COMO SHOPPING CHALLENGE

Last week, instagram and twitter followers, had the first look at my Como Shopping Challenge adventure.

To celebrate, the recent refurbishment of The Como Hotel, and its prime position on the corner of one of Melbourne's most iconic shopping strips - Chapel Street, Friend in Fashion, along with a handful of other bloggers, were invited to partake in the Como Shopping Challenge.

Each blogger was given a budget of $500, a time limit of 2.5 hours and free reign of Chapel Street to shop a perfect, head to toe cocktail look.

Following a frantic afternoon of power shopping, we were invited back to the Como Hotel, pampered with champagne and strawberries, while the team at Miss Fox, transformed our hair and make up.

The evening concluding with canapes and couturier duo, J'Aton judging each blogger's final look.

After scouring each store, some more than once, I couldn't resist, embracing the pastel trend for the evening, settling on this incredible asymmetrical leather skirt, and mint silk camisole from Australian designer, White Suede.

Fiel Sol accessories and Tony Bianco sandals completed my look for the evening. 

Big thanks to the Como team, for a  beautifully luxe shopping, wining and dining experience.

A short while back, the Betts team invited me to style some of their summer styles for their magazine - The Edit.

I'm definitely a summer dresser, so it was a pleasure to take some very pretty, and colourful Betts sandals and heels and team them back with my very colourful wardrobe.

All shoes featured here can be purchased online at the Betts website.

There is something so effortless and romantic about throwing on a maxi dress in the heat of summer.

This beautiful silk print maxi, is compliments of Australian label, Spencer Lacy and is beautiful in its fabric and design. The asymmetrical shoulder and uneven hemline are such pretty features, and is not a combination I usually see in maxi dresses.

As my friend, B pointed out - very flamenco and very fiesta!

ZULU & ZEPHYR

As the second instalment of Friend in Fashion's 'swim series' (part I here), I thought I'd showcase, one of my favourite new swimwear brands, Zulu & Zephyr - the creators of this adorable high-waisted bikini.

I've long admired high-waisted swimwear, but wasn't sure if I'd be able to pull it off.

To be honest, I've found high-waisted styles much more comfortable and modest than traditional skimpy bikini bottoms, and who can resist the retro throwback.

The bold tropical print, and ruffles are the icing on the cake on this sweet 'palm waisted triangle bikini'

NEON MINI

So the sun is out, and nothing makes me more happy then spending any free time at the beach.

Last weekend, the Zoie team and I soaked up the rays, and snapped these impromptu shots, in my favourite Shakuhachi neon skirt. This incredible neon lace also comes in a dress, blogged earlier here.

There is something about wearing loud bursts of colour that makes me happy - neon on neon is one of my favourite colour combinations of late.

Bring on summer!
