FLORAL JEANS

My latest obsession is anything is this cotton candy pink colour, and this Something Else shirt is absolute perfection. It seems to work back with everything in my wardrobe, especially these floral jeans.

At the moment, I'm eyeing off a Josh Goot dress is the same colour, which I think will be the perfect party dress for my bridal shower which isn't too far off now.

Three more weeks, 'til I board a plane bound for the U S of A. I can't wait to soak up the summer rays which are so lacking in Melbourne's chilly winter.

LOVELY LACE

There is something so feminine and luxe about lace.

It is one of my favourite fabrics to wear, and my friends at Lucette, have nailed it once again with this beautifully crafted lace shirt.

The perfect contrast against black or navy in winter, and I can't wait to style in the heat of the northern hemisphere soon, against white-washed denim.

Four weeks and counting...

PALAZZO

I'm definitely a summer kind of gal.

If I had my way, I would spend my time chasing the warm weather around the world. Alternate trips between Europe and the Americas June-September, followed by Island hopping, en route to Australia for some beach fun to kick off the new year.

Enjoy and repeat.

This time round, the West Coast of the States, Mexico and Vancouver are calling me, and these exquisite silk palazzo pants will be sure to get a work out abroad. With heels or flats, I think there is something so sophisticated about a good palazzo pant, and Aussie label Shakuhachi sure are on to a winner with these.

FAIRGROUND STATEMENT PRINT

Now this is what I call a statement print.

During the week, the sun decided to come out and play, so this bold graphic print tank got a workout.

Mixing up the prints, accessorising with this incredible leopard bangle and my trusty ankle boots.

On to wedding matters, I'm on the hunt for the perfect bridal shower dress.

Think white lace, statement splits, flowing fabrics. I'd love any suggestions - tweet, facebook or instagram them through.

STUDS AND STATEMENT PRINTS

I am a huge supporter of Australian design, and this outfit sports two of my absolute favourites - Lucette, and Faddoul.

Gorgeous fabrics and detailing like these studded cuffs and exquisite prints underpin the design philosophy of both of these Aussie brands and is why I keep coming back for more.

In other news, the countdown to the nuptials, and return to the U S of A is on.

Unlike your traditional bride, I'm off for an overseas adventure, including visits to the States, Mexico and Vancouver, so flights, accommodation and dress decisions have taken over. Mind you, over the weekend, I was treated to some much needed pre-wedding rest and relaxation at The Olsen Hotel.

Definitely just what I needed.

WINTER CHILL

The temperature is dropping, as we quickly approach what's set to be a very chilly Australian winter.  

During the week, I again teamed up with good friend and photographic extraordinaire, Sabine, to capture my latest cosy winter acquisition. 

Away with the sundresses, silk, shorts and shirts, it's now all about chunky knitwear, hats and coats.

If you missed my last post, I'm thrilled to feature in Toni & Guy's latest campaign - Blogged & Bound. You can find out more about the campaign and Friend in Fashion, in the short film created here.

Dear friends, 

I'm a strong believer in keeping things simple, and when you have a dress as pretty as this, a pair of nude stilettos is the only accessory I need.

Picked up from my friends over at STYLE MILK, this dress is simple and so perfect.  

Detailed darting and a full skirt make a beautifully feminine silhouette and the delicate rose gold zip that runs the entire length of the dress adds the perfect metallic touch.

Dear friends, 

I've long been a fan of a strong printed trouser, and these leopard print jeans are no exception. They look just as fantastic styled with a clashing print shirt as they do with this chic black Karl pullover. 

Next weekend, I'm off to Sydney for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and I'll definitely be taking this outfit with me. I'm looking forward to some incredible shows and meeting some fabulous fashionistas, as always sharing my adventure along the way.

Dear friends, 

It is always an adventure, when I meet with my friend Sabine! 

The other day, we spent the morning, exploring a gorgeous little canal, and surrounding lane ways, strewn with the most beautiful florals. We also had fun running into some of the natural wildlife that took a particular liking to us. 

This very pretty dress, ankle boots and hat, seemed like the perfect adventure attire.

We snuck in some more fun, which I'll share with you later in the week, but in the meantime, you can check out more of Sabine's photography over at her blog - 'the tale of a young photographer'.

