Rain, Hail, Shine.

St Frock Heather Lace Dress, Jo Mercer Erin Heel, Seed Heritage Felt Fedora (similar style here), Joshua Hall Favum Mesh Hoop, Joshua Hall Prism Band, Joshua Hall Watermelon Ring, Sportsgirl Studded Clutch (similar style here).

Breaking up the array of prints and colours that have been on constant rotation, I’m dressing head to toe in monochrome on a stormy day. Wearing so much colour on a daily basis, I often forget those fresh feels that come with the simplicity of a white dress and this St Frock number is no exception. It’s feminine, practical and the clean white lines allow for creative stylistic intentions. This time I’m experimenting with stark contrast between the light and dark colour palettes, combining multi textures seen in the lace, felt and studded features and incorporating an edgier undertone with the help of a fedora.

While most people would probably wrap up a shoot quicker than you can say “Manolo Blahnik” in this weather, Erin Smith Photography and I carried on, fulfilling our promise to bring fashion in rain, hail or shine. Not to mention, I’m totally hidden underneath the cutest transparent umbrella, an unintentional prop when the rain came down. I may look unfazed by the brewing storm but there’s no way I’m getting my hair and face wet….I guess that’s what you call commitment.

Lilac Skies

St Frock Lilac Skies Playsuit, Wittner Avril Heels, Joshua Hall Orbis Hoop, Joshua Hall Prism Band, Joshua Hall Watermelon Band.

There’s no two ways about it, I’m usually a very conservative dresser, perhaps you’ve noticed? Don’t get me wrong I love summer and bright prints, shorter lengths and cute bikini’s totally excite me! Plunging necklines, cut-a-way features however….well, that’s pushing it. Stepping outside of my little conservative bubble, I’m showing some skin in my St Frock Lilac Skies Playsuit. While the statement cleavage is a little risky for me, I do love the floral print on the white background, the panelled structure below the waistline and the pinky-purple colour palette. Not to mention, it gives me the excuse to show off my new Mac Lipstick, Lorde’s signature shade, Heroine.

Creating a storyboard of summer essentials seen in each little shoot, Erin Smith Photography and I are having a blast discovering Brisbane’s location hotspots. We are even more excited to share that we have been published in this month’s Fashion issue of Yolo Magazine, discussing “Spring’s Most Wanted”, a trend report including those lust-have pieces. Take a little time out and refresh for a stylish 5 minutes and read our article here (page 57). In the meantime, keep cool, keep hydrated and treat yourself to a popsicle or sorbet! Fresssshhhh…

Daisy Girl

Quirky Circus Daisy Girl Playsuit, Wittner Avril Heels, Oroton Clutch (similar style here), Oroton Cuff (similar style here), Swarovski Sheena Earrings.

I have the spirit of a sunshine queen as I wear my new Quirky Circus Daisy Girl Playsuit, in this balmy 30 degree Brisbane heat. Simply made for a cheeky summer getaway, this piece is perfect to romp around the beach in, as it’s lightweight fabric is very summer friendly. If that isn’t enough reason to have this piece in your life (and packed neatly into your suitcase), then imagine just how adorable this print will look in all those polaroid pictures! There certainly is a happy vibe that stems from a daisy and I cannot help but smile while wearing it!

Keeping things fresh, I’m enhancing the white colour palette with a classic white point, my favourite little Wittner bargain! Did I mention these little bad boys are on sale? Looking to keep accessories neutral and to a minimum given the vibrant print, I gravitate to my two favourite Oroton staples, a textured, tanned clutch and a tortoise-shell cuff; two timeless pieces that are constantly on rotation due to their versatility…

And speaking of versatility, how incredible is my girl Erin Smith Photography, that can take any location and transform it into an architectural art piece? Observe, a textured backdrop of this 6-foot suburban wall, otherwise now looking very “street style chic!” Keep up to date with our little fashion escapades via our Instagram @theblondesilhouette @erinsmithphotography as we will be bringing you something special and stylish this christmas!

Walk The Line

Quirky Circus by Minkpink Walk The Line Dress, Jo Mercer Erika Platform, Closet Chronicles CORA Necklace, Joshua Hall Voter Stud, Joshua Hall Watermelon Ring, Joshua Hall Prism Band.

Ironic isn’t it, that such a straight laced expression is the very name of a such a playful, flirtatious dress. Despite it’s rather transparent title, it is only fitting to style this piece with a carefree braided updo, bold lip and jewellery to match.

As I evaluate my wardrobe, a sea of geometric, animal, floral and colourful stories suggest that I am in fact, a real print enthusiast. Never discriminating against a bold, statement print, I have welcomed the horizontal stripe detailing of this Quirky Circus number into my summer wardrobe. Often thought of as an unflattering print, this petite horizontal pattern is the foundation to an extremely flattering fit and flare dress, complete with a pleated skirt- super girly indeed! With a collar that can be worn either buttoned up or down, I have chosen to accentuate the nautical undertone, styling the high neck with a pop of red, seen in this Closet Chronicles necklace. Ahoy matey’s!

As a little perk for my lovely followers, Closet Chronicles are offering a 20% discount for your next purchase. Expiring on November 30th, make sure you quote the discount code BLONDIE20, thank me later! Make sure you check out the website | Facebook | Instagram for the launch of a new seasonal collection coming very soon.

Keeping the shoes simple, I’m teaming this playful dress with a chunky, white platform, otherwise a sensible addition to my seaside stroll with Erin Smith Photography. Under the shade of an iconic bayside lighthouse, we watched a gorgeous sunset; the perfect end to a delightful, summers day!
