Style File: What Im wearing

What I'm Wearing on a hot summers day in Australia!!!

To keep cool this summer look for a chiffon top, I'm wearing a floaty blue chiffon based high-low top. Look for coloured tops and stay away from black, as black attracts the sun! Look for detailing and top it off with different contrasting accessories!

Peek A Boo : Fashion Trend

I'm loving the peek a boo effect. A little bit of skin and a whole lot of mystery. These playful styles are coming out of hiding this summer and its about to turn heads.

This little adventures trend is fun and unique! It lets you reveal a little bit of skin, either on your abs, shoulders, thighs or hips. Little cut outs have been strategically placed out on to outfits to create glimpses of skin, but still being clothed. A very 'hot' trend.

Ok, so you are probably thinking 'how on earth can you wear this trend?' Yes, I agree you aren't going to play peek a boo while going to the supermarket but on the right occasion you can pull of this trend. While going for the peek a boo look stick to ladylike silhouettes. For example see the picture above, notice how its all knee length and long length silhouettes? That's the look you want to achieve a little bit sexy but at the same time lady like. 

What do you think? Do you like this trend?

Must Have: Black Maxi Skirt

Hello fashionistas!!

The key to successful dressing is to have your staple items in your wardrobe. Your staple piece can complete your outfit or start your outfit.

Over the next couple of weeks I will be going through what you need in your wardrobe. Get ready to go shopping!!

What every women needs: Black Maxi Skirt

I love a black maxi skirt and it's great item because you can dress it up or down. For example when going shopping pair it with some sandals and a white shirt with a statement watch. When going out wear a dressy top with killer heels.

It's also great for the crazy weather in between summer and winter!

Look for a black maxi skirt with fabrics such as silk and chiffon. Elegant and classy! Goes well with the ladylike trend this summer!

Always with style,

Trend Alert: Headscarves

First it was all about flower power now its all about how to wear that headscarf. Put down your flower headband, instead reach for a scarf.

Headscarves are all the rage at the moment on catwalks and in the celeb world. The Tropicana trend has gone straight to our head, with headscarves featuring tropical prints and bold patterns.

This trend will sure turn heads this Summer.

What do you think? How will this trend translate in the real world...Lets wait and see.

Think Pink!

Who said pink was just for little kids, princesses and a shade which reminds us of child hood? Well not anymore. This week on the runways showcased this delicious shade all over fashion. Pink is back ladies.
From the words of Maggie Prescott (from Funny Face, Editor) :

' "To the women everywhere."               

Banish the black,

burn the blue,

and bury the beige.

From now on, girls...

Think Pink!!!! '

and that is exactly what we are going to do!!

Not keen on wearing pink, but like the colour? Dip your toe in pink with accessories. Think pink bags, necklaces, earrings, shoes and bracelets. Any shade is appropriate. Add some pizzazz to your outfit.

Combine 2 trends, pink and embellished and this creates a romantic and eye catching look. Make your look as loud as you want. Think of pretty tops with small embellishments or look for pieces with a embellished collar.

Worried that if you wear pink from head to toe that you might turn into Barbie? Try colour blocking with pink. When colour blocking go for red, orange, blue, green and yellow. If your not brave enough to pull of this look just colour block with different shades of pinks.

Another trend sweeping the runways for summer 2014 is lady like silhouettes. Look for luxe fabrics, knee length dresses and ankle length skirts. Try a pale pink when going for a lady like look. Or go for ultra chic and wear a hot pink knee length skirt and a a white sleeved top with a crisp blazer on top.

Next time you reach for black instead go for pink!!!

Its Going To Be All White!!

As natural as white may sound it is still the foundation of fashion to this day.

With the mercury slowly rising, it's time to think about what trends are going to be in this summer moving from spring to the full throttle of the sun (being summer). This refined shade makes the base of every wardrobe and flatters every single person. (no joke it does)  This hue complements all skin tones but it also works well with every single shade of the colour wheel. Mixing and matching has never been made more easy.

But white from head to toe seemed like to be the obvious choice for the spring to summer transition.  Designers have expressed their admiration for this lovely shade lately in the spring/summer shows in NYC. With many designers such as Valentino, Simone Rocha and Stella McCartney going for the pretty filigree fabrics.



Wearing white is like a blank canvas. You can pretty much do anything you like. Add bold, bright accessories or keep it neutral and use pastel colours. Put your own spin and own it.

Whatever you do I'am sure it will be all White!!!

Always With Style,
