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

Phew what a long week it's been! My photographer has been out of town this week hence the lack of outfit posts. Here's a look at some of the things the kids and I got up to. It's been a week of mischief (on their part), summer storms, outings to the beer garden (with the kids in tow, ha I won't even begin to explain that one) and lots and lots of cleaning. Did I mention the word cleaning?

This week I have also started my fundraising campaign to help raise money and awareness for Pin Down Bladder Cancer. It's one on those lesser known cancers that is no doubt equally as deadly. For the month of July I will be incorporating their limited edition PDBC pin into my outfits each day. You can follow me on instagram @jeneechen to stay up to date on how I style the pin. I would greatly appreciate your support and ask if you would kindly donate $1 for each day I wear the pin (there are only 12 days left so do the maths, but really any amount would be greatly appreciated). Thank you in advance. Together we can Pin Down Bladder Cancer once and for all. @PinDownBC #PDBC

I do not know how many times I've mentioned Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream on here but they are seriously addictive. This week I decided to try out Wildberry Lavendar and Mango Lassi along with my favourite Salted Caramel. 

Love taking time out during the day to just sit and read. Luckily for me, I have an abundant amount of magazines I still need to get through. 

Ah yes, this is the stuff memories are made of. What's a childhood summer without a little indulgence. 

How cute are these mugs? I picked them up at my local TJ Maxx for myself, my sister and my cousin. Guess which one is which?

My girls are Olympics ready! Their team USA outfits have arrived. For anyone following the Ralph Lauren controversy, these say they are made in Peru.
