You're the centre of my universe







You're the centre of my universe, for without you, I would not be here, experiencing this wonderful life. You're my mother, my confidente, my best friend.

My mother, for the first time in my lifetime, will be celebrating Mother's Day in China. I'm sure she's having the best time ever! Words cannot express the gratitude and love I feel towards my mum. She truly is the centre of my universe.

Talking about the universe, I recently received this silk printed dress, which was a birthday gift. It is from Karen Walker's AW '13 Fantastique Magnifique collection.
I just love the print! It's my first dress in this cut and I'm sure it won't be my last. I love the fluidity of this style, which makes this look very feminine and pretty. The tie belt is ideal for cinching in my waist. I also really like the keyhole back, revealing a hint of skin. Karen Walker is so amazing!


What are you up to this weekend? We're going out tonight with friends to celebrate my birthday, which was last week. Tomorrow we'll be doing a bit of shopping. Of course, I'm looking forward to that! 

A very Happy Mother's Day for Sunday, to all the mums out there. Hope you get super spoiled!

A HUGE Happy Mother's Day to my mum. This post has been dedicated to you!

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

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!

My top ten must-haves!

Fashion fads come & go, but real style stands the test of time. As mentioned earlier, I'm one for classics versus trends. I love buying clothing that lasts and is therefore timeless.  I have put myself up for the challenge of finding classic pieces using Audrey Hepburn as an example. Here's my list of the top ten must-haves!! 1. Man's style classic buttoned down white shirt 2. LBD-Little Black Dress 3. A-Line dress/skirt 4. Trench Coat (Burberry is the original) 5. Black turtleneck sweater (Preferably cashmere) 6. Leopard print (one piece at a time/NEVER more than one!!) 7. Silk Scarf (Preferably Hermes) 8. Ballet Flats 9. Pearls (Earrings/necklace) 10. Investment handbag (look to Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Prada for classic styles)   What's your favourite out of my top ten must-haves?  Enjoy your weekend and, whatever you do, make sure you do it in st
