CECILIE COPENHAGEN | ONE DRESS, 3 WAYS


There is something to be said about filling your wardrobe with great quality essentials.

The art of mixing and matching wardrobe basics is almost an art - an art made easier when you have some great staples in your on hand.










From day to night, I’m going to take my favourite dress by Cecilie Copenhagen (via Farfetch), and transform it simply with the use of some key accessories.

LOOK 1
Who says you can only wear a dress like a dress? For a perfect casual look, I’ve tucked my smock dress into my favourite black jeans and teamed with a great black lace up heel - done!

LOOK 2
Festival-friendly, I’ve grabbed my favourite boater hat, and statement ankle boots to once again transform from a simple dress, to street-snap worthy style.

LOOK 3
Time to dance - I’ve cinched in the waist with a skinny belt, and a statement heel to transform the look from day to night. I couldn’t resist styling with my favourite new Dior shades for a touch of metallic glam.

And there you have it - one dress, three ways! Which look is your favourite?

Move over black and grey, this season it's all about winter white...

The key to mastering this look, is to experiment with different textures and tones.

Sometimes, I like to mix off-white and white together to get a subtle contrast, but this time I've matched the colour of the knit and skirt, instead introducing some interest to the outfit with texture - a chunky cable knit and flowy asymmetrical skirt.

I also think layering winter white, is a great excuse to introduce bold, statement accessories - think different prints and colours. Today I've opted for classic leopard heels.

A short while ago, my gorgeous friend Mel Carrero came to Melbourne, and of course we had to shoot together.

It was a super chilly, winters day in Melbourne, so naturally I felt compelled to whip on this vintage lace maxi dress, with splits up to there.

Despite the near freezing conditions, running around the back-streets of Fitzroy with Mel was an absolute pleasure.

All in the day's work.

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?

Yesterday, I shared with you some behind the scenes of my most recent trip to Tokyo.

True to form, I packed terribly for this trip - leather, sweaters and brogues - not realising just how warm summer in Tokyo is.

Left with nothing appropriate to wear for long days exploring the massive Tokyo city, I dashed into the nearest Zara and picked up this outfit to get me through the Tokyo heat.

Funnily enough - this has turned out to be one of my favourite outfits.

Easy, breezy and perfect for summer.
