+ Absolut Mode Edition +

wearing: Sequin top from Sgt Sookie, Sequin shorts by Lola vs Harper and Absolut Vodka 'Mode Edition' bottle with velvet drawstring bag.

I was asked to shoot the new 'Mode Edition' bottle for ABSOLUT Vodka and I decided on a raw look with wet hair and no makeup combined with enough sequins to make your head spin to contrast with the sleek, neat design of the bottle.
In the mid 80s ABSOLUT was the first major alcohol brand to collaborate with fashion designers which in my opinion is a genius match!

The limited edition bottle, made up of 16 facets wrapped with a blue silk label, will be available in Australia as of October and perfect for making summer cocktails. Cheers to hot summer nights and ice cold drinks!

Call it what you want

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
wearing: Dress-I like wolves, vintage boots and belt and my new leather pandora bracelet with '21' charm which was a birthday gift.

On saturday (aka the most windy and rainy night of september) I found myself wearing this amazing dress and running between two different parties up the street from each other.
At first I was scared about this dress getting wet but it showed me it could take it and I had the best time getting completely soaked while running in the rain.
One of those weird, fun nights that seems like it's out of a movie.

A couple of other things this dress is great at that I discovered that night:
-twirling
-using the skirt as a shield when a friend needs to go to the toilet but can't go in front of the other girls in the bathroom
-can be used to expand on your limited dance moves and get fancy
-did I mention twirling? Oh yeah and spinning as well. (see last photo for example)

The dress is by 'I Like Wolves' and you can get it via Market HQ.
I actually did a fun photoshoot with the team at Market HQ today so I can't wait to share what it's all about soon!

p.s- can you tell I cut my hair a bit? I cut off all the dead ends to make room for more during summer!

Grand Manor

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Not long ago I attended the wedding of one of my best friends from high school.
We travelled down the coast and into the country side to Robertson where there is an amazing old house (or 'Grand Manor') that was built in the early 1900s and was once a house for monks. It felt like I was in the game Cluedo or something, it had an awesome creepy-beautiful vibe.

The wedding was so beautiful and I included a photo of one of the bridesmaid dresses which was paired with red lips and some amazing red heels.

I wore this dress by Australian label Shilla. I love the subtle print and drawstring design. I matched it with my favourite heels, gold jewellery and this vintage faux fur coat (because it was utterly freezing there!)

Last saturday I celebrated my 21st by seeing family, having a whole bunch of friendlings over for drinks and then jumping off to another friends 21st!
I don't know how I'll ever top my birthday this year because I couldn't have asked for anything more.
I didn't want a big fuss but I still somehow ended up blowing out some candles at the end of the night. Not only did I get the presents seen below (laptop, 1950s typewriter, mimco wallet, bikini, etc) but I also got some amazing clothes, jewellery, homemade cupcakes and a pair of converse all stars.

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday in emails and on twitter!

Pony Express - Oracle Fox

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
wearing: Somedays Lovin + Oracle Fox tee, Topshop cardigan, Soles boots, vintage bag and cotton on skirt.

Ch-Ch-Check out this amazing tee, the result of a collaboration between Somedays Lovin' and the mystical artist and well -loved Australian blogger Mandy Shadforth from Oracle Fox.

For those who don't know Oracle Fox, Mandy is a true 'beach babe' with killer city style.
Mandy says the designs are "inspired by ancient mythology" and are quite similar to some of her fine art pieces, so I feel like I get to own a special little piece of her artwork!

The range of designs are available to purchase online now HERE, so go get some art into "ya"... but really, I can see myself putting this on whenever I go to the beach in summer (I can't wait)!

p.s- Tomorrow is my 21st birthday... I am flipping out! Quite excited.

SEAFOLLY STORE LAUNCH - Miranda

Photobucket

Last week I visited the brand-spanking-new Seafolly store that has just been launched at Miranda Westfields.

If you follow my posts you'll know I've been obsessing over summer lately and seeing all these amazing summer designs and bikinis just brightened the not so distance future!
The store is so bright and I love the wood detail and the hanging chair!
The new store also stocks the limited edition range of Seafolly designs (which you can see in the amazing front display - above).
My favourite picks would be the adorable floral shorts, the bright green bikini designs and the oversized Seafolly totes.

Below I've also made a movie of the store and the lovely staff on the day! Thanks Seafolly for having me!

I wore: Vintage denim jacket, Seafolly maxi dress, Soles boots via MHQ and vintage belt.
(As seen in mirror photos below)
