 French Connection Chambray Jumpsuit, Jo Mercer Erika Platforms, French Connection Fold Over Clutch, Tiffany & Co Circle Pendant, Le Specs Noddy Sunglasses (similar style here), Pandora Heart Ring, Tiffany & Co Stacked Rings.

Let’s be frank, there’s no other fabric as effortlessly cool as chambray. Often mistaken for denim and worn more frequently in the form of a relaxed button up, I’m super excited to add a unique chambray flavour to my wardrobe with this French Connection chambray jumpsuit, aka my idea of summer’s little one-piece.

Despite being a mix of cool and casual, I love how this piece remains completely feminine in form with a structured bodice, sweetheart neckline and relaxed pant. The lightweight nature of the chambray offers a breathable fabric perfect for those steamy Brisbane temperatures. Best accessorised with a chunky platform like these Jo Mercer Erika heels and splash of metallics, seen in a two tone belt, jewellery and foiled French Connection clutch, I’m taking over summer with some serious swag.

Not the usual hangout that’s for sure, but Erin Smith Photography and I love the juxtaposition of girly meets grunge and this forgotten, graffiti covered alleyway makes the perfect backdrop. Capturing a summer that’s nothing if not imaginative….

St Frock Supernova Swing Dress, Jo Mercer Devious Heels, Marcs Handbag (similar style here), Sportsgirl Belt (similar style here).

Some mornings I wake up and dress myself according to my mood. Today I’m feeling bright, bubbly and exploding with energy, so naturally I gravitate toward a vivid lemon, black and white floral pattern, replicating the perfect sunny weather awaiting outside for me. So I’m wearing my inner aura on my…sleeve whilst showing off the summer themed new arrivals from St Frock! Ps, this dress is named Supernova- rather fitting isn’t it!

If I wasn’t immediately sold by the whimsical nature of the floral print, then this structured swing skirt would be a close second, as I am loving the playful movement of this silhouette!  And while we are on the topic of playfulness, this flirty shade of lipstick, Candy Yum-Yum by Mac is really just as much a treat for the eyes as it is for the lips! Too bad it’s not edible!

With a pair of platforms so comfy they should be called air walker, I’m in full flight, powering through my errands and window shopping (with the occasional sneaky purchase!) Photographer in tow, Erin Smith Photography and I are in search of some bright coloured locations to contrast against our sunny colour palette. Swapping our usual bright red wall for something a little cooler, this deep blue backdrop definitely has our attention. For now, you’ll find us chilling!

French Connection Cross Over Jumpsuit, Jo Mercer Devious Heels, Sheike Riviera Belt, Oroton Clutch (similar style here), Swarovski Sheena Earrings. 

There is no denying it; Amal Alamuddin is the most envied female right now. Aside from winning the heart of George Clooney and turning him from eternal bachelor to hubby status, she is a paragon of brains and beauty combined, with a wardrobe that can only be described as incredibly chic.

As much as I love bridal couture (and that Oscar de la Renta custom gown is particularly stunning), it is the two piece pantsuit by Stella McCartney that I’m lusting over. So much so, that recreating this timeless look was priority number this week.

This French Connection jumpsuit is the closest I have come to finding the most perfect streamline white ensemble. The draped v neckline and cinched waist creates a very flattering silhouette, while the relaxed pant adds some serious comfort factor. Eager to add a little monochrome sheik to this look, I have teamed this piece with a wide buckled belt and matching platform wedges. As I love fine detail, a simple Swarovski drop earring is seen as my only sparkle, excluding the glomesh panel on my favourite Oroton clutch.

With a bold, red kisser featuring my newest MAC addition, Ruby Woo, I’m ready to pout for any paparazzo that crosses my path. In this instance, it’s my girl Erin Smith Photography that’s pointing the flash in my direction, but a girl can dream yes?

…Who knows, I might attract a Clooney while I’m channeling Amal!

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.
