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.

MONOCHROME

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.

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.

KSUBI

Ksubi dress / Chanel purse / Tiffany rings / Tony Bianco boots

Lately, I've been stocking up on great basics. When shopping a great cut and quality fabric is a must, so I was immediately drawn to this Ksubi t-shirt dress.

The low cut back and flame red colour were too good to resist.

So excited for a really fun photo shoot planned for tomorrow to tie in with Melbourne's upcoming L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.

THE SHIRT DRESS

NOIR dress via Rtister.com / Keepsake metallic clutch / Tiffany rings / Tony Bianco sandals

The shirt dress has got to be the ultimate wardrobe addition. More often than not, it serves as my failsafe work to party pick, and seems to suit any occasion.

This incredible silk print dress, which I picked up from one of my online favourites, Rtister.com is the work of Danish designer, Noir and is beyond words stunning.

I can already tell this will transform beautifully in the cooler months paired back with tights, ankle boots and my favourite leather jacket.

HOUNDSTOOTH

Manning Cartell houndstooth shorts / White Suede tank / Arm cuffs via Back Stage

As soon as I laid eyes on these incredible houndstooth shorts, I had to have them!

Manning Cartell has to be one of my favourite Australian labels, always feminine and always the right balance of on-trend pieces and classic wardrobe must-haves.

After NYE celebrations, lined up for tomorrow evening (you can check out my party outfit HERE), I'm off again on another road-trip of Australia, driving from Melbourne, all the way up North, to the Sunshine Coast.

Beaches, sunshine, and great adventures - bring it on!

Instagram (@friendinfashion), facebook & twitter to follow all the fun.

Happy new year to all of my beautiful readers.

MANNING CARTELL - PARTY DRESS

Free People Party Dress on Friend in Fashion

Manning Cartell 'bed of bergonias dress' / Arm cuffs via Back Stage

It's official - this exclusive Manning Cartell pencil dress is THE party dress for upcoming New Years Eve celebrations.

In-fact, this dress would be perfect for any celebration at all.

The cut, with bustier detailing is ultra-feminine and the beautiful digital floral print, thigh high split and apricot trim is too perfect for words.

Glamour to a tee.

BLACK & WHITE

Shakuhachi and Keepsake dresses on Friend in Fashion

Black: Keepsake dress & Shakuhachi belt via zoie.com.au / White: Shakuhachi floral lace dress zoie.com.au

Following on from my last blog post (HERE), I thought I'd share the second instalment of the lookbook shoot, I styled and modelled for ZOIE'S summer '13 collection.

Nothing beats the little black dress as a must-have wardrobe addition and this Keepsake dress, with sheer detailing and exposed back is the perfect balance of elegance, and fun.

Equally as important in my wardrobe is the perfect little white dress, so I couldn't help but pick out this pretty Shakuhachi floral shift dress to contrast with the black.

SKIRTS & BUSTIERS

Skirts and crop tops on Friend in Fashion

Cameo bustier, Shona Joy pencil skirt & Cameo leather-look skirt via zoie.com.au / Nike high-tops

Last week, my friends at ZOIE, invited me to again, select my collection favourites to style and model for their latest summer '13 lookbook.

Stepping away from my usual style, I thought I'd grunge my look up a tiny bit, pump up the lip colour and play around with my favourite prints, colours and of course shapes.

Here is part one of our collaboration. Stay tuned for more coming soon.

Sneak peeks, as always via instagram @friendinfashion

These bustier crop tops - proved to be my collection highlights. I especially love them styled with high waisted skirts.
