It comes at no surprise that there is much mixed emotion surrounding Valentines Day. Some people love to love it, others love to hate it and those that fall into neither category decide annually depending on their current relationship status. Being a single lady, I look forward to celebrating Valentines Day by spoiling myself- and no, I don’t mean by overindulging in Macaroons and sending myself flowers….. despite how delicious that does sound.

I never thought I would say this, but this year I’m staying clear of the cliches: goodbye pink, red, pastels and candy hearts. Instead, I’ll be styling a chic, minimalist ensemble, teaming an ivory sheer dress with a monochromatic print. Forget Teddy Bears and other plush animals, there’s nothing more adorable then this St Frock Christopher Blouse in heart print- certainly fitting for the occasion, don’t you agree?

To all my lovely followers, I wish you a beautiful St Valentines! May your day be as special as you. As for me I have the dream date… a sunset stroll along the jetty, scattering delicate rose petals with my two amazing dates: my darling photographers, Erin Smith Photography and Ghassani Swaryandini. What can I say… I’m a lucky girl.

As a final kiss, I present a little #bts video With Love, captured by Erin. Talk about multi tasking! Show some love this Valentines day and subscribe to The Blonde Silhouette’s Youtube channel and the channel of my talented photographer, ErinEopso….ex oh!

Warning: objects may be more dangerous then they appear. Behind this pink lipped smile is a fierce fashionista who’s allegiance is with the wolves.

It’s not everyday you stumble across amazing street art in Brisbane, but Fintan Magee’s “Pack Of Wolves” mural hunting the streets of West End escalates my heartbeat and makes me feel…dangerous. Behind the lens was the tasty little morsel, Erin Smith Photography, who captured my wild side, which was draped in a slinky LBD from St Frock. Relaxed in structure and with attention to detail seen in the cut-out panel and chain rope neckline, this piece is not only super comfy to wear but offers the perfect embellishment to a classic staple.

St Frock Urban Jungle Shift Dress, Jo Mercer Dice Heels, Skagen Classic Two-Tone Watch, Thomas Sabo Pendant (similar style here), Thomas Sabo Pearl Bracelet, Pandora Charm Bracelet, Pandora Heart Ring, Pandora Tourmalinated Quartz Ring, Tiffany & Co Heart Tags Earrings.

Animal print in pastel hues is definitely not a combination you expect to see  everyday- which is why I’m loving my new St Frock Urban Jungle Shift Dress. The weathered sandstone architecture might be a little matchy-matchy, but I find the similar colour palette brings out a warm quality in the styled look…That and the fact it was about a million degrees outside when it was taken.

Erin Smith Photography and I explored the most structurally interesting facets of the campus, all while making various references and comparisons to Hogwarts. It turns out you can’t always expelliarmus the wizard out of the woman.

Veronika Maine Floral Dress,  Oroton Archive Mesh Clutch, Oroton Metropolis Patent Belt, Jo Mercer Tanessa Heels (similar style here), Mimco Crystal Dome Studs (similar style here).

Now Miranda Priestly may have once famously said, “florals for spring…groundbreaking”, but this black and violet colouring adds a little drama to a floral print- don’t you agree?  Teaming with a classic black stiletto and hint of sparkle, like this Oroton Archive Glomesh Clutch, helps to transition this look from corporate daywear to happy hour. Cosmo please!

It seems Erin Smith Photography and I brought the rain and overcast weather to West End, as we swapped sunshine for shelter, and the West End Library offers a very picturesque backdrop. While there was no singing in the rain, these clear umbrellas certainly were a cute accessory.
