If you’ve been on the gram lately, you’ll already know that my weekend consisted of new season cue, crowns and champagne as I co-judged Brisbane Racing Club’s Fashions on the Field at the James Boag Doomben 10,000 Races. Sitting alongside Brisbane’s most fashionable, Kelly Alderman of Hunt + Kelly, Mark Ferguson of Wil Valor and 2014 Miss World Australia Courtney Thorpe, I was on the look out for a winner with a bold sense of style, a clever touch of metallics and a killer pair of shoes. To see the well deserved winners, check out @brisbaneracingclub.

As for my little ensemble, the styling of this prestigious race day calls for a tailored with a touch of metallic dress code, so naturally I turned to my favourite label, Cue who specialise in perfectly tailored pieces. This gown features an opulent floral print in a wintery colour palette, and a luxe satin fabric. The asymetrical, off the shoulder neckline and boned bodice create a flattering, feminine silhouette, making this dress the perfect statement for a fancy occasion.

Channeling a regal vibe, I chose a beautiful Rose Gold Latex Crown from Melbourne based milliner Murley & Co. A delicate leafy texture is highlighted against the brushed, rose gold hue, creating an ethereal tone – a signature of Carla Murley’s craftsmanship. If you haven’t already become familiar with this millinery queen then I suggest you follow her gram.

Are there any Brisbane fashionista’s attending Ladies’ Oaks Day at Eagle Farm this weekend? How do you plan to rule Fashions on the Field? Leave me a little tip in the comments below!

We experienced our first of the chilly temps in Brisbane late last week, and I for one couldn’t be more excited! To celebrate, I’m bringing out the layers, starting with the must have item of the season: a Caramel Vest. Worn oh so casually with a pair of boyfriend jeans, or effortlessly thrown over a tunic, I’m ready to reveal my little tips and tricks to styling this staple, featuring new season Seduce.

1. Nothing contrasts against this colour, like a clean black canvas. Such a rich, pigmented colour should only be emphasised by a strong base colour – that’s why I turn to classic black.

2. Booties are always a great choice. No Autumn outfit is complete without a cheeky pair of ankle boots, so keep a peeper out for a versatile pair, like these black, block heeled babies.

3. Ties are optional. What I love about this particular vest is the optional tie, which completely changes the look of this piece. Wear open for a relaxed, casual vibe, or create a loose bow for a more polished, refined look.

4. Explore length. A 3/4 vest is a great way to explore different lengths, and emphasis clean lines. I find a shorter hemline helps to create the look of longer pins, which is a definite advantage for this 5 ft 2 fashionista.

I would love to hear how you would style this little number in the comments below! I’de also love for you to subscribe (via the menu) to my fortnightly style guide, for little tips and tricks, industry trends and sneaky previews to future posts! You know you want to…

Styling an all white outfit certainly sounds like an easy concept, would you agree? Yet, more often than not it can come across too stark, too coordinated and too (for lack of a better word) boring! Piece by piece, I’m adding more white garments to mix and match with to form a seriously sophisticated ensemble. Presenting my tips and tricks to styling an on point, all white getup.

1. Choose interesting silhouettes. The high neckline of this Talulah Shift Dress, instantly grabs the eye, creating a bold and sophisticated visual statement. I’ve also contrasted the floaty silhouette of this shift with a streamline blazer to create clean lines and balanced structure.

2. Your lip colour is everything! You may be working with neutrals, but there’s no better opportunity to inject some colour with a bold pout. I recommend something flirty and feminine, like this pinky peach hue, Gerard Cosmetics Ballet Slipper.

3. Sparkle with two tone accessories. Silver is probably the go-to metal when working with white, but a splash of gold adds some much needed warmth and vibrancy to an all white outfit.

4. Don’t be afraid to add black. Break up tonal dressing with some statement black accessories. Given that black comes from the same neutral colour palette, it won’t look out of place. I’m teaming my all white outfit with a basic black heel and matching cross body bag for a little extra edge.

Fashionista’s I would love to hear your tips and tricks for styling an all white outfit, so leave your thoughts below!

These past few weeks have simply flown by, (without much relief I might add), so I’m taking a moment to make the most of a riverside stroll. Naturally, I turn to a shift dress for some much comfort, and this little blue number brings a boho vibe.

Always trying to elongate the pins, I’m shuffling along in a hassle free heel, and believe it or not, these Jo Mercer Erasmus Heels are super comfy! Not to mention, their warm tan hue is very versatile against my colourful wardrobe!

Finally, nothing says casual chic like a effortless topknot, and this style is as low maintenance as it gets! Just a quick whip (minus the nei nei) and a couple of bobby pins and you’re ready to roll!
