botanica

The botanical trend doesn't seem to be disappearing anytime soon and although most think it's confined to Summer days - this is not true! Darker botanical pants can be worn in Winter with warm knits and cute ankle boots. Alternatively (for you Southern hemispherians) botanical playsuits can be worn with flatform sneakers & a shoulder bag and VOILA.. festival ready! x Sharday

SHARDETTE & GPVS x STREET SMITH

I'm so excited to show you these snaps Liz from Street Smith took of Gabby & I before I left Oz. We were lucky enough to give these Alice McCall dresses a whirl and twirl * pun intended * and the end result is pretty hilarious. I'm going to miss taking pics with my blogger buddy Gabby, as well as the uber talented Liz! Thanks girls x

winston wolfe

Winston Wolfe is a super amazing Australian label that you need to check out. Think stunning, chic leather bombers paired with drop crotch tapered pants. To be honest, anything that takes reference from Pulp Fiction is A-OK in my book. So pretty much I need to buy everything.. and get it shipped to Vancouver ASAP! x Sharday

the next adventure

There is a reason for my poor blogging skills these past few weeks. My man & I are packing up our entire lives are moving to Vancouver, Canada today! He has been offered an amazing job & I'll be going along for the ride.. blogging all the way. Can't wait to share this exciting adventure with you all x Sharday

oceanic

This past Sunday my man I took a little stroll down to the beach. It seemed the perfect occassion to break in my new Zara coat (sold out everywhere but my bf somehow secured one for me in Spain!) & paint my hair pink! You gotta love a bit of a silly Sunday x Sharday

Here's a simple outfit I wore to dinner in the city the other night. Loving these waxed RES jeans paired with a white shirt and statement necklace. I received the necklace as a Xmas pressie from my sis and although it's something I probably wouldn't buy myself, I'm loving it tucked under my collar.

year in review

2012.. what a blast! I had such a great year - spending time with my best friends, travelling to Thailand, Israel & China and in general, loving life. As for my blog, I got to attend some amazing events, met some lovely new friends and collaborated with many of my favourite brands and photographers. 2013 is going to be even bigger and better.. I have a big announcement to make in a week or two that could involve me moving to another part of the globe - stay tuned! And a happy new year to you all! 

P.S. Thank-you for your support this year and for following me on my adventures x Sharday

happy holidays

Wishing you a safe and merry festive season. Whether it be Christmas, Hannukah (belated) or your religion of choice.. I hope it's amazing! x Sharday

P.s. Totoro says HI!

beach days

Definition of a perfect Summer day: 1. Yochi frozen yoghurt 2. Sitting on your beach towel watching the windsurfers go by. What more could you want?

N.B. I can only do this on a 34 degree and under day.. anything over that and you will find me in my house with aircon on full blast! Haha x Sharday

This Ellery dress is simply stunning. I was luckly enough to borrow it from my pal Gabby, to wear to my Graduation last week. Yes that right, I graduated from my Fashion Merchandising degree.. finally!! Now time to become an adult x Sharday

last minute xmas gift guide

I've been a bit silly this year and left all my Christmas shopping to the last moment. Hence why this last minute gift guide will come in handy, with every item being under $50. I'll be buying this Clarins eye cream for my Mum and a cute lipstick/nailpolish combo for my sister (shh! don't tell). Now I just have to go out and brave the traffic/hoards of people! x Sharday

a day at the polo

Polo life is pretty glamorous. You drink Veuve, dress up in your best Summer dress & perve on spunky men on horses. Tough life! But on a more serious note, Paspaley Polo is a whole heap of fun, a bit like the races but more laidback and relaxed.. I highly reccomend it! x Sharday

LIFEwithBIRD Hawksburn opening

A few weeks back my sis (Emme) & I attended the LIFEwithBIRD Hawksburn store opening. LIFEwithBIRD are one of my favourite Australian brands and you might have noticed, I tote their Ryder bag every.single.day. Summer at LIFEwithBIRD is a pastel, floral affair.. very modern, but with a girly twist. You can see my outfit details here. x Sharday

what to wear: christmas edition

Christmas is just around the corner! When this time of year comes I'm always faced with that annoying question: what do I wear to *insert event*. Here's my little Christmas guide as to dressing for two very important dates:

The Christmas work party can be the hardest to dress for. You want to come across as respectable but not end looking like an absolute prude. I always try to stick to the 'ONE' rule. You can only reveal one part of your body in excess e.g. shorter dress = high neck/back, bit of cleavage = longer hem-lines, sexy back = high neck & long hem-lines. It's a no-brainer and stops you looking like a tramp in front of your boss... awkward.

Christmas day is the glorious time when you come together with your family, eat like crazy, spoil each other rotten & have a merry ole' time. This outfit is pretty simple yet uber chic & easy to wear. White shirts are my go-to item. They can transform the most casual outfit into a Christmas miracle!
