Wardrobe Diaries: Fine Feathered Threads

In an ideal world this is what I would wear everyday- a fabulous frock, beautiful baubles, towering heels and a cozy knit casually thrown over. My very own rendition of Breakfast At Tiffany's. If there's one thing I took away from that film it's that there are no rules in fashion. Who says you can't wear evening wear to the grocery store or lingerie at the park? I wore this outfit for no particular occasion and that's what I love most about it. Some days you just need a little glamour in your life.

Wardrobe Diaries: Spring Meets Fall

I am still coming to terms with the fact that I miss out on Fall this year. If you've been following my blog then you may remember me mentioning summer fashion fatigue from as earlier as June. They don't call Fall, fashion's favourite season for nothing. All those layers and outerwear, knits, furs and leathers are enough to make any girl swoon. 

Sadly for me, I left the Northern Hemisphere a few days before the end of summer and arrived here in the Southern Hemisphere just as spring picked up. Instead of abandoning all my newly acquired cold weather wear, I decided to bring them along with me to style into my spring wardrobe. The classic spring colour combo of mint and blush contrast perfectly with edgier leather pieces from Fall. Add to that some red lipstick and a velvet bow and there you have my perfect spring meets fall outfit. 

A big thank you to Boticca for sending me this beautiful leather clutch. When it comes to fashion and design, there's nothing I love more than discovering new talented up and coming designers. Through their online shop, Boticca gives me the chance to scour the world for beautiful unique pieces with the knowledge that each purchases will help aid an independant designer to be one step closer to their dream. Now for the fun part, make sure you pop by on friday for a chance to win a beautiful bracelet by french designer Mademoiselle Felee courtesy of Boticca.

Wardrobe Diaries: Knit and Maxi

One of my fondest memories as a kid were of days spent playing in the evening sun. There's something magical about those last few hours towards the end of the day. It's like all of a sudden the pace of the world slows to a crawl, and everything in sight turns a warm nostalgic glow. I can't help being melancholy whenever twilight comes around. It is definitely my favourite time of the day.

These days instead of sitting and reflecting on the events of the day, I try to take my girls on an evening stroll. I load them both into their little red wagon and away we go in silence stopping now and then to gaze at something delightful. If daytime is for doing and nighttime is for resting, then twilight was made for pondering.

Wardrobe Diaries: Summer in the Country

So I didn't really take a day trip to the countryside but that was the inspiration I had for these pictures. Although if I wanted to, I really wouldn't need to travel far. Summer is winding down and I recently realised I haven't been wearing my new key pieces nearly enough this season. Good news is I will be in Australia for the last quarter of the year so I will get to relive these glorious summer days, bad news is I get to relive these glorious summer days. And here I was looking forward to my favourite fashion season- Fall/Winter especially with all the pre-fall lookbooks coming out recently. I guess I'll just have to stick to these floaty skirts, silky tops and bright lippy a tad bit longer.

On a totally unrelated note, I finally got my hands on some Trader Joe's Cookie Butter this weekend. If you haven't had it yet, you need to, it will change your life. xx

Wardrobe Diaries: Get Shorty

Taking a break from all the vivid colours this summer with a no-nonsense monochromatic outfit. Around about mid way through every season I start to get fashion fatigue (as previously mentioned). Right now I'm longing for the cooler months so I can break out the faux fur and leather. Till then I'll just stick to dressing in transeasonal pieces which usually consists of button downs and blouses.... or not. I may just feel summer inspired again by the time I post my next outfit.Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I don't usually blog on the weekends, but this one has been so uneventful that blogging has been my highlight. Sad, but true. xx{ shorts last seen in this outfit }

Wardrobe Diaries: Memorial Day White Affair

Sunshine, 90 degree weather, cold drinks, burgers and head to toe white is how I spent this Memorial Day weekend. We started a new tradition this year, visiting The Pharmacy in East Nashville for a lazy afternoon of dining. The nondescript white facade opens up to a charming beer garden with thick luscious grass, sprawling canopy of leaves and twinkling fairy lights strung up from tree to tree. Chargrilled burgers under afternoon sunlight followed by salty caramel icecream at Jeni's Spendid Icecream... I could get use to this. Hope everyone had an amazing and sunny long weekend.

On my mind... Mother's Day Afternoon Tea

Mother's Day is fast approaching. I can't think of a better way to spend it than sleeping in till noon then being whisked off to afternoon tea in a fancy hotel. It's always such a treat to go out for afternoon tea, I do believe one should dress for the occasion. This peplum top paired with the red maxi is just dressy enough for daytime wear. How adorable is this Alexander McQueen skull clutch? Dear husband if you are reading this, I would one in every colour please.
