Bare legs in Winter- crazy I know, but Melbourne topped 18 degrees last Saturday.  

Sun-shiny and fabulous!  

So now to something I wanted to share with you!  This week I was fortunate enough to be invited to a couple of events, the first being PeepToe Chadstone grand opening as seen in my last blog post.  The second was something a little bit different, a jewellery making workshop led by local jewellery designer A.l.i. Alexander at Lord Coconut- the destination for quirky and fabulous men's jewellery from over 30 local designers at Flinders Lane in Melbourne.

Each of us were given a piece of blutak to make into a jewellery design of our choice which can then be cast in silver.  Consequently all creative thoughts quickly flew out of my mind and then much to my dismay I knocked my red wine across the table, saturating all the jewellery making tools : /  Despite my efforts of sabotage it was such a fun and interesting night and I highly recommend my fellow Melbournians pay a visit to Lord Coconut.

Curious? Well check out my design along with my fellow bloggers over HERE.
There is also a chance to win one of our designs!

Mini Sienna Bag- thanks to Saba

Jennny heels- thanks to Steve Madden

Spiked bracelet- thanks to Beginning Boutique

Shirt- Country Road

Pants- Saba

Matchy, matchy from head to toe!  I couldn't believe how well the my shirt and pants matched these Steve Madden two toned heels.  Add my chartreuse Saba bag, layers of gold jewellery and my very bright, colour block combo is complete!

These pics were taken after a relaxing day at the beach and in the pool.  I threw together this relaxed combo with a quick easy bun and just a bit of bronzer before a night out in Surfers Paradise where we found these incredible flood lights by the beach!  I couldn't resist a night photoshoot for something different.

     

Sienna Satchel

 

 

Lulu and Rose dress- thanks to Glue Store
Pammyy wedges- thanks to Steve Madden
Chain bracelet- thanks to PeepToe
Sienna Satchel- thanks to SABA
Bracelet- Saba (right wrist)
Necklace- Target
Earrings- Tilka
Blazer- Zara

One of the trends I am loving at the moment is clashing prints! When this strapless floral Lulu and Rose dress from Glue Store arrived on my doorstep I immediately thought of my new floral Zara blazer.  The different size floral prints seem to work beautifully together and the key colours are very similar. OH, and the dress has pockets!!!

On another note, you have to admit this amazing mini Sienna Satchel from SABA really is the ultimate arm candy!  I fell head over heels for the chartreuse suede, but it also comes in ink and tan leather- such rich hues simply perfect for our Aussie Autumn.  Now the best bit... you can customise this satchel with different colours leather/chain straps and leather tassels for mix and match freedom.  I've added the chain strap to mine, plus a chartreuse tassel and an ink tassel. LOVE it!!

Buy it now; Love it forever!

Pammyy wedges c/o Steve Madden

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!!

Last night I attended the Steve Madden Australia Bourke St Mall store launch as their VIP Blogger.  Was such a great evening!! 

Of course I got to check out the amazing new store, the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere, eyed of soooo many fabulous new shoe styles, feasted on adorable New York style treats, caught up with the awesome crew from my local Chapel St store as well as some of my favourite Melbourne bloggers Cecylia, Connie (K is for Kani), Bianca (Miss Bias), and Lisa and Thom (Couturing).  Guess what... I even spotted Darren Hinch and have been kicking myself for not saying g'day!

And of course, the fabulous RUBY ROSE was there on the decks.  Let me tell you she is HOT! 

A big thank you to Steve Madden for having me along!

 

     

A day in Torquay

Westii wedges c/o Steve Madden Australia

Shirt - Portmans

Shorts- Marcs

January has become the month of wonderful getaways and day trips.  On Saturday we hit the road and headed out of Melbourne and to Torquay for the day- about a 1 hour drive.  After a delightful lunch (of cake) we went to Back Beach and straight in to the surf with the boogie board.  The beach was soooo busy but it was still wonderful- the ocean really is good for the soul.  

Such a great day!

Loving the cheeky back of this shirt : )
