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

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

easy does it

Important meetings and job interviews are the hardest to dress for! I never know whether I look too unprofessional, too 'fashion' or too OTT. This outfit came in handy when I had an important meeting the other day (prior to leaving for China). A beautiful blazer + white jeans + casual tee + heels = done!

P.s. I'm heading to Shanghai tomorrow.. whoohoo!

beach days

Last weekend, my man and I headed down to Black Rock which is about 20kms out of Melbourne. Although we couldnt find said rock, we had fun getting lost in the catherdral-like sand stone walls. I'm so glad I moved closer to the beach, I'm sure a lot of time will be spent there over the next few month! Hope you have a great weekend xx Sharday

here comes the sun

This jumper has been on high rotation lately.. possibly because it screams "Spring is on it's way"! Minty green goes nicely with so many things in my wardrobe, but my favourite item to pair it with are these Bettina Liano geo jeans and stilettos. ♫ Here comes the sun doo doo doo doo ♫.

baddies

I just love my new bada$$ Ksubi top & Karen Walker shades. The top has such a relaxed, comfy fit -perfect for Spring/Summer (who know's when it's going to start though?).

I also upgraded in the lens department. Bye bye KW Number One's and hello Anytime's! Yes I know they look pretty similar, but the Anytime's are the crazy, quirky, cool sister to the Number One's! Oh yeah!

black, white & burgundy

My three favourite colours right now are black, white & burgundy (even though two are technically shades!). Why? Because I just bought these super chic stiletto's from Green with Envy and a $5 hat (bargain of the year) from Rubi in that exact shade. The result has added a well needed warm touch to my overly black & white wardrobe. xx Sharday

noir & navy

Who said you can't wear black & navy together? Sometimes I like to prove these stupid 'fashion rules' wrong. Other examples are "never wear double denim", "red and green should never be seen" and for American's "never wear white shoes after Labor Day" (whatever that means :S). xx Sharday

study girl

Introducing 'study girl Sharday': this is pretty much what I wear on a daily basis to uni. Mix and match a few jeans, jackets, knits and voila! University is about learning, drinking coffee and procrastinating on Facebook. Not high heels, mini skirts and fluff etc etc. Save that for the weekend.. which I hope you all enjoyed! xx Sharday

cruisin'

Took a lovely stroll alongside the river yesterday with my home girl Gabby. It was a good chance to test drive my new stiletto's. You may have noticed I've been a bit slow on the uptake of the pointy heel. Well I'm on the bandwagon now but must admit they are alot harder to walk in than wedges!

mod girl

Sometimes I wish I was a Mod girl in 1960s London. Mod girls wear cream turtle-neck's, cute mini's and ride around on their boyfriends bike all day. Buy me a time machine please. xx Sharday

P.s. Sometimes very modern, mod girls also have constellation nail art. Heheh.

by the sea

It's funny how deceiving these pictures are. St Kilda beach looking sunny and warm, when in actual fact there were torrential winds and an earthquake the day before! My mantra (while my legs were in the process of snapping off) was "all for fashion", hahah! xx Shardette

P.s. This white bunny angora sweater comes from the same family as the mauve.. KAWAII!

Baseball jacket, Chucks and a touch of red. Why not? Everybody loves a bit of Americana.

melbourne, mossman & me

I'm so excited to tell you about something I was working on a few weeks back!

Mossman invited myself and 8 other Melbourne bloggers to pick a piece from the Neon Nemesis collection and style it up.

The photos were taken at Fitzroy Gardens by the lovely and talented Sureka from The Girl Can Shoot. The gardens are worth checking out, especially as it's Autumn and all the leaves have fallen.

You can see the finished result here.  xx Sharday
