Something Blue

St Frock Tell Me More Polka Dot Skirt, Kookai Berlin Contrast Tee, Wittner Kurta Heel, Oroton Glomesh Clutch (similar style here), Swarovski Sheena Earrings, Michael Hill Amber & White Cubic Zirconia Ring.

If you couldn’t already tell, I’m a girl who LOVES her pastels. From baby pink to powder blue, a soft pastel colour palette really speaks to my style psyche, while complimenting the pink tones in my fair skin.

There’s a little retro undertone seen in the current spring trends, with the structure of a 50-60’s swing skirt making a comeback. With this in mind, I was delighted to see St Frock combine my love of pastels, print and structure to produce a gorgeous polka dot print midi swing skirt – ticking the boxes of modest and playful at the same time!

Pairing with a fresh white mesh top from Kookai and a hint of gold seen in my accessories, I have crafted a little Sunday brunch outfit, perfect for a sunny spring day. Don’t mind my photographer, Erin Smith Photography and I hitting pause on the shutter to enjoy a macaron and rose tea.

Hey there D’Lilac!

St Frock Lilac Knit, Sussan Summer Linen Pant, Jo Mercer Erika Platforms, Le Specs Noddy Sunglasses, Thomas Sabo Pendant Key (similar style here), French Connection Silver Clutch, Pandora Amethyst Ring.

As a tropical summer season steadily approaches, I’m finding myself more and more drawn to a fresh white colour palette. Not usually a comfort dresser, I have been obsessing over a white wide-leg pant for some time now, for a chic yet casual wardrobe staple. This light linen fabric is perfect for the warmer weather here in Brisbane, not to mention it feels as though I’m wearing nothing but a silky pair of Peter Alexander pjs- otherwise perfect to relax in.

For a second season I am living in my Jo Mercer Erika Platform, which becomes the perfect accessory to the white on white ensemble! If there’s any girls out there resisting the platform look, you really are missing out! Yes it’s a chunky style but surprisingly they are super flattering given the mega height they give.

Savouring the last little knitwear addition to my wardrobe, I’m pulling out a St Frock pastel roll neck, in keeping with the casual theme of today’s #ootd. This soft shade of lilac is just divine especially when teamed with a thick stripe print, then again I can always count on St Frock to deliver the goodies.

A brisk little walk along the esplanade with Erin Smith Photography ended a casual Tuesday. With one beautiful sunset and a disappearing tide, we certainly felt the way of the bay! All that was missing, was a chilled chorus of “Hey There Delilah.”

The Breeze Caught My Kimono

Pictured: Flocksy The Breeze Caught My Kimono Scarf

In the full swing of spring, I’m embracing multi tones of pink, pastels and florals…groundbreaking, I know! An extension of the cherry blossom print seen in The Wind Whipped My Canopy scarf, this silky statement by Flocksy paints a pale blue sky, scattered with floating cherry blossoms, illustrated by Sharon Hendy-Moman.

Paying tribute to my favourite colour, I have clashed three different shades of pink: pastel, fuchsia and electric, into a mishmash of girly meets glam. Whipping out my treasured, vintage find, a retro high-waisted Harry Who skirt, with a featured split and adorning buckles, I’m playing the conservative lady card of the season celebrating a great midi length. Tucking in a soft sheer top and accessorising with a pair of metallic pumps, I’m ready to start my girly day with a deluxe manicure before a spot of gelato with the girls.

With a ladylike garden stroll, parasol in hand, Erin Smith Photography and I present the last part of the Flocksy spring lookbook to complete the oriental story. Starting down the garden path, it is time to click my metallic pink heels and return to The Blonde Silhouette HQ. But be warned my pretties, this is not the last you’ve seen of Flocksy! We’ll keep you posted, @theblondesilhouette @erinsmithphoto and @flocksyfashion.

The Wind Whipped My Canopy

Pictured: Flocksy The Wind Whipped My Canopy Scarf

Continuing my new found adoration for silk scarves, I’m adoring this perfect cherry blossom print by Sharon Hendy-Moman, seen in my Flocksy limited edition scarf, as it floats gently in the afternoon breeze. Featuring decadent shades of pink and cherry red, this piece reminds me of the fragrant beauty that is the blossoming season of spring….if only we too could celebrate a Cherry Blossom Festival much like Japan!

Originally, I intended to style this scarf in an all white ensemble, touching upon the white on white trend that is seriously on point this season. However, with such a soft pink base, I was worried this piece would be lost against such a similar shade. So goes my decision to swap the stark white for a touch of monochrome. Teamed with a simple black stiletto and bright red lip, this look makes a classic statement, perfect for after five cocktails with the girls.

Part two of the Flocksy spring lookbook, captured by Erin Smith Photography, ends on a dreamy note, with the sun setting on the quaint little bridge nearby and the afternoon breeze kissing both my rosy cheeks…

…And while we are on the subject, why not send some love and kisses to the Flocksy Facebook Page and Instagram. With a final Flocksy feature to come, you won’t want to miss any of the magic in this collection.
