A while back I attended a dear friend’s wedding. Housed in the majestic Ascot House, it was an elegant evening to remember. I worked during the day at the vets and drove from one end of town to the other in peak traffic, got changed in the car and thankfully, arrived in time. I sported my favourite Felder Felder dress and glammed it up with some vintage accessories. As it was a wedding my Marc Jacobs love heart heels, a gift from hubby for Valentine’s Day last year, were a must.

Had the best time -I danced the Bus Stop, the NutBush and various 80s classic hits in my sky-high heels and thankfully didn’t break any ankles. I ate 3 desserts and wished my waist band was elastic. I am grateful to witness my beautiful friends’ commitment to one another. May God bless you both! Oh and the groom bore a striking resemblance to Eric Bana.
Oh, please excuse my loose interpretation on head-piece with my clutch, trying to channel Charlotte Olympia there for a moment :)
Have a full-on day today. Working at the vets from 8-6, then rushing to the boutique, getting changed into my outfit for our one year birthday bash! Wish me luck tonight! And stayed tuned for photos :)

The weather in Melbourne has been a little crazy lately, 2 days of warmth and sunshine followed by 5 days of rain and gloom. To all our Melbournian readers- please keep warm, drink plenty of water and rest up. Even though frock season is coming up, we realised that we cannot live without our trans-seasonal pieces such as the shirt/blouse which takes you from day to night, from autumn to spring. Just throw on a cute skirt or add some peg-legged pants, and you’re good to go – to work or to a cocktail party.

The divine Miss Charlotte Olympia, one of our favourite shoe designers. Recently we met up with her in London, see the post here.
An amazing blogger – Karla Derras from Karla’s Closet, who has quite an enviable wardrobe of vintage and designer pieces.
And of course model/socialite/It-girl Olivia Palermo. We’re pretty sure that she’s the only one in the world who can pull off green shorts. But a checkered/patterned shirt? We’re game!

My July Shoe Lust-Have List- complied from the beautifully photographed pictures from Net A Porter.
How gorgeous are these grey and red polka-dotted linen Charlotte Olympia ‘Greta’ pumps? Charlotte is a London-based Luxury Accessories Designer. You can check out her complete collection on www.charlotteolympia.com. These cute pumps would soften a leather-clad look or compliment a garden-lunch-look. Either way, they will elongate legs, provide height and attract envious looks from passers-by.
These snake-skin and suede bootie heels are from Chloe. They are in my favourite colour. You can wear these with absolutely anything- jeans, skirts, dresses, shorts, in pretty much any shade. That’s the beauty of grey. I especially adore the palisading leaves curving around the back of the shoes. Simply stunning.
These Louboutins have got to be The Party Shoe of the season, named ‘Galaxy Pass 100 Sandals’.’ They are very Art Deco and are ultra stylish. I would not just save them for a ball gown for a black tie event, pull these beauties out and pair them with your favourite skinny jeans or grab your shortest mini since these heels are going to help your legs go on forever! These mirrored sandals belong on the mantle piece.
Another adorable pair of Christian Louboutins in blue suede. Great ankle tassel detailing, they would be so flattering on. I can imagine Rachel Zoe recommending these to her size 0 clients.
Ahhh, Lanvin, divine. What’s not to love? The gold cone heel, the black patent leather and the grey embossed upper are such a wonderful combination for the lady with sophisticated style. These heels will never date and will add an ounce of luxury to any outfit. Just do not get stepped on!
These Lanvin satin ankle strap pumps are kind of ‘Minnie Mouse going to a Disney Disco party’ shoes. I am showing this view so we can appreciate the intricate detailing around the back. These are so feminine and romantic. I love the pink satin upper, the black ankle bows and the jewelled-studded heels. They take my breath away. You rock, Alber Elbaz.
I love unique shoes and these Ioffer Randal ‘Neve’ ankle boots will catch anyone’s eye. They are in butter-soft beige leather- very flattering for any skin tone. Round toes shoes are so comfortable and chic. I just love the laser-cut mesh detailing. The mutiple erforations really give these shoes an edgy, urban look. A nice tan would be all that is required to compliment these booties.
