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

St Frock Meant To Be Lace Dress, Pandora Lace Botanique RingsPendant, Michael Kors Selma Medium Messanger Bag (available via Shopbop), Wittner Alice Heels.

A simple Sunday calls for a girly getaway, where I pack a light handbag (in this case my new Michael Kors) and escape busy Brisbane. For this little adventure, my friend Jess and I drove to the gorgeous Mt Tamborine, where we took in the beautiful views of the Hinterland, surrounded ourselves in fresh flora and enjoyed a leisurely high tea at Tea & Niceties.

For such a ladylike occasion, I dress accordingly, wearing a feminine, lacy number from St Frock, teamed with golden, floral gems from Pandora’s Magnificent Kingdom collection. As for my beauty routine, I’m keeping it sweet, simple with a hint of girl next door glam, with soft waves and neutral tones.

After spicy tea variations, with two sugar cubes and sweets, I’m swapping my seat for a gentle stroll throughout the garden, embracing a whimsical spirit and enjoying the delicate florals. The pinky tones of the setting sun, make a scenic backdrop for the drive home, ending a beautiful day. Bisous, bisous!

Chasing Kate by St Frock Heather Skirt, French Connection Sheer Top (similar style here), Jo Mercer Jagger Heels, Swarovski Necklace (similar style here), Fossil Bevel Glitz Bangle, Fossil Rondel Wire Bracelet, Prouds Rose Gold Studs (similar style here).

Some pieces you come across are meant for a special occasion. These said pieces have a certain element, a statement if you will that simply says, yes I’m fabulous! And this full circle, monochrome floral St Frock skirt is one of them.

There’s something so very feminine about the midi length and I find it compliments just about any stature. Don’t believe me? Well, I’m a petite 163cm fashionista, lacking long pins, who still finds herself strutting in this gorgeous length. Embrace the longer hemline and you’ll never look back!

I’m pairing this monochrome print back with a simple, sheer blouse to keep the focus on this gorgeous midi. Of course I cannot resist a little sparkle seen in my favourite metal, rose gold. An understated black stiletto, keeps within the timeless nature of this look, making an otherwise perfect outfit for a dinner date. Bon appétit mon cheri!

I’m having a flared sleeve affair with this gorgeous St Frock Wild Lover Dress! Not only am I loving the movement and volume seen in the flared sleeves…(which I will admit is perfect for some light hearted dancing), but the vibrant floral print and mini length lends itself to a gorgeous 70’s bohemian style…GROOVY!

If I was to really get into the 70’s spirit, I might team this number with a pair of platforms, of which I have many, given my 3 year retail stint in high end footwear. However, it’s still winter in Australia and a pair of ankle booties just screams luxe boho! I picked up these gorgeous tan leather heeled boots from Jo Mercer and I must say they have been an excellent investment shoe this season. I also notice Shopbop has an amazing selection of booties available in high quality leathers, suedes and nubuck. Just quietly these Sam Edelman Belinda Suede Fringe Booties are sitting at the top of my wish list and are about to give my credit card a workout…you feeling me girls?

You may notice, I’ve become a bit of sunglass fiend, but since I’ve discovered Royal Aquamarine eyewear, I cannot resist snapping up some frames. This particular pair I am sporting, feature a luxury tortoiseshell, vintage style frame which are supposedly super flattering for those like me with heart shaped faces. Love them as much as I do? Why not pick out a pair of Royal Aquamarine sunglasses and use my 20% discount, by entering the word ‘TBSROYAL’ at checkout? After all, nothing says cool girl like a pair of killer shades!
