Reunion at Camp Cove

Finally back together! As you can see, we felt the need to celebrate with matching outfits. In Sydney for a few days to collect French Passports, and of course a quick shop at The Intersection. Living up the family fun while it lasts.

Piscine Josephine Baker

Had a half day stopover in Paris, so decided to check out this pool on the River Seine I'd heard so much about. While I was expecting kids running around everywhere and oldies doing aqua aerobics, I got guys in Vilebrequins and a 2 hour wait to get in. Even public pools are cooler in Paris. See ya later summer, see you soon J!

Drinks At The Cullen

Made the genius decision to ditch gym yesterday in favour of afternoon drinks with Zoe and Rubs. We ended up at The Cullen after agreeing their happy hour snacks (pretzels and pickles) were definitely the best on offer. PS. getting so excited for our reunion! Can't wait to see you... and for my wardrobe to double!

Poolside in Mallorca

Spent our final day in Mallorca by the pool, which let's be honest is how we spend most days here. It's also my final day with Appel for a while which is sad...but we'll always have Paris! (slash we'll be back there soon enough). Pulled out a couple of my Brick Lane purchases for the occasion, have been so excited to show you the dress! Not long now till it's sitting in your wardrobe...

Last Weekend Of The Season

Went to the snow for the weekend which was amazing, and skiing quality was actually epic. Devastated that the season's over but also very excited because it means winter's over too! Can't tell you how ready I am to ditch the furs and boots... feels like my skin hasn't seen the sun in years!

Dinner Party in Deia

Went to a dinner party at my friend Chloe's incredible holiday house - finally a chance to wear my new arm bling! In attendance was what Appel refers to as "team fabulous" - ranging from Vogue photographers to international fashion show producers. After failing to find a cab home at 4am we ended up spending the night in Chloe's guest room...which as you can see meant we got to wake up to the most amazing views!

Whitney Eve For SG

Went to a talk that Whitney Port was giving on her new line for SG. Some of the pieces were quite cute but I'm not gonna lie, I was mainly there to see her. Also, how adorable is my jumbo-sized, pink poodle! I spotted her on the way out and knew she would make for the ultimate style snap accessory... I may or may not have named her.

All In Pink (take two!)

Seriously? Can't believe this matching has happened again. My packing space was so limited for Mallorca but I made sure to include a head to toe pink outfit (even shlepped the shoes to complete the look!)...lolarious. Twins it is. Just arrived, staying well out of trashy Palma in the beautiful Port of Soller. Ready to get my tan (back) on.

All In Pink

So I think it's safe to say I took my love of pink to a whole new level yesterday - dyed my pink streak back for one last time (again!) so thought it was only appropriate to match my entire outfit with my hair. Was a beautiful day in Melbourne so decided to take advantage and opted for a takeaway coffee in the sun. Hello Spring!

The Blue Door


Last night in Paris for a few weeks, so for our farewell we opted for our favourite combo of L'As Du Falafel and My Berry frozen yoghurt. Stopped for a snap around the corner...because who doesn't love a blue door shot! With our suitcases suitably overstuffed and after a teary goodbye to our beloved cat Flash, we're off down south.

Shopping At Topman

Took Jake into Topman today for a bit of a shop which was such a party. Dying for all the South American pattern they have in there at the moment... I kind of wished he was a doll though so I could make him buy everything I wanted! Also made me so excited for our London trip, Topshop Oxford Circus ain't gonna know what hit them!

Balenciaga and Comme Des Garcons

I'm not usually one for museums, but exceptions apply when fashion is involved. Went to Balenciaga and Comme Des Garcons exhibitions held at a recently relaunched space that showcases emerging and high end fashion designers, houses the IFM fashion school, and also includes DJs and a couple of bar/restaurants. Semester abroad perhaps?

Smash Cake

Went to Charlotte's for afternoon tea today which was ridiculously delicious. She had a birthday 'smash cake' (or the ultimate pinada). Complete with a mallet, it was a huge, cupcake-shaped chocolate filled with lollies. However the plaque on the cake was definitely the highlight... love it!

Palace of Versailles

Left Paris for a visit to the Palace of Versailles. Thought it suitable to pull out some gold for the occasion. Spent most of the day sun baking and picnicking in the incredible gardens..luckily everyone was too busy admiring the scenery to notice that I'd stripped down to my underwear to avoid grass stains on my Manoush skirt....(I hope!)

A Day At The NGV

Met Deb at the The NGV for the afternoon which was so much fun! They have the Napoleon exhibition on there at the moment but was definitely more interested in the sweet contemporary pieces. Also love that we're both vibing the orange clutches at the moment, although I do think your make-shift one might be slightly cooler than mine.

Arts et Metiers Station

On our way out for the evening, couldn't resist a snap at our favourite metro station. They've converted it into what looks like an old submarine. Seriously cool. Finally got to wear my Manoush shorts, amazing right! And yes that is my ipad cover that I've accessorised with...too far?

Yarn Bombing

Stumbled across these crochet covered bikes at uni today and couldn't resist a style snap. I've read a lot about yarn bombing but this was my first real life encounter and I can tell you now it did not disappoint. These three bikes were so awesome! Definitely worth a google if you have the time.

Day in Montmartre

With Liv here for the weekend, we ventured to Montmartre for some lunch and to explore the Sunday market. Perfect day minus the rude French waiter who kicked us out of his cafe for being too stingy on our drink orders! As you can see, Appel and I went for matching outfits - down to the Bolo neckties. We know, we're adorable.

My Kitten Shirt

Went to Pillar of Salt on the weekend for yet another birthday lunch (not mine this time!). Highlight of the outfit is definitely my shirt that I picked up from SG last week - it was obviously love at first sight with those adorable kittens! One guy thought they were so cute that he stopped me to ask if he could instagram my top. Hilarious.

Preseason C&M

Went to the Camilla and Marc preseason showing at David Jones. The clothes were beautiful, so summery in bright yellow, pink and lots of floral. Also had a seriously awkward encounter with C&M when they came over to speak to us. I was so in awe of them that I ended up turning bright red as my mind went to jelly... I think we spoke about drink driving... Not my best!
