DIY DENIM SHORTS

Readers would know that denim shorts fill a large part of my wardrobe, so when my friends over at MINKPINK asked me to DIY a pair of their iconic slasher shorts, I of course jumped at the chance.

Since I'm on my way to sunny California, neon and lace detailing captured my imagination when adding my own personal touches to these killer shorts.

And now it's your turn to get creative.

MINKPINK are inviting you to customise a pair of their slasher shorts - however you like - for your chance to win a new season wardrobe valued at $1000!

For all the entry details and DIY-spiration, check out the 'Suped up Slashers' facebook page here.

GENERAL PANTS

I'm most definitely not one to shy away from a good print, so I've been hard pressed to not reach straight for these new knitted treats.

Totally coincidentally, my favourite denim addition, features equally as perfect (and matching) aztec print detail.

Knitted trousers - the perfect option for the long-haul flight to LA I can't help but dread.

In the midst of packing for my US/South American summer, I couldn't help but take a moment to snap my latest neon crushes(s).

Lots of excitement fast approaching.

This time next week, I'll be kicking back, relaxing (or possibly recovering) from what is set to be an indulgent weekend of bridal festivities.

Dress and shoes sorted, now all that's missing is the company.

Can't wait for my friends from all corners to fly into Melbourne and help me celebrate.

SPORT CHIC

      Shona Joy dress, high top wedges via Boohoo, MAC St Germaine lip colour, Cooee perspex cuff

I'm definitely a high heels kind of gal, so you could consider me a late-comer to the fashion sneaker party, Isabel Marant kicked off.

As soon as I set my eyes on this incredible Shona Joy dress, It called me to experiment with my twist on the gorgeous sports luxe editorials I've seen in every magazine and on every blog of late.

These high top wedge sneakers add the perfect touch of street cred to complete my sporty look, whilst fulfilling my need for a shoe with some height.

My first pair of fashion sneakers, but certainly not my last.

I've been converted.
