Golden years

Over the extra long weekend, we were treated to the perfect Autumn sunshine here in Melbourne.

A fabulous time had, indulging in cuisine from all corners of the world, the obligatory boutique hoping and a fierce bocce tournament with great company in the park.

Over the weekend, I was also thrilled to be involved in a blogger collaboration (alongside the beautiful Bianca and Jess), for the summer look-book of fabulous Melbourne-based accessory label Sarah Conners. I can't reveal too much just yet, but think bright colours, scorching summer heat and exotic locations.

A huge thank you to the incredible photographer of the day, Lee Oliveira. If you haven't already, do yourselves a favour and check out Lee's street-style blog, a true talent, you won't be disappointed.

Fun in the sun

If you've been following my adventures on twitter, you would already know that, (much to my disappointment) there hasn't been much of a summer at all in Melbourne.

The other day however, I managed to catch a glimpse of the sun I've so been missing. Jumped on my bike and headed straight to the beach.

Melbourne Fashion Festival is coming up soon and the next few weeks are filled with lots of fashion fun! Can't wait to share all the action with you!

Shorts, vintage

Copacabana

Firstly I wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who shared their travel hot-spots with me in my last post – Dreaming of a European Summer, – you guys are the best! You’ve given me some great advice, and even more places to add to my steadily growing itinerary.

From time to time I get asked questions about fashion, design, my travels, so I thought a good way to answer these would be in a video blog – my first Vlog? Blideo?

If you have any questions you’d like answered let me know [EMAIL, FACEBOOK, TWEET, FORMSPRING.ME], and I’ll be sure to include your questions too!

I’m wearing:
Pants – Lark & Wolff, Urban Outfitters (Miami)
Shirt – Kookai (Australia)
Oxfords – Urban Outfitters (New York)
Fedora – Jay Jays (Australia)

There is something about the look of neutrals against crisp white that gets me every time. Throw in a fedora and all of a sudden sipping mojitos just makes sense - have a great week guys!

P.S. To thank my gorgeous readers for their ongoing support, I’m working on a great fashion giveaway which I will be able to share with you in the next couple of weeks. This one is a beauty, so be sure to stay tuned.

Summer lovin'

I won this gorgeous swimsuit, courtesy of the lovely girls at Ivana and Katerina.
I really love one piece bathers, not only because they are super comfortable, but they also look great worn as a body suit. The stripe and ruffle detailing is my favourite!

Over the weekend, we headed out into the sunshine, to test out my latest swimwear addition. My darling fiancé did a great job capturing the beautiful bright blue sky and ocean in these photos.

I'm wearing:
Ivana and Katerina one-piece swimsuit
Vintage crop top
Target acid wash shorts

P.S. Don't forget, this is the last week to enter my fashion giveaway to win a beautiful Hayley Kate design. Spread the word to increase you chances of winning.

Good luck, giveaway closes on Monday 1 February.

Up close and personal

After watching countless episodes of the Hills (in my defence I was recovering from the removal of two wisdom teeth), I was determined to get my hands on LC’s two finger name ring. After a bit of research I came across Personalized Boutique who, as the name suggests specialise in all kinds of personalised jewellery.

Only a couple of weeks later, this gorgeous ring arrived on my door step and I couldn’t be happier – my ring looks even better than I had hoped.

If, like me you are on the hunt for quality personalised jewellery, or a great gift for that matter, check out the Personalized Boutique website. There is so much to choose from – I think the Monogram Initial Necklace and Angel Wings are next on my list.

Finally, if you haven't already, be sure to enter my fashion giveaway to win a spectacular ruffle and pearl dress from local Aussie designer Hayley Kate. The competition is open to all of my beautiful readers.

Now comes the exciting part of planning what cities to visit.

Birthday weekend

And so it's my birthday and the middle of an unseasonably HOT November. In-fact a record breaking heatwave of more than a week at temperatures over 39 degrees Celsius!

Over the weekend my fiancé and I kicked off by celebrating in a gorgeous vineyard with wine, cheese and a friendly game of croquet. The outfit - Children of the Sun sundress, fedora and paisley canvas shoes - nothing particularly experimental, but in this weather, less is definitely more!

I also enjoyed a day of shopping and a fabulous Moroccan family feast, with every evening of this week spent cooling off at the beach.

I was very spoilt by the family, receiving lovely gifts of clothes, jewellery and perfume. I look forward to celebrating with friends this weekend.

Don't forget you have until the end of November to enter my giveaway for your chance to win a custom made dress or skirt - enter here.
