This has been my go-to outfit lately for zipping about town while looking a tad chic. Braveheart meets sporty luxe ;). I got the idea while admiring Margaret & Natascha's 90s grunge girl looks from NYFW & PFW. I just had to replicate this trend and now stealing shirts from my boyfriend and wearing them as a belt is my new favourite past time. x Sharday

P.S. I will be giving away these beautiful ROC sunglasses shortly.. stay tuned ;)

To me, this is the perfect Summer outfit. Soft water-colour prints, reflective aquas accessories and light-wood sandals. Bring on those sun drenched days x Sharday

fresh start

Exciting things are happening in the world of Shardette. This is my first week as an Associate Buyer at Aritzia, which was so hard to keep secret from you all. I am uber lucky to be in such an amazing company and super thrilled to begin my career. I'll be working on the Babaton brand which is aimed at sophisticated, young female professionals i.e. people like me! Prepare to see a lot more Aritzia in my wardrobe ;) x Sharday

P.S. I wore this outfit on my first day. I ditched the Chuck's and wore pointed loafers instead!

rainy days

Presenting my first blog shoot from Vancouver.. which should ultimately be renamed Raincouver. For the past week it has been raining (more so spitting) non-stop. But the show must go on.. and so it did. My poor boyfriend got saturated while taking these pics - luckily I was hiding under a little alcove! Let's just say Hunter Wellington boots are my best purchase to date! x Sharday p.s. the peace sign is now V for Vancouver!

urban

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.

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

sun your buns

On Thursday, Melbourne's temp hit 39°C degrees! Anything above 30 degrees is too much for me, hence this Ksubi tee (worn to the LIFEwithBIRD Hawksburn store launch) seemed quite fitting. Keeping cool while looking 'fashion party' appropriate is quite a challenge, but I hope I pulled it off ok ;) 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

street smith x shardette #3

 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

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!

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!

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
