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

I'm back from China and I've had to do a serious catch up on the Spring collections. One thing I've noticed is that crazy floral/techno prints are here to stay. As Miranda Priestly would say "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking", but in all seriousness florals ain't going no where! Love love love the entire 3.1 Phillip Lim collection.

the cat's meow

Still loving these H&M floral pants. They are the perfect item to brighten up a cold and miserable Melbourne winter day. P.s. How cute is this cat tee? I love that it sneaks out behind my jacket and says meow xx Sharday

stella mccartney resort 13

As you may know, I don't usually post collections but I am seriously FROTHING over Stella McCartney's Resort range. I want it all. White on white, reflective clutches and shoes, uber floral prints and those gorgeous yellows with a touch of tiger. I WANT IT ALL!

the future

What a day! Gabby and I had such a good time at FMF yesterday - thanks to Sportsgirl.

One of my favourite acts was Skrillex. And yes I didn't know much about him before.. but now I lurrvvee him. The crowd went absolutely beserk when he started his set.. it was unbelievable.

Other top acts were Fat Boy Slim, Swedish House Mafia & Hercules and Love Affair.

Bring on 2013 xx Shardette
