My Merry Country Christmas XX

 

 
 
 
 

Hello My Lovelies!

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and enjoyed time with family, far too much food & picked up a nice Boxing Day Bargain ;)

This is what I wore for Christmas Day - comfortable and effortless. Yes I know, another striped dress and another bloody hat! Hah what can I say? I like what I like.

For those who are unaware, I come from a very small, beautiful, Queensland Country town which is where I was over my Christmas break. I hope you enjoy the scenery in the shots. My parents have the best view!

Oh and my baby made a special guest appearance in some of the shots. He's just the cutest!

I hope every one has a happy and healthy New Year!! I look forward to sharing it with you darlings :)

I like to pretend I'm a badass sometimes ;)

My top tip for wearing a midriff top is team it with a longer hemline. I don't feel comfortable bearing the whole mid section which is why I prefer to wear mine with a highwaisted bottom and just show the slightest slither. But if you have the guts (mind the pun) to go full on midriff exposed,  power to you and Go Girl Go!!

It's a No Brainer

 

 

Stripes are a classic and always look polished without trying hard. I feel effortlessly stylish when wearing this top.

You don't need much to finish off a striped piece. It should be the statement in an outfit with details all subtly complimenting it beautifully. I used red lipstick and the gorgeous aquamarine clutch to add colour to this outfit.

Colour Me Happy ~~

 

Now this is my type of outfit. Bright and colourful - the same way I like to view the World!
Colour makes me feel happy, positive and more alive. Seriously, try a pretty, colourful outfit and tell me how it makes you feel. I guarantee your day will be nothing short of fabulous :)

I wear this top repeatedly and every time I do people think I've just had my hair done! (Mind you I did just get my hair done before shooting this). The trick to dressing in colour is knowing which colours compliment your skin colouring - this is vital to know. It takes a bit of experimenting and you can do it with your own wardrobe or go into a shop. Hold different colours up to your face and see how it makes you look - washed out or glowing? Try colours that you would never think of and look to see if the colours are more cool (blue based colours) or warm (yellow based colours) - this will determine your skin type. Once you've nailed your colour profile, and are wearing colours that compliment you, just watch the compliments roll in :)

She's a Class Act

....Well she tries to be.

Today I channelled my inner Lady (I'm sure she is in there somewhere!) by teaming this classic black jumpsuit with a beautiful oversized hat.

The metallic chunky heels on my shoes, along with the necklace lifted the whole look with a modern edge. It's so important not to be too cliché with your looks. You should always add your little touch - the part that makes it your own.

A Match made in Heaven

There is absolutely no need to ever be scared of mixing prints. It is fun and can really spice up an otherwise mediocre outfit. Go for it, try it out. You can mix even the most obnoxious printed piece with a more muted print and when done right you will come out looking amazing!!

I love wearing stripes and wrapping the leopard print scarf around my head I added an unexpected twist to this easy-to-wear maxi.

Through Blue Tinted Glasses

This is definitely one of my favourite go-to outfits. As you will soon learn I am obsessed with colour and will add a bright pop to pretty much every outfit. I am also crushing hard on hats at the moment - something you will also notice in a lot of my posts.

The boots & sunnies make this outfit a little bad ass (it's about as rebellious as I get in life) while the necklace and shorts keep it fun.

Bring on the Summer!!

 

 

Summer is just around the corner and I am so excited for it! It's my favourite time of year and there is no better place to be than the Gold Coast.

 

I plan on spending the long days at the beach, gorging myself on the amazing in season fruits, afternoon bike rides and socialising the balmy nights away.

 

Bring on Summer!

Getting Back to Basics...

Sometimes a gal just has to get back to basics and simplify.

 

I've become a big fan of easy streetwear & loved wearing this super casual outfit.
