OUI OUI PARIS

 The city of love and style, J'aime Paris!

If you're following me on instagram, or snapchat (@friendinfashion), you would have seen my latest adventure from one of my favourite cities in the world, Paris!

France for me, naturally optimises style, so my dress code is simple - black, white, stripes and Chanel of course.

I'm in town with Veuve Clicquot, to celebrate their newest product Rich (trust me - it's amazing!), which, luckily for me, means a gorgeous visit to the Champagne region of France (Reims), as well as some fun in Paris.

More on this soon...

MBFWA WRAP UP

Four days, four new outfits…welcome to my MBFWA.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending MBFWA! Here is a wrap up of my fashion week wardrobe. 

DAY 1 - STRIPE ON STRIPE

To kick off fashion week, I opted for a bold and colourful look. I took these incredible striped separates from Aussie label MacGraw and complimented them with key bold accessories. This green Furla clutch and a pop of lip colour with my new beauty must have Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Shine in 'Surreal Sun'.

DAY 2 - ALL BLUE EVERYTHING

Back in colour for day two but this time I stuck to some OTT baby blue. To break up the block colour, I opted for my favourite Givenchy floral clutch, nude sandals and a soft pink lip created with Envy Shine in 'Charmed'.

DAY 3 - 70s REVIVAL

It's all about 70s style on the runway and street style is no exception. For day three, I managed to track down these incredible Shakuhachi flares (my new wardrobe staple) as my outfit starting point. I completed my inner-70s-child by layering some more stripes, these electric blue shades and of course a strong bold lip colour - this time my choice was Envy Shine in 'Empowered'.

DAY 4 - CROP IT

For my final fashion week outfit - I thought I'd have a bit of fun contrasting prints and patterns. I love to mix, match and clash! So I styled this Clover Canyon neo-prene crop, with this stripe skort. I decided to keep my accessories to a minimum for this look, with Classic Chanel and a nude lip (Envy Shine - 'Discreet') for the perfect finishing touches.

And there you have it - my fashion week wardrobe all wrapped up! 

Which was your favourite look?

TRAILBLAZER

I have a handful of Australian designers that are my go-to, which I'll be sharing with you across a series of dedicated blog posts.

Bec and Bridge is the first on my list. Earlier this year, I attended Sydney Fashion Week and viewed this resort collection. Full of chic stripes and elegant silhouettes, the Due North collection is perfectly on trend.

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!

Have you ever visited New Zealand?

OFF THE SHOULDER

Back to basics - the style of dressing I feel most comfortable in.

A great pair of jeans, a classic stripe and of course the perfect coat.

I've always get so many compliments on this coat, which I got a couple of years ago now from [HERE] but sadly this style is long gone.

My hunt for the next statement coat continues.

HAIR ESSENTIALS

General Pants tee / MAC 'Lady Danger' lipstick / by jasmin wanderlust necklace / Hair colour Edwards & Co.  Fudge Smooth Shot Shampoo & Conditioner

Because I colour my hair so frequently and I'm often travelling, exposing my hair to a lot of damage, I'm always on the lookout for new hair products to keep my locks looking healthy and shiny.

This week I've been testing out a new shampoo/conditioner combination to try and compensate for my well traveled, colour treated mane - the Fudge Smooth Shot range.

So far, I've been really impressed with the results,  after the first couple of washes, my hair was left feeling lovely and soft and even my dryer ends felt rejuvenated. The product has a lovely fresh ginger aroma (smells so good) and best of all, is sulfate free, which seems to help hold my colour for longer, between salon visits.

If you're ends are a little dry and damaged like mine, I recommend taking a small amount of your conditioner and applying it to the ends of your hair before drying and styling.

I have found that this works really well for me and acts like a deep conditioning treatment.

I'd love to hear any of your hair tips - tweet me at @friendinfashion

Crazy for stripes

It’s now less than two weeks left for me here in Vietnam. Next on the itinerary, back home to a cold, wintery Australia for one week, before heading off again with my sights set on Europe.

As I start to pack my suitcase, I’m noticing just how many striped shirts, skirts and dresses I own, so I’d thought I’d play around with my latest striped dress purchase, by styling with, yep you guessed it, more stripes!

I’m wearing:
Dress: Markets, Hanoi
Blazer: Zara
Boots: Charlotte Russe

P.S. Thanks to the super gorgeous Liv, of lovers in vain for sending through my Grazia Magazine feature. I was also thrilled to be announced as Weardrobe's spotlight blogger of the day.

On the prowl

Mission – organise an engagement party in four weeks.

Venue – check, guest list – check, catering – check, outfit – ???

The last few weeks have been spent frantically trying to organise an engagement party.

Finding an outfit for the special occasion is proving more difficult than I had anticipated. I am on the hunt for the perfect cocktail dress/outfit and heels, something, feminine, and unique. So I am throwing it out to the fabulous blogging community, any ideas or suggestions would be more than appreciated. The more pairs of eyes the better :)

I am looking for something white/cream and I can’t get enough of tulle at the moment!

Jeans: Target
Shoes: Shoebiz
