P.S. I MADE THIS: LACE SKIRT

Spring into Action
So a while ago, I blogged about the millions of projects I would attempt, I guess I did spring to action, and finish it, just in time for the season change. This is a simple lace skirt, match it with a silk feminine top for a beautiful tea-party look. 

Keep accessories feminine, think diamond or pearl tones, and keep heels sophisticated, for example wedges or simple darker heeled sandals.

CRUSHING ON: WHITE GOWNS

White gowns are a timeless classic, however, most people steer away from them faster than mouldy leftovers. However, the key is how you wear it. To avoid looking like a curtain of white, or a runaway bride go for shorter white dresses, like this quaint and sweet Lover Dress Miranda Kerr pulls off so cutely.




Want to make a statement?
Try matching an elegant white gown, with statement pieces, here Kelly Ripa has chosen a Carolina Herrera with bold horizontal stripes


Lost for ideas?
Edge away from classic looks, by combining a bit of sex-appeal to your outfit. Rock your world with a whole new dimension, this Alexander McQueen dress is far from your traditional altar gown. It's a party of feathers, beading and lace. Not for the faint hearted

Starting the trend
Serena Williams, aka Blake Lively really got the wheel turning in this Oscar De La Renta gown, for the white party in Gossip Girl. Not even going to pretend how absolutely stunning, and how much I adore this.


If you haven't got the white idea, try something softer like a soft pink gown. Reverting back to the ever-so-gorgeous Miranda Kerr again, in Eva Brazzi this time. Softer shades are less daring, however they are just as elegant.

Colour yourself this season in bright, bold colours. It's all about statement. The term 'colour block' quite literally means 'blocks of colour', so think bright, solid tones.

The perfect thing about this trend is that it's perfect for every season, weather, occassion - it'll makes quite the splash


Moustache ask you whether or not you like the ring?

All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust

Spring has just arrived, bringing with it absolutely gorgeous weather, so I couldn't help but pan out my outfits accordingly. Peter Pan collars add such femininity, and matched with a burgundy floppy hat, you're peter-fect for a Spring picnic! Keep accessories light and playful for a great day time outfit.




Hair in loose curls are not only very easy to maintain, but they're appear as cascading strands that Neverland


The back of this dress will have you bowing over, it's sweet and feminine, yet ever so playful with its revealing cut. 






It's a fairy frolicsome look, that I hope you'll be Hook-ed on. Boy oh boy do I find so much joy in these puns....

Crushing on: Taylor Swift in RED



The gorgeous Taylor Swift recently announced the title of her new album: RED. I can't help but fall in love with her in red, it's vibrant, dark yet bold, and she pulls it off with such sophistication. Here's a few of my favourite looks:




This beautiful Elie Saab gown is by far my favourite. Sexy, yet the lace detailing adds femininity and elegance. I don't think crushing is even a word to aptly describe it, more like fallen head over heels in love!



Girly and flirtatious, this is a classic Taylor look


She looks absolutely stunning in this Monique Lhuiller, which features a leg split, this is a classic look that turns heads not because of how much cleavage you're baring, but because of how elegant it is.



Who said it was all about dressing in red? This bold red lip colour she wore at the 2012 MTV VMA's, married with a white J.Mendel pantsuit is the epitomy is understated modern sex appeal.

Birds of a feather flock together

This was a sweet little outfit I wore a while ago, wasn't planning on uploading it, but this space is looking pretty bare, so why not?

Simple feminine tones, with lots of bird and spring motifs are great for a sunny day. It's elegant, yet playful. I wore this with a slip underneath in Winter, to keep warm (these are absolutely amazing, really great thermal wear). Jewellery was kept sophisticated and matching, simple pearl inspired earrings and bracelets.

One 'philosophy' by the oh-so-fabulous Coco Chanel has always stuck by me, I always take off one item of jewellery before I leave the house so that I'm not overdoing it. I'm a sucker for stacks of bracelets, earrings, necklaces etc. You name it, and I'll have it on me. Flock it, let's keep things minimal!
