Formal 'Double-Up' Affair

I'm wearing: Dress - Nookie, Jacket - Rhythm via The Iconic & Heels - RMK. 

Luke's wearing: Shirt - UBERMEN, jeans - ksubi & shoes - H-WOOD via The Iconic. 

This dress was always going to be a risky choice for me, but what's life without a bit of risky business? Cue 'Old Time Rock and Roll'. It's such a great design I just couldn't resist its call. Also, you can't quite see in these photos but this jacket has some wicked yin yang print action going on. 

Hope you guys enjoy our formal edition of the 'Double-Up' post!

Ink Print Tunic

wearing: Ink Print Tunic - Mombasa Rose, Jeans - RES Denim, bag - Ubud markets in Bali, boots - RMK & assorted jewellery from Indonesia & greece. 

On Sunday for Mother's Day my family gathered by the river with a picnic of cheese, meats, prawns and sushi rolls. I wore this soft, breezy tunic that I now really want in coral too, I love it that much. It was such nice weather in Sydney and we sat by the river for hours playing cards, eating and all the while trying to control my dog (Penny-Lane, who never sits still when you want her to). In short, she ended up in the river chasing after a toy. It was a great day.

Texaco

wearing: Dress - Market HQ, Jacket - She Inside, boots - RMK & Watch - Daniel Wellington.

On Saturday I attended a family birthday bash and it was cheese galore! Cheese, fruit, cake, salads, pork belly, pies, chips... thats what I like to see at a party, a good spread! Over my trusty striped dress I wore this army coat with wicked patches. 

The Texaco patch got me dreaming of travels because recently my thoughts have switched from backpacking europe to possibly an american coast to coast road trip. Both equally tantalising trips and I aim to do both one day. But which one will be first? I'm still pondering. If any of you guys have recently been across america and have blogged about it, please leave a link below as I am brainstorming places to see! xx

COINS

wearing: Zoda Bag & Mollini boots via Birdsnest, dress - Lola vs Harper, Sunglasses - Zero UV, long necklace - Vanessa Mooney & vintage knit.

Since last week was so busy for both of us, Luke and I decided to grab brunch by the ocean on Saturday. It was a tad windy but still nice enough for bare legs. I've been on the lookout for the perfect pair of flat boots (since I have so many with some sort of heel on them) so when I saw these suede booties I knew I had found 'the ones'!

Plus, if you follow me on instagram you'll know that I am already obsessed with this bag. It just screams "fun times baby". AND it has pom-poms .... hello! What dreams are made of.

Teal Jeans & PR Visits

wearing: Jeans - Riders by Lee, vest - shilla, necklace - Samantha Wills, hat - General Pants, bag - Mimco & boots - RMK. 

Last week I had a free morning to squeeze in a few PR showings & blogger events.
First up was the Steve Madden collection launch followed by Nine West, both held at separate penthouse suites at the Establishment hotel. Both included stunning designs for the coming spring/summer and of course sweet treats! Next was a quick visit to AMPR at Luxe studios. Really loving the look of the new Wildfox collection (Gatsby inspired!) and so excited for the new Jellys with heels!

I'm still super busy with my university classes and assignments but I also have lots more outfits coming this week so keep your eyes peeled for new posts, lovely readers.

Spaceman

wearing: Leggings - Evil Twin via Market HQ, Cardigan - Hello Molly, large ring - Annalise Braakensiek, beanie from the Somday's Lovin babes, boots - boohoo, clutch - rubi and sunnies - Zero UV. 

The title probably clued you in as to how I would describe the wicked-ness that is these leggings.  These days I can't wear leggings unless they are extra fun so I am loving these not-so-basic leggings and having a jolly fun time wearing them.  Also I can't go without pointing out the stunning ring by Annalise Braakesiek that has now graced my otherwise boring hand. Already a favourite!

Hope everyone had nice weekends! I had a big one (see this morning's not-yet-sober tweets - oops) so I'm going to crawl back into bed. Who am I kidding, I haven't left my bed all day! Ciao!

Hallows + Toi et Moi launch

wearing: Dress & necklace via Beginning Boutique, boots - RMK, jacket - Boohoo and Deathly Hallows ring via Beginning Boutique.

Last night I attended the launch of the Summer & Resort Collections by Toi et Moi at Manu Feidel's restaurant L'etoile. We were treated to a sweet show filled with floral prints and ruffles then on to a delightful, frenchie meal. I picked the braised pork with white bean mash plus a meringue dessert with salted caramel sauce (among other elements)!

I had the chance to wear my new Deathly Hallows ring (here from BB) which, as a long time HP fan, I am completely smitten with! Just adding a little extra magic to my week.
