Aje Spring Summer Vice Campaign

It’s funny how a single moment can make your heart beat so fast when you don’t want it to beat at all. It’s unnerving how a split second can make you feel like you’re either on top of the world, or under it. And it’s photos like these that make you remember how beautiful the world is, before it all comes crashing down.

Today I tried to find some solace, soaking up the sunshine in LA and browsing through my favorite online stores. The pieces I love from the Aje Spring Summer Vice collection; The Waves Mini Dress, Holiday Crop Shirt, Floral Printed Logo T-Shirt, Pippi Embellished Mini Skirt and Filomena Frill Strap Camisole in floral print. Find them for yourself here.

Sun Bathing In Arizona With Lack Of Color

Checking in with a very quick post because it’s one in the morning and a hot shower and sleep has been on my to-do list for the past few hours! But first I wanted to share with you the beautiful campaign from accessories label Lack Of Color.

Titled Sun Bathing In Arizona, it embraces the simplicity and power of neutral hues across a variety of designs and fabrics, while exploring fresh styles in the form of the label’s canvas cotton bucket hats, woven leather visors and baker boy caps.

My favorite styles from the current offering would have to be the Benson Tri in Brown, the Phoenix in navy trimmed with vintage ribbon and the Celestial Boater in black with glossy gold hardware. To view the entire campaign and shop the Lack Of Color Sun Bathing In Arizona collection for yourself click here.

Back To Bassike

I have to admit I am starting to miss the convenience of having my favorite Australian stores and brands just a short walk from my place in Sydney. Who knew that those silly creature comforts felt so good?! Which is why I turned to a few of my favorite Australian brands available here in LA this weekend to keep me in check.

My first stop was Bassike who have a bright beautiful store on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice. Where I (happily) spent all of my pocket money on their resort capsule collection. The new pieces that you’ll find in my wardrobe this spring include; A Classic Vintage Long Sleeved Dress in black . Palm Print Tee . Classic Vintage Tee in washed navy and also in black . Classic Beach Short in black and one pair of very chic Leather Slip On shoes.

Start Every Morning Over

I’ve been sitting here for the last week or so trying to write an eloquent and witty opening paragraph for this post. About how I’ve been terribly absent for the last twelve months because I’ve been preoccupied with work and other things. But then I backspaced and just deleted it all. Because small talk along with a long list of excuses just seems so futile…

The truth is the past year has been so much more of a journey of self discovery than I ever could of imaged. And although it’s hard to pinpoint what the single most defining moment was, I’ve stumbled across something buried deep inside me that has seen everything start to fall into place.

As for the future? I’m about to embark on an exciting new adventure, follow my dreams and move to the other side of the world. For that reason alone I know that my greatest achievements are still to come. While I would love to share more about my big move to LA, it’s actually way past my bed time. And I promised myself that I’d start getting to bed at a reasonable hour. So until next time…

All I Want For Christmas Is Chanel

You’re sure to have a luxurious Christmas with this edit of can’t-go-wrong presents and dream-ticket gifts. Because let’s face it. Receiving Chanel for Christmas is hands down the most exciting thing that could ever happen to a person in their adult life. If you need to purchase a gift today than my advice would be to visit your nearest David Jones store.

Once you’re there simply head straight to the Chanel counter where they will not only give you the best advice on gifting. But they’ll also send you on your way with a beautifully packaged gift that anyone would love to receive on Christmas Day.

If you can wait until after the break than there’s no need to battle the Christmas Eve traffic in-store. Simply click on the name of the object from my Christmas gift guide below to head directly to the item online.

Left to right :

Chanel Earrings. There is nothing quite as beautiful as OOT jewels and these gold earrings are a perfect addition to any jewellery collection. Not to mention an ideal finishing touch to any New Year’s Eve outfit.

Chanel Gabrielle Fragrance. The bottle is as Iconic as they come. It also smells so good, it’s the gift you’ll want to buy for yourself.

Chanel Boy Pouch. The Boy Pouch bears all the distinctive characteristics of the brand’s iconic design. Made in grained calfskin with gold metal hardware.

Chanel Huile De Jasmin. If you want to give the gift of perfect skin this year nothing quite beats Huile De Jasmine Oil. Composed almost entirely of naturally-derived ingredients, It smooths and nourishes the skin, while delivering comfort and suppleness.

Chanel Classic Card Holder. As someone who can never locate a business card amongst all the other items in my bag this would be the very perfect Christmas gift for me!

If you don’t have the luxury of time and you can’t visit the shops today than a virtual gift card is the perfect last minute present. My favourite online shopping destinations; Honey Birdette or The Undone Store.
