70s VIBES
From the catwalk to the streets, this season it's all about that 70's vibe...
For me, 70s is a return to rompers and flares - plunging necklines and platform heels.
Colours - blue denim, tobacco suede and tan.

SOMETHING IN THE AIR
POLKA DOTS IN PALM SPRINGS
Palm Springs, California has to be one of my most favourite places to visit in the world...
Sunshine, a breathtaking backdrop of desert, mountains, palm trees, and some spectacular architecture and design, Palm Springs is a 2 hour drive out of Los Angeles and a must-do on any Cali-adventure.
Summer in Palm Springs, is hot, and I mean really hot, even by Australian standards, so in between pool sessions, and chilled agua fresca on tap, I managed to step out in my favourite summer polka dot maxi, in front of one of my favourite Palm Springs homes.

STATEMENT LACE JUMPSUIT
Dress it up or dress it down...
NBD lace jumpsuit via Revolve / Chanel bag, by jasmin 'carpe diem' necklace
To me, lace is always so classic and a timeless addition to any wardrobe.
Ordinarily, I'm drawn to white lace, but for something different (and a bit more winter-friendly), I opted for a black version of this striking jumpsuit. I think the plunging neckline adds a perfect modern twist.

I've also just designed a new necklace addition to my by jasmin jewellery collection - this pretty 'carpe diem' script necklace. It is my favourite - so delicate and fine, and the perfect reminder to seize each and every day!

WHITE DRESS, PASTEL PINKS
As a fashion blogger, I take great joy in uncovering new design talent...
A short while ago, while tumbling around instagram, I came across this beautiful mesh ball dress, by graduate Sydney designer, Georgia Annabelle.
This backless dress, is definitely head-turner, and was the perfect outfit option for the Melbourne Fashion Festival closing event celebration.
Keep an eye on this up and comer.

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND
Introducing my newest accessory...
Keepsake lace romper, Givenchy clutch, by jasmin jewellery
Say hello to my little friend, my new Fiat 500 convertible.
For the better part of last year, I was abroad, travelling, so It has been so lovely to kick off the new year, with some rest and relaxation, settled back home in Melbourne.
Because I'm often away, I've missed having my own car, so I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to test out this new beauty.
It is the perfect city run-around for me, dashing between shoots and appointments, and doubles as a fun and ultra-stylish fashion accessory. The Fiat definitely turns heads.
Can't wait to road-trip down the coast this weekend, with the roof down, and fresh air through my hair.

HONG KONG NIGHTS
Tackling the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong on a balmy summer evening.

BY JASMIN x MAGALI PASCAL | PART II
I'm thrilled to share the second instalment, Magali Pascal...
If you've been following my instagram (@friendinfashion), you would have noticed me wearing A LOT of white lately. I think there is something so minimal and chic about dressing in one colour, and having darker hair and features, I love the contrast of wearing all-white.
I also love statement dressing, and this incredible detailed dress, by my good friend, French designer, Magali Pascal has to be one of my all time favourites.
This is the second part of my collaboration with Magali Pascal, to celebrate the arrival of by jasmin fine jewellery (my jewellery label) in Magali Pascal stores across Bali.
BY JASMIN x MAGALI PASCAL
When I was last in Bali, I had the absolute pleasure of collaborating with my good friend, and accomplished fashion designer, Magali Pascal...
Today I'm thrilled to share part one of our collaboration - which was designed to highlight Magali's beautiful gowns, as well as my own collection of fine jewellery, by jasmin.
All of the gowns featured, are available online at Magali Pascal.
BY JASMIN | FINE JEWELLERY FOR THE ETERNAL WANDERLUST
Last week, to celebrate my birthday, I had the pleasure (and good fortune) of visiting heaven on earth…otherwise know as the SIX SENSES in the Maldives.
In between swims in the most crystal blue water and indulging in some of the best food and drink I've ever enjoyed, I teamed up with RAZ to shoot the campaign for my jewellery line, by jasmin.
It is with great pleasure that I present to you my second collection of by jasmin - fine jewellery for the eternal wanderlust.
Inspired by the ultimate tropical escape, the new collection is inspired by a philosophy to;

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.
DREAM DENIM
Finding a great pair of jeans can sometime feel like searching for a diamond in the rough.
For me, this oversized style is perfect for a causal look - and I'm especially loving the 90s denim wash.
The masculine style is a nice contrast to this feminine, summer ready crop don't you think?
CROPS, CHANEL & PENCIL SKIRTS
I think one of the hardest challenges when styling a crop top is finding the perfect accompanying skirt, pants or pair of shorts to team with it.
I love just a flash of midriff with a crop, so I tend to be drawn mainly to high waisted styles, in turn avoiding too much skin on display.
The silhouette of a pencil skirt is spot on for me and adds instant sophistication to any outift.
What do you like to wear with a crop top?
WHITE ON WHITE
Thurley top | Zara trousers | Givenchy floral clutch
Spring has sprung here in Melbourne, which means the return of white to my wardrobe, and lots of it.
White screams spring/summer to me and I love to layer white on white for a bold, yet minimal look.

OFF THE SHOULDER
Seed top | J Brand jeans | Goodnight Macaroon coat |

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.
STREET STYLE | JOSH GOOT
Josh Goot bustier | Viktoria + Woods Coat | Cameo pants |
Being petit, I have great difficulty finding bustier-style tops which fit me well, so when I tried this Josh Goot style (which fit like a glove), I had to have one in white, as well as black.
I love the form and structure of this top, it works so well with trousers, a pencil skirt or even as a way of dressing up my favourite denim.

Two more sleeps until I head overseas for a relaxing tropical escape, and to say I'm excited is an understatement.
I've just started up a YouTube channel, so I thought I try my hand at 'vlogging' with a couple of my travel essentials.
