Trend: Denim Midi/Maxi Skirt

Saturday, April 22, 2023

Perhaps this season's biggest trend is the denim midi and maxi skirt. Whether you opt for a midi at the knee (as seen on Kendall Jenner) or a floor scrapping maxi (as seen on Gigi Hadid), it is an essential item for your wardrobe. What I love about this trend revival is that you can literally take it from day to night. For a casual day look, pair it with a tee, loafer and a cute bomber. For a night look, pair it with a singlet, blazer or trench coat and add a finishing touch with a heel or bootie. I cannot get enough of this trend and I can't see it going anywhere, anytime soon!

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week 2019: We are Kindred

Friday, May 31, 2019

I recently attended the We are Kindred show during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia 2019. The Resort 2020 collection 'Boheme Heart', embraced "a little bit bohemian and a little bit party". A carefree, bohemian, effortless, and feminine collection, including the perfect pieces for your spring/summer wardrobe. The collection includes flowy long dresses, flare pants, mini shorts and jumpsuits/playsuits, off the shoulder silhouettes, plunging necklines and frills. A breathtaking colour palette of pastel blue, yellow, white and pink... with a mixture of prints, metallic and texture.

The show itself opened with Victoria's Secret model Alannah Walton.. yes that was a highlight of my week!

Farfetch x Style Profile

Monday, June 27, 2016

One reason I started blogging, was to share my love for fashion and style. I would frequently be asked where I purchased my clothes, upcoming trends and my style secrets. It's been six years since I first started my blog, and while trends have come and gone, one thing has always remained the same... my style and aesthetic. This post is inspired by Farfetch's Blogger Content Pack which I recently received. The pack is a combination of Fashion Edits, Trends, Blogger Style and an insight into Farfetch's affiliate boutiques.
MY STYLE
I would describe my style to be minimalist, refined, yet feminine. I'm all about the basics and adding trend pieces. I stick to white, black, navy and grey. I also incorporate pastel and metallic for a little fashion twist. I'm big on stripes and love a legging. I think it's important to invest in and build your wardrobe, to take you from season to season. There's are a few of my wardrobe essentials.

STYLE INSPIRATION
I draw the majority of my style inspiration from celebrities. I would say Olivia Palermo is my Style Icon. She has the ability to make any piece look amazing! I'm also a fan of Rachel Zoe, her love for fashion and style is infectious. I'm addicted to Gigi Hadid's style. I love her fresh and innovative take on style and trends. As a child and teen, I grew up drawing style inspiration from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Till this day, I'm still inspired by their style. I also draw inspiration from the runway, street style, magazines, online fashion sites and other bloggers.
BLOGGING AND MY STYLE
Blogging has definitely impacted my style and the way I dress. People look to you for inspiration. It's essential to be ahead of the trends, know what designers are stocking from season to season, and be aware of new products. I've really refined and defined my style since blogging, and I love sharing my style and favourite pieces with my readers.

FAVOURITE TRENDS THIS SEASON
The slip dress is my favourite trend this season. You can really make it your own. Dress it up or down, with a bootie or sneaker. Add a little tee underneath with a bomber jacket or trench coat during cooler months. Finish with a pair of sunglasses and a tote or clutch, and you're ready to go. I also love the off the shoulder trend, leather leggings trend and long trench coat trend. Take these trend pieces, mix them with your core wardrobe pieces and make them your own!

The Black Leggings Edit

Wednesday, March 23, 2016

The black legging is a core basic for every wardrobe. It's now, however, become one of the biggest trends. It's a piece that can take you from day to night. Take a cue from Gigi Hadid, who wore a pair of leggings with boots and a leather jacket. Then, for a more casual look, she wore the same leggings with a singlet and Adidas Superstars. Kendall Jenner opted to wear leather leggings for her model off duty look. She wore leggings with a fur coat and a bomber jacket. Selena Gomez and Karlie Kloss have embraced a more sleek look. Selena wore leggings with a long shirt, crop jumper and a pump, while Karlie opted for a similar look, but with leather leggings and a trench coat. Then there's Olivia Palermo and Poppy Delevingne's street style looks. Poppy wore leather, denim and fur, while Olivia wore a turtleneck, coat and MaxMara sneakers. I personally love leggings, and believe you can never have too many! I've picked a few of my favourites that you can shop by clicking the items below.
