Josh Goot Resort

I'm so in love with Josh Goots Resort 2013 collection. I've always loved the way he uses colour and prints, this collection he has stepped it up even more. Using the Great Barrier Reef as an inspiration, Goot created prints reflecting the fish and rocks of the reef with pops of colour including coral, ocean blue and neon yellow.

The collection also includes scuba style tops, asymmetrical hems and buckle belts. Goot completed the looks with wet hair and ankle strap heels. These are just some of my favourite looks, you can view the whole collection here.

Josh Goot + Bambi together is just perfection.

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.

Coral Is Heating Up Summer

I'm loving that coral has been popping up everywhere lately. After us having the longest winter ever here in Melbourne I can't wait to start wearing warmer colours. 

Rachel Roy included coral in some of her pieces for the 2010 Resort collection out earlier this year, it seems the colour has finally made it down here in time for our warmer months.

 

Most stores have some sort of coral coloured pieces for this season, so there's a lot of options for styles and prices.

Here's a few pieces currently in stores -

Sportsgirl Trifecta mini dress in coral $99.95

This dress has pockets at the front and a mid v back. I love when dresses come with surprise pockets, makes it a bit more interesting.

Forever New Abrianna frill racer back dress $79.95

 Valleygirl Zip front party dress with ruffle detailing $14.95

I like zip details on almost anything and this price is basically a steal.

Sportsgirl Ella's tee in coral $39.95

An option if you want to wear coral in a casual way.

Blake Lively in Suno wide leg pants in summer coral from the Spring/Summer 2010 collection, for the first episode of season 4 of Gossip Girl, filmed in Paris.

Personally, this is how I would not wear coral. I like the colour but it's better suited for other pieces. Bright coral along with the widest leg pants I've seen since Rachel Zoe's makes them look a bit clownish. I would usually say that Blake Lively can look good in anything and she looks amazing but I find these a little unflattering. But hey, atleast she IS wearing pants. Maybe we should blame Gossip Girl though. I'm sure some people love these but I'm not feeling it.
