IN THE DETAIL

          By Johnny Peplum top via The Iconic / custom made skirt / Vanessa Mooney headpiece & rings / Wittner boots

My obsession for headpieces continues.

This Vanessa Mooney hair accessory, is beautifully delicate and adds interest to any outfit.

Another new wardrobe love of mine at the moment is this leather skirt, which I designed and had made on my last trip to Bali. I love to experiment with different silhouettes, so naturally, I had to team this wrap skirt with my new By Johnny Peplum top.

COMO SHOPPING CHALLENGE

White Suede leather skirt / White Suede blouse / Fiel Sol necklace

Last week, instagram and twitter followers, had the first look at my Como Shopping Challenge adventure.

To celebrate, the recent refurbishment of The Como Hotel, and its prime position on the corner of one of Melbourne's most iconic shopping strips - Chapel Street, Friend in Fashion, along with a handful of other bloggers, were invited to partake in the Como Shopping Challenge.

Each blogger was given a budget of $500, a time limit of 2.5 hours and free reign of Chapel Street to shop a perfect, head to toe cocktail look.

Following a frantic afternoon of power shopping, we were invited back to the Como Hotel, pampered with champagne and strawberries, while the team at Miss Fox, transformed our hair and make up.

The evening concluding with canapes and couturier duo, J'Aton judging each blogger's final look.

After scouring each store, some more than once, I couldn't resist, embracing the pastel trend for the evening, settling on this incredible asymmetrical leather skirt, and mint silk camisole from Australian designer, White Suede.

Fiel Sol accessories and Tony Bianco sandals completed my look for the evening. 

Big thanks to the Como team, for a  beautifully luxe shopping, wining and dining experience.

BLESSED ARE THE MEEK

 Blessed are the Meek skirt via SurfStitch / Fiel Sol necklace / Nick Campbell shades

For my last guest post for SurfStitch, I couldn't resist styling this buttery soft Blessed are the Meek leather skirt.

Generally, I love to wear lots of colour, but as soon as I slipped this statement skirt on, I felt like mixing things up a bit, channelling a head-to-toe neutral look.

In other news, it isn't long now until my birthday celebrations, which means the search is on for the perfect party dress. At the moment, Zimmermann and Alice McCall are at the top of my wish list.

As always, tweet, instagram or facebook any suggestions you might have - I'd love to see them.

Leather skirt

Dear friends,

Nothing screams winter to me more than leather!

I'd been on the hunt for the perfect leather skirt for some time now, but wasn't sure if I could pull the look off. That is until I came across this very sweet Alexa A-Line leather skirt, courtesy of the team at Viparo.

The softest leather and perfect cut, along with lovely details including pockets and pleats, Alexa was designed with me in mind.

I'm wearing:
Alexa leather skirt, via Viparo
Knit, Bondi Markets
Wedge heels, Airlie Beach
Personalised necklace, via My Name Necklace

Luv,
