This Ellery dress is simply stunning. I was luckly enough to borrow it from my pal Gabby, to wear to my Graduation last week. Yes that right, I graduated from my Fashion Merchandising degree.. finally!! Now time to become an adult x Sharday

last minute xmas gift guide

I've been a bit silly this year and left all my Christmas shopping to the last moment. Hence why this last minute gift guide will come in handy, with every item being under $50. I'll be buying this Clarins eye cream for my Mum and a cute lipstick/nailpolish combo for my sister (shh! don't tell). Now I just have to go out and brave the traffic/hoards of people! x Sharday

street smith x shardette #5

Sporty luxe is the trend / look that keeps giving. Combining comfort and style is clearly the jackpot in outfits hence my love. These pants and tee are testamount to the philosophy and make bi-weekly appearances in my outfit selections. Oh & this new Alexander Wang 'Fumo' clutch is pretty cute also! 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

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

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

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

china girl

I wish I could say that these shots were taken in Shanghai but unfortunately I didn't have my handy photographers in China. So today I took a trip to the next best thing, China Town Melbourne. My recent trip has made me obsessed with all things Chinois.. these H&M pants included. Travel diary will be up soon 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!

I'm kinda obsessed with all things silver and transparent right now. Maybe because it's so pure and simplistic.. 100% chic! 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 ♫.

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

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
