To the point: Stiletto Nails

Shellac’s Cake Pop

Ladies, I know I’m not the only one who has been admiring the sudden trend of Stiletto Nails! Celebrities like Lana Del Rey, Rihanna, Beyonce & Adele have put the pointy trend in the forefront of the fashion landscape, seen as the popular nail shape for AW13/14. While this trend often captures a daring and even risky nature, I have incorporated a little femininity within my manicure seen in the pastel pink shade, Cake Pop from the new Spring 13 line of Shellac nail polishes. Add a few feature studs and your an instant rockstar!

For all Brisbane girls, visit Scratchers Nail Boutique on James Street for an amazing mani. Kisses!

Berry: Winter’s Desert Palette

Marcs Italian Melton Epaulette Jacket, Saint Laurent Tribute leather sandals, Marc Jacobs leather bag, Versace Versus leather skinny belt, Miansai rose gold anchor on burgundy leather, YSL Volupte’ Sheer Candy.

This season I am particularly loving the seasonal splash of berry hues, or as I like to call it, winter’s desert palette. With a richness in colour, berry accessories add vibrance to an ensemble. Style tip: team a berry coloured accessory with a sleek black look: wet look  denim or tights, a neutral coloured comfy knit, black ankle boots and dark shades.

Sheike Manic Crepe Jacket, Sportsgirl Baroque Print Dress (unavailable), Tiffany & Co Cherub charm and chain, Tiffany & Co Return to Tiffany earrings.

This Baroque print dress has been my summer staple and now that Autumn is upon us, I plan on celebrating its versatility by teaming it with some seasonal pieces…like this cobalt crepe blazer from Sheike. With a cropped cut and lightweight fabric, this piece is practical enough to wear casually while its still quite warm and can also dress up an outfit for nightwear!

I found myself frolicking through the meadows in this little combination with my fashion designer and blogger friend Lauren, otherwise known as The Fringe. We particularly loved the contrast of the cobalt blue and black against the greenery and setting sun. Don’t forget to check out her fashion blog, The Fringe and vote her as the top finalist for the Queens Plaza Avant Garde Design Competition.
