Craving: Jil Sander

I was fortunate enough to spend several hours in the fabulous Rokk Ebony salon today. Whilst my tresses were getting a pampering, I browsed through numerous style magazines. As I turned each page, I saw the same old same old clothing-prints, pastels, peplums etc...until, at last, something really caught my eye. It was an outfit from Jil Sander's Spring/Summer 2012 collection.

Here's why Jil Sander is on my craving list: Crisp, clean lines, fresh white, feminine silhouettes, precise detailing, minimalism at its best. What's not to love?

My hubby and I have been having quite a hectic weekend organising everything for our road trip in a week's time. It's exciting, but a bit stressful; trying to ensure we have everything done before our trip. Working full time hours doesn't leave much time to do everything!! I ran some errands today after getting my hair done and tomorrow I will attempt to begin a Spring clean of our humble abode.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, gorgeous peeps!

Yours in style,

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.

Olga De Polga

Melbourne based designer Olga de Polga is renowned for their use of colour and vibrant patterns. I really enjoy adding a pop of colour when I style outfits, so if you love colour, you are bound to find something fabulous. On my recent visit, I picked up two pairs of Lillian pants, a new style to ODP, in both pink and caramel. These colours go so well with other pieces in my wardrobe. Style tip: I will not add anything to my wardrobe if it doesn't go with other pieces, so I am very particular when choosing a new piece to add to my collection. The cords fit really well, sitting at mid-waist and fall at the perfect length. The corduroy fabric is soft and feels so cosy, so perfect for Winter here in Melbourne! Have you visited Olga de Polga? If so, what are your favourite pieces? If you haven't been in store yet, make sure you do so soon, because some styles are selling out really fast. Have a great rest of the week!

Grace Kelly: Style Icon

Some of you may know already that I recently went on a country girls' getaway with my mother to Bendigo to view the Grace Kelly: A Style Icon exhibition. I am so thrilled that I did! It was simply amazing. The package I purchased was the Country Girls' Getaway, which included one nights accomadation at the City Centre Motel (4 star), breakfast, in-house Grace Kelly Movies, plus 2 x tickets to the exhibition. The special pack I received upon check-in, which included a terrific shopping and dining guide, special discounts and maps. The exhibition was held at the Bendigo Art Gallery. The session was timed by the hour to prevent the influx of visitors, which I felt worked really well. There was plenty of room and I didn't feel like I needed to hurry up, so instead, took my time, taking in every detail. I could have spent all day looking at every single minute detail of each and every one of the stunning gowns that adorned this beau...
