STATEMENT PIECES

Mossman peplum jacket / Robina Akiem bubble skirt / Bahagia rings / Claire Aristides bracelet

As I start experimenting more and more with monochrome, to add interest to an outfit, I've also enjoyed styling outfits with different shapes and silhouettes.

Ordinarily I'd team a peplum with a skinny pant or pencil skirt, but I this bubble skirt, from local designer, Robina Akiem, jumped out at me and was too good to resist.

Peplum meet the bubble skirt.

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.

FACE OF BONBONS

Dion Lee dress / Ellery dress / ACNE leather jacket / Karen Walker shades / Ellery jumper dress / Kenzo inspired knit / shoes BonBons throughout

The wait is over!

I'm absolutely thrilled to share with you, the new face of Aussie shoe brand, BonBons - yours truly!

A short while ago, I was fortunate enough to be a part of what can only be described as a dream team of creatives, to shoot the BonBons A/W campaign.

I could literally go on all day about how I loved working with each and every person on the team, but my words wouldn't do me or them any justice, plus I think the pictures speak for themselves.

An amazing day, an amazing opportunity and amazing results - I can't help but pinch myself.

All the shoes featured here (and more) can be found online at BonBons brand new website: www.bonbons.com.au

Love and many warm thanks to BonBons and the creative team:

SHHH...IT'S A SECRET

Burberry Jacket via Trade Secret / Life With Bird dress / Bahagia rings / Wittner boots

There's nothing I love more than my designer fashion, except for one thing... Designer fashion on sale!

This ridiculously amazing Burberry jacket is my newest leather wardrobe addition, and just between you, and me was an absolute steal - in fact over 70% off!

Trade Secret - which is where this jacket is from, have recently introduced their Gold Label collection, which brings the best designer pieces, without the designer price tags - brilliant.

To my Sydney readers, be sure to check out the new Gold Label collection in-store at Trade Secret's Chatswood store. All the details, including stockists are available at www.tradesecret.com.au.

BALI BOUND

Boohoo.com.au top / General Pants shorts / Tony Bianco heels

I post this, as I hurriedly pack the last of my tropical wardrobe for my first visit to Bali.

I've luckily enjoyed many trips to Asia - Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan, as well as living in Vietnam for part of 2010, but surprisingly (especially to most Aussies), I've never visited Bali.

I'm really looking forward to checking out a new city, meeting some locals, savouring delicious Indonesian cuisine, and of course the shopping!

Of course, I welcome any tips, must sees/dos.

Be sure to follow @friendinfashion on instagram for all of the adventure.

MONOCHROME

StyleStalker top via Market HQ / Mossman shorts / Bvlgari Watch / Alexander Wang sandals

Tran-seasonal dressing for me is all about shorts and knitwear/sweaters.

Keeping it simple lately, experimenting with a mainly monochrome palette.

THE ICONIC

KJ by Kirrily Johnston harem pants / Zoe Karssen tee / Tony Bianco sandals

Regular readers would know that I can't help but be drawn to statement trousers, and this outfit is no different.

Recently I was asked by Aussie online retailer, The Iconic to jump on board and style an outfit from my top fashion picks.

I was immediately drawn to these amazing Kirrily Johnston harem pants. They have an incredible amount of detail, and really are a standout wardrobe item.

Topped off with this Zoe Karssen tee and we've got one of my favourite outfits at the moment.

All items available at The Iconic.

DOMAINE CHANDON SECRET GARDEN PARTY

White Suede dress / Aldo heels / Chanel clutch

Yesterday, my husband and I had the pleasure of attending Domaine Chandon's Secret Garden Party, in the picturesque Yarra Valley.

The picture perfect afternoon was spent enjoying Chandon’s finest vintages, delicious culinary treats (of which included these very pretty 'edible pot-plants'), the beautiful voice of Clare Bowditch and of course some garden twister, croquet and chess.

A scene taken straight from The Great Gatsby.

A big thank you to Domaine Chandon and Undertow Media for such a stunning afternoon.

LOVER

Lover dress via K&S Boutique / Samantha Wills earrings / Tony Bianco heels

As soon as this too-gorgeous-for-words dress arrived from my friends at K&S Boutique, I couldn't help but fall completely head over heels. The colour, the cut, the super delicate lace - all perfect.

I knew that I had to wear this dress for part II of my collaboration with photographer, Charley Greenfield. We shot these on Valentines Day, so beautiful pastel roses were a must.

The girls at K&S carry some of my absolute favourite Australian designers, including Manning Cartell, Camilla and Marc and of course Lover! This incredible skirt/crop combo is next on my shopping list - amazing or what!

As always, instagram for all the behind the scenes.

SEASIDE

Lauren Damelian dress / Fiel Sol necklaces / Witu clutch / Tony Bianco heels

Having a blog has allowed me the fantastic opportunity to meet and collaborate with some truly inspiring and talented people.

My latest adventure, introduced me to Melbourne photographer and art director Charley Greenfield. Last week, we escaped the scorching heat, heading to the beach to snap two looks - here is part I.

I look forward to sharing the next instalment with you and teaming up with Charley again.

As always, instagram for all the sneak peeks.

MELBOURNE STREET STYLE

Goodnight Macaroon coat / AM Eyewear shades / Rue Stiic tee / General Pants shorts / Converse

One of the best things about Melbourne is the way the city embraces street art and culture. A maze of alleyways throughout the city invites you to explore on foot, the amazing sights, tastes, and of course boutique fashion, which is at the heart of this bustling metropolis.

Hosier lane, where these pictures were taken has to be one of my favourites, characterised by walls plastered with the work of artists from here, there and everywhere. Every time I walk through there is something new to uncover.
