I would say that lace is back but honestly did it ever leave us? One of my first ever blog posts four years ago was discussing the trend of black lace. In years gone by the trend has matured with us, with silhouettes changing to a much more wearable midi length for this Spring. A much classier length while still showing a little skin, it's the perfect balance.
For Melbourne Spring Fashion Week I wore this look from Bardot with heels from Wittner. The Lumi heel features laser cut details in black suede and a comfortable heel height for a day in the city.
Thank you so much to Luke from Turbine Pictures for these photographs.

Graffiti filled Finley Lane was the perfect setting for Nixi Killick to introduce her new collection during MSFW. Complete with lighting installations, art projections and of course the colourful crowd of guests, the laneway was turned into a vibrant futuristic world.
Members of the colourtribe stood out amongst the tones of black which Melbourne is typically known for.
Not being one to mix prints with prints, I wore this gold glitter leopard top by Paint It Red paired with a Minkpink leather look skirt and my signature red nails and lipstick.

Melbourne based designer Nixi Killick has come a long way since representing RMIT at last years National Graduate Showcase. With excitement built after Lady Gaga wore her designs for her new tour brochure, the turnout for this laneway event was extraordinary and possibly unexpected, with guests crowding in to get a glimpse of the vibrant and colourful designs. The collection featured bold digitally designed prints layered with sculptured art pieces, extravagant accessories and wearable harnesses.

For the Spring Style runway at MSFW a few weeks ago I wore this printed blazer from Bardot. Keeping it classic in head to toe black and white, I paired it with a silk tee from Sportsgirl and skinny high rise jeans from Bardot. This tote bag from Myer Miss Shop has become my everyday essential, somehow fitting my endless list of items. Do I need dry shampoo and a hairbrush with me at all times? Maybe not but they fit.
Melbourne Spring Fashion Week kicked off the new season with their spring style runway at the hub. Showcasing fresh looks from leading Australian brands, Veronika Maine, Cue, Seduce, Review, Sportscraft and Saba.

I was lucky enough to shoot with Liz from Street Smith for Wittner shoes during Melbourne Spring Fashion Week. I'm wearing Frushe in white leather from their current Sports Luxe collection, which you can shop here.
I've loved the white on white trend which has been dominant for this Spring, so I styled this head to toe white look while also incorporating my favourite essential, stripes. The blazer, top and midi stripe skirt are from Bardot.
Photos were taken by Street Smith and owned by Wittner shoes.
