Bold and the Beautiful.

The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer and summer is on its way. It's time to introduce some summer colours into our wardrobes!

Invest in nude, caramel or beige basic shorts, t-shirt and heels and have some fun with bold, bright coloured pieces. I've included a few of my favourites below.


 Dress by Piper Lane. Available from Bonnie and Clyde

Generics studded leather bag. Available from Merge Subiaco. Generics are fantastic, up-to-the-minute, quality fashion accessories at great prices! Look up Merge Subiaco on Facebook to view the whole Generics range.

These Alice McCall shorts are so hot! You can find them on mycatwalk.com. I can't wait to get myself a pair of printed shorts. They are a must have for every fashionista's summer wardrobe.

Not brave enough to wear bold colours? Brighten up your outfit with a Matthew Williams leather cuff from mycatwalk.com.

Camilla and Marc 'Fume' skirt also from mycatwalk.com.

Mimco 'Liliput Hip Bag'.

Im loving this print by Sass and Bide! Shorts available at www.frolicgirls.com. Not only does it come in shorts but I noticed while shopping over the weekend that it also comes as super cute cut-out silk tops that would look great with worn in denim shorts or a nude tube skirt.

Tonight by Cat Grace available at Merge Subiaco.

Samantha Wills ring. Also from Merge Subiaco.


I hope I have inspired you to start building up your cheerful summer wardrobe! For more great new season fashion go to mycatwalk.comfrolicgirls.com or look up Merge Subiaco on Facebook to view pics of all their exciting new stock.

Hey, where's that necklace from?

That is the question I was asked many times over the weekend. I have decided to share my secret....its really a keyring!

I have always had a love for large jewellery. I have made keyrings, bangles, bits of material and anything else I can find into necklaces in the past.

Im sure you can imagine my excitement when I found my latest keyring/ potential necklace to be an enlarged version of a 'Tiffany's' key (way too nice to hang with my car keys!) I brought it straight away.

To make one for yourself head into Witchery. The keyring is part of the OCRF range so $5.00 of your purchase will be going straight to ovarian cancer research. If you don't have any chain in your jewellery box to hang your key on you can find a great selection at Spotlight. Just remove the keyring attachments and thread your chain through, attach it at the back, and your all set!

I must warn you though, wearing a large key around your neck you will attract many lame comments. 'Is that the key to your heart?' 'So you're the one with the key to the city?' and 'Can you please open the door?' So be prepared!

Sunglass Hunt.

For the past year I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of sunglasses. I have a terrible track record with sunnies, losing three (yes three!) pairs over a weekend camping at southbound and most recently reversing over a pair (don't ask me how I managed that). I have also brought numerous pairs that are 'ok' at the time of purchase but when I get them home they have not been what I was really looking for.

I have therefore devised a checklist;
1. The glasses must, most importantly have some black on them, (I am almost always wearing something black).
2. They need to suit my style, a bit different, fashionable and stylish but not too alternative.
3. They have to suit my face. Not to big, not to small.
4. Finally, they can't be too expensive. Don't get me wrong, I love everything designer and will spend a weeks worth of pay or more on an item if I am in love with it, but when reviewing my past history of sunglasses I have come to terms with the fact that I will have to become more responsible before I can have a designer pair.

The point of this story is to share my excitement in finding my perfect pair of sunglasses. My year long search is over! Whilst browsing in a cute local shop 'Et Seq' I discovered the new range of MinkPink Eyewear. Definetly worth checking out! http://minkpink.com/ There is a pair in the range for everyone, from the plain black to the bright (perfect for the festival season), and the square to the round.

Et Seq also has a fantastic range of clothing and accessories. They stock all my favourite labels including; Wildfox, Karen Walker, Tallula, Manning Cartel and many more! Drive on over to Birkdale street in Floreat if you are in need of some retail therapy or the perfect pair of sunglasses.

The Holiday Purchase.

I have recently returned to reality after a fantastic 10 days of tanning by the pool, sipping cocktails at breakfast, countless manicures, pedicures, facials and massages and of course lots and lots and lots of shopping. My holiday destination was obviously the beautiful Bali.

I really could open a shop with the amount of jewellery and shoes I purchased, however every shopping holiday also comes with a 'Holiday Purchase', the idea that 'these will be so cool when I get back and I will be way ahead of the fashion and everyone will be thinking 'who is that super fashion forward girl in the union jack leggings?''

Yes, there, I said it....the union jack leggings. I found them in a store called Religion which has a very rock and ripped t-shirt vibe for 300,000 rupiah. I was convinced (and still secretly have hope) that I will find the perfect way to wear them in my own style, however, i'm slowly starting to think that they may be on their way to join the royal blue ray bans, jelly thongs and giagantic plastic diamonte earrings (what was I thinking) and the other (now very cringe-worthy) holiday purchases at the bottom of my cupboard.

If the momentus occasion occurs that they are saved from their dim fate and I actually wear the leggings, I will upload some photos. Don't hold your breath!
