Lovely in Lace

-------------------------------------------

Today I tapped into the lace trend I think we will be seeing a lot over the upcoming warmer seasons. No longer reserved for wedding dresses (and the wedding night), this semi-transparent material is always undeniably sexy, and if worn correctly can exude sophistication. I paired up the black lace with this pink flowy skirt to create a more sweet and innocent look, but if you want to edge it up a bit I recommend pairing it with either bright bold colours or play with textures by pairing it with leather or even metallic fabrics.

I also bought my first pair of lace up boots! I've always wanted a pair but doubted whether I am 'edgy' enough to pull them off. But I decided to bite the bullet and clicked the mouse. I think they are officially my tallest heel - there was a point where I rolled my ankle and feared some prolonged shoe related injury, but in the end I prevailed limp-free! My final verdict?

 Love em'!

Floral Fetish

Exploring the backstreets of Newtown

----------------------------------
I confess... Im falling in love with florals! Maybe its the unseasonably warm weather thats making me feel the need to pay homage to Spring.  I am also loving the colours of this 1 & 20 Blackbirds Top! Prints incorporating a multitude of colours are always great because it means you can wear it in so many different ways, whether it be with a neutral or using one of the colours as a base. Today I decided on this faux-leather skirt to contrast with prettiness of the top. 
Just on a side note I ordered this top along with a few accessories from www.theiconic.com.au on Monday, and for only $5 it arrived from Surry Hills to Menai in less than 3 hours! AH-MAH-ZING! Needless to say I was throughly impressed. No more waiting 7 days, 3 days or even 24 hours for my delivered goodies!
