What I Wore Today…

I had been saving this dress for a rainy day… & today was the day I finally decided to bring it out of the closet

I purchased this dress nearly a year ago {on the same shopping trip that saw me buy my Carla Zampatti ball gown for the Alex Perry AEIOU event}. I love it, but have never quite found the perfect occasion to wear it. So I just decided it was time to stop waiting and wear it somewhere!

The 50’s shape is so divine and I adore the netting and the layers of silk chiffon in the skirt. It’s so fun and whimsical – perfect for twirling!

I wore my Carla Zampatti cocktail dress with my Mollini heels and Prada handbag.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! xx

Statement Earrings

Frame your face with glistening gems

When updating your wardrobe for the new season, don’t forget your jewellery box.

At the Prada Spring / Summer 2012 runway presentation, jewellery made as much a statement as the clothes. The earrings in particular were bold, charismatic and impossible to ignore.

Ornate antique inspired earrings, with sweet enamel flowers in bursts of pastel colours and tear drop precious gems, added an unexpected polish and drama to the collection.

Part Old-Hollywood glamour, part youthful sweetness; the Prada earrings are really quite breathtaking.

When wearing statement earrings, choose gem stones to compliment your outfit or be bold and embrace the unexpected. At Prada, for example, coral flower earrings with blue precious gems were worn with a light blue gown; while green and pink earrings where worn with a turquoise dress. Don’t be afraid to break the rules…

Will you embrace sparkling statement earrings? xx
