..:: little white dress ::..

By







Summer is here; days are growing long while nights grow tantalisingly shorter. I'm thinking lazy cocktails on balconies and late night beach rendezvous need some appropriate attire. Presenting...*drumroll*...the LWD aka Little White Dress. Yes! White isperhaps a little trickier to pull off than the black that is our usual go to. Yet when done right, it's classy, confident and will effortlessly take you from the beach to the bar!!

Here are my recent white dress purchases:



L to R: MINKPINK (eBay) criss-cross dress, thrifted floral netted dress, Wish (eBay) crochet dress.

Can't wait to get some good wear into these babies in the warmer days ahead!! I wore the one in the middle to the Suzuki Night Market with Em and Miriam last Wednesday, might put up some pics for the next post :)

---

Oh and has everyone (in Australia I guess) voted for their fave songs in the Triple J hottest 100?? If not, get on it HERE.
I myself have voted, here is my various selections:

Lonely Boy - The Black Keys
Under Cover of Darkness - The Strokes
Velociraptor! - Kasabian
L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N - Noah and the Whale
Video Games - Lana Del Ray
Two Way Street - Kimbra
Dead-Beat - King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
Mermaids - Jinja Safari
Library Pictures- Arctic Monkeys
Part Time Believer - Boy & Bear

---

All this music is making me want to go to a music festival. Really wanted to go to Pyramid over New Year's but instead I'll be in Hepburn Springs with the fam, which I hope will be good! I don't get to spend a lot of time with them these days, this is a rare opportunity where all of us have time off work :)

What's everyone else doing for NYE? Anyone going to any music festivals so I can stalk your photos and such?

I love the first pic. So structured but then has the cute flippy skirt. Ohhh crap, I have no idea who to vote for! I'm going to have to do some in depth research (listening to LOTS of Triple J!). Also, I now have the LIFEGOESON song in my head xx

This post is heavenly! I need to get me some tan before I attempt the white dress look or I'll look like a ghost! I think I'm having a bbq and drink and then probably going out for New Years. Keeping it pretty chill :) I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and have an amazing New Year! x

I love LWDs! Unfortunately I have yet to find the perfect one for me. Most that I like are wayyy too expensive for me!

Yup, the bracelet's from the glue store by the way:)

Hope you had a good christmas and hopefully a good new year!

The temperature for us here in San Diego dropped nearly to the upper fifties today. I mean it didn't actually make it out of the low sixties but it came close. Must be tough for people in other parts of the Northern Hemisphere where it actually gets cold at this time of year.

Anyway, as a guy I can certify that the LWD is a good look for a young woman.

Good post

I love white dresses. I have so much of them, it's insane. I love to wear them in Summer when i've already tanned up a bit. Or in winter with thick grey tights:)

GIVEAWAY: The Dark Horse

By

I love designer jewellery . I also love contests and giveaways. Now that tee+fame blog has reached 400 friends on GFC I think it's time to combine the two and give a little something back to my loyal followers! THE DARK HORSE is an online jewellery boutique focusing on selling jewellery from around the globe. The boutique is influenced by the beauty surrounding us, aiming to make unique, niche and international designer pieces attainable. The awesome thing about this store is that it is offering a take home lay-by system , which means you can pay off an item while you wear it! I'm personally crazily obsessed with being able to lay-by stuff, I think it's an awesome invention! The jewellery we wear tells a story of who we are, where we have been or who we want to be. THE DARK HORSE will defs have the right piece of jewellery for you to express who you are :) There are some amazing pieces from some of my favourite jewellery brands, including Low Luv by Erin Was...

Today is my 18th birthday! I've been waiting for this day for SO long; the day I become and adult, and can drive, vote, drink...now I'm 18 and it's time to partay :D Met Emma for breakfast in Yarraville (if you remember, Yarraville is our favourite place to have a feed) at 9:30, so nice and early pretty much. Almost slept in, hence turning up virtually make-up-less (bit of eyeliner), and Emma practically did the same, woo classy :D Had the most amazing meals, at a place called Java Cafe. Egg, spinach, toast, hashbrown; pancakes with maple syrup and strawberries. Heaven heaven heaven!! Military jacket detailsss :) Ohhhh and these photos are taken on...dun dun dun...a new camera that I recieved from my parents! I wasn't expecting anything, so to wake up with a brand new camera was just amazing :) Thanks mummy & daddy! I am wearing: $2 op-shop find black jacket, $12 Deborah K grey military jacket, Giordano tie-dye leggings, Mum's boots, Diva necklace. I have b...

Summer Fashion ft. 2threads and Billabong!

By

Soo 2threads , teamed up with he uber popular Aussie surf brand Billabong, have again come up with another awesome blog initiative, to share what Summer fashion means to me! Inspired by the great weather we've had in recent days in Melbourne, I've compiled a little post here for you guys. To me, Summer fashion is effortless, and only has two rules you must stick to: be both stylish and comfortable. The only "must-have" is a great swimming costume and the confidence to pull it off once you hit the sand! Here are some great picks for the Summer: Billabong Bliss Billabong Liv Billabong Amaze Billabong Poser Billabong Amore Then slip on something that doesn't require buttons, belts, shoelaces or other annoyances that might hinder the strip you must undergo at the beach - a simple sundress, a crop top and skirt, an oversized singlet, or the beach classic - a pair of ripped denim cut-offs and a cute tee. Outfit done and dusted, now to hit the waves! Beach essentials: 1...
