The Blonde Silhouette

Infinity

Endless Rose Fringe Mini Dress (available at Shopbop), Wittner Rover Heels, Secret Shhh Minimal Infinity Necklace (available at Indooroopilly Shopping Centre), Michael Kors Blair Pave Watch (similar style here), Oroton Handbag (similar style here), Fossil Bracelet (similar style here), Royal Aquamarine Hepburn Sunglasses.

It’s been a very busy couple of weeks at The Blonde Silhouette HQ, but after a weekend of some much needed rest and relaxation, I’m back with black, wearing this new fringe mini dress from Shopbop. I love the playful movement seen in the tassels as they flutter in the gentle breeze of this spring sunset, it’s truly magical. If you haven’t already, incorporate fringing into your wardrobe, by means of a simple LBD, or the classic fringe miniskirt.

Of course, you may be momentarily distracted by the glistening sparkle of my new rose gold, Infinity Necklace from the new Minimal Collection at Secret Shhh. If like me you love delicate and dainty jewels, then you will adore the understated and sophisticated nature of the Minimal Collection, which highlights fine chains and statement pendants in gold, rose gold and silver metals. Of course this beautiful necklace is best teamed with a classic timepiece, like this Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch and bangle.

Now to make the most of this romantic sunset! x

Navy, Gold & a splash of PINK!

Hi There Karen Walker Navy Culottes (similar style here), Hi There Karen Walker Knit (similar style here), Jo Mercer Rae Ankle Boot, Quay Eyewear Steel Cat Eye Gold Shades (available at Pure Moda), Louis Vuitton Concorde Handbag, Swarovski Arrive Earrings.

It may be technically spring, but we’ve had some of the most overcast and chilly days in Brisbane as of late. It’s definitely worth having a light sweater at the ready and this Karen Walker embroidered knit is not only super cute, but super toasty!

Emulating a chic, “model off-duty” look, I’m teaming my relaxed knit with a pair of tailored navy culottes. These culottes have become a great basic for my corporate wardrobe, but also have the versatility to be worn dressed down in a casual ensemble, as I’ve done here.

Of course, no outfit is complete without a bit of bling, and if you follow me on Instagram you’ll notice I’ve developed a bit of an obsession with gold hardware. For this reason, I just HAD to add these Quay Eyewear Steel Cat Eye Shades to my sunglass collection! If I’m ever looking for a hot new outfit or killer accessories, I head straight to one of my favourite online boutiques, Pure Moda. Stocking a fabulous array of Australian and International designers including, Talulah Label, Elliatt, Keepsake The Label, Samantha Wills and more, Pure Moda is the perfect place for fashionista’s to snap up the latest trends at an affordable price! Don’t believe me? Why not visit the website and have a sneaky browse! You’ll thank me later 😉

Romance & Lace

Sheike Romance Lace Playsuit, Sachi Erica Heels (similar style here), Oroton Glomesh Clutch (similar style here), Bowerhaus Fleur Bracelet, Michael Hill Diamond Stud Earrings.

Rule One: You should never wear white to a wedding….

But no one said anything about wearing white to a bridal fashion show! I’m showing off my something new – an ivory, lace playsuit from Sheike, for the MBFF QC Bridal Group Show. I definitely love a statement playsuit and this delicately laced, long sleeve, plunging neckline number is the perfect combination of sexy and sophisticated.

Channeling my inner 60’s vixen, I’m reviving the Brigitte Bardot inspired bouffant and adding some much needed height to my petite 163cm frame. While some have killer pins, I have volumiser, a curling wand and a hundred bobby pins.

You might not believe me when I say this, but I’ve just added my first pair of nude strappy sandals to my growing shoe collection. I know, I’m definitely late to the party, but I really struggle when it comes to finding a nude shade that works on my porcelain skin. I can now call off the search party, because these Sachi Erica Heels are just the right balance between beige and blush, not to mention they are super comfortable, making them a perfect choice for a fashion event.

The only thing that makes me more excited then a fabulous pair of heels, is finding a empty, rustic shed to capture my #ootn (outfit of the night) with my photographer friend, Erin Smith Photography.

MBFF Brisbane QC Bridal Show

George Wu closing the runway

Every time I watch a bridal show, I am always mesmerised by the dreamy, cascading fabrics of tulle, silk, satin and lace, as they delicately float down the runway. It’s like watching angels descend from heaven…only these angels are swapping their robes for couture – smart move I say!

My lovely photographer Erin and I were treated to front row seats to the MBFF Brisbane QC Bridal Show, courtesy of our friends at Azahara Wines. The show itself was spectacular, featuring breathtaking designs by Elizabeth De Vara, Paul Hunt, George Wu, Jack Sullivan Bridal, Brides Desire by Wendy Sullivan, Alter Ego Brisbane and Jordana Regan Couture.

One thing I loved about this show, was that the designers really pushed the boundaries of typical wedding couture, showcasing new silhouettes like the wedding jumpsuit, cropped bodice and skirt combination and capes. It may not be traditional, but as I look back at my highlights from the runway, I can’t help but think how amazing it would be to say “I Do” in a jumpsuit!
