2012

Happy new year to you, my wonderful readers! How did you spend the first day of 2012? I helped supervise my husband as he started putting together our new BBQ pergola out the backyard. 

Earlier on during the day, we went for a drive to our local hardware store. While my husband went looking for the bits and bobs he needed, I browsed the garden centre and chose a beautiful Tuscan pot and yellow frangipani to plant inside of it. It's going to look amazing in our tropical garden!

Our weather has been very summery lately and today was no exception. In Melbourne, it was yet another scorcher at 35 degrees Celsius!

The coolest and cutest dress I own is my Odd Molly chemise. You can wear it over jeans, on its own during a hot day like today, or as a nightie. 





A lover of grey, I had to have this and the Swiss embroidery and lace makes this garment such a sweet choice. The embroidered rose on the back of the chemise is divine.






Later on in the day, I took a break from handing things to my handyman hubby and frolicked in the garden, enjoying the balmy evening of Melbourne. And as I sat, I had a wonderful feeling inside of me that this year was going to be an amazing one. I felt it in my heart.

 



I would like to take this opportunity to warmly wish you a beautiful new year. Thanks so much for all of your continued support and for taking an interest in my blog. May you have a wonderful 2012! 

Yours in style,

What I'm Wearing: Odd Molly embroidered/lace chemise made and designed in Sweden.

gelati in the gardens

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!  For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette. Check out

I love miu mui

My absolute favourite international designer has to be mui mui . I find myself falling in love again and again, with each new season collection. Muiccia Prada's label is fun, feminine and fabulous!  We're really lucky to have a mui mui store in Melbourne actually. For anyone who has ever been to Chadstone Shopping Centre, you would know it is the fashion Mecca for anyone looking for high-end designer clothing and accessories. Every single time I go to Chadstone, without fail, I pay a special visit to mui mui. I know mui mui garments, shoes, and accessories are on the more expensive side, but a girl can dream right? There's just something extremely appealing to me that keeps me coming back season after season. Now to save up for a piece to call my own some day...            Do you have a high-end international designer who you really enjoy? Who is it and what makes them so appealing to you? Enjoy t

sandy liang fall/winter '22

It's been some time between posts as I have been waiting for something to inspire me. So when one of my favourite designers, Sandy Liang, released the look book from her new Fall/Winter '22 collection, I was so excited, that I decided to edit these looks into ten of my favourites. Sandy Liang stays true to her aesthetic each season. Like previous collections, there are hints of Marie Antoinette and Ballet. The way Sandy Liang fuses the two together is amazing. I am drawn to anything to do with ballet, so, of course, I love this collection! My favourite pieces are the cotton dresses with bow detailing, the trench coat dress, camel corduroy skirt pants and layered knitwear. So wearable, but whimsical in a very grown-up kind of way. Pure genius! Can't wait for the collection to land in Australia. Which are your favourites? Yours in style,  Suzi x Photos by  @zorasicher  c/o Sandy Liang NY
