Wardrobe Diaries: Fall in Love

Spring has finally sprung here in Melbourne, Australia and it smells good. While I'm enjoying the longer sun filled days I can't deny a little fashion envy of my north hemisphered counterparts. So here I am trying to get in on all the fun fall action, or shall I say faux fall action. Today, I am extremely flattered to be featured on Mary Jo Matsumoto's style blog, Trust Your Style. Come swing by to see myself, along with a few other style makers discussing our favourite fall obsession. And while you're there, stop by Mary Jo's store to check out her collection of impeccably designed handbags. Here are a few of my favourites from her fall/winter collection. Mary Jo is known for extracting the essence of runway trends and presenting them in a classic, timeless manner that just oozes je ne sai quoi.

Friday's Fancies

Happy friday everyone! First off, who else is excited about the return of Downton Abbey? I can't wait till it airs on TV here, in the meantime I'll just cover my ears and avert my eyes whenever there's any mention of it.

This week has been filled with nonstop party planning in preparation for my littlest one's first birthday. She officially turns the big One next week. I know it sounds cliche, it seems just like yesterday when I was still waddling around with her baking away. I'm quite certain I broke some kind of world record for mother's height to baby's birth weight ratio but that's a story for another day, maybe. I have so much fun stuff planned for her birthday bash and I can't wait to share it with you soon. For now, a few snaps from life this week. xx

This use to happen to me when I was little so I held my breath as I watched my two year old lick away. The look of surprise and anguish on her face was too much to bear.  

I love seeing my girls get along. These days they are obsessed with this doll's pram. They both take turns sitting in it. That's right, even my 25lb toddler finds a way to squeeze herself in.

These fuchsia pumps have been glued to my feet ever since I picked them up. I'm certain they match with EVERYTHING in my wardrobe. Just a warning, you may be seeing a lot of these in the near future.   

It's been a while since I've seen so many people on the street and it feels good. For now I'm simply enjoying watching the world pass me by as I sit and sip my coffee. 

Thank you to the traffic department for these clever little reminders. They've saved me from driving on the wrong side of the road more times than I'd care to mention. 

Don't forget only two days left to enter my Love Bangle giveaway. Winner announced on Monday September 24th. More details here.
