Shoulda Played it Cooler

 

Sportsgirl Yellow Clutch/ Marc Jacobs Bag/ ZARA Glitter Flats/ Bottega Veneta Parfum

Christmas is over for another year.....sigh! I love gift giving AND receiving  ;)

I have posted a pic of my fabulous Marc Jacobs Petal to the Metal Pouchette that I received for xmas....loving how versatile it is, I can pop all the essentials in and not have to worry about lugging a big carry all around (although I do love my oversize bags...better for winter though!)

While I was just away in Bali I purchased a beautiful white and grey maxi dress, so floaty and effortless, will be pairing these with my cute asos tan sandals. I know I have wardrobe 'blanks' all the time, where I stare at my clothes hanging up, proclaiming "i have nothing to wear" , we ALL do! So my advice is by a few cute maxi dresses and pair them with sandals or wedges for a quick 'savior'  when in dire straits...

Sunshine Christmas

Sportsgirl tee/Dont Ask Amanda Skirt/ Sportsgirl Wedges/ Mink Pink Save Ferris Sunglasses/ Due Punti Ring (Black)/ 
Sportsgirl Cross ring/ House of Harlow gold ring

Meeting up with the girls for some festive drinks before the week gets crazy, I decided to wear something a little girly. It was a fairly warm night in Melbourne, but I really wanted to wear my long black maxi skirt, so i resorted to tying it up to make it a little shorter, hence cooler! I bought this Sportsgirl tee earlier in the week and thought it would look cute tucked in, put some wedges on to finish the look so I would be polished  for the rest of the  night, incase we kicked on and visited the endless bars that were surrounding us  ;)

I am really looking forward to xmas time at home to spend time with the family and also because  I know there is a special Marc Jacobs present under the tree for me which I am dying to open.... pics up soon!! :) Also I wanted to wish you all a wonderful xmas and thank you for the support and love during the year

Festival Dreaming

 Neon By Jess Hart Tee/ One Teaspoon Shorts/ Market HQ Saddle Bag/ Thrifted Boots/ YSL Ring/ House of Harlow Ring

I was staring at my wardrobe the other day looking for an outfit, when i pulled out this vintage Led Zepplin tee. I bought it from General Pants about a year ago and loved how 70's rock it was, I threw on some thrifted boots i found and put together a laid back look. A perfect combo for day at Coachella or any of the upcoming festivals hitting our shores in summer

Mustard Graffiti

Country Road Jumper/ Cheap Monday Capri's/ ZARA Mustard Bag/ Shari Wacks Necklace/ ZOMP Shoes/ Mink Pink Save Ferris Sunglasses

As you know TOPSHOP opened in Melbourne this week, so I thought instead of getting caught up in the hysteria (trust me I will soon, I just need a little space while I shop, hehe)  I would get lost  in the most amazing little alleyways and cafes of Melbourne city. 

While getting lost I found such talented artwork and a few little pieces from ZARA that I "had" to have.

So here is a collection of the pictures I took and an outfit post thrown in for good measure :)

Enjoy xx

Ironically launched on the 11.11.11, jac5 is the new boy in town, and when i mean boy, i mean...boy id like to see my man in those undies!!

SUPERSMART- designed for suiting up and dressing for sucess

BARKING MAD – our fashion collection. Colourful, stylish and a just that little bit quirky.

Givenchy S/S 12

Riccardo Tisci in my eyes (it doesnt mean that much, but still!) has done an amazing collection with Givenchy on the Spring Summer 2012 range. I have become obsessed with the scalloped edge Givency skirt that was seen on Carine Roitfeld just after its debut on the runway. She has teamed it perfectly with a Camel/Blush Tone shirt and looks effortlessly chic. In Love....

This look is perfect for the spring/summer crossover we are about to embark on. You can team a beautiful cream tone pencil skirt, which can be found in shops such as Kookai or Cue, I think even Portmans have one, with a beautiful sheer blush/camel tone shirt; Mink Pink do great versions for half the price!!!

Beautiful, tailored dressing doesnt always have to come with the price tag, you can find better alternatives to keep a few extra dollars in the LV coin purse of yours!! :)
