Introducing the second instalment of my collaboration with online boutique, zoie.com.au. You can check out the first here.
This very pretty dress has all the makings of the perfect statement dress and is one of my favourites.
I love the beige, black and neon colour combo and the full skirt adds the perfect feminine touch.
A winner for the upcoming spring racing season in Australia.

NONE THE RICHER
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!

Flower power
As mentioned in my last post, I picked up these great sandals and pretty floral dress from my favourite shopping spot in Hanoi, Hang Ngon, both for less than $20.
In addition to magnificent food, friendly people and a beautiful geography, Vietnam has some really good shopping, particularly if you know where to look. I’ve picked up so many of my now favourite pieces: shoes, dresses and accessories during my stay here, and fear that I’m going to be way over my luggage weight allowance.
I have only three more weeks left to enjoy Vietnam, before heading back to Australia for a week to visit friends and family and then I’m off to explore again! First on the itinerary: Singapore, Barcelona and Portugal.

Power Dressing
"Dress sharply and they notice the dress. Dress impeccably and they notice the woman" – Coco Chanel
Power dressing is back, sprawled across magazines and catwalks alike - the reintroduction of shoulder pads, suiting and bold colours. Power dressing is a style of clothing intended to convey the impression of assertiveness, confidence and competence.

A favourite look of mine at the moment is tailored and feminine dressing. Outfits that radiate femininity and elegance are classic, suit every body shape and are simple to achieve.
My tip: Look for clothes that highlight your figure - think pencil skirts, detailed blouses and cropped cardigans. Define waists and accentuate curves.
The key to mastering this look is in the finer detail and accessories are a must. Keep an eye out for pearls, lace, brooches, flowers, gloves, ruffles and skinny belts.

Ways to wear: Stretch cotton dress
This is another of Alice Wark’s designs.
A simple stretch cotton dress is a great versatile addition to any wardrobe.
Here I demonstrate just a handful of different ways you can experiment with the one design to create a range of different outfits easily and inexpensively.
My tip: Be creative, but stick to styles that compliment your body shape and always dress to accentuate your good points. For example if your problem area is your legs, try a fitted style up top and a fuller/flared skirt.
A simple style dress like this also looks great with accessories so why not try creating new looks by adding different belts, jewellery, bags and shoes.
