pöl Gelati Maxi Dress - ASOS Boyfriend Belt - Samantha Wills for McGrath Foundation Aaliyah Ring - MINKPINK First Day Pocket Backpack from Market HQ - ROC Wedges from Westfield.com.au - All about eve Sunglasses from Sunburn Swimwear

This dress is nothing short of a dream - some wonderfully enormous cloud of blue, without being at all heavy. Without my favourite belt and bag, I would have worn it to a ball no questions asked (such is the versatility of pöl).

I don't think I've ever worn a ring that's, at most, much larger than... say... a cherry tomato - and with reason (I've always found large rings so intimidating). Having said this, there really isn't anything not to love about this Samantha Wills ring - I will never get past the cracked marble effect. Better yet, all proceeds to the McGrath Foundation - sometimes I feel like the fashion industry is such a bubble, so it's always so lovely to see designers pass on their creativity to help those who need it! Make sure you check out the whole collection - such sweet pink goodness.



I know - I few more photos than usual... but really, the movement in the dress is far too good to keep to myself.

As for the Blackberry making an appearance, I quite honestly didn't realise I was holding it until I sat down to do this post. Crackberry.

P.S. Thank you all you Sydney-siders who entered my quick little ticket giveaway over the weekend! I just drew the winners - congratulations to:

Two steps back.

Somedays Lovin' Dress/Shirt - Dotti Opaque Tights - ROC Boots Wedges from Westfield.com.au - Vintage Bag - Market Hat

It always so happens that the arrival of Winter makes me hang on to Autumn and its associated colours and crunchy leaves. This piece of Somedays Lovin' probably does a world-best job of both these Autumny characteristics - I'd never been one for oranges and browns, but this wonderful hybrid of a shirt-dress (with delightfully half-batwing-ed sleeves) really takes the cake for snuggling with skim caramel chai lattes (so healthy...) and/or stomping down the street to restock on highlighters. That was a very long sentence.

My beloved ROC wedges deserve a shout out for being invincible.

I think I might make another trip to Dotti and buy 4 more pairs of tights. So much comfort for every day of the week.







Thank you all for the sweet congratulations from yesterday! I don't think I tell you guys enough how much you make my day (really - comments and emails are much nicer to read than piles readings by people who think they know things about the meaning of life).

*love*

Somedays Lovin' Open Back Tee - Fashops.com Pocket Shorts - ROC Wedges from Wanted Shoes (Westfield) - Covet Vintage Co. Tan Envelope Clutch - DITA Sunglasses

Evening evening - hope you've all had an awesome weekend! Mine was spent doing everything and nothing. As well as getting colour-happy to compensate for general rain and grey skies (March is great like that...)

Thankfully, the lovely Hannah over at Westfield solved my staple wedge woes with these incredible ROC babies from Wanted Shoes - I can never have enough tan leather! (They don't give my feet any grief either - oh the beauty of platforms!). I plan on wearing them with pretty cable knit socks in the Winter months, but for the time being I'm quite happy clomping around in them with shorts for as long as possible.

My appreciation for all things with awesome backs are pretty much summed up in this amazing tee (my Mum actually laughed that I was wearing a t-shirt until I turned around :p - scroll down). Definitely excited to bust out its slightly burnt-out awesomeness with every possible high-waisted pant.






I enjoy that my strange colour obsession looks like rainbow paddlepops.

P.S. If you haven't gleaned from my Twitter already, I am 100% going to NYC next February baby! I am beyond excited. Now to plan it all.

*love*
