DFO FAB!

Cue In The City Metallic Jacquard Dress (available at DFO Brisbane), Jo Mercer Jagger Heels (similar style here), Cue Blazer (similar style here), Thomas Sabo Key Pendant (similar style here), Pandora Rings.

Here’s something unsurprising, shopping is my favourite way to spend a Saturday. Purse at the ready, I’m excited to snap up a bargain and at DFO Brisbane, shopping for style is an affordable means!

Focused upon picking the perfect Mother’s Day gift, I spent the best part of the morning admiring the sparkly things at Oroton, sizing up winter pieces from Sportscraft and lusting over leathery goods at Fossil. Let’s just say, mummy’s about to be spoilt this year.

And the spending didn’t stop there. I picked up the cutest little Metallic Jacquard Dress from Cue to reward myself…and it didn’t even break the bank! Add a little blazer, a splash of silver and simple pair of black stilettos and voila, a chic little look for less!

Now for the exciting part! DFO Brisbane are gearing up to launch an AHHHMAZING competition to help you spoil mum (and yourself). There’s some serious prizes up for grabs and I would hate for you to miss out! Keep an eye out on the DFO Brisbane Instagram (@dfobrisbane) for details and how to enter! May Lady Luck find you! x

Peachy Keen!

French Connection Soft Drape Pant, Marcs Silk Lips Print Shirt, The Peach Box Roman Express Charm Necklace, The Peach Box Audrey Swing Pearl Earrings, Wittner Unicorn Heels, Michael Kors Blair Pave Watch.

You’ve probably noticed I’ve had a hair transformation this year…and boy, do I feel like a brand new me! Making the decision to go from icy blonde, to a warmer, richer blonde with deeper highlights has been a healthy change for my hair and my skin. I’m feeling fresher, younger and more adventurous to try new things…like that gorgeous, over toned pastel look that’s filling up my Pinterest #hairinspo album. Using a Rosewood shampoo is giving my hair a peachy pink tone, which enhances my porcelain complexion and insights many compliments from kind strangers…Not to mention, it’s keeping colour very consistent in my life, as I acquire more (you guessed it) pink!

This silk Marcs blouse is the newest addition to my wardrobe. Soft, feminine and highly flirtatious with it’s lippy print, this piece is helping to add a little romance to my work wardrobe. Completed with a pair of relaxed trousers and poised points, I’m ready to start the day, #bosschic style!

Of course, it’s only fitting that I incorporate my new pieces from The Peach Box into this ensemble, as pearls and rose gold metals balance perfectly against the pretty, pastel hues.

Into The Woods

St Frock Penelope Dress, French Connection Faux Fur Vest, Portmans Felt Hat (similar style here), Forever 21 Sheer Tights, Jo Mercer Sienna Boots (similar style here).

Into the woods and into a relaxed floral shift from St Frock. Straying dramatically from my usual “classic chic” style, I’m exploring the boho luxe trend in the depths of a forgotten forest. Layering is the key to this look, so don’t stop at a simple shift, combine with tights and outwear in the form of a vest or jacket.

Incorporating rich textures into your ensemble is a must. With one little faux fur vest, my bohemian inspired outfit goes from hippy to high end. Not to mention, this piece feels so soft against my skin and adds warmth on a chilly autumn day.

Finally, add a floppy hat for a gypsy boho queen status and claim your grassy meadow thrown.

There’s a lot going on in this ensemble from multi texture to multi layering, but as you will notice I’ve kept within a rustic, earthy colour palette, highlighting shades of navy, plum, camel and tan. The combination of these colours still looks unified and avoids the fashion faux pas of a matchy-matchy ensemble.

My last words of advice? Be bold and own it, bohemian babes x
