ASOS BEHIND THE SCENES

As mentioned in my last blog post (here), my quick visit to London saw me team up with the ASOS Fashion Finder team and take up their blogger style challenge.

Here is a fun behind the scenes sneak peek at my key ASOS holiday pieces.

I had such a great time styling and shooting with the team - hope you love the video as much as I do.

THE SHIRT DRESS

NOIR dress via Rtister.com / Keepsake metallic clutch / Tiffany rings / Tony Bianco sandals

The shirt dress has got to be the ultimate wardrobe addition. More often than not, it serves as my failsafe work to party pick, and seems to suit any occasion. 

This incredible silk print dress, which I picked up from one of my online favourites, Rtister.com is the work of Danish designer, Noir and is beyond words stunning.

I can already tell this will transform beautifully in the cooler months paired back with tights, ankle boots and my favourite leather jacket.

FIESTA - THE SUMMER MAXI

Spencer Lacy silk maxi dress / Tony Bianco sandals

There is something so effortless and romantic about throwing on a maxi dress in the heat of summer.

This beautiful silk print maxi, is compliments of Australian label, Spencer Lacy and is beautiful in its fabric and design. The asymmetrical shoulder and uneven hemline are such pretty features, and is not a combination I usually see in maxi dresses.

As my friend, B pointed out - very flamenco and very fiesta!

STATEMENT PLAYSUIT

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).

NEON ON NEON

In the midst of packing for my US/South American summer, I couldn't help but take a moment to snap my latest neon crushes(s).

Lots of excitement fast approaching.

This time next week, I'll be kicking back, relaxing (or possibly recovering) from what is set to be an indulgent weekend of bridal festivities.

Dress and shoes sorted, now all that's missing is the company.

Can't wait for my friends from all corners to fly into Melbourne and help me celebrate.

THE PEPLUM TOP

      Dotti peplum top & neon belt, Joe's Jeans, Arnette shades, Graine clutch

I've long been a fan of peplum shapes, with dresses and blazers filling my wardrobe, but surprisingly, this is the first peplum top.

It is such a flattering silhouette and works dressed up or dressed down. Trend or no trend, peplum will be a regular wardrobe addition.

FAIRGROUND STATEMENT PRINT

                Fairground dress via Market HQ, Tony Bianco boots, Belle Noel leopard bangle via Eyegasm Brands         (03 9528 7300)

  

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.

NONE THE RICHER

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

Dear friends,

None The Richer, is the Aussie brand behind this gorgeous rockabily-esque print dress.

Upon closer inspection you will notice a perfect pony print, and studded shoulder detail - all a little too fabulous!

The babe behind the brand, Ulyana , who also has an incredible blog, has designed a collection she describes as a little pop, a drop of rock, a dash of glam, a sprinkle of grunge and a splash of mess that makes you feel like dancing in the street.

One of my favourite emerging Aussie designers!

SWEET PASTEL

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

Dear friends,

Last night, I slipped into this beyond gorgeous dress, via my favourite Melbourne online boutique, GINGERBREAD SHOP, and headed down to the Alex Perry runway show at the Loreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

The show was characterised, by feminine silhouettes, delicate shoes, perfect pastels and pretty neutrals, which was right up my alley. There is definitely something to be said about lady-like dressing.

Pretty dresses have always been my weakness and this one made me feel like an absolute princess. Pastels, full skirts and metallics, reminds me a lot of Louis Vuitton's, sweet pastel candy campaign!

Tonight I'm off to the In Style runway. Follow me on TWITTER for live updates from the show.

I'm wearing
Dress, via GINGERBREAD SHOP
Heels, TopShop

Dreams are made of vintage dresses

Today I was searching my computer for the perfect entry for weardrobe’s ‘time after time’ contest, and came across these unpublished photos, of one of my all-time favourite vintage dresses - also seen here.

I remember how happy I was when I found this dress, hidden away, in my local thrift store, and double-taking at the price tag - $6.00!

It is layer upon layer of lace and tulle and is ultra-luxe.

If you like my entry, you can 'heart' my photo here.

Have a fabulous weekend!
