quote of the day
"A woman's dress should be like a barbedwire fence; serving it's purpose without obstructing the view."
- Sophia Loren
ruffle me up
While I say "loving right now" if we are going to get to the truth of the matter, I've been enamoured with all things ruffly for many years. There's just something so flirty and feminine about a ruffle detail, it can turn a simple form fitting dress into something that wows just with that extra flowing fabric. Ruffles are also great because you can incorporate just a touch of femininity into your outfit through a ruffled accessory, if you feel a ruffled skirt or dress is too much for your liking.
My ruffle advice? Avoid going crazy with ruffles all over, and instead stick to one statement piece, this will help maintain your shape and silhouette.

focus on - friends of couture
I've had a love affair with the gorgeous brand and stores that is Friends Of Couture for many years now. I had been naive to it's endless pleasures until I changed jobs and discovered my first tastes of gorgeous vintage inspired street wear only two doors down from my office at the time. I found myself creating excuses to pop in over my lunch breaks or quickly after work to schmooze the sales racks and drool over the 50's dresses and divinely soft embroidered cardigans. My post below is just a slice of what the legends at Friends Of Couture offer every season. I make sure to get into one of their stores (only in Melbourne for now) at least once a season to drink up their huge in store collections which go well beyond what their website offers, especially when it comes to accessories.
This is what the team at Friends Of Couture have to say for themselves... “We take a lot of inspiration from classic and vintage pieces, feminine flirty features and strong femme fatale silhouettes intermix with bold colours and beautiful fabrics to create a strong signature style”.
So what are you waiting for? Head over to the Friends Of Couture website and just try not to fall in love, I dare you!
