Classics: The Little Black Dress

Every girl needs a Little Black Dress. When given an invitation to an event and you don't know what to wear, your trusty LBD will be there for you to save the day. It's a fail safe plan that works every time.

Channelling Audrey Hepburn's character, Holly Golightly from the classic movie Breakfast at Tiffany's, the Little Black Dress is the epitome of femininity, elegance and grace. 


When I received my invitation to attend Cheryl Lin's LBD Project launch, the first thing that popped into my head was that I simply must wear an LBD. The dress that I chose to wear was designed by one of my favourite bridal Melbourne-based designers, Cathleen Jia.

This Dame Ava dress is part of Cathleen Jia's La Premiere collection. A while back, I had the pleasure of interviewing Cathleen Tan, the name behind the label (Click here to go directly to the interview).

This stunning LBD is made from the most exquisite silk satin and silk georgette. It features a handmade silk and lace bow and makes the perfect dress for any special occasion, be it weddings, events and date nights! This has to be the most comfy Little Black Dress I have ever worn!! I could wear it every day.















I'm really looking forward to attending the
relaunch of Cathleen Jia, including the unveiling of her new bridal collection Toujours. Blog post to follow, so stay tuned!

There was a lot of excitement yesterday when I discovered that my media accreditation for the LMFF was successful, so I'm thrilled to announce that I will be attending Paris Runway 7: Presented by Frankie Magazine. I'm really looking forward to seeing these designers showcase their new season collections, especially Karen Walker and Jolet! I'll give bring you all the details, right here on my blog!

Tickets for the LMFF are available from Ticketek now!

Wishing you a gorgeous weekend. We're lucky to be having a long weekend here in Melbourne. The weather has been so hot and I can't wait for it to cool down again!   


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. Check out ...

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! Yours in style, Suzi x  What I'm Wearing ODP Lillian pan...

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...
