Reverie Love

by cecylia on July 8, 2011

Recently I fell in love with yet another talented Australian-made Australian label, Reverie. ‘Reverie’ is French for ‘day-dreaming‘ . It’s so great that there are still talented designers in our country that work with Australian manufacturers. We need to get behind them and support them! Before the Australian fashion manufacturing industry becomes extinct…

Anyway, sorry for the rant, you may have gathered that I’m very passionate about this issue. The Reverie collection is simple, elegant and totally wearable. I am besotted with the blue ‘Elysee blouse’. The silk is so tenderly soft and the hue of the shirt makes it a dream-piece in my wardrobe. It goes with everything! You may recall I even wore it with a pair of trackies a while back, see here.

Recently I went to a friend’s engagement party so I teamed the Reverie silk blouse with my cream cashmere Karla Spetic skirt, a bow necklace I made and an ivory and silk tassel necklace.

I had to get some snaps of some of the stylish guests. This lady’s mustard Lisa Ho jacket is eye candy! Everyone thought it was either Chanel or Chloe.

The new fiancee and I – this stunner purchased her olive Alldressedup silk dress from our boutique.

Amanda was just telling me that she is a frequent reader of my blog, so I had to feature her on it! This smart cookie is a lawyer and an ex-model. Love her tights!

You know I love colour, especially in winter. Colour is the secret ingredient of happiness in our lives.

So what are you all up to this weekend? I’ll be working at the vets and meeting friends for dinners. Hope the weather is mighty fine and you get to spend the weekend with many of your loved ones!

What I’m wearing: Karla Spetic knitted skirt (as scarf), Reverie silk blouse, vintage necklaces, bag and coat, Paula Walden ring, Karla Spetic cashmere skirt, Country Road pumps

Blousing Around

by cecylia on June 28, 2011

Melbournians love to layer. It has been very cold lately so everyone is rugging up. But it’s rarely cold enough for us to pull out our thick coats. So how do Melbournians keep warm? We layer!

When we chose the Spijkers en Spijkers wool jumpsuit and the Karla Spetic silk dress for this pair, we knew a key ingredient was missing from this recipe for stylish winter style – a chic blouse! So we paired these divine silk shirts with the jumpsuit/dress.

Left: Alldressedup blouse, Spijkers en Spijkers wool jumpsuit, Damselfly bejewelled epaulet, Repetto clutch

Right: Bento blouse, Alldressedup necklace, Karla Spetic dress, Damselfly bracelet, Omero polka dot stockings

So fashionistas, tell us how do you layer in winter?
