I don’t mean to alarm you, but there’s only 4 hours until VOSN (Vogue Online Shopping Night) expires! There’s some exciting, shiny web banners detailing some fabulous discounts – and if anyone deserves a treat, it’s you!
There’s no doubt about it, I’ve done my fair share of damage online today, updating my wardrobe with some new season, Spring essentials. I’ve rounded up some fresh little pieces from my favourite retailers who ARE participating in VOSN, so clicky clicky fashionista’s. Happy Shopping!
There’s nothing like farewelling a beautiful Autumn season, then seeking a gorgeous sunset in your favourite maxi. When in Brisbane, keep the layers light, fresh and in a fabulous print, like this Seed Heritage piece. Keeping things short and sweet, for all those social butterflies, of which I am one of, as I dash off to the Baywatch premier!
Fashion Myth: printed pieces don’t have the same stylistic opportunities as block basics. Now that’s certainly not the case for this starry number by Marcs, as I see plenty of versatility to dress up or dress down this piece with just the right accessories. Presenting a quick how to style 1 dress 2 ways, from casual to chic.
1. Dress down the elaborate print of this piece with the ultimate “cool girl” accessory – a buttery, leather jacket. I tend to favour a cropped cut as it appears more feminine when layered over your favourite shift dress.
2. Team with a pair of ankle boots, like these Wittner booties. Never have I seen a more practical purchase with it’s sensible, stacked, block heel – perfect for endless roaming and shopping.
3. A bucket bag is the perfect choice for day to day wear, allowing for effortless storage possibilities and a cool, sling over your shoulder statement.
4. Accessories are best kept simple, understated with a touch of glam. There’s nothing I love more than a statement, stone ring like this Samantha Wills find, teamed with a pair of luxe Prada shades.
Chic
1. A tailored blazer is the perfect way to layer this frock, whilst evaluating to chic status. I’m loving styles that offer a little extra length like this French Connection find. Not to mention, the lapels offer an elegant touch.
2. Swap the booties for a cleaner style, like a sleek Mary Jane in suede.
3. Emphasise the metallic strands throughout this dress with a matching, metallic clutch. This mini Oroton clutch is the perfect little accessory for a fabulous night out with the girls, storing your essential makeup items for sneaky touch ups, phone, keys and keycard. As George Gershwin once sung, “who could ask for anything more!”
4. Nothing says ultimate sophistication like a pair of pear shaped, crystal studs and naturally, Mimco is delivering the goods! Team with a classic time piece, like this Larsson & Jennings mesh strap watch.
Cute summer romps throughout Brisbane’s best antique spots call for a bold, bright colour – coral to be exact! This fun little number is from Seed Heritage and features a relaxed, shift structure with a ruffled OTS (off the shoulder) neckline. I love the texture seen in the polkadot print of the fabric and the playful tassels adoring the sleeves.
I’m teaming this piece with my faithful Birkenstocks (remember my styling post here) for casual yet chic getup. Because the colour is so vibrant, I’m keeping my accessories tame with Furla bag and a pair of gold earrings.
