FRIEND IN FASHION x LIFE with BIRD

LIFE with BIRD shorts, tank, bomber & belt | Balenciaga heels

To coincide with the their new Chadstone store opening on Saturday 7 December, this week, I've teamed up with one of my favourite Australian designers, LIFE with BIRD, to bring you my favourite looks this festive season. 

When it comes to party season, I generally head straight to dresses, so I thought I'd mix things up a little and style a range of different party favourites. The first look is shorts - who says you can't wear shorts to a party?

I love matching separates together and this pretty lilac tank/shorts combo are the perfect splash of colour, and this bomber is hands down one of my favourite pieces from the new LIFE with BIRD collection - so versatile and so chic.    

So If you're in Melbourne over the weekend, do swing by and join me at the opening of LIFE with BIRD's new Chadstone store. There will be plenty of fun and surprises - I'd love to see you. 

When: Saturday 7 December, 1pm - 4pm

Where: LIFE with BIRD, Chadstone Shopping Centre

Complimentary refreshments provided, as well as your chance to win a beautiful LIFE with BIRD dress.

MODEL-OFF-DUTY: BIANCA BALTI | FUR COAT + BASICS

Came across this model-off-duty street style shot of Bianca Balti that I saved in 2010, and was re-inspired. Loving the dowtown-cool mix of her fur coat with the basic tee and black jeans.

FINISHING TOUCHES

Three of Something cami, YSL clutch via Reebonz, Balenciaga heels, Zara trousers

As I find myself drawn more and more to classic monochrome, I can't help but focus on key accessories when styling an outfit. 

These Balenciaga heels (also seen here), were picked up on my recent visit to Rome and add a subtle splash of colour. I'm also a fan of patent finishes, particularly when it come to accessories, so I could't pass up this perfectly versatile clutch via my friends at Reebonz.

Reebonz is one of my online go-tos when I'm on the hunt for luxury items, and they are offering Friend in Fashion readers, an exclusive $50 voucher when you sign up to their website (here).

Happy shopping!

MONOCHROME

Dress, Cameo via www.zoie.com.au, Vintage Princess Bleeker Bag, Wittner heels

My first couple of weeks moving back home have been chaotic, between meetings and house inspections, which has meant keeping my style as quick and easy as possible. With this in mind, monochrome is failsafe.  

This sports-luxe dress is the perfect to throw on, when I'm on the go, and Vintage Princess have come through with the goods with this beautiful leather carry-all.
