Life’s Little Luxuries
Sleep ins, devouring books…(and chocolate), new summer scents and beautiful blooms. I love holiday’s and all the little luxuries they bring.
I hope you all had an amazing christmas and are enjoying the summer break.

Style Icon – Eleonora Carisi
Eleonora Carisi is one of my favourite fashion ladies to go to for outfit inspiration. The stunning Italian has some serious style! Her outfits are always interesting and flawlessly put together. Check out her awesome blog Joujou Villeroy for more fashion inspiration!

Summer Sandals
Although the last couple of days in Melbourne would have us think otherwise, summer is definitely on its way and that means I have to start saying goodbye to my trusty boots and invest in some summer sandals.

The Estelle Store Event
Last week I was invited by the lovely Elise from The Bag Department to attend the The Estelle Store Christmas party. Owner Estelle has recently made the move from Collingwood to Ivanhoe and I cannot tell you how happy I am to have such a beautiful store nearby.
It is a treasure trove of pieces by some of my favourite labels like Cameo, Finders Keepers and The Bag Department to name a few, and stocks an incredible array of jewellery, skin care, candles and other accessories.
I will be heading straight back to try on some of Estelle’s pieces from her own label Micky in The Van. I particularly have my eye on the mustard dress pictured above.
I strongly suggest the trip to Ivanhoe to check out this seriously stylish and inspiring store.
