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.

The Tempest Drew Me Skyward

Pictured: Flocksy “The Tempest Drew Me Skyward” Scarf

This spring, I’m declaring the oriental flavour stamped upon my style passport, seen in the Japanese influence injected into my wardrobe, courtesy of the lifestyle brand Flocksy.

Imprinted onto a luxurious silk fabric is a magical evening told in rich colours of plum, fuchsia, coral and marigold. Two figures wearing traditional Japanese costume; kimono’s in varying shades of pink, are enjoying a mystical evening in the heart of the woods. Skilfully illustrated by artist Sharon Hendy-Moman, this decorative accessory is part of a limited edition silk scarf collection, exclusive to the Flocksy brand. With three distinct parts to the oriental story, this pieces introduces a vibrant start to the whimsical chapters that follow.

In terms of styling this piece, I have selected a neon pink base to allow for contrast against the intricate print. I find it important to still remain consistent in the colour palette, which is why I have chosen a similar shade of pink and encourage this rule when styling a printed scarf. Simple in structure, this dress creates a great foundation for the styling of a scarf, minimising the possibility of detracting from the statement accessory and allowing for versatility on how the scarf is tied. Aiming for a preppy undertone, I have fashioned my Flocksy scarf in a bow tie style, doubling the material around my neck before tieing a small bow with the remainder of the fabric. Teamed with an embellished nude pump and a vintage Vuitton, this look would create a little competition for Blair Waldorf, with the added bonus of a cultural style infusion!

A feminine and functional brand, Flocksy serves fashionista’s with chic, ready to wear clothing and accessories, featuring unique designs and high quality, luxurious fabrics. With the success of their seasonal scarves, I for one am excited to see an expansion of the collection, especially knowing that swimwear is on the cards! Ladies, if you would love to get your hands on this exclusive, limited edition print, then make yourself acquainted with the Flocksy Facebook page and Instagram.

In the mean time, enjoy the latest collaboration, brought to you by Flocksy x The Blonde Silhouette x Erin Smith Photography.

A special mention goes to my star photographer, Erin Smith Photography, who’s artistry captures the most perfect visual moments in their colourful and whimsical form.

Happily Ever After

Pictured: Jack Sullivan Bridal

The entire female audience sighed wistfully as Brides Desire by Wendy Sullivan opened the runway with an angelic, delicately laced wedding dress, accessorised with an embellished crown, for the Monili Jewellers Bridal Group Show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane. Saying I do to cascading fabrics; tulle, satin, silk and lace, the runway paraded seasonal trends in bridal beauty, showcasing the designs of Brides Desire by Wendy Sullivan, Bertossi Brides, Darb Bridal Couture, Rayner Lee, George Wu and Jack Sullivan Bridal.

Just a bouquets’ throw from the runway, my attention was diverted from the fairytale-like scene to the glistening diamonds, jewels and precious stones provided by Monili Jewellers, adorning the runway beauties. If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then I’ll happily take the friendship pledge to Monili Jewellers (for a 5 carat marquise diamond ring and matching pendant of course!)

While MBFF has seen its fashionable finale, I will continue to admire my favourite bridal moments captured by Erin Smith Photography, as for now this is the closest I have come to my happily ever after…man, rock, couture and Manolo Blahnik’s wanted!

Coordinating my outfit with the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane program, I wore a matching pastel pink set to the Monili Jewellers Bridal Group Show on Tuesday evening. Dressed head to toe in my favourite colour, I felt every bit the marshmallow princess among the sea of colour that was City Hall. On the runway it was all about wedding white, ivory, blush and champagne tones, but that post is on it’s way!

Prior to the show, my guest and paparazzi for the evening, Erin Smith Photography snapped my strictly pink ensemble in the shaded streets of Spring Hill. Arriving early together at the fashion HQ calls for a quick Tea Centre date before the calm meets the fashion storm, runway style.
