STATEMENT PEPLUM

I've decided to continue to embrace all things monochrome. As I've mentioned before, I'm never one to steer clear of colour, but sometimes, change is as good as a holiday right?Speaking of which, I'm in the midst of planning out another global adventure. The thing with travel is that once you start, it becomes incredibly difficult to stop. I find myself compelled to explore new uncharted territory, whilst at the same time being drawn to my sentimental favourites.
As Bill Bryson puts it perfectly - to my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.
For now it's back to the planning station.

HOUNDSTOOTH
As soon as I laid eyes on these incredible houndstooth shorts, I had to have them!
Manning Cartell has to be one of my favourite Australian labels, always feminine and always the right balance of on-trend pieces and classic wardrobe must-haves.
After NYE celebrations, lined up for tomorrow evening (you can check out my party outfit HERE), I'm off again on another road-trip of Australia, driving from Melbourne, all the way up North, to the Sunshine Coast.
Beaches, sunshine, and great adventures - bring it on!
Instagram (@friendinfashion), facebook & twitter to follow all the fun.
Happy new year to all of my beautiful readers.

THE MIDI DRESS
Not a maxi, or a mini, but the midi dress is the most flattering of styles, with this black and white number proving itself not only as the perfect all-occasion dress, but also as the perfect travel companion.
With suit-cases still unpacked, all things travel have me more than pre-occupied of late.
After returning from the US, Mexico, Canada, Singapore and closer to home in Sydney, I'm glad to be spending some time at home, for now, however the allure of revisiting familiar places and unchartered territory is strong.
As the proverb goes - 'for my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move', and now, more than ever I'm excited of the adventures that lay ahead.
Until next time.

FAUX

To create this evening look, I started with black wet look jeans, and played around with different textures and tones.
I think this incredible faux fur vest adds the perfect touch of evening glamour, complimenting the shimmer and sparkle of the SW jewels and sequin collar detail.
Not long now until I venture abroad to the US and Mexico. I'm hitting up all of my online regulars in search of the perfect summer suitcase.
Crochet dresses, shades, bikinis, sandals and sun hats - viva la summer!

IN HER SHOES

Dear friends,
It is always an adventure, when I meet with my friend Sabine!
The other day, we spent the morning, exploring a gorgeous little canal, and surrounding lane ways, strewn with the most beautiful florals. We also had fun running into some of the natural wildlife that took a particular liking to us.
This very pretty dress, ankle boots and hat, seemed like the perfect adventure attire.
We snuck in some more fun, which I'll share with you later in the week, but in the meantime, you can check out more of Sabine's photography over at her blog - 'the tale of a young photographer'.

RODEO SHOW
Dear friends,
Yesterday I wrapped up a full day of filming for a very exciting project, which I hope to be able to share with you soon. Such a great day, touring Melbourne and working with an incredible creative team. Some behind the scenes shots are up on TWITTER and INSTAGRAM.
In between shots, I was able to grab a couple of photos of my latest dream dress via Aussie label, Rodeo Show. Currently obsessing over all things pastel, pink hues, lilac and mint are all topping my shopping list - shoes, dresses, trousers, anything and everything!

DIY dream
I was asked by one of my readers the other day if I like to DIY when it comes to fashion and the resounding answer was YES!
I absolutely love to customise my style as much as possible, from simply changing over buttons, to reconstructing an oversized vintage bargain.
This is one of my favourite DIY outfits. I absolutely fell in love with the print of this (what was oversized) vintage dress, so I brought in the seams and customised the hem-line.
Inspired by this fabulous Louboutin DIY, courtesy of the wonderful ...love Megan, I also had a field day DIY(ing) these Target stilettos and finally, the belt, a left-over piece of chiffon.
I'm wearing:
Dress: Vintage
Shoes: Target - DIY

Copacabana
Firstly I wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who shared their travel hot-spots with me in my last post – Dreaming of a European Summer, – you guys are the best! You’ve given me some great advice, and even more places to add to my steadily growing itinerary.
From time to time I get asked questions about fashion, design, my travels, so I thought a good way to answer these would be in a video blog – my first Vlog? Blideo?
If you have any questions you’d like answered let me know [EMAIL, FACEBOOK, TWEET, FORMSPRING.ME], and I’ll be sure to include your questions too!
I’m wearing:
Pants – Lark & Wolff, Urban Outfitters (Miami)
Shirt – Kookai (Australia)
Oxfords – Urban Outfitters (New York)
Fedora – Jay Jays (Australia)
There is something about the look of neutrals against crisp white that gets me every time. Throw in a fedora and all of a sudden sipping mojitos just makes sense - have a great week guys!

P.S. To thank my gorgeous readers for their ongoing support, I’m working on a great fashion giveaway which I will be able to share with you in the next couple of weeks. This one is a beauty, so be sure to stay tuned.

Happy shopper
I'm definitely starting to miss thrifting of late, but nonetheless, Vietnam has some brilliant shopping of its own. Sure there is plenty of your faux designer fashion, but if you know where to look you can pick up some gorgeous pieces at a fantastic price.
I picked up this pretty little number in a small, hidden boutique in the Old Quarter for around $15. I love the vintage feel of the print, and the cut is what you would expect from a piece 10 times the price.
This week I'm looking forward to catching up with a great friend of mine, who I've known since primary school. Although I'm having an amazing time travelling, its always nice to have friends and family visit - can't wait!
I'm wearing:
DIY necklace
Dress, Wanby (Vietnam)
Boots, Charlotte Russe
