Pretty as a Petal

A while back I wrote a post called ‘Kate, never the wall flower’, on Miss Bosworth. With summer approaching in Melbourne, I am embracing the floral trend as the bulbs are blooming. To be honest, I prefer wearing monochromatic outfits but sometimes when I feel like a perk-up, I throw on a floral dress or scarf to brighten my mood. I especially like to wear florals on sunny days. I found some gorgeous girls in floral outfits for your inspiration and enjoyment.

This is the ultimate holiday ensemble. Wild tousled hair, tick. Dark shades, tick. Gorgeous floral caftan, tick. Bright carry-all, tick, Balenciaga, optional. Bare legs with a great tan, tick and bejewelled flat sandals, tick.

This is the creator of he eponymous jewellery label: Assad Mounser. She is wearing one of her creations around her neck- gorgeous strands! I adore the ruffled shoulders and her Moschino heart bag. Certainly one with fashion flair check out her dazzling jewels at her website.

Texting pretty: I guess only a statuesque lady like her can look so chic in a long floral dress whilst sending an SMS. I adore her brown clutch and her ruched boots- who said you have to match your accessories?

This is a beautiful picture of a gorgeuos girl by Garance Dore. This girl is stunning and so is her cute outfit! Love the floral tunic, complete with a studded belt. I particualrly like thisphoto as Garance as really captured the youth and beauty this girl epitomizes, and her twirling hair shows a real sense of freedom of self-expression. I really want her shoes!

This is one look that is easy to follow- easy to pack too! Bring your favourite floral dress and throw on a tux jacket and you’ve pulled off the polished look so effortlessly. And the best thing about this ensemble is, you can change your dress and have the same blazer but you will look different each time! And yes, this is a great trans-seasonal look as the tights are optional.

The mot fashionable teenage on the planet- Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes. I posted about her belt recently and here is her full outfit. Isn’t her dress divine? It has all the primary colours in perfect combination. I love her belt (again) and her brown Prada lace-up boots. This girl just knows how to make everything work to the fullest potential.

This eclectic chic certainly caught Elle Street Chic’s attention, with her dorky glasses, denim cutoffs, gorgeous floral coat, cream YSL bag and rock-n-roll heels. 2 thumbs up for her original mix of quirky and fabulous accessories! I would love to know where she got her jacket from

Thanks for reading, start blooming today!

Red Alert

I went to 2 high schools, both of which had me in the Red Houses when I was young. We competed against the Yellow, Green and Blue houses in music, sport, swimming and debating. So from a young age, I had to wear daggy red Polo shirts. But now the appeal of red has returned to me. Red just brightens every outfit and it is beautiful for any skin tone.

Having complied a collection of red outfits from various Streetchic sites such as The Sartorialist, Elle.com, Garance Dore and various other fabulous blog sites, here are the ladies in red. Red really is such a fun colour to wear, don’t you always feel dressed up when you throw on something red? Whether that be a crimson bag, some red shoes, or a garment in scarlet?

My favourite red photo: She is wearing a red jumpsuit!!! I am so envious. Judging by that slim figure, the structured high cheekbones and that fearless stance, I am guessing she is a model- off-duty model. I like it how she’s teamed it up with a boyfriend blazer and leather thongs.

Sitting pretty: the girl with the serene expression- I love her cute brooch and the drapery of her red jacket. Lovely scarf too.

Carolina Engman of A Perfect Guide. She is one gorgeous blonde. Recently she was featured in Vogue Germany, the lucky girl! Ok, so this is more pink than red, but I had to sneak this vintage cape in!

What a lovely wrap! Love her hair and her Pocahontas-style turquoise earrings. This was a Garance Dore photo. She has captured the joy and warmth of the moment so well.

Here is Garance holding her high-tech camera. I love her little quilted mini and those fabulous heels. Her friend has a covetable red Balenciaga.

I know you are robably thinking that she is a little furry…but her red booties are to die for! They’re certainly attention-grabbing. Who’s wearing a furry jumper?

And finally, a Gwen Stefani look-alike. Peroxided hair, tick. Big dark sunnies, tick. Red hot style, tick! I love everything she is wearing. Great accessories- love the blue belt, the brown toe and her awesome 2tone pumps. The backdrop provides a brilliant contrast- beauty can certainly be found in every corner.
