A New Princess....

A dress fit for a Princess....

The lovely Kate Middleton has married Prince William with the world watching on. She now has the title Princess Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge - quite a nice ring to it don't you think?

I must say, well done Kate on a fabulous choice of dress. She looked beautiful, and very much a princess in the Alexander McQueen dress. Now to sit back and watch as Kate's dress is copied by the masses....

I also loved the dress her sister wore - very elegant.

Personally I think Kate's dress outshines Princess Diana's wedding dress, who is pictured below in a different, and much nicer dress by photographer Mario Testino for Vanity Fair.

And it's probably safe to say that Wills and Kate have a better shot at a long and happy life together. If the wedding is anything to go by, they're off to a great start....

Knee High Stripes....

I am quite liking these bold stripes....

Rainy Days....

I'm baaaack! Had a great few days away and saw some more beautiful Australian beaches. It seems that with my return summer really has gone with the clouds gathering and bursting with rain. And even though I had a longer summer here than anywhere else in Australia, I'll still miss it. Until next summer though, I look forward to finding beautiful boots and a warm winter coat. Every season has its upside!

Long Weekend....

I have never been good at packing light. I need options for all weather conditions and situations. This post is just a distraction - I should be packing right now. I made it a long one as I might not be back for a few days.

Have a happy Easter everyone xx

Easter is Upon Us....

Easter is upon us and chocolate is a must!

I am packing for a long weekend away, with visits to wineries, beaches and hopefully I'll get to see some Australian wildlife....

Sun Burst....

Love the way skin glows golden in the late afternoon sun....

Kiss from a Rose....

Perfume is such a personal preference. Over summer I wore Paul Smith Rose everyday - it was so light and fresh, yet still beautifully scented. Another gorgeous one for all you rose lovers out there is this one by Jo Malone. And there are also Jo Malone rose scented candles - so your home can smell like a fresh bouquet of roses....

Back to Basics....

There is something so comforting about basic pieces of clothing. They're always what you end up going back to when all else fails. Here are a few basics which are obvious wardrobe favourites....

A Modern Day Rapunzel....

We should never forget fairy tales no matter how old we get....

Runway....

Get off the runway and into my wardrobe....

Alexa....

Her style, her hair, her undeniable cool factor.

There's something about Alexa....

Natural Elements....

Indoor / outdoor living is the best way to make the most of a nice climate. I love the way these images show the many different ways to bring the natural beauty of the outdoors into the comfort of the home....

Softly, Softly, Summer is Ending....

There is just something about delicate fabrics so soft, you barely feel them against your skin. Those of you in the northern hemisphere will be lucky enough to be pulling out your favourite summer loves....

Noir....

The detail is amazing....

Swing into Friday....

Still keeping with the flower theme from the pretty bicycle below - I discovered this photo a while ago. Doesn't everything just look better with little flowers sprinkled on top?

Happy Friday everyone....

The Prettiest Bicycle.....

This is quite possibly the prettiest bicycle I have ever seen. Check out The Cherry Blossom Girl to see more of Alix and her beautiful photos of her travels through Australia....

Mid Week Style....

You can always find a reason to wear a pretty dress midweek. These two are both so different but I think they're both gorgeous....

Cool Mornings....

The sun is still shining here where I am in Australia, but gradually it is getting cooler at nights and in the early mornings. When I saw these images I thought they were perfect for the in-between-seasons weather....
