Stefan, Summer Totes & Sunsets!

Lulu & Rose Fine Line Printed Culotte, Lulu & Rose Genoa Inverted Hem Top, Stefan Xmas Bag, Rubi Shoes Jamieson Lace Up Heels, Royal Aquamarine Hepburn Sunglasses, Pandora Aquamarine Birthstone Ring, Pandora Rock Crystal Birthstone Ring, Pandora Garnet Birthstone Ring, Pandora Carnelian Birthstone Ring, Thomas Sabo Key Pendant (similar style here).

It’s so easy to style a chic ensemble when you are working with a monochromatic colour palette. Lately I’ve been drawn to pieces that feature a black on white print, as they create a light and airy aesthetic. So naturally these high waisted, striped culottes have been on high rotation. Did I mention the vertical stripe creates the illusion of longer legs? #instantpins for the win! Teaming with an asymmetrical top in the same tonal colour, I’m vibing effortless with relaxed structure, lightweight and breathable fabrics and killer accessories.

Speaking of killer accessories, I have been gifted the perfect tote for summer thanks to Stefan. With a two tone design and generous size, this bag is housing all my must-haves for summer – makeup, sunscreen, bikini and beach towel (for beach trips) and my current read (The Carrie Diaries). This fab tote is part of a Stefan Xmas Special, where you can fill it up with your favourite haircare products and take 50% off the total! Celebrate a season of healthy locks and fab hair by visiting your closest Stefan or shop online by clicking here!

Now that I’m finished my christmas shopping, I’m taking some much needed down time, starting with a walk on the water front, followed by a casual dinner date with the girls. Since I’m taking in the sunset and salty air I thought it best to pop in my DAILIES TOTAL1 Water Gradient Disposable Contact Lenses for a little extra support this afternoon/evening. Allowing for longer wear, these lenses keep my eyes hydrated and itch free, giving me #morecontacttime from day to night! Curious to test out these lenses? Make sure you pop into your closest optometrist to discuss your trial, or visit morecontactime.com for more deets!

MBFF Brisbane QC Bridal Show

George Wu closing the runway

Every time I watch a bridal show, I am always mesmerised by the dreamy, cascading fabrics of tulle, silk, satin and lace, as they delicately float down the runway. It’s like watching angels descend from heaven…only these angels are swapping their robes for couture – smart move I say!

My lovely photographer Erin and I were treated to front row seats to the MBFF Brisbane QC Bridal Show, courtesy of our friends at Azahara Wines. The show itself was spectacular, featuring breathtaking designs by Elizabeth De Vara, Paul Hunt, George Wu, Jack Sullivan Bridal, Brides Desire by Wendy Sullivan, Alter Ego Brisbane and Jordana Regan Couture.

One thing I loved about this show, was that the designers really pushed the boundaries of typical wedding couture, showcasing new silhouettes like the wedding jumpsuit, cropped bodice and skirt combination and capes. It may not be traditional, but as I look back at my highlights from the runway, I can’t help but think how amazing it would be to say “I Do” in a jumpsuit!

Presenting my favourite gowns from the runway.

MBFF Brisbane Myer SS16 Show

The 10th anniversary of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane kicked off with a bang, as Jennifer Hawkins opened the Myer Spring Summer 16 Show, powering down the runway in a stunning Alex Perry lace pencil dress. The face of Myer was accompanied on the runway by Myer ambassador Kris Smith, who looked chiselled and dapper in his tailored M.J Bale suit.

Like any fabulous runway event, the front row was filled with fashion A-listers including Alex Perry, Adrian Norris and Edwina Robinson of Aje, Emma and Amy Sheppard and this season’s Bachelor evictee Jasmine Brown.

This show was my favourite from the week, as it showcased Myer’s new Spring Summer 16 collection from the top Australian designers including Alex Perry, Tony Maticevski, Aje, Acler, Cozi, Cue & more. If there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s that I’ll be hitting up Myer to snap up my favourite pieces before they sell out.

The Monochrome Midi

Chasing Kate by St Frock Heather Skirt, French Connection Sheer Top (similar style here), Jo Mercer Jagger Heels, Swarovski Necklace (similar style here), Fossil Bevel Glitz Bangle, Fossil Rondel Wire Bracelet, Prouds Rose Gold Studs (similar style here).

Some pieces you come across are meant for a special occasion. These said pieces have a certain element, a statement if you will that simply says, yes I’m fabulous! And this full circle, monochrome floral St Frock skirt is one of them.

There’s something so very feminine about the midi length and I find it compliments just about any stature. Don’t believe me? Well, I’m a petite 163cm fashionista, lacking long pins, who still finds herself strutting in this gorgeous length. Embrace the longer hemline and you’ll never look back!

I’m pairing this monochrome print back with a simple, sheer blouse to keep the focus on this gorgeous midi. Of course I cannot resist a little sparkle seen in my favourite metal, rose gold. An understated black stiletto, keeps within the timeless nature of this look, making an otherwise perfect outfit for a dinner date. Bon appétit mon cheri!
