halloween: what to wear

Halloween makeup and accessories are a necessity.  They can turn a simple cape ensemble into a mesmerising Saint Laurent witch get up! I've got a Halloween party this Saturday night and I can't wait to show you the creature/thing/persona I will be turning into! xx Sharday

This Kinoak bomber is ridcuously good. Paired with another OTT print and voila.. flower bomb explosion! You know how I'm all about the double print trend (as seen here) xx Sharday

Time for some more Halloween inspiration (#1 is here), this time it's Wes Anderson's classic movie 'The Royal Tenenbaums'. There's a plethora of characters to copy from this film but Margot is my fav <3. All I need is a blonde wig, fur coat and panda eyes. 

As you may have noticed I favour the kooky and spooky style of Halloween costumes. You didn't think I was going to post bunny rabbit and naughty maid costumes right? :P  xx Sharday

 This weeks Street Smith x Shardette post sees me wearing one of my favourite looks. I can just imagine wearing this stunning Winter Kate skirt and muscle tee combo around Melbourne in Summer. Dropping by my favourite cafes, walking through the park and doing a spot of shopping (maybe in less vertically inclined shoes?). Ahhh Summer! xx Sharday

Halloween is no doubt the funniest holiday of the year. Last Halloween I went as La Calavera Catrina (Day of the Dead), it involved a full hour of makeup but boy was it worth it!

I've decided this year to do a few posts in the lead up to Halloween. They'll include inspiration, makeup, hair and costume ideas! And of course.. the final look will be revealed as well as rad party pics.

This moodboard is all about spooky, gorey, creepy Halloween get-ups.. hmm so many possibilities. To go as Rick Genest aka Zombie Boy, the widowed bride or loopy Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver?

So what have you got planned?

in bloom

Spring is here so it's time to bring out the florals (not like Winter stopped that though :p). This Zara blazer was such a bargain. It was on sale in Shanghai for $20AUD!! I clenched it and dashed straight to the change rooms. No one was going to take my blazer. Bargain of the century! xx Sharday

metallic

Metallics have possessed me! I am obsessed with this current trend of reflective greeny/blue metallics and simple silvers. If only I could get my hands on that wonderful Comme Des Garçon clutch.. sigh. xx Sharday

With Spring Racing Carnival, Graduation and the Polo looming.. this Michael Lo Sordo dress ticks all the right boxes. Tailored, simple yet sexy.. that's my kind of dress! xx Sharday

shanghai travel diary

I had such a great trip to China (and Shanghai in particular) that I can't wait to go back! Everything is just so cool, crazy, excessive and chic in Shanghai that I could totally imagine myself living there. Some of the highlights were the Yuyuan gardens, drinks at The Pennisula rooftop bar, soup dumplings, The French Concession and exploring the shops at Plaza 66 (a la Celine, Chanel, Maison LV). xx Sharday

CUT IT OUT

Laser-cut fabrics = a mix of sexy, chic & edginess that I'm loving right now. xx Sharday

bombs away

Bomber style baseball jackets seem to be all over the Spring catwalks this year. Love Phillip Lim's floral, relaxed style bomber as well as Charlotte Ronson's sexy versions. BOMBS AWAY! xx Sharday

spring essentials

The perfect outfit for those inbetween Spring days when you don't know what the weather will be like. And of course with my favourite touches of leopard, red and gold. xx Sharday
