Pastels On The Pier

Last weekend I was lucky enough to review one of the most luxe hotels in Sydney: Pier One. I fell in love with the place after an event for the toiletries brand Appelles Skin. The hotel stretches along Pier One, which conveniently is under the Harbour Bridge….hello best view in the city! As the hotels decor channels nautical chic, it only seemed appropriate to wear a brand that oozes contoured lines and sleek silhouettes to tie in with Pier One’s theme. The weather was beautiful and the balcony of the room was the first place to capture these shots. As you know, I am a sucker for light and shadows, so couldn’t pass on the perfectly timed position of the sun with light play through the balustrades. 
















This two piece set has the perfect balance of fitted and loose style. The tops classic style and turtle neck adds sophistication, yet the wide legged pants are contemporary and pushes the boundaries on tailoring. Bec & Bridge are masters at reinventing tailoring pieces for the fashion forward lady. Their fabrics are lightweight and effortless movement is what comes to mind when I think of this duo. Therefore the harbour breeze on the balcony was the perfect place to portray this.

A smart tailored coat, should be in everyones winter wardrobe. In my case, a base colour of either black, grey or navy. It’s easy to style and instantly makes an outfit smarter. To finish the look off, I added a trusty pair of Jo Mercer suede snake like ankle boots and John Hardy silver accoutrements. I was fascinated by this bamboo ring, and here’s a little fact for you: For every bamboo piece purchased, the brand plant 4 bamboo seedlings. Nearly one million has been planted to date!

Stay tuned for my review of Pier One Hotel in the coming days, I can’t wait to show you where I stayed. You won’t want to miss snaps of the breathtaking view!

Blue Hues

Baby blue has finally snuck into my monochrome wardrobe! An early summer is gracing Sydney, so thought it was time to brighten things up a little (in baby steps of course!) I am still a minimalist at heart, but when I set my eyes on this Maven the Label dress I just had to have it. It’s sheer for the warm weather, so decided to team with a pair of trusty pleather shorts. Sports luxe style always seems to make a look that touch more cooler, so this mesh number was a winner. I can even see myself wearing this with a bikini at the beach. And with all the build up for Alexander Wang for H&M, I think the sporty styles will be sticking around for the next couple of months.










 Last week I met up with fellow blogger and friend Andrea at the Grounds Of Alexandria. It was an early start attending a smoothie event which was the perfect way to wake up! Plus, the free fruit basket was a great prop for the outfit shots we captured. I must say, Not a fan of the walk from the train station when the temperature is 25 degrees at 9am. My little British body isn’t used the heat quite yet! I’ve definitely decided that a smoothie maker is on my list for the summer. For the last couple of years, green juice has been a good boost for me. But smoothies are definitely a better option in the warner months and a good breakfast option. If anyone has any good recipes please let me know!










Hope you’ve all had a great weekend, and here’s the start to a new week with exciting things to come!
