My fashion weakness has always been feminine vintage dresses, so I was delighted to find this beautifully delicate number. The lace overlay is so intricate and just so pretty. The dress is gorgeous worn as a maxi or cinched knee length. I can’t wait to get some serious wear throughout summer!

A vintage belt, and bow headband pull the outfit together and complete the look.

On the prowl

Mission – organise an engagement party in four weeks.

Venue – check, guest list – check, catering – check, outfit – ???

The last few weeks have been spent frantically trying to organise an engagement party.

Finding an outfit for the special occasion is proving more difficult than I had anticipated. I am on the hunt for the perfect cocktail dress/outfit and heels, something, feminine, and unique. So I am throwing it out to the fabulous blogging community, any ideas or suggestions would be more than appreciated. The more pairs of eyes the better :)

I am looking for something white/cream and I can’t get enough of tulle at the moment!

Jeans: Target
Shoes: Shoebiz

Labels I love: Children of the Sun

Since my first Children of the Sun (COTS) purchase last year (Summer Favourite All Year Round) I have been hooked on this super sexy and feminine label. The unapologetic use of vibrant colours, bold prints, simple fabrics and fabulous cuts make for stunning, and importantly wearable fashion. Best of all, COTS is well priced, ranging from $50 - $150 Aussie dollars.

Described as reminiscent of old-school music festivals, 70’s movie stars, and exotic overseas holidays, COTS’s 2009 summer collection of skirts, tanks and cropped jackets certainly lives up to this reputation. Stands-outs for me have got to be the gorgeous dresses – from the stunning yellow ‘Farrah’ maxi to the body hugging, tie-dye ‘Frankie’.

For overseas readers approaching the cooler months, COTS’s winter collections are characterised by the most gorgeous oversized chunky knits - a must see!

Show some love and check out more of the collection at the COTS facebook fan page.

Bring on the Pina Coladas and balmy beach nights!
