Wearing White At Night

Up until only recently I had always thought of white as more of a day colour, due to it’s light and fresh aesthetic. With the exception of the time I purchased clogs, this has to be one of my most foolish, fashion faux pas. Get up to date with a blanc dress code, and see why you need a LWD (little white dress) as part of your evening wardrobe.

Whether you’re attending Diner en Blanc, or an intimate date with the bae, there’s no denying that a simple white frock looks incredibly striking against a starry sky. What I love about wearing white, is the endless versatility of styling such a neutral colour with options like monochrome, tonal, pastel or chrome.

As for me, I’m going for glam, by teaming this fitted Honey & Beau Isabella Dress with a pair of two-toned, open toe stilettos, a sequin encrusted clutch and a combination of gold and pearl jewellery.

While being a little more high maintenance than darker hues, I recommend in keeping to clear liquids like Cristal, and being very careful with your dinner etiquette. After all, earing your food on a crisp white canvas is never ok!

I’m having major 90’s flashbacks, seeing denim dresses back in style! If like me, you grew up as a 90’s child, you’ll remember teaming your denim frock with glittery jellies and transparent sunglasses – two absolute staples for the fashion forward decade.

Here’s a few little tips for styling this summer essential!

1. I’m noticing many denim dresses feature the off the shoulder design this season, which is perfect for those hotter Queensland temps. My biggest tip for this style, is to go light with the handbag – swap the tote for a petite cross body bag to drape gently over your shoulder.

2. Forget the jellies and the 90’s platforms, loafers and brogues are the summer footwear of choice! I’m loving just about anything from a perforated leather loafer, to a woven flatform. For something a little more feminine, you can’t go wrong with a espadrille or a block heel sandal.

3. Given the casual nature of this dress, you’ll want your hair and makeup to resonate the same effortless vibe, so try a relaxed style like tousled curls, or the trending wavy hair with straight ends. Totally obsessed with the latter!

4. For someone with sensitive eyes, I find sunglasses to be not only an absolute necessity, but a real talking point from a styling perspective. Now’s the time to invest in a classic, timeless style – like my trusty Karen Walkers. They have served me well in the last two years, and their tortoise shell frame is still on trend.

Miss Shop Dress (similar style here), Jo Mercer Rae Boot, Portmans Floppy Hat (similar style here).

There’s nothing quite as fresh, as the clean lines seen in a stripe print, especially when the print involves a classic, neutral colour scheme like navy and white. I’ve been living in this little number all season – having styled it with a denim jacket on particularly cool days, or leaving it to it’s own devices and teaming it with neutral accessories.

Of course it was the perfect choice on this particular morning, which called for coffee in the mid morning sunshine. Styling with a little pair of tan ankle boots and a matching floppy hat, I’m really loving it’s effortless, casual vibe and relaxed fit – the perfect weekend outfit!

Cooper St On My Own Long Sleeve Dress, Mimco Clutch, Wittner Otto Heels, Michael Kors Blair Pave Watch (similar style here).

I love an LBD as much as just about anyone, but my heart beats for shades of pink! Particularly pastel if we’re getting technical – but really any pink hue will do! So when I stumbled across this gorgeous wall, in my favourite suburb (New Farm) – I just knew that things were about to get a little…girly!

If there’s something else I love, it’s to get frocked up – I do it often and I do it well! That involves finding the perfect little number, and right now this Cooper St On My Own Long Sleeve Dress has me completely smitten! I’m not sure whether it’s the abstract, pastel print set against the dark background, or the tiered, ruffle sleeves, or perhaps both, but either way I’m having a special little moment while wearing it!

I’m teaming this dress with some luxe accessories, a sparkly little Mimco clutch that found it’s way to me this Christmas, and my favourite Michael Kors watch. Keeping my jewellery  at a minimum, I’m letting this dress speak for itself, as it’s far too fabulous to play second fiddle against OTT accessories.
