Outfit – Page 23 – The Blonde Silhouette

A Minnie Moment with Pandora

Portmans Lace Stripe Pencil Skirt (available at DFO Jindalee), Country Road Fringed T-Shirt, Wittner Rover Heels, Pandora Disney Minnie Pendant, Pandora Disney Minnie Cupcake Pendant, Pandora Starshine Stackable Ring, Pandora Starshine Solitaire Ring, Pandora Rounded Pave Eternity Ring, Pandora Alluring Brilliant Marquise Cut Ring, Pandora Open Heart Pave Ring, Pandora Hearts Stud Earrings.

Growing up I was totally obsessed with everything Walt Disney, and I’m happy to report that at 26 years of age, nothing much has changed! Upon hearing that Pandora were releasing a Disney Collection, I started thinking about styling the perfect #ootd to team my sequinned, Minnie Mouse ears from Disneyland with. Can you imagine how excited I was when these gorgeous little Minnie Mouse pendants arrived at The Blonde Silhouette HQ? Ladies, if you too love Disney and beautiful jewellery, then you must check out Pandora’s Disney Collection, and add a few pieces to the wish list. After all, Christmas is only a mere moment away!

With monochrome being such a timeless statement, I decided to keep things simple and chic (with a few bright red accents of course!) I came across this elegant Portmans skirt on one of my successful shopping trips to DFO Jindalee, and I instantly fell in love with it! As I love playing with multi texture, I have teamed this piece with a fringed top from Country Road – and I love the extra depth and dimension this combination creates.

Such a cute little outfit should never be wasted, so I headed to my local cinemas (sans ears) to see The Dressmaker with a girlfriend. I’de heard so much positive word about this motion picture and was eager to see if it lived up to it’s reputation, and I’m happy to report it most certainly did. Not only was Kate Winslet exceptional with her Aussie accent and Liam Hemsworth exquisite (*drools), the story line had real depth, intrigue and some fantastic moments. Not to mention the 1950’s fashion decade just gets me! Let’s just say, this movie is far more than just a “chick flick”, and is well worth a watch.

Of course my DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses made the experience even more enjoyable, giving my tired little eyes some long distance support, and allowing for a sharp, crisp viewing of the Aussie film. I’m finding with each wear I am amazed at how breathable and comfortable these lenses are, and then there’s the added bonus of their disposable nature. Now’s the perfect time to trial the DAILIES TOTAL1 technology, by visiting your local Optometrist. Otherwise, visit the website for deets!

Some days just call for a coffee..maybe even two, and where better to head than Manly’s little caffeine hotspot, Espresso Lane. A casual caffe latte calls for an outfit to match, so I’m keeping things understated and chic with my new Seduce Memphis Playsuit. This playsuit is the perfect summer staple, providing endless comfort with the cross over wrap style, low neckline and relaxed fit. With an abstract print in a blue, black and white combo, this little piece reminds me of the ocean, and naturally my next holiday… Bahamas anyone?

Today I’m also debuting my new time keeper from Marc Bale, available at The Peach Box. Featuring gold hardware, a black dial and a black leather band, I’m reminded how luxe this watch looks on the wrist. Teaming this piece with The Peach Box’s Roman Empress Bangle, I’m definitely feeling more royal draped in gold accessories.

Ivory, Off White & Cream: Summer’s Colour Palette!

Wish Focus Skirt, Piper Fringe Crop Top, Jo Mercer Ember Sandals, Samantha Wills Necklace (similar style here), Eminence Collection Classic Rose Gold Watch, Eminence Collection Anchor Bracelet, Prouds Rose Gold Studs (similar style here), Michael by Michael Kors Jet Set Cross Body Bag.

It doesn’t take a genius to spot that I have a bit of an obsession with neutrals at the moment, particularly within the “off white” category. With ivory, off white & cream outfits on high rotation, I’m finding the warmer tones more flattering on my fair skin than stark white – a realisation most porcelain beauties can relate to.

When it comes to the basics, I cannot go past a versatile skirt with a fitted form, and this Wish Focus Skirt definitely ticks the right boxes. To help out my lady friends, I’ve done a style comparison, finding some great alternatives to this piece, in slightly different cuts, patterns and pricing. I recommend this asymmetrical skirt, horizontal stripe split skirt, and this pencil skirt.

Because I love uniformity, I’m teaming my striped skirt with an ivory top to create a matched set. I’m loving the revival of fringing and have added three fringed finds to the wish list, courtesy of Shopbop: J.O.A. Fringe Crop, Emma Cook Mia Top, Rebecca Taylor Silk Fringe Crop Top.

For ivory, off white & cream outfits, I always accessorise with a deeper colour, and find the combination of rose gold and black leather, as seen in this Eminence Collection Timepiece a perfect choice. On my other wrist, I’ve added a bold, monochrome anchor bracelet, also from Eminence Collection, which introduces a subtle nautical theme. Keeping the rest of my jewellery simple, I’ve gone with a delicate Samantha Wills circular pendant, matched with rose gold studs.

Do you have a little tip for when styling ivory, off white & cream outfits? If so I’de love to hear it in the comments below. Here’s to an exciting summer ahead! x
