I attempted to be the hostess with the mostest at a party held recently at Captain Baxter to launch the Summer social season in Melbourne. We decided upon the tongue in cheek (or should that be tongue in chic) dresscode of ‘Yacht Club Luxe’ which saw guests break out sailor-detailing, floaty …

DressCode: Derby Day 2013
The races call for some measure of thoughtfulness to be put into your look so for chi chi tresses why look any further than a glamorous South Yarra salon? The wonderful folks at Conrad Mace (thank you stylist Sarah!) were responsible for my favoured asymmetrical Jessica Rabbit ‘do on Derby Day. …
MSFW | Reflections | Behind the Scenes
Have you had a chance to watch ‘Reflections‘ the official fashion film for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week yet? The concept sees gorgeous (inside and out) model Kate Peck racing past iconic Melbourne landmarks – in fabulous Australian designer outfits – with cameos from local faces in the industry. It was an …
Dresscode: L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival 2013
Just a few of the outfits I managed to snap (or get snapped wearing) over the week at the 2013 fashion festival. Printed dress by Boohoo (in honour of I Heart Bargains’ blog; it cost little more than spare change and got the most compliments of the week!) Wedges by …

DressCode: Ponies & Polo
I don’t mind being a little whimsical when dressing up. So when I saw this limited edition horse print blouse I just had to wear it to the equine-centric polo. Happily it fits like a dream. The rest of the outfit just fell into place from there. Inspiration points in …

DressCode: Stakes Day 2012
Stakes Day at Flemington’s Spring Racing Carnival is all about winding down. It’s a little more casual than the other three days in tone and fashion. So happy to survive the week relatively unscathed. My Stakes Day in the Birdcage was filled with confetti, beach balls and tropical pineapples so …
DressCode: Oaks Day 2012
Thanks to Lana Del Rey I tend to think floral crowns are a bit overexposed at the moment. Yet when I spied Leah from Fashion Journal at a lunch recently wearing a version flipped back it stuck me that the smallest changes can make something fresh again. Such is fashion! …
