THE MIDI DRESS

JUNK midi dress / Michael Kors watch via Status Accessories / Edwards & Co balayage

Not a maxi, or a mini, but the midi dress is the most flattering of styles, with this black and white number proving itself not only as the perfect all-occasion dress, but also as the perfect travel companion.

With suit-cases still unpacked, all things travel have me more than pre-occupied of late.

After returning from the US, Mexico, Canada, Singapore and closer to home in Sydney, I'm glad to be spending some time at home, for now, however the allure of revisiting familiar places and unchartered territory is strong.

As the proverb goes - 'for my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move', and now, more than ever I'm excited of the adventures that lay ahead.

Until next time.

BELLINI

Move over little black dress, for me, as always it is about the perfect white dress, especially for spring and summer.

Unlike most from Melbourne, colour generally occupies the largest part of my wardrobe, but there is something simple and understated about a perfectly fitted crisp white dress, and this Bec & Bridge number certainly fits the bill.

Look no further.

This Shona Joy playsuit is THE ultimate wardrobe statement.

What's not to love - cut out detail, beautiful geometric print and sheer wide-leg trousers. I'm looking forward to the weather heating up so I can really get some use out of this gorgeous jumpsuit.

I'm now back from a fabulous visit to Singapore. You can catch a glimpse of my Singapore adventure over on instagram (@friendinfashion).

FRIEND IN FASHION FOR GEORG JENSEN, VFNO

Those following Friend in Fashion on instagram (@friendinfashion) or twitter, would already know that a short while back, I had the privilage of participating in Vogue's Fashion Night Out, as one of the blogger-stylists for luxury brand, Georg Jensen.

A glamourous evening, complete with styling lounge, champagne, canapes and a DJ, I, along with fellow blogger, 'sneakypeak', styled customers in the newest Georg Jensen collection.

Thanks to the Georg Jensen team for a brilliant evening, and all those that came along and enjoyed the festivities - a fitting soirée.

Also thanks to the man behind my mane, Jaye Edwards for styling my hair for the evening.

SPRING FLORAL

So not a lot of words describe just how much love I have for this floral wrap dress, via Melbourne designer, Emmajane.

Perfect spring colours, the most flattering cut, plus pretty ruffle detailing - dress perfection.

I've just landed in a very humid Singapore, and am really looking forward to shopping up a storm along Orchard Road, and convincing myself that seven meals a day is completely acceptable.

Food in Singapore is just that good people!

As always, you can follow my adventure on instagram (@friendinfashion) and twitter.

CAMEO

Introducing the second instalment of my collaboration with online boutique, zoie.com.au. You can check out the first here.

This very pretty dress has all the makings of the perfect statement dress and is one of my favourites.

I love the beige, black and neon colour combo and the full skirt adds the perfect feminine touch.

A winner for the upcoming spring racing season in Australia.

PATCHWORK DENIM

There is nothing that I love more that a great pair of pyjama pants - and these pretties, combining print and colour, are proving the perfect slouch trouser as we transition into Spring in Melbourne.

Monday I'm off on an impromptu junket of one of my favourite places to visit, Singapore, so I'd love you to tweet, facebook or even instagram any must-sees and dos.

I'm told it is terribly hot at the moment, so back to shorts and sundresses! I think this incredible shirt will also feature as a luggage fixture - so into all things patchwork at the moment!

Day to day, I consider myself to be a casual dresser, well mostly. There is nothing that I love more than throwing on a great pair of jeans and a tee.

Mind you, I love dressing up a casual look with some killer accessories, and this Fiel Sol necklace and Michael Kors watch, certainly add the perfect touch of sparkle.
