staple + stylestalker.

By









Stylestalker teen spirit dress (from Dakota 501) / Staple the Label knit jumper (get it @ The Iconic)/
Alannah Hill thigh-high socks / Tony Bianco (old) suede wedges
Beginning Boutique ring / Chanel peridot nail polish

Finally easing into Winter - it's a bit of a love/hate relationship for me.
On the one hand I hate the wind and the rain and the cold - I've always been
a music festival/beach/ice-cream/carefree picnic-ing sun-lover..but on the
other hand snuggling up in bed with a cup of tea and a book is my ultimate
luxury, & I'm in love with Winter fashion and layering and scarves and boots!!

This outfit is one of my faves - it's comfy as hell AND acceptable to wear out ;)
Got the black stylestalker dress from dakota 501 on Chapel St, I live basically
a 5 minute walk from that store and they stock the most incredible pieces...
which is awesome but also really, really bad :/

Oooh & & & I bought my first Chanel nail polish - it's peridot which is a gold
with a greenish tinge, it's really hard t describe! Great quality of course,
but actually I find the gold to be a little tacky. I'd prefer a matte gold.

Eep, well anyway I am pretty much almost officially on holidays, just a piano exam
to go on Tues (the 19th) and then FREEDOMMMMM. I'm going to Queensland booyeah.

I love your outfit, especially the Staple jumper. Dying over the nail polish... have you tried the Rimmel matte topcoat over it to make it matte?

Cuteeest outfit Stace! Love the cut outs on the shoulders, actually I wore a similar dress but it was bodycon, for Aa ball afterparty last year haha, I sold it on ebay after but this makes me nostalgic :')
Loveeee the polish, never owned a Chanel polish just cos I can't justify the price...
So jealous you're going to QLD!!!!! I much prefer warmer weather to winter.
Also good luck for your piano exam! I finish 19th too yayy :)

Such an awesome outfit! I'm so scared of the cold I actually wear about 4-5 + a coat. The problem with winter layers is it can get a bit bulky, but I totally agree, love summer weather, love winter fashion :)

Living near shops can always be really dangerous - I find you have to practise some real good self-restraint! You look super cute by the way - loving the layering

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...
