Winter has definitely arrived in Melbourne and the temperature is dropping, but I've resisted covering up with a jacket and turned to the thermals- hidden under my shirt.  Sneaky huh!  I can't imagine why I don't do this more often and certainly will be from now on ; )

Loving this floral shirt!  I started this outfit with jeans, and all I needed to top of my look was an akubra hat and I looked ready for a line-dancing showdown.   Not quite the look I was aiming for, so yes, I did indeed loose the jeans quick smart and opted for these relaxed navy chino pants which are rather more comfortable than jeans anyway!

Pics of my new and much shorter hair soon!!

On Sunday afternoon I attended the launch of local designer, Cathleen Jia's latest collection hosted by Thom and Lisa from Couturing.  After a grey morning we were blessed with a gorgeous sunny afternoon in the very pretty surrounds of Domain Flowers, the most perfect venue and suited Cathleen's flirty and feminine designs to a tea!  It was also so lovely to catch up with the designer herself, Cecylia, Kelly and Jess, and to meet many of Cathleen's friends as well as Kyra of Pybus PR and Jane Hayes.

I wore this very elegant and feminine cocktail dress from Australian fashion label Pilgrim Clothing which was designed AND made right here in Melbourne!  Such a classic style and I love the little flippy hemline.  I should add it is fully lined and the quality is simply beautiful.

My bag from Ooh La La is also designed here in Melbourne!  Again a really classic, feminine style, annnd my ballet flats fit perfectly in the sateen lined outside pockets, doesn't get better than that does it : ) 

Here are some pics from the launch:

Last weekend hubby and I headed into the Victorian high country for a mini getaway.  We stayed at Bright for a couple of nights and found it to be such a sweet town!  These pics were taken on the balcony of our little hut in the bush before we went out to dinner at Sagana's Thai restaurant.  We received the most amazing service, and got to see an awesome spectacular lightning show.

On another note how fabulous is this handbag! New is Myer this month from Australian brand Ooh La La which is recognised for it's feminine detail, fashionabilty and great function- the perfect finishing touch to any outfit.  And best of all this bag was designed here in Melbourne!!
