My new Gap dress! One of my (few) purchases from the UK. I miss Gap. I have done since living in Oz. A place chocka full of all your staple garments, from jeans to cardies and simple cotton summer dresses. This one is in soft, stretchy jersey and the top is double thick so I don't have to wear a bra (yay, no nipple show through). Today I'm keeping it simple and as it comes, but next time I think I'll add a thin red belt and wear my red Keds. I love it.

 Strapless navy and white stripey dress from GAP, was £50, mine for £25.

Milan fashion week...

It's Milan's turn at Fashion Week. I was underwhelmed by London I must say. Maybe I'm just getting old but the UK style was a real mish mash... 

So to Italy we go and my fav so far has to be Gucci. Always spot on. Designer Frida Giannini sent some gorgeous, bright, stylish outfits down the runway.  I'd gladly frock up in any of these beauties!  If only...

I bought this Portmans dress the other day (on the sale rail!).  I love the bright tangerine/coral (?) colour. It came with a patent cream belt, but I think I'll try a different colour next time.  Mix things up a bit. But I love this style of dress (as you know), it suits my shape and is just the right length.

London Fashion Week

Funnily enough, it's Vivienne Westwood's Red Label collection that's my favourite (from London Fashion Week) so far. Ultra feminine, war-time retro, wearable pieces, in muted colours.

The weekend went way too quickly, and although I was busy, I don't feel like I really did anything... I feel like I need another day to relax and have some more fun. Monday is always a bit of a slog. Still I have nothing to complain about!  My cup is half full and all that...

I needed some bright, spring colour today.  You've seen this outfit before.  My Wish top and Review skirt.  I love this shade of green, is it emerald (?), it looks so nice with tanned skin.

Okay. Caffeine kick is about to (hopefully) hit, time to get cracking! Have a good week my friends!

Colour splash! After looking at the Alice + Olivia collection for ages and admiring the lovely outfits, I felt like a dose of vibrant colour today. I love this cotton, Basque sun dress. It has pockets and fits beautifully. I was going to wear my soft pink heels, but decided on my lime green slingbacks instead.

Now all I need is a tequila sunrise to match, or maybe a jug of Pimms...anyone care to join me?

NYFW king of the gown

Oscar de la Renta is the master when it comes to impressive, wearable evening gowns and dresses. I would love to have a excuse to wear one of his fabulous creations! So beautiful. So glamourous. Ahhhh...

Here is my pick from his NYFW catwalk show. I can dream!

More from NY fashion week

I love Stacey Bendet, designer of gorgeous girlie label Alice + Olivia (named after two influential mothers, her own and a friends). Her style is so feminine and colourful, retro and classy. She designs for herself and wears all her own clothes.  She's cute and clever and beautifully quirky. Follow Alice+Olivia on Instagram for updates on her inspiration and what's happening in her studio.

Here are my favs from her show...

I fancied wearing black again today.  It's a gorgeous sunny spring day, but I just didn't feel like colour. I think it's looking at all the lovely fashion week collections, the wispy, delicate black dresses.

I can't remember where this dress is from. I cut the itchy label off. But it's light cotton and fine for coffee with a girlfriend and then a few hours at work.  I just changed my shoes accordingly...

I got this linen-mix dress at Coles a while ago.  It was only $15.  It's really wearable, has pockets and I like that you can change the belt to whatever colour you fancy.  I've gone for a teal belt and cardie today with nude sandals.

 

It's a beautiful Spring day out there.  The sun is out and there is not a breath of wind.

Yay, it's Friday. Can you believe it's the last day of August already?! This year is flying by way too quick. 

Coffee with girlfriends this morning, then to work... so this new Leona Edmiston sweetheart-neck tea dress (that I got the other day) is prefect. I do love purple. It's such a rich, flattering colour. I'll wear this dress a lot, it feels really nice on.

Have a good weekend chaps!

Opps a bit fuzzy today!

I'm wearing one of my new tea dresses (see yesterdays post).  I must say I do love it.  And it has pockets, which is always a bonus. What do you think?

I'm looking very virginal today. Ivory everything. Nude wedges. Spring is in the air, and I'm feeling good! 

My good mood might have something to do with a cool present that my dear friends gave me this morning... oh the anticipation of what's to come later...! Remember my 'smile makers' post... well you get the idea.