COLOUR BLOCKING PASTELS

Join Friend in Fashion on: BLOGLOVIN ~ FACEBOOK ~ PINTEREST ~ TWITTER

Dear friends,

From Louis Vuitton to 3.1 Phillip Lim, to Prada, pastels and lady-like tailoring have featured heavily on catwalks.

Here is my take on the trend, experimenting by colour blocking pastel hues, as well as texture in these gorgeous THIMBLE shorts.

There is something eternally feminine about pastels, so I'm happy to see more and more designers picking them up.

Dear friends,

My first introduction to photographic extraordinaire, Sabine was a few weeks ago during fashion week, where we exchanged stories about living in France and our love of Parisian pâtisseries!

Over the weekend, we decided to team up and snap my absolute favourite STYLESTALKER 'Young Love' LBD (little black dress).

It was fantastic collaborating with Sabine, her photographic style is so theatrical.

I'm looking forward to sharing many more projects with you.

In the meantime, you can check out more of Sabine's work over at her facebook page.

Dear friends,

There is always something classic about black and white. These print pants and shoulder sculpted Ellery shirt, add a modern twist to a traditional monochrome look.

This week has been one filled with changes, new chapters and exciting new collaborations, all of which I hope to share with you shortly.

In the meantime, I was thrilled, when my girl B, spotted some behind the scenes shots in OYSTER MAGAZINE, from a Sportsgirl campaign, I was recently involved in. You can check out a sneak peek HERE.

Dear friends,

I'm pretty happy that this fluffy knit has come into my life! It works just as well dressed down, with shorts and boots, as is does dressed up with leather trousers, a tailored shirt and stilettos.

You can expect to see a lot more fluffy goodness on the blog as the days get shorter and the weather cooler. Much to my dismay, Autumn is definitely in the air.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Dear friends,

Have you ever had one of those pinch yourself moments?

Mine came over the weekend, waking up to a photo of myself up on, Stockholm Street Style! Yes, you read correctly - STOCKHOLM STREET STYLE!

Since forever, Stockholm Street Style has been my go to, for the best street snaps from around the world, so to see my face appear, left me completely overwhelmed.

It was great meeting the very lovely CAROLINE and DANIEL, the duo behind this street style phemomenon, and after sharing stories about crazy Swedish crayfish festivals, I'm ready for a trip to Sweden!

WHIRLWIND

Dear friends,

What a whirlwind week it has been!

Yesterday I flew in and out of Sydney to shoot an incredibly exciting project, alongside some of Australia's hottest bloggers. The project will be published around May and I can't wait to share the incredible end results. In the meantime, you can check out a couple behind the scenes snaps on TWITTER and instagram (@friendinfashion).

Earlier in the week I also had the opportunity to hear Tony Hsieh, of Zappos.com fame, share his stories of success and pursuit of happiness. An incredibly motivating insight into the fashion industry and life in general. I can highly recommend his book - a great read!

PEPLUM

Dear friends,
As last blogged, MAURIE & EVE'S latest collection has me completely captivated, and this peplum dress is just too pretty for words.

An action packed week ahead, including a quick Sydney visit and locking in flights to my favourite the U S of A. My last visit to the States was last year, where I was lucky enough to drive West to East coast, exploring 26 states along the way.

This tip will be purely relaxation, plus a very special ceremony. Flying in to LA and out of NYC is the plan, still working out the in-betweens. Please shoot me through any must-sees.

Exciting times ahead.

CITRUS

Dear friends,

It's summer, it's hot and it's all about colour for me! Since picking up this perfect yellow blazer in Tokyo, I've been hard pressed to take it off. Styled back with a touch of tortoise and leopard print and you've got yourself a winner.

Today I had a chance to take a sneak peak at the 2012 Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival program. The line up this year is set to impress, so if you're in Melbourne, do yourselves a favour and check it out. If you're not in Melbourne, LMFF is the perfect excuse for a visit to this great city.

FLORALS + COLLARS

Dear friends,

I'm always a sucker for floral prints, so I was so wrapped to find this floral blazer in my travels through Japan. I was desperately looking for the matching trousers, but wasn't as lucky.

As for this asymmetrical blouse, with metallic collar detail, it is honestly one of my favourite fashion purchases. I bought this from designer and fellow blogger 'DISCO PONY', along with a couple of other lust-worthy pieces, for my birthday and is definitely my go-to whenever I'm looking for the perfect chic shirt. Love.
