Left my heart in Santorini

images via FIEL SOL

Santorini, in the Greek Islands is by far one of my most favourite places on earth (BLOGGED HERE).

As soon as I came across this incredible look-book from local accessories designer FIEL SOL, very fond memories flooded back of Satnorini's inimitable sunshine, crystal waters and picture-perfect sunsets.

I can't wait to get back - enjoy!

Lady in red

One of the best things about being a fashion blogger? Not thinking twice about dashing to the beach in your favourite neon-coloured dress, and impractically high wedge-heels.



Not to mention sweet accessories, particularly this perfectly precious skull necklace by local Melbourne label, My Secret Agent Lover Man (amazing name or what!).



Salty sea breeze and sand between my toes - perfection.

Watch this

Dear friends,

Lately all things retro, from fashion, to photography, to music have taken hold of me and watches are no exception.

I picked this gold beauty up from UK brand Breo, who produce one of the most extensive ranges of time pieces I've seen.

Their colour range is out of this world, but what's best is that this luminex model, cost less than $55 (seriously)!

Digging the 80's vibe, all that's missing is a calculator. Back to the future here I come!

P e a c e

Dear friends,

There is nothing quite like being a tourist in your own backyard.

This weekend I hit the road, to explore the beautiful coast-line of my new adopted city. A lovely break with great surf, delicious wine and seafood, spectacular scenery and friendly locals - bliss.

Before I headed off, I received these rings from my friend (and fellow blogger), the lovely Katie of Be Inspired. I've become particularly fond of this very sweet peace ring, which I've been wearing with pretty much everything!

Finally, love, kisses and the warmest wishes to my mother on this mothers day.
An amazing woman and my best friend.

Golden years

Over the extra long weekend, we were treated to the perfect Autumn sunshine here in Melbourne.

A fabulous time had, indulging in cuisine from all corners of the world, the obligatory boutique hoping and a fierce bocce tournament with great company in the park.

Over the weekend, I was also thrilled to be involved in a blogger collaboration (alongside the beautiful Bianca and Jess), for the summer look-book of fabulous Melbourne-based accessory label Sarah Conners. I can't reveal too much just yet, but think bright colours, scorching summer heat and exotic locations.

A huge thank you to the incredible photographer of the day, Lee Oliveira. If you haven't already, do yourselves a favour and check out Lee's street-style blog, a true talent, you won't be disappointed.

DIY dream

I was asked by one of my readers the other day if I like to DIY when it comes to fashion and the resounding answer was YES!

I absolutely love to customise my style as much as possible, from simply changing over buttons, to reconstructing an oversized vintage bargain.

This is one of my favourite DIY outfits. I absolutely fell in love with the print of this (what was oversized) vintage dress, so I brought in the seams and customised the hem-line.

Inspired by this fabulous Louboutin DIY, courtesy of the wonderful ...love Megan, I also had a field day DIY(ing) these Target stilettos and finally, the belt, a left-over piece of chiffon.

I'm wearing:
Dress: Vintage
Shoes: Target - DIY

Luv thy trouser

It’s official, I have an unhealthy obsession with these trousers!

I purchased these a couple of months ago, from Urban Outfitters whilst touring the United States and have gotten so much wear out of them.

Whether worn dressed up, with a blazer (Up town girl, seen here) or dressed down with a tank top and fedora (Copacabana, seen here), the cut and colour is so versatile.

These trousers have quickly become a travelling wardrobe staple of mine. What is your can’t-live-without wardrobe essential?

I’m wearing:
Trousers – Urban Outfitters
Tank – ‘borrowed’ from my fiancé
Shoes – Charlotte Russe
Belt – Markets, Hanoi

P.S. I was thrilled beyond words to hear that I made an appearance in this month’s Grazia Magazine! Unfortunately no Grazia for me here in Vietnam, so if any Aussie readers have a scanned copy, I'd love a sneak peak.
