For the Love of Audrey

Some people say they are addicted to shoes, I myself am addicted to cashmere. My sweater drawer is overflowing with cashmere now and I have needed to start using a second one!  During Autumn, I start planning out my Winter wardrobe in order to ensure that I have enough warm clothes to see me through the colder months. While doing my edit, I noticed there was a gap in the number of crew neck sweaters I own, so have been on the lookout ever since. Recently, I found a suitable cashmere sweater that ticked all of the boxes for me at Burberry London , Chadstone.  Burberry uses beautiful quality cashmere yarn in the manufacturing of their sweaters. I own another cashmere sweater from the Prorsum line, which I purchased about a year ago. I adore grey, from  just have the lightest heather greys to the deepest of charcoals. It's chic and works effortlessly with a wide range of colours.  I am now well prepared for the cooler weat...

It's Autumn in Australia so the weather is becoming progressively cooler. A typical Autumn day usually starts off really cold and by the middle of the day, becomes substantially warm. So just how do you dress to the suit these changes in the weather? The answer is quite simple really. Dress in layers! As a fellow Melburnian, I am used to having to add and remove my layers according to the changes in temperatures throughout the day.  What I love about layering is the fact you can get a lot more wear out of your Spring/Summer clothing by simply adding layers either over or under the garment, just like I've done here with my favourite Zimmermann dress. I've added a silk/cashmere sweater underneath for warmth. I could also add a leather jacket over this ensemble for Winter days. It's kind of like shopping in your own closet, creating new looks! Double bonus! Wishing you a beautiful Easter with family and friends. Hope the E...

Do you know how many times I have counted my blessings lately? Many a time. Whereas once I would have taken life for granted, now I see things with a different set of eyes and a fresh perspective. It's so important to be thankful for the simple things in life. Tonight we celebrated life for no good reason just 'because', with myself, my husband and my mother at our home. Who needs a special occasion to celebrate? Life is a celebration and we should be happy that we are a part of it. For our dinner, I cooked some roast vegies and my husband cooked a lovely succulent rack of lamb. We make a great team. Not one of us feels the other does too much or too little. (Another reason I am blessed) We drank French champagne and said a cheers to this wonderful life. Wishing you all a beautiful weekend and for those of you in Australia, a wonderful long weekend.

I ordered this stunning Zimmermann dress online after seeing the lack of Summer dresses in my closet. What I love about this dress is the broidery lace. It's absolutely exquisite. Whenever I wear it, I feel beautiful and, as far as I'm concerned, if a garment makes you feel that good, you know you're onto something very special indeed! Wishing you a wonderful week. I am hanging out for the long weekend! Yours in style, Suzi x

  I am the first to admit that when it comes to saving, I'm no pro. Saving sounds easier than it looks in reality.  It's that time of the year where new season looks and trends start to launch online and in store. When you're trying to save up for something, whether it be an investment piece or other, this can be quite distracting and set you off track in an instant. So just how do you stay on track then? I don't have any fast-fix solutions. However, what I can offer you are some tips which may help to keep you focused.  My first tip is to keep clippings of what you're saving up for on your fridge or inspiration board or pin on Pinterest. Every day or so, take a good look at the image. This will reaffirm your desire to continue to save for the item in question so that you're less likely to give into other temptations. Another tip is to just buy the things you need, aka the things you run out of, in so far as skincare and beauty products and a...

Breakfast at Tiffany's is my favourite movie starring Hollywood's greatest style icons and multi-award winning actress, Audrey Hepburn. So, one morning, when my husband and I took a trip into Tiffany's in the city, it filled me with great nostalgia. With just one step into Tiffany and Co , Collins Street Melbourne, you get a sense of being transported back into time. Without, of course, an LBD, croissant and coffee!  I was in search for the perfect pair of earrings that I could wear every day, for both day and night. My first choice was a lovely pair of T & Co 1837 circle diamond earrings in 18ct gold. However, once I tried these on, they just didn't suit me, so we ended up perusing the diamond section. For years, I have dreamed of owning a pair of Tiffany diamond earrings. The sales consultant was amazing and incredibly helpful. After trying on several pairs of earrings, I found the perfect ones! It was reall...

For the past couple of years, my husband and I have enjoyed spending New Year's Eve with family and friends, but this year, we decided to celebrate with "just the two of us". We went to a beautiful restaurant called Clover Cottage which is located in Berwick. The ambiance, service and food was impeccable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to you and we will definitely be returning there ourselves, sometime in the future. Between the scrumptious appetizer, exquisite entree, scrumptious soup, delicious carvery and mouth-watering desserts, top-shelf G.H MUMM french champagne and a Fluffy Duck cocktail, this by far was one of the more memorable New Year's Eve I have ever had.  I wore a dress by Australian designer, Ellery , winner of the 2014 Elle Style Awards Designer of the Year Award.  The fabrics used in the dress is a blend of silk/satin and feels absolutely divine. I love the silhouette and dra...
