Australia Day 2014 Style Guide

Australia Day 2014 Style Guide 

Maxi dress / Rag Bone halter top / J Brand shorts / Blu moon romper / Valentino flat shoes / Stuart Weitzman flat shoes / Jennifer Fisher bracelet / Pamela Love bracelet / Jennifer Fisher bracelet / Topshop ring / Hermès silk scarve / Retro sunglasses / Maison Michel black hat / Tom Ford sunglasses / Miu Miu retro sunglasses / Pedro Garcia

So, This weekend is going to be my first Australia Day! I have been trying to find the perfect outfit for my long day and night of BBQs and parties! As I was searching high and low for my ideal outfit,  I thought I would share some of my suggestions with all of you and give you some idea (that is my followers down under). 

I think that the options I have chosen have a little something for everyone. Since its Australia Day and the majority of parties are going to be outside and/or BBQs outside, I have this overwhelming urge to dress super bohemian. Some of the pieces I have chosen are a crop top and high-waisted short duo, a super cute leopard romper, and an amazing white and silver maxi. For the crop top and shorts outfit, I imagined the scarf being tied up on my head kind of like this . 

 I LOVE each outfit and it will be intersting to see what route I actually end up going on Sunday or if I go in a completely opposite direction. Ill have to wait and see until Sunday. 

I hope you all have fun picking out your outfits and have an amazing Australia Day long weekend!

After going to the Gold Coast twice this weekend and laying on the amazing beaches of Queensland's coast, I couldnt help but just feel a summertime vibe today. These pieces just seem like they would add a perfect light, and airy feel to any summer day. I am looking forward to being beachside until the very last days of summer this year.

Kenzo metallic top / Zara scarve /  R.M. Williams boots / Rag & Bone Shawl Cardigan / Boconi 'Leon Slim Mailbag' Messenger Bag Black/ Green Plaid One Size / Tom Ford edp perfume / Viktor Rolf viktor rolf perfume / Apothia  / Tony Bianco Arcadia Black

Its the holiday season again and I wanted to give everyone a few ideas to make your shopping this year a piece of cake! 

For Her 

1. Apothia IF Candle: My Bestfriend showed me these candles. They are amazing and last FOREVER! its a great holiday gift for any girl who loves candles. 

2. Viktor and Rolf FlowerBomb Perfume: Let me tell you, this scent is amazing. Any girl would love this perfume and it would be a perfect stocking stuffer! 

3. Zara Plaid Scarf: Plaid is everywhere right now and this adorable scarf from Zara is a perfect present for any trendsetter. 

4. MNOLOGIE Perspex Clear Clutch: This is probably one of my favorite selections. These clutches are hand made and have a metal clasp that can be engraved for anyone who is receiving it. They also come with little pouches that have these adorable logos like, "Celine Me Alone" and "Aint Laurent Without Yves".  If this seems like a perfect gift for someone you know, you have to order them quick because it takes a month to be made and they are located in Bali. 

5. Tony Bianco Arcadia Shoe: I love peep-toe boots and this pair is an affordable and adorable option. I know that if these were waiting for me under the tree, I would be one happy girl! 

6. Kenzo Sweatshirt: Graphic Sweatshirts are trending hard right now and this one is an amazing option: Its a bit pricey but, Boys, if you are looking for a great piece to give your girlfriend and willing to fork out a little cash, she will love you forever. There are of course more affordable options to this sweatshirt like this option (here) and this option (here). 

For Him 

1. Buscemi Sneakers: These sneakers are so amazing and they are super pricey. BUT the quality and design are so worth it! 

2. R.M. Williams boots: Since living in Australia, I have learned that these boots are a staple for all men of all ages. Dressed up or down these are a versatile item for any man wanting to look stylish. Although they may have a bigger price tag then some people may plan to spend, you will definitely be getting your money's worth. My boyfriend has a pair and he has had them for 10 YEARS! These boots are a great gift idea for your Dad, Brother, or Boyfriend. 
3. LuLuLemon V-necks: Jazz up any man in your life's  plain T's by giving them the T-shirts and V-necks at LuLuLemon! These T-shirts are incredibly comfortable and can be worn on any occation. They come in a variety of colors and styles. I get my boyfriend these all the time and he lives in them. 
4. Tom Ford Noir De Noir Cologne: Tom Ford Cologne. Enough Said. 
5. Rag & Bone Cardigan: These cardigans are adorable and I love the detailing of the elbow pads. This is a perfect staple piece for any guy's closet. 
6. Boconi Messenger Bag: This is a great gift for any guy but especially one who is new to the work force or needing some extra style to his everyday buisness attire. This option is on the more affordable side but there are plenty of other options that come with a heavier price tag if you really want to spoil the man in your life. 

Wishlist: Anine Bing Leather Biker Jacket

Anine Bing is becoming a staple name when it comes to leather products in the fashion world.  I have been eyeing this jacket for a couple months and I have completely fallen in love.  Her shoes, leather pants, and jewelry are also amazing  pieces that would work wonders in any closet.  This jacket is quite pricey, but can you really put a price on style?

Any excuse is a good enough excuse for me. 

Shop this jacket and all of Anine Bings items, here.

Wish list: Valentino Ruffle Biker Boots

I've been searching high and low for a good pair of biker/combat boots and when I saw these puppies I almost fainted. The word Valentino always gets my attention and these boots are absolutely PERFECT. Even though they are sold out everywhere, a girl can dream right? The masculinity of the biker style boot paired with the feminine ruffles makes this boot interesting and super stylish. Pair these with sun dresses, high waisted shorts, skinnies, or basically anything you can think of for an instant edgy look.

That'll do Valentino, that'll do.

Wishlist: Jenni Kayne D'Orsay Flat

I have been seeing Jenni Kayne's name (that rhymes) and the D'Orsay flats everywhere recently.  Even better, Ms. Kayne came out with a series of new colors and these babies are one of them. I am obsessed and want them like, yesterday.  They are THE flats of 2013. 

For all you AZ girls head on over to Stephanie's on Indian School Rd in Scottsdale.  My absolute best friend Hayle Stern works there and she told me they are fully stocked with Jenni Kayne and many other completely AMAZING designers.  Stephanie definitely knows whats up and with her experience as a interior designer on top of her abundant knowledge of fashion, her store is adorable.  Even if you don't live in AZ you can contact Stephanie's and they will gladly sell/send you a pair of the D'Orsay flat or anything else your little hearts desire. 

Shop Stephanie's

For the rest of you, you can just buy them directly off Jenni Kayne's website

Wishlist: Elizabeth and James Cindy Speed Lace Boots

Shopbop: Cindy Speed Lace Boots

Opened toed lace up boots are trending hard right now.  I have been searching for the perfect pair and a couple weeks back I found them.  I find myself constantly scanning Shopbop to look at them, dreaming of the day I can pair them with distressed boyfriend jeans and a simple white tee.  Unfortunately I haven't saved up enough money and now there is only one pair left!!! Luckily they are in my size. On the bright side, Valentines Day is around the corner!! (HINT HINT BF)
