Chadstone Runway

On Wednesday as part of LMFF, the fashion capital held one of their great VIP days with lots of special offers. The night included two runway parades showcasing various brands from Chadstone which I happily sat to watch after spending hours working and shopping. I think all up I spent around 11 hours at Chadstone!

Key trends from the two runway shows.

Bold prints

 1) Camilla and Marc dress, Tony Bianco from Santini shoes 2) Romance was Born from David Jones dress 3) Thurley dress, Aldo shoes 4) Nicola Finetti from Myer dress, Aldo shoes 5) Country Road dress, Steve Madden shoes

I love the Camilla and Marc kinda fruity/floral shift dress, the same print as the one from my last post at LMFF opening night runway. I also mentioned in that post I loved the Romance was Born collection which included this second dress pictured. Prints like this work great with blocks of colour, for the runway show the prints were paired with bright coloured coats, clutches, shoes, even a touch of bright lipstick or nails can finish the look.

Step Into Spring

Melbourne's weather has finally warmed up a little. Which means I need some motivation to show my extremely pale winter legs, hello new shoes!



I bought these cork wedges at Aldo last week. I went in only to say hi to my friend who was working...but she's a good sales assistant and I walked away with these. Luckily even though they were new in they only cost $59.95.

I was deciding between the Aldo ones and the Sportsgirl Paige Wedge. Do you prefer cork or espadrilles? I still can't decide. I might buy the Sportsgirl ones too.

I wore them with this outfit to work, they're high enough that I can wear longer skirts but not too high that my feet get sore (well I can last about a 5 hour shift). Will be perfect with all the summer dresses coming in.

This post is also my attempt at showing Estelle from Ash & Belle Blog how to wear a 'mullet skirt' without it looking horrible! haha I hope I achieved that, I know it's not everyone's thing though.

Since this was a work outfit, every piece is Sportsgirl apart from the shoes.

Wearing - archers blouse, asymmetrical skirt in black (sold out online but still available in store), washed vintage owl necklace, new inlay leaf ring and subtle mixed set of bracelets (both available in store)

ps. I've been sick all this week so hopefully you can't tell in these photos x
