Candy Coloured

Hello hello! You’ll be glad to know that I’m back in summer mode today. In this post where I wore yellow and pink a dear reader suggested that I should team pink and orange together. She must know that I adore challenges. Especially if they are the video game or fashion types. The key to mix colours harmoniously is to combine them in the same saturation. Colours in the same tonal family blend together more naturally. That’s not to say that you can’t mix brights and pastels together, you just need to work a little harder as a matchmaker.

This vintage bag is one of my most treasured possessions. A structured Doctor’s bag, the clasps are pure genius and so far I’ve only seen Fendi re-invent these vintage fasteners. It’s roomy enough to transport our big mamma SLR and fit a pair of flatties for emergency situations.

Another favourite I’m sporting here are these Vionnet satin beauties (last seen here). They are ON SALE now! I bought them for my birthday last year to satisfy my shoe addiction. Classically black and white, they add elegance to every outfit and I mean, EVERY outfit. Talking of shoes, the lucky winner of the Shoesales.com.au Give-away goes to Amanda! Your shoes are flying to you as we speak.

To add a tad of tomboy edginess to this otherwise very girly and ruffly ensemble, I supplemented the outfit with harsh lined shades, cowgirl ‘necklace’ and the gigantic Dynamite MAWI ring. Voila. Candy floss transformed into Sherbet Bomb.

Happy Australia Day for tomorrow! What are you all up to? Or should I ask, what are you wearing? Can you believe that Outnet has an Australia Day sale? I’m attending a friend’s wedding and then catching up with another one who’s getting married on Saturday. Cannot wait!

Where: En route to watch movies

Wear: Vintage everything, Mawi ring, Vionnet heels, Serge Lutens Sa Majestic Rose fragrance
