Chadstone Trend Edit

As mentioned in my previous post, Chadstone held their Spring Summer '14 trend edit with special guests Olivia Palermo and her husband Johannes. Joined by designers Jacqui Demkiw from White Suede and Helen O'Connor from Thurley, the group took us through their key looks for the new season.

Olivia mentioned how much she loves Australian designers, including Sass and Bide, Willow, Manning Cartell and of course White Suede and Thurley. Here is Olivia's Australian designer edit. She also mentioned the dress she wore for the Icons Of Style photoshoot was by Thurley, which was incredibly special for her since she was photographed by her husband.
 

The above four looks are all from Thurley Spring/Summer '14.
Every season Thurley offer beautiful feminine pieces, with Helen stating she loves to incorporate lace and embellishment details. The most interesting point was the feature for this last dress, she chose to use the trim as the main fabrication, creating a unique summer look.  

The above looks are from the White Suede Spring Summer collection, Architectural Wanderlust. Specialising in exclusive digital prints and structured pieces, White Suede always offer countless options for the party season. Jacqui explained her must have is stretch leather, with this being prominent throughout the range.

The Wolf & I

A few weeks back I was invited to The Wolf and I on Chapel street in Windsor, with Denver Styles for what can only be described as one of the best meals I've ever had. Ordering the vegetarian risotto, I was surprised and delighted when the plate was placed in front of me. At first questioning if it was the correct meal since I've never seen a risotto cake before. The Wolf and I certainly offer more than regular pub food. We then had a peak upstairs at the newly renovated cocktail lounge. 
Wearing: Bardot top and skirt, White Suede coat and Wittner boots.

A Vineyard Wedding

A few weeks ago I attended a family member's beautiful wedding at a vineyard in the country. I wore this White Suede shift dress with a hot pink clutch, purple peep toes and Pandora rings. I finished off the look with bright pink lipstick and lilac nail polish. I wanted to bring the wonderful colours in the floral print out, the main reason I was first drawn to the dress. I had seen the same print featured on other garments on White Suedes instagram account and was so pleased to find it also came in this shift dress cut.
