Pretty Little Thing Metallic Skater Dress (similar style here), Steve Madden Heels (similar style here), EllaBelle Bianca Earrings and Monroe Bracelet.

The champagne is on chill and the cheeseboard is sorted and all that’s left for New Year’s preparation is styling a killer ensemble. Lately I find myself turning to the wardrobe classics for inspiration, like the LBD, or more specifically, the MBD – Modern Black Dress. SS21 is elevating the fashion staple with modern touches including peekaboo details and subtle fringing. As for me, I’m vibing anything with a dramatic sleeve and sheer finish, like this metallic skater dress from Pretty Little Thing. To style for NYE soiree, I’m reaching for a pair of strappy stilettos and teaming them with a luxe, statement earring, like these from EllaBelle.

How are you styling your MBD? I’d love to know in the comments below! x

Lost in a dreamscape of 270,000 crystal pieces, showcased in Ai Weiwei’s Boomerang at QAGOMA. Flitting around the gallery, I’m styling a Pretty Little Thing ensemble, highlighting an effortless white tee with a snake printed midi skirt. The real hero of this outfit is bold statement made by these faux snake ankle boots, best teamed with a glimmer of delicate rose gold jewellery by Liberte.

Pretty Little Thing Red Floral Print Tiered Dress, Steve Madden Nectur Stiletto (similar style here), En Pointe Collective Loved Up Earrings.

Spring is in my stride with this floral flounce mini dress from Pretty Little Thing. If it wasn’t the vibrant floral print that has my heart racing, then it’s the flirty tiered ruffles that swish in the breeze. I could be dashing to brunch with the girls or meeting my beau for a romantic picnic, but either way this crimson number would serve as the perfect ensemble, best suited with a stiletto to match.

Finesse this fine #OOTD with lashings of luxe gold, like these statement earrings from my local go-to, En Pointe Collective. Voila, this bold gal is ready to seize the day with style and a little too much sass.

Pretty Little Thing Lilac Blazer Dress and Snake Behati Ankle Boot, Liberte Delilah Gold Earring and Novah Gold Necklace.

I’m swapping party dresses for power suits like a bougie #bosslady and this tuxedo dress from Pretty Little Thing is a serious vibe. This blazer is the perfect combination of strictly business and statement, with it’s clean lines and structured silhouette (hello shoulder pads) meeting a plunging lapel and golden hardware.

We won’t deny that lilac is having a major moment in 2020 and this allover pastel hue is a total spring mood. If I’m not transitioning this piece from desk to dance floor, then I’ll be suiting up for the Spring Racing Carnival – after all, Melbourne Cup is just around the corner.
In the spirit of power dressing, I’m teaming my tuxedo dress with a killer pair of snakeskin inspired ankle boots, also from Pretty Little Thing and a flourish of golden accessories by Liberte. I’ve got a pair of points at the ready (like these Tony Bianco babies) for a more corporate aesthetic and would style this ensemble with a statement tote (Oroton must-have).
