All That Glitters

I was determined to wear a dress today regardless of the weather. I feel like I’ve been living in pants for the past few months.

The weather has been cold and miserable all week, so I was pleasantly surprised when I walked out of the house and it was actually warm.

This dress has been hanging in my wardrobe for months begging me to wear it. I’ve just been putting it aside until I thought of how I was going to style it.

When these ASOS heels arrived in the mail last week, I knew straight away that I had to wear them with this dress.

I’m sure by now you’ve noticed my love affair with Mango. It wasn’t until my trip to Thailand, that I discovered how nice their clothes are.I was well aware of Mango before, but for some reason I just never managed to make my why into a store during my shopping expeditions.Now I’m kicking myself for all the missed opportunities to snap up an amazing buy…. Well, it’s better late than never I guess!I saw the sweater I’m wearing on Kate Moss in Mango’s catalog and immediately made a bee line straight for it. It was also the last one they had in stock too.. SCORE!Sweater: Mango || Necklace: F21 || Leggings: Glassons || Clutch: ASOS || Boots: Betts

Nuffnang Fashionopolis

Nuffnang Fashionopolis event premiered in Melbourne yesterday. Being able to sit in a room full of people who share the same interests as you, while learning from the industry’s professionals was a great experience.Nuffnang brought together Melbourne’s most creative minds. It was a day to mingle and get to know the blogging community. Rachel and I were fortunate enough to meet some incredible people who we’ve given a shout out to below!The venue was detailed with fresh tulips and white balloons. Our eyes were instantly drawn to the most comfortable looking and welcoming bed in the centre of the room. This is where Lady Melbourne presented from, giving a personal and intimate experience.Esther – Sweater: ASOS || Skirt: DIY || Necklace: Diva || Heels: Zara || Bag: Forever New
Rachel – Vest: Forever New|| Blouse: Mango || Pants: Mango || Heels: Zara || Bag: Jaspal (Thailand)

We enjoyed acting like kids in a candy store at the Sunglass Hut Inner Circle booth, having polaroids taken while trying different sunglasses. The crew from Reward Style were lovely and friendly, we hope you are enjoying your first ever trip to Oz!
Nuffnang Fashionopolis proved to be a wonderful learning experience, we look forward to attending more events from them in the future.

100% Noir!

I’m absolutely loving these print pants from Mango, they are extremely comfortable which is why I’m so tempted to wear them all the time.Last time I wore them was for the Chambray & Bold Print post. Both looks are very different but I used the same method to create each outfit.I chose colours from the print in the pants to put together each look. I think they both work very well.Ps. Noir, colour 460 RGB, 0% Saturation is what my t-shirt says on it, if anyone was wondering .
