Melbourne Florals

Asos floral suit, MinkPink blouse, Zara bag, Wittner boots 

On friday past, i flew to melbourne for australia's first national blogger conference 'fashionopolis'. Organised by nuffnang, the event was created to bring bloggers from all over australia together. Huge thanks to nuffnang for organising my trip, it was a wonderful event and i am so happy to have been there! A more photo heavy post will follow soon :) 

I managed to squeeze in a couple of quick outfit photos just to show you all what i wore on the day. I actually wore this floral suit briefly during sydney fashion week, but never got any photos of it. Melbourne was a little chilly so the collared blouse was a good choice in terms of layering and the black tights and boots were an obvious choice in terms of staying warm! Melbourne was indeed freezing, but hopefully i will be back there sooner rather than later. Some exploring is definitely in order.

Ooh and don't forget to enter my giveaway below for the chance to win an amazing LOVE dress!

LOVE Giveaway

Skirt c/o Love, Asos leather jacket, Thrifted jumper, Zara bag, Jeffrey Campbell lita's c/o freepeople

It's a very good day when you receive an amazing floral skirt in the mail. And it is an especially good day when you have it delivered at work!! Nothing makes a work day that little bit more tolerable than receiving pretty clothes right? You can imagine how excited i was when i pulled this gorgeous piece of heaven out of the parcel. I think with winter coming i feel the need to wear florals more than in spring. I  love the idea of layering lightweight and flowy materials with heavy wools and knits. There is something about the contrast in textures that i love. Wearing a skirt that is lightweight and floral is so typical in summer but throwing it over woolly tights in winter just seems a bit more exciting! Thank you LOVE for creating the perfect floral skirt.

Just some instagram snaps i took during my time at mbfw. Apologies for all of the food photos, i actually can't believe they outrun the fashion/outfit related ones. Kinda embarrassing!!

This week has been pretty full on, i feel as if i haven't stopped since coming back from sydney last weekend. With working during the week and flying out to melbourne last night for nuffnang's fashiononopolis conference, i really haven't had the time to sit back and recuperate. It's a 4 hour flight to melbourne and i came back tonight so it's been a bit of a rush! The event was wonderful though and i am so thankful to have been a part of it! I will be posting about it very soon so keep an eye out. Hope everyones well. I'm off to bed, goodnight all!

MBFW outfit day 4

Topshop jumper, Storets skirt, Betts heels, Zara bag, Lovisa necklace

A pleated pleather skirt and the perfect minty blue knit. These are two of my favourite items in my closet right now and together they encompass everything i love about an outfit. 

Lately i seem to be dressing by the 'less is more' rule. I only started realising this pattern during MBFW last week when my suitcase was opened to reveal complete and utter simplicity. I actually find it quite refreshing to be honest. Although unintentional, i have come to admire this way of dressing. I've spoken before about creating a classic, timeless wardrobe so maybe this is me on the right path. All i need to go with it is some amazing vintage jewellery. I think i'll need to go thrifting soon, it's been far too long. 

Happy Tuesday everyone!

MBFW Day 3

Friend of mine top, Dotti jeans, Topshop shoes, Zara bag

Despite being surrounded by other bloggers during mbfw, i didn't seem to get as many outfit shots as i would have liked. These were a couple taken quickly by charmaine in between shows. I've been taking a more relaxed approach to dressing the past few weeks. Sometimes it's easy to wake up, throw a couple of pieces together and not have to think to much about it. 

I bought these topshop heels as soon as they appeared online and wore them practically throughout the whole of fashion week. The metallic heel is rather incredible and being white, they make a nice change from my extensive black shoe collection.

Hope everyone's enjoyed their weekend!

courtyard

Asos leather jacket, Littlegracie dress, Zara bag

Stumbled upon the cutest little courtyard cafe in between yesterday's shows. For those who follow me on instagram, you will know that i am a huge coffee drinker and enjoy sweet treats pretty much everyday! Finding little hidden places like this makes me very happy :) 

Sorry i still haven't done an outfit post! Charmaine took the photos on her camera while in Sydney so i'm just waiting to receive them. It shouldn't be too long now!

How has everyone's weekend been?
