THE CBB

CBB = Chic Black Blazer. Everyone needs a good CBB in their closet. I've been hunting for the perfect black blazer for so long (I always have to borrow from a friend for job interviews) but lucky for me I got to pick out this stunning Wish blazer when participating in the Wish Style Challenge. Can't wait to see how other bloggers have styled items from Wish's A/W13 collection x Sharday

spring by street smith x shardette

Spring has sprung in the Northern Hemisphere. Time to ditch the head-to-toe black (*yes I'm guilty of this one*) and add a little pop of colour a la J Brand's crazy Hydrangea printed jeans. For me, this is the perfect way to wear colour without going too far out of my comfort zone x Sharday

luminescence

As they say - when the sun comes out in Vancouver, it's the best city in the world. Sunday was an example of such. Everyone had a little spring in their step, or maybe it's because they had one too many Guinness? Personally.. I was soaking up all the Vitamin D I could get! The perfect Sunday. x Sharday

in the bag

There's something sneaky yet intriguing about seeing the contents of one's bag or wardrobe. Maybe it's because the items are completely personal so you feel like your getting an insiders look into their life. Presenting a sneak peek into my current bag contents.

Clockwise: Celine inspired tote (ordered from a leather shop in Shanghai)  /  Gorman key charm  /  Le Specs sunglasses  /  Yen mag  /  kikki.k diary  /  Alexander Wang Fumo wallet  /  Cat iPhone case (crazy in love with this guy)  /  Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in 'Admirable'

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

baby blue jeans

I'm not going to lie. I've worn these jeans everyday since I got them! Something about their colour, strategic rips & relaxed fit makes me happy. Perfect Summer jeans paired with my perfect new Gorman sandals = LOVE LOVE LOVE x Sharday

man eater

Man eater? No not me.. my tee! This Givenchy tee is pretty slick, it adds instant cred to any outfit. Too bad I bought it way too big, so it's kind of a shark dress. Either way, I love it and I've named him Freddy (the man eater!) xx Sharday

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

bring on spring

Sunday means fun day! Melbourne brought out the sun yesterday for a little taste of Spring. I cannot wait for Spring to begin. Think flowers, bright colours, sunshine and Spring Racing Carnival! Yipee! xx Sharday

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

the skirt

I'm not usually a skirt kinda girl. But theres something cute and girly about skirts that I should probably embrace more often. Plus skirts look lovely with cropped denim jackets like this one from my work. KAWAII!

stripes & prints

One of my favourite weekend haunts has got to be the Abbotsford Convent in Collingwood. You can take your pooches for a walk, check out the goats and have a mean meal at Lentil As Anything. Highly recommended for all those Melbournian’s who haven’t tried it yet!

How sweet is this puffer jacket? One of my latest bargain purchases of $40 and all thanks to two of my stylish gal pal's for the tip. Another staple to get me through winter!

lilac love

I am seriously in love with this lilac Angora sweater from my work.

It's such a beautiful shade of purple, feels like a cloud & reminds me of a 1950s Susie Homemaker.

If I was Betty Draper in Mad Man, I would definately wear this all day, sipping gin etc etc.
