her collection beautifully as inspired by endless summer holidays, lovingly designed using bright colours, eye catching prints and feminine detailing.

'Sunday brunch at Bronte, a beach holiday in Koh Samui, or drinks at The Ivy'.

Coming up, I'll show you another way that I love to wear this pretty number.

I'm wearing:

'Rock the Tanjong' playsuit, via VAMASTYLE
Vintage belt
Platform wedges, Airlie Beach
Sunglasses, Mink Pink, via MARKET HQ

Dear friends,

I've said it before, rompers/ playsuits, always feature heavily in my wardrobe, especially as we head into the warmer months.

I picked up this floral number from In Love With Fashion, who I first stumbled across in Topshop, whilst travelling through the UK.

Anything with pockets is generally a winner for me, and I'm particularly smitten for this lovely floral print.

I'm wearing:
Floral romper, via In Love With Fashion
