Lulu & Rose Fine Line Printed Culotte, Lulu & Rose Genoa Inverted Hem Top, Stefan Xmas Bag, Rubi Shoes Jamieson Lace Up Heels, Royal Aquamarine Hepburn Sunglasses, Pandora Aquamarine Birthstone Ring, Pandora Rock Crystal Birthstone Ring,  Pandora Garnet Birthstone Ring, Pandora Carnelian Birthstone Ring, Thomas Sabo Key Pendant (similar style here).

It’s so easy to style a chic ensemble when you are working with a monochromatic colour palette. Lately I’ve been drawn to pieces that feature a black on white print, as they create a light and airy aesthetic. So naturally these high waisted, striped culottes have been on high rotation. Did I mention the vertical stripe creates the illusion of longer legs? #instantpins for the win! Teaming with an asymmetrical top in the same tonal colour, I’m vibing effortless with relaxed structure, lightweight and breathable fabrics and killer accessories.

Speaking of killer accessories, I have been gifted the perfect tote for summer thanks to Stefan. With a two tone design and generous size, this bag is housing all my must-haves for summer – makeup, sunscreen, bikini and beach towel (for beach trips) and my current read (The Carrie Diaries). This fab tote is part of a Stefan Xmas Special, where you can fill it up with your favourite haircare products and take 50% off the total! Celebrate a season of healthy locks and fab hair by visiting your closest Stefan or shop online by clicking here!

Now that I’m finished my christmas shopping, I’m taking some much needed down time, starting with a walk on the water front, followed by a casual dinner date with the girls. Since I’m taking in the sunset and salty air I thought it best to pop in my DAILIES TOTAL1 Water Gradient Disposable Contact Lenses for a little extra support this afternoon/evening. Allowing for longer wear, these lenses keep my eyes hydrated and itch free, giving me #morecontacttime from day to night! Curious to test out these lenses? Make sure you pop into your closest optometrist to discuss your trial, or visit morecontactime.com for more deets!

Portmans Lace Stripe Pencil Skirt (available at DFO Jindalee), Country Road Fringed T-Shirt, Wittner Rover Heels, Pandora Disney Minnie Pendant, Pandora Disney Minnie Cupcake Pendant, Pandora Starshine Stackable Ring, Pandora Starshine Solitaire Ring, Pandora Rounded Pave Eternity Ring, Pandora Alluring Brilliant Marquise Cut Ring, Pandora Open Heart Pave Ring, Pandora Hearts Stud Earrings.

Growing up I was totally obsessed with everything Walt Disney, and I’m happy to report that at 26 years of age, nothing much has changed! Upon hearing that Pandora were releasing a Disney Collection, I started thinking about styling the perfect #ootd to team my sequinned, Minnie Mouse ears from Disneyland with. Can you imagine how excited I was when these gorgeous little Minnie Mouse pendants arrived at The Blonde Silhouette HQ? Ladies, if you too love Disney and beautiful jewellery, then you must check out Pandora’s Disney Collection, and add a few pieces to the wish list. After all, Christmas is only a mere moment away!

With monochrome being such a timeless statement, I decided to keep things simple and chic (with a few bright red accents of course!) I came across this elegant Portmans skirt on one of my successful shopping trips to DFO Jindalee, and I instantly fell in love with it! As I love playing with multi texture, I have teamed this piece with a fringed top from Country Road – and I love the extra depth and dimension this combination creates.

Such a cute little outfit should never be wasted, so I headed to my local cinemas (sans ears) to see The Dressmaker with a girlfriend. I’de heard so much positive word about this motion picture and was eager to see if it lived up to it’s reputation, and I’m happy to report it most certainly did. Not only was Kate Winslet exceptional with her Aussie accent and Liam Hemsworth exquisite (*drools), the story line had real depth, intrigue and some fantastic moments. Not to mention the 1950’s fashion decade just gets me! Let’s just say, this movie is far more than just a “chick flick”, and is well worth a watch.

Of course my DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses made the experience even more enjoyable, giving my tired little eyes some long distance support, and allowing for a sharp, crisp viewing of the Aussie film. I’m finding with each wear I am amazed at how breathable and comfortable these lenses are, and then there’s the added bonus of their disposable nature. Now’s the perfect time to trial the DAILIES TOTAL1 technology, by visiting your local Optometrist. Otherwise, visit the website for deets!

St Frock Riviera Shirt Dress (similar style here), Wittner Alice Heels, Pandora Lace Botanique Ring, Pandora Lace Botanique Pendant, Quay Eyewear Gold Steel Cat Sunglasses,

I’m having a love affair with my new St Frock Riviera Shirt Dress, otherwise known as summer’s little essential! With a intricate, European inspired print in a white and blue colour palette, this little number is light and airy, providing the perfect foundation to a casual getup.

Easy to style, and even more so to wear, I would recommend teaming this piece with a two-tone neutral heel or espadrille sandal. After all, you cannot wear a shirt dress without taking a stylish stroll in the sunlight. These little Wittner stilettos will be on rotation this summer, as I pull out the pastels, florals and all white outfits!

In keeping with the European twist, I’ve styled my new clutch that mummy bought me back from her holiday to Italy; a fashionable find in the Isle of Capri. A clash of prints is seen with the two contrasting patterns, however the unified white and tan tones keep things balanced.

A splash of gold seen in my accessories add the final touch to this chic ensemble. Now I just need to plan my own European adventure. Ciao! x
