Orange, coral and red are in... all together at the same time.

Tangerine, coral, sorbet, terracotta and burnt orange are all over the shops at the moment.  It's a tricky colour combination, but retail designers are way too excited about this colour scheme to stop and ask themselves how we are going to incorporate this used-to-be colour faux pas into our long term wardrobes.


Portmans Sorbet Sateen Dress $129.95

Portmans Terracotta Stephanie Concave Midi Skirt $79.95

Cue Colour Block Dress $229.00

Forever New Bow Detail Skirt $69.99

This scheme reminds me of a Bollywood movie...  I feel like some designer stole this colour theme from a wedding.

Summer fashion is here (and so are my body issues..)

Me and summer are not friends.  I really love the cold, you can always add more clothes when it's cold, but there's a limit to how many clothes you can take off when it's hot.  Anyhow,  one thing I don't mind about it getting warmer is new season clothes.

Cue's new season has hit stores and my favourite picks are:

Sleeveless Shirt Dress $260.00

Shirt Dress $279.00
Not sure what it is I love about these sleeveless dresses.... maybe it's just the models have much skinnier arms than me.  I can imagine that these aren't going to look anywhere near as good when I get into the change room, but a girl can dream.

Seafolly Sophia
Bikinis are the next thing I love/hate about Summer.  When you go outside in Summer there are beautiful bodies everywhere to be compared to.  That's why finding a swimsuit that suits your body is one of the most important things about Summer.  Seafolly make great swimwear and you can buy the tops and bottoms separately in different sizes and colours to make the most of your body.


Forever New One Shoulder Flower Dress $199.99

How beautiful is this dress???  It reminds me of the Vera Wang Bridal collections  (Did I mention I'm totally obsessed with weddings... I could totally do this as a bridesmaids dress; and did I mention that I want a Lilac Vera Wang wedding gown?)


Vogue Fashion Night Out is coming!!!  It's on Thursday September the 8th from 5:30pm till 10pm in Pitt Street Mall.  Yay!
