MBFW Outfit Day 5

LittleGracie dress, Betts shoes

I honestly didn't get much outfit photos while i was in sydney for fashion week. Charmaine quickly snapped these few on the last day in between shows but it was too bright and we were in such a rush that we didn't get many at all. (Apologies for my awkward squint and the horrible shadows across my face!)

As the last day was the day of the littlegracie collection show, it only seemed right i wear littlegracie. The gorgeous designer ebony dressed me for the day in this amazing piece right from her new collectiom! Parading around in it made me feel like i was reliving my prom, only this time it was much more fun! I wish i had gotten some better photos wearing it as these ones don't do it enough justice. Hopefully the dress speaks for itself though :)

Happy wednesday everyone!

Lately life has been a bit of a whirlwind. Between working and blogging it's nice to get a little time to relax and unwind. Evening walks along the beach always seem to be the perfect ending to a busy day and with winter nearly upon us here in australia, theres nothing i like more than layering myself in cosy jumpers, heading to the beach and disappearing into a good book. There's something about the sound of the ocean that i just can't get enough of. Listening to the waves crashing is perhaps one of the most soothing sounds one could ask for. 

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, i promise an outfit post is coming soon :)

Navy

Asos jumper, Storets skirt, Thrifted shirt, Zara coat and bag

I honestly think charmaine and i spent a good half of our time in sydney browsing the rails at zara. The first day we arrived, we were quite literally shopping in the sydney cbd within 2 hours of our plane landing. This navy coat was one of my finds of the week and i could not be more in love with it. I never usually go for anything in navy blue so i surprised myself a little by buying it. I particularly love the high neck, theres something so classic about it. Prepare to see a lot more of this number, winter hasn't even begun yet. 

Hope everyone is enjoying their week!

The Corner Shop

If you are ever in sydney, please make sure you take the time to visit 'The corner store'. Charmaine and i managed to squeeze in quite a bit of shopping time during mbfw and it only seemed right we venture into this little space of retail heaven. With beautiful decor and even more beautiful labels, i quite happily wandered around losing all track of time. If i ever owned a store, this is what it would look like. 

Looking back, i really should have got that pink knit.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Melbourne Florals

Asos floral jacket & shorts, MinkPink blouse, Zara bag, Wittner boots 

On friday past, i flew to melbourne for australia's first national blogger conference 'fashionopolis'. Organised by nuffnang, the event was created to bring bloggers from all over australia together. Huge thanks to nuffnang for organising my trip, it was a wonderful event and i am so happy to have been there! A more photo heavy post will follow soon :) 

I managed to squeeze in a couple of quick outfit photos just to show you all what i wore on the day. I actually wore this floral suit briefly during sydney fashion week, but never got any photos of it. Melbourne was a little chilly so the collared blouse was a good choice in terms of layering and the black tights and boots were an obvious choice in terms of staying warm! Melbourne was indeed freezing, but hopefully i will be back there sooner rather than later. Some exploring is definitely in order.

Ooh and don't forget to enter my giveaway below for the chance to win an amazing LOVE dress!

LOVE Giveaway

Skirt c/o Love, Asos leather jacket, Thrifted jumper, Zara bag, Jeffrey Campbell lita's c/o freepeople

It's a very good day when you receive an amazing floral skirt in the mail. And it is an especially good day when you have it delivered at work!! Nothing makes a work day that little bit more tolerable than receiving pretty clothes right? You can imagine how excited i was when i pulled this gorgeous piece of heaven out of the parcel. I think with winter coming i feel the need to wear florals more than in spring. I  love the idea of layering lightweight and flowy materials with heavy wools and knits. There is something about the contrast in textures that i love. Wearing a skirt that is lightweight and floral is so typical in summer but throwing it over woolly tights in winter just seems a bit more exciting! Thank you LOVE for creating the perfect floral skirt.

Just some instagram snaps i took during my time at mbfw. Apologies for all of the food photos, i actually can't believe they outrun the fashion/outfit related ones. Kinda embarrassing!!

This week has been pretty full on, i feel as if i haven't stopped since coming back from sydney last weekend. With working during the week and flying out to melbourne last night for nuffnang's fashiononopolis conference, i really haven't had the time to sit back and recuperate. It's a 4 hour flight to melbourne and i came back tonight so it's been a bit of a rush! The event was wonderful though and i am so thankful to have been a part of it! I will be posting about it very soon so keep an eye out. Hope everyones well. I'm off to bed, goodnight all!
