Emerald City!

I'm loving the current trend toward emerald.

A statement colour, emerald is a fabulous and modern way to brighten up the work, casual or evening outfit.

The colour is perfect for your colour-blocking outfit or simply chic paired with black or white.

Here are some of my favourite finds.

Chic Corporate with a Twist!

During business hours, I'm a corporate dresser.  Always have been, always will be.

But the days of the power suit are (thankfully) over.  Not that there is anything wrong with a power suit!  Just me, I am just very partial to a dress.  

It's Spring in Melbourne.  It's perfect!

Below are my 3 favourite dresses of the moment and naturally, I've found some fabulous accessories that look perfect with all 3 dresses (or equally as chic as stand alone statement pieces).  So that I don't let anyone down, naturally, I have included some leopard print!

I have selected a dress each from the latest collections of Stella McCartney, Country Road & Diane Von Furstenberg (DVF).

These dresses will take you from the office to the chic cafe and then out to a fabulous restaurant without so much as a crease.  Pair with a patent peep toe in a nude tone or a black for a bolder look.

However you style your Spring dress, enjoy being chic in the office and in the sunshine!

Cherry Popped!

As a girl that always has a splash of colour on display, I am loving the current trend towards bright cherry popping red!


I came across a great pair of cherry red skinny jeans in Witchery for $129.95.  Best to get in quick as they have almost sold out of all sizes Australia wide!


My styling tip for wearing this bright shade is to keep the rest of the outfit neutral.  Red is the feature and focus of the look so other items should only compliment and not take away from the fabulousness of this colour regardless of day or night.

I am loving the leather trend (that I don't think will ever date), always obsessed with a bit (okay, a lot) of leopard print so this look is my favourite of the moment.  It's an easy style to achieve and I have mixed some reasonably priced chain store items with Jimmy Choo & Yves Saint Laurent, of course!


J Brand also do a great pair of cherry skinny's '811' style for $175 USD @ shopbop.com
