The little chic dress in white, doesn’t get much better. Crisp white always makes for a flattering and feminine look and this cotton lace frill just adds that extra touch. The belt like detailing, cut out sides and front hem split combine to make a great “go to” dress for party’s, wedding and evening events. This look can be toned down with a funky leather biker jacket or even that oversized denim shirt tied loosely around the hips. I wanted to add colour so I placed on bold pumps and…

Jazz It Up
Sometimes a simple singlet or basic print top isn’t enough to Jazz your outfit up. I’m always on the look for a dressy and structured top, a top that can be a “go to” for weddings and those sporadic dressy events. Nothing beats a multi functional piece of clothing and thats what I love so much about this top. I’ve worn it with a high waisted skirt, for the more evening look and today it’s teamed with shorts, to show you it in a casual vibe. Now I know the …

Christian Dior Cruise 2015 Collection
One doesn’t need a magnifying glass or a pair of prescription glasses to see how crystal clear and precise Raf’s vision is. Christian Dior cruise 2015 was mostly inspired by scarves. It was all right in front of you — angular hemlines, usage of folds, subtle geometric cuts and pattern play. Some of my favourite looks from the very modern collection include the very light, yellow, orange and olive green embroidered organza scarf dresses, the embroidered and printed floral cotton dress worn on top of a black and white …

Zhang does Faddoul
I’m ashamed to admit I’m not a massive blog reader. I still love to flick through a great mag and the rest of the time I rely on failsafe sites like Who What Wear and Style.com. But among the few blogs I do click through to each week is Sydney sweetheart, Margaret Zhang’s site, Shine by Three. She’s one of those girls you’d just love to hate. You know, got it all. Beauty, brains, humour… she’s studying law too for goodness sake. But …

Jungle Fever Bali Styles
Another must have piece to pack for your up and coming winter escape is a jumpsuit! To me a jumpsuit is a trans seasonal piece, with a simple jacket this look can be transformed for autumn. Due to this Bali heat, the jumpsuit was left to shine on it’s own. Team with simple sandals, or mix in the pop colour heel for a more dresser look. I’m all about the tropical print and this new label Pfeiffer, did tropical so well!Wearing Pfeiffer Jumpsuit and Tony Bianco Heels. Nikki xoxLocation: …

perks of the job
hello! i won’t bother to make excuses for myself – when i started this blog, i was essentially a secretary in an office i loved but didn’t find very satisfying, and i’ve since bounced from job to job, remaining unsatisfied – until now. this blog served as a fantastic means of creative expression, a way to force myself to do what i love even though i wasn’t getting paid for it – it’s rather bittersweet that i’ve found a job now that is so fulfilling, where i get to be as creative as …

Today’s Special: Vintage Favorites
Sometimes I wonder if you could partially see through me if the lights were bright enoughREVERSIBLE LEATHER & SUEDE CROCHET PATCHWORK JACKET: Vintage // PSYCHEDELIC COTTON DRESS: Thrift // VAMPIRIC PAPER-WHITE PALLOR: courtesy of Netflix Instant (S1-4 of FNL to be specific)I wear this dress backwards, back to front (like Isaac Mizrahi’s mom).

Toni & Guy Shoot!
How-To Photo: Refinery 29 Oh my lawd!! So a few weeks ago I did a hair meets wardrobe how-to shoot for Refinery 29/Toni & Guy based around a classic hair style (I nicknamed it Mad Men). This is so the opposite to me that I thought f**k it and went for it. The team picked out a classic shirt and skirt and I added my own heels. Product wise the team used their Classic Collection (check here for where to buy). Always interesting to see another version of yourself…

Splendid Byron Bay Tote: Hold It At Bay

The Boyfriend Coat
As winter sets in and the temperature drops, so does the length of our jackets. Whichever iteration you choose, coats have always been the number one winter necessity. Gone are the days when women were only seen in their male counterparts’ clothing for dashing to the shops, keeping warm on a night out, or of course, the ;… Continue reading →

cooking your nemesis
don’t worry, faithful readers; this is not the post where i lose my mind and post a cannibalistic recipe. no, tonight i conquered one of my great cooking rivals – scallops. these (and potato gnocchi, which is for some reason absolutely impossible for me to properly make from scratch and cook without turning it into a slimy mush) have been my great culinary failing every time i’ve tried to make them at home, and it’s hard to express the frustration this causes me – i’m trying to think of it’s other-job …
