White lights in the night and a Give-away!

You may recall in this post where I raved on about Melbourne eco-lovin’ designer Alex and his organic label SOSUME. (If you don’t, here it is again for ya). I was sent 2 Tees, grey and white. I actually love the white one more because of the cute pocket detail, but I wanted my readers to have the best one. Since youth my mother drummed into me that it’s better to give the best away. I can guarantee you that it will be softest Tee you’ve ever tried. So here’s a warning: you may never want to take it off…

To get you in the mood for a white weekend, here’s my latest take on the milky trend.

It used to be a joke amongst my friends that I should get a granny chain because of my forgetfulness and propensity to lose sunglasses. But recently a beaded glasses chain caught my eye at an op shop and its sheer beauty helped me erase the senility and taboo attached with it. It’s funny how time changes everything and trends can pleasantly surprise you like an anonymous love letter in the mail. The sunnies chain also doubles as a necklace!

Not sure if it’s because I’m attending 2 weddings within 3 days and since there’s no way I can wear white to these events, my rebellious nature has stimulated a desire to take the clean look to the streets. This year I’ve decided that I need to learn to adopt the Celine effect – embrace minimalism and instead of allowing clashed prints and bright colours always take centre stage, let the shapes and lines walk the talk. So if you also feel so inclined and love the colour white (yes it is a colour, ask any colourblind person), I’m giving you the opportunity to win the SOSUME white Vee Tee. All you need to do is share this post on your Facebook wall and Tweet it, and leave a comment below. Simple! The white winner will be announced Wednesday 8th Feb!

Have a wonderful weekend! Come chat if you miss me :) I’m ultra excited about a bestie’s wedding tomorrow. The theme is ‘Spring Runway’!

Where: After dinner at Abbotsford Convent

Wear: vintage earrings, dress and shoes, Pinkie the snail ring, Specsavers sunnies with vintage chain, vintage wrist clutch from eBay

So nice to see the sunglasses chain has officially made an appearance! I think it looks great and I agree, it doubles as a necklace! I think you look great in simplistic white, unfortunately, it tends to wash me out but I do love the clean, crispness of it. Have fun at wedding number two! xgt

Beautiful skirt, I love it and how you paired it with that billow sleeved top!
And wow, you’ve been to a lot of weddings…haha, I’ve only been to one and I was 3 at the time. All I remember is that I fell asleep on my mom’s lap during the vows. I know, horrible, but the highlight to me at the time was the cake. Haha, hopefully I can go to another one soon so I can actually enjoy it.

CC always looks lovely. She could wear a sack and rock it.
White makes me nervous – not by my means – but that some fool will spill something on me and ruin my look.
Still, a beautiful piece, and stunning outfit, Cecylia ;)
