How to wear: Velvet

Velvet in spring is probably as rare as beach bodies built from chocolate cravings. But, it''s possible to look fresh in velvet this Spring, despite the melting hot days of Sydney Springtime! 

Think velvet accents, here I've gone for velvet pumps and an adorable floppy hat (it's important to keep protected this Summer, so slap on the sunscreen and hats!). Keep the look together with a breezy collared singlet and high-waisted shorts. 

Try to match accessories with your core colours, here I've gone for neutrals with pearl elements.

Every time I wear this outfit, I always put on Earthquake by Freedom Fry. Love it, or hate it?

BELLY FAT

Everyone has those days, the ones where you think your stomach resembles that of the hindside of a pig, rather than the flat 'fitspo' one you've been training all year for. Well, to those days I say: screw you. Wear what you want, what you like, and if you're going to hang and show like you're 9 months pregnant, then so be it. Love your body girls! 

Now, less ranting and onto the outfit:

 Love the Urban Outfitters Vaudeville & Burlesque Cross Front Dress? For a great spring shout, I've added a lot of bold colours, like red, aqua and yellow with a navy blue Peter Pan coat (it's perfect for every weather). However, I kept heels a neutral colour, so more attention could be drawn to the outfit. 

Loving the peter-pan inspired coat?

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 BLOCK

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?

Mirin dem calves brah?

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.
