I am so excited to announce that Michelle's Style File has teamed up with Pilgrim to bring you this amazing giveaway.  One of you lucky people will win your very own 
Pilgrim Metal Wave Dress, available in sizes 6-14 and valued at $230!!!

I chose this style specially for YOU, my amazing readers, because I thought such a classic elegant style would suit so many of you.  I also thought this style would work just as well in Spring/Summer with some strappy heels as it would for Autumn/Winter with opaques and pumps!

Scarf- Sportsgirl (simliar)

Heels- Zara

Blazer- Cue (simliar)

Tee- Marcs

If I could only have one word to describe these jeans it's cool.  I can't explain it, but there is just something seriously cool about them!  And now that I have checked out the House of Holland bio it turns out that coolness was indeed the aim of the designer with the House of Holland girl being described as is "cool, confident and savvy"!!  A girl can only try : )

These jeans are from How Now Madam Cow- an online boutique who can always be counted on to provide the latest and greatest pieces for the season while maintaining that classic look- just like these jeans!  How Now Madam Cow also provides a personal advice service, which came in very handy when trying to figure out what would be the best size for me in these jeans.

In terms of these fabulous tie-dyed cloud like print jeans, the fabric is a nice thick denim and with 2% elastane they have a bit of stretch. I would say they give probably half a size with wear (as denim usually does).  All the hardware is brass which is such a lovely touch and lends itself to rose gold jewellery perfectly.  They sit high on the waist with a slim fit making for a very flattering silhouette and are available in sizes 6-14.  Check them out here.

On another note, I look forward to seeing all you Aussie fashion bloggers at
Fashionopolis this Saturday right here in Melbourne!!

How fabulous is this cape! I feel sooo cosy and it is the most gorgeous shade of red- just the thing now that the cold weather has really kicked in here in Melbourne.

This is what I wore on Sunday to the Walk In Wardrobe fashion market held at Boda Haircutters, Greville St, Prahran.   Walk In Wardrobe was established by gorgeous Melbourne girls Angie and Meg as an annual event to raise money for charity.  This year proceeds went to Kiss Goodbye to MS, an iniative of MS Australia to raise funds for vital research into a cure and support services.  A cause very dear to my heart.

The kiss on my jacket is the symbol of Kiss Goodbye to MS.

WEAR RED LIPSTICK, DARE OTHERS TO GO RED.

Here are a few pics from the markets:

Who doesn't love a maxi dress! There is something effortless and instantly glamourous about them.  This one is from THE maxi dress specialist, Paper Scissors Frock.  They have so many fabulous styles, but I do love the Grecian style of this one in the most beautiful of blues.  This is what I wore last Sunday, the weather was still slightly mild with glimpses of sunshine, unlike this weekend!!

Don't forget about my giveaway to win your very own Flower Tote
