Garden Dress

I was lucky enough that my birthday was one of the sunniest days we've had in Melbourne so far this spring. So what would be better to wear than a little floral dress.

Wearing Sportsgirl asymmetrical floral dress, I bought this for $34.95 down from $99.95, washed vintage owl necklace $19.95, patsy tote in cherry $59.95

The dress is such a light material, it's perfect for those warmer days. Also love the big floral print and asymmetrical hem.

My friend took me to this lovely little place Eden for brunch. We sat in the sun in the courtyard and ate eggs on toast, yumm. Funnily enough my order was called the Garden of Eden, fits perfectly with the dress :P

Pop Lace

I mentioned in a recent post how much I'm loving bright coloured lace at the moment. The colour blocking trend is in full force at the moment but it can be overwhelming for those of us that aren't use to wearing a lot of colour. Don't get me wrong, I love colour but I can't wear a million bright colours at once. I'm sticking to wearing one bright colour with a few colourful accessories.

I was excited when my first Asos purchase arrived earlier this week, this black A-line skirt. I'm already wearing it to death, this style is a great basic to have in your wardrobe.

Here I paired it with this Sportsgirl cobalt blue lace sweater $89.95 and colourful belt $29.95.

I bought this bow from Diva simply because I thought it was the biggest bow I've seen, it's a bit of fun and was only $5.

I'm wearing fuchsia lipstick, flamingo nails and a Sportsgirl ring. I love hot pinks with cobalt. Think I was inspired by the colour of my feature wall in my room, it's one of my favourite colours.

I also tried pairing the same skirt and lace top with pale pink accessories instead of the bold colours. Here I'm wearing cafe society belt $16.95 and a Sportsgirl flower from last spring racing season.

ps. I turned 20 on the weekend! :)

The Rediscovery Of Jeans

Now it may not seem like a big deal to most of you...but for anyone who knows me, I never wear pants. I recently bought this pair of jeans and literally the few times I've worn them all my friends have commented on how it's so weird to see me in them. I can easily say I haven't worn jeans for at least a year and a half.

I decided I should give them another go and thought maybe a new pair would change my opinion of jeans (that being they are unflattering or uncomfortable).

These jeans are super skinny with a slight ankle crop which means they're not too long for my shorty legs. They're also so stretchy and comfortable.

Wearing - Sportsgirl livvie jeans $99.95, dusty shirt in rust $89.95, monique mini wedge $79.95

Sportsgirl triple square necklace $19.95

Forever New sling bag $39.95, old Sportsgirl ring

At the moment we have renovations going on at our house, so I made use of the real props around x

Red Hot

Welcome to my new obsession - red!
I usually go for quite neutral colours or floral prints but recently I bought a couple of red dresses, now I love this shade.

The artwork is by Jody Pratt, a Melbourne illustrator whose website you can view here.

Sportsgirl easy retro dress in red (also comes in black) $89.95

It's a really flattering shape and perfect for girls that are much bigger at the hips and smaller at the waist. The cut out adds a little something to a simple silhouette.

For the last 2 weeks I've also been rocking lots of red nail polish and lippy.
The red really adds that pop of colour to plain outfits.
Wearing bombshell lipstick and tomato nail polish.

I'm sure all of you would know the Emmy's were this past week. Each awards show there may be a couple of ladies in red however this year the amount of red was at least triple.

Both the Modern Family girls Sarah Hyland and Sofia Vergara worked red with a slight coral shade.

My second red dress has a slight coral tinge. I love lace ofcourse but at the moment I think bright lace is even better. I'm going to do a post on pop coloured lace soon I think.

I wore this outfit to a 21st on Saturday night.
