Whimsical in White

I don't have many dresses in my wardrobe, but with Brisbane's summer heat, I was in desperate need of something light, loose, and airy, and this cute white dress from Nasty Gal was perfect.

Like it was meant to be, the dress arrived in the mail on the same day as these chunky white leather sandals from Windsor Smith which I'd been eyeing-off for a while. I've been wearing my black Vagabond sandals almost daily so I thought I should find myself a white equivalent for summer, and Windsor Smith's 'Deed' sandals were a near perfect match.

My marabou earrings have of course hardly left my ears since I made them. They're just so cute and fluffy!

I felt super playful and summery in all white!

MBFF Outfit

Last night I headed in to the city to see the emerging designers group show at Brisbane's 

Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival. 

It was a great night showcasing the talents of up and coming Brisbane designers and the perfect opportunity to debut my new Josh Goot purchase!

My MBFF Emerging Designers Show Outfit:

Batman mesh crop from Lazy Oaf (old season)

Josh Goot marble rose A-line skirt in white from Joy Hysteric

Vagabond Dioon chunky sandals in black from Urban Outfitters

N3PTUN3 leather tassel earrings in white from The Fleet Store

'Impressionist' bag in clear with white tassels from Oliver

OOTD: Iridescent Bomber

Finally I don a bomber jacket!

In keeping with the current sports luxe trend, bombers are the in-thing in outerwear this season. 

I was definitely skeptical at first; no matter your figure, it seems hard to find one that flatters. 

Luckily the sheer factor is here to keep us looking stylish without making us look extra chunky.

 This bomber also combines another two of my favourite trends at the moment - dazzling iridescent fabrics, and white, the colour of the season. I'm in love with the gorgeous iridescent shimmer of greens,
golds, and blues that you see when the sun hits it, and it has a brilliant lightness to it.

I'm wearing: Sheer bomber jacket from Front Row Shop, black lycra cropped roll-neck tank from Glassons, vintage floral pants, silver skeleton pendant from Piercing Planet, and white flatform sandals from Topshop.

OOTD: Harry's 21st

Me and Jacob.

This past Saturday night I celebrated my friend Harry's 21st birthday at The London Club in Teneriffe. 

The dress code was cocktail so I was excited to finally have something to dress up for! 

I'd just splashed some cash on this gorgeous Sara Phillips Iris Skirt that I'd been lusting after, for what felt like an eternity, since I first saw the fabulous Fabliha sporting it a few months back, so this seemed like the perfect occasion for it to make its debut. 

I wanted my freshly dyed hair and red lips to really stand out so I stuck to black and white, teaming it with a plain white button-up, my black pointed-toe heels from Yesstyle, and my new transparent Impressionist bag by Oliver.

Up until now, I had never been a fan of boleros, but daaaaamn, girl knows what's going on. 

Having fun with my girl Hattie who looked super fab in all black with a cheeky peek-a-boo.

I've been totally snowed in by uni work lately and Saturday night was a much needed break. Thankfully exams are almost over so hopefully i'll be able to get some more posts out soon. 

Until then...

Back to Basics

So lately I've been thinking my wardrobe needs a little taming. For a while now I've been a bit (okay, a lot) obsessed with items that are a touch wacky - crazy cuts, crazy prints, crazy colours. If people were staring, my outfit was a success.

But in all the craziness, things got kind of messy. There's nothing wrong with looking a little out-there, but making sure there's a certain level of polish to an outfit makes all the difference.

To that end, I went in search of sophisticated yet simple designs - clean lines, blacks, whites, basics. And this is what I found.

Black Leather Pointed Toe Heeled Sandals from YESSTYLE

White Mesh T-Shirt with PU Stripe from ASOS

Black Long-sleeve Striped Mesh Crop Top by Glamorous from ASOS

As much as a love a good print clash, sometimes you just need simple pieces to pair with those outrageous prints so they can really pop. I'm looking forward to seeing what new life these basics can breathe in to my wackier wardrobe veterans!
