My florals, my way

There's a trend going about town at the moment and it's HUGE! I'm talking about florals. They're the type of florals that remind me of my parents' Moran coach growing up and of Laura Ashley bedspreads. I admire the trend on other people, but cannot seem to bring myself to wear it for myself.

Don't get me wrong, I love the look of florals. I'm a girly-girl after all and appreciate a bouquet every once in a while. However, I prefer my florals petite to suit my frame. 

I remember walking into Max & Co store at Chadstone Shopping Centre one day (for those of you who live overseas, this would equate to a massive Macy's). As I searched the racks for the piece that 'did it' for me, I finished up completely dry of any inspiration. Just as I was about to leave, I noticed the sweetest, prettiest, pink floral blouse,  hanging up behind the counter. 









Immediately I asked the sales assistant whether I could purchase it. I thought it may have been on hold for someone. I tried it on...and, well, I guess you'd say the rest is history!! So, there it hangs still,  delicately on my cream, satin hanger, after a few seasons wear already, and I can still rely on it, like a trusted old friend. 

There you have it, my florals, my way! 

Do you like the floral trend right now? How do you prefer to style your florals?

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
