60's mod

You know the saying, 'A change is sometimes as good as a holiday'? Well, I have been feeling for quite some time now, that I really need a change; a change of hairstyle, that is.




As you can see, I now have brand new bangs and I absolutely love them! It was the best thing I ever did and if you have been contemplating doing the same, I highly recommend that you do it too.

For Mother's Day, my husband and I invited our mums over for a seafood BBQ. The weather in Melbourne was actually really freezing today. In fact it was only 14 degrees Celsius! What this type of weather calls for is warm cashmere.

I bought this cashmere dress a couple of months ago from Eugenie Cashmere and I have been saving it for a rainy day. So it was the perfect companion to keep me warm!   












I love bright colours and I especially love the colour-blocking in this dress, which is quite reminiscent of the mod-style dresses from the 60's. 

Orange has made quite a come-back this season , which I think is fabulous! During the cooler months, a splash of Le orange brightens up grey skies.

How has your weekend been treating you? Have you been doing anything exciting of late? Next week, I will start writing student reports, which is always a long & arduous task. A weekend catching up with our friends will be the perfect reward for a busy week.

Please leave a comment below! I'd love to hear from you.

Yours in style,

What I'm wearing: Eugenie Cashmere dress, Repetto heels, Levante 50 denier black matt opaque tights.

    I think the bangs are perfection on you! And that colour block dress is incredible!

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

Ballistic for Bally

I have always loved Bally , especially their shoes. They're made with the softest, luxurious leather I have ever worn. Bally were my first ever pair of high end designer shoes and they fit like a glove. So this post is going to be dedicated to one of the most prestigious design houses and their amazingly comfortable, chic shoes.  Here's some of my favourites from Bally's new S/S '12 collection: Which is your favourite? I love the classic black Otty-Crest pump and the teal and navy Palda wedge sandals. Have a great week! Mine will be an interesting one. I finish teaching for the term this coming Wednesday and go on a staff retreat to Creswick for the rest of the week. I'm looking forward to breathing in the crisp, clean country air!
