Monochrome for the Melbourne Cup

I love dressing up. Even though we spent Melbourne Cup Day celebrating at home, I still got into the spirit of it all.

I chose a monochrome look with a simple black top, cream brocade skirt, black floral headpiece and some black Mary-Jane pumps.

I love the fact my wardrobe allows me to choose to make a bold statement with colour or to keep it sophisticated with monochrome tones, depending on my mood.

Do you tend to lean towards colour or do you prefer the monochrome look?

Can you believe how fast the year is going? It seems like just the other day that my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary back in October. Cup day has been and gone and now we are starting to think about Christmas!

Wishing you a fabulously fashionable week.

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.

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! Yours in style, Suzi x All images c/o bally.com

on my wish list

On my wish list at the moment is this Burberry Prorsum technical silk A-line skirt in black. I absolutely love A-line skirts and dresses! They are universally flattering on every body type. If you don't own an A-line skirt or dress, its an item of clothing that you can always rely on. It can take you from day to night and is guaranteed to make you look amazing with every wear! Unfortunately, Melbourne does not yet carry the Burberry Prorsum line. However, since the line is available in Sydney, that's a pretty good excuse to organise a shopping trip, don't you think? What's on your current wish list? Yours in style, Suzi x Thanks to Burberry for the images xx
