Outback Glam & Hellooooo 2014!

Hi everyone, happy 2014!! Hope this year is off to a fabulous start for you! I thought I would do something more fun for the first post of the year, so I got dressed up and switched out the usual urban jungle backdrop for some refreshing bush land scenery. It's important to start the year nice and fresh! This was taken while I was still in Melbourne, my home city. I had such a wonderful time back in Australia over Christmas and new year with my family and friends. There is really no place like home! :)

Neutral Territory

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a fantastic week so far. I'm bracing the cold in neutrals today. It's not often that I'm in all neutral shades, and I'm loving it! These colors are the essential building blocks of our wardrobe, so you really can't go wrong with them. I think a warmer palette of neutral colors is so effortless and very comforting on a day like today :)

Blue My Mind

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a fabulous day! As fall is fast approaching and I wanted to incorporate some rich fall colors into today's outfit. A dash of deep burgundy, beautifully textured blues and golden hues are just a few of my favorites for the season :)

Fancy Trimmings

Hi everyone! Hope your week's off to a great start! I know Mondays are always a little tough. No matter how much we love our work, there's always that small wish the weekend could be just a little longer :) That's why on Mondays, I like to make sure that I've added something special to the outfit. Something bright, energetic and cheerful!

Happy Botanical

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Hope you are having a wonderful day! I greeted the first few days of spring with these what I call "happy botanical pants". I absolutely adore the colour mix and the vibrant floral patterns scattered throughout. They looked so peppy hanging there on the shelf, I could almost hear the light happy Spring humming (haha...yes, vivid imagination =P). She definitely had me at hello and I happily took her home, eager to showcase her at the start of the new season.

Purple Sparkles with Rose Gold Accent

Hi everyone! Hope you are having a great week so far! One of  my favourite colours of all time is purple. It is closely associated to nobility, royalty and luxury. I just adore the colour depth of purple, it's like a great mystery novel! =P Today, I decided to play with some purple sparkles, using rose gold as a highlight. I love the way these two colours work together. Silver would have also paired nicely with purple, but I was looking for a more subtle and harmonious blend of colours. I thought an injection of rose gold would be the recipe for a more understated glamour.

Spot the Difference

Hi everyone! Happy Monday! Hope you had a beautiful weekend and are ready to tackle another busy week ahead! Mondays are always a little harder, but it is still important to set the tone right for the rest of the week. A dash of colour and a playful pattern always sets me on a great path, so today I decided to play with  whimsical polka dots in different sizes. Unsure if this spotty approach from top to bottom would work, I decided to take a chance anyway, hoping this fashion risk would lead to a pleasant surprise rather than baring a  close resemblance to a lady bug. The verdict? Phew...I was happy that there was enough differences to avoid making the connection =P
