Lately I've been feeling a little uninspired. I think it's the curse of being in between seasons and waiting for the Australian weather to make up its mind on whether or not it wants to act like spring. I mean, sun baking at the beach one day and rugged up in leopard print mink coats the next (currently what I'm doing right now - weird). But when these pretty little numbers arrived in my mailbox yesterday I couldn't even wait for the sun to come out to wear them. They're the perfect set of blush tones I've been patiently waiting for after countless seasons, and seem to work well when worn apart but even better when worn together. The top and shorts are both by Secret Squirrel and have a beautiful shimmer to the fabric, adding to the whole minimalistic and chic look I've been obsessing over lately. Secret Squirrel are also having a 30-50% off sale next Wednesday at Pigeon Ground in Camperdown so if you're around come say hello! To be honest it's killing me not being able to post this whole outfit so be sure to head over to Harper's Bazaar to see the rest of the photos.

A few shots from my time spent in the LA sun. Highlights definitely include vintage shopping along Melrose and West Hollywood Boulevard, sun baking on water beds on a rooftop pool with a mojito in hand, finding my dream pink wigs (I may have bought two), meeting Rachel Bilson and also the beautiful Olivia from Lust for Life, Liz from Late Afternoon and Rachel from That's Chic. I can't forget the one afternoon we bought probably the only healthy dinner I had on my entire US trip from Whole Foods and walked up this hillside to watch a golden sunset over the Hollywood sign. Still deciding If I loved Wholefoods or Disneyland more. We also met up with Jules and Aimee again who I had already missed after our time in New York. A special thank you to Aimee and her boyfriend Wes for taking Luke and I along to the premiere of Rachel Bilson's new show Hart Of Dixie. I was a little overwhelmed to find out what they meant by premiere was really 12 bloggers, a few staff and Rachel Bilson standing around mingling on the set of her new show. It was amazing to see Universal Studios organize this event specifically for bloggers and I managed to keep calm for the majority of the time. If you're visiting LA be sure to visit American Vintage and Wasteland for some of the cheapest and craziest vintage I've ever seen. At one point I even found myself dressed up as a giant ketchup bottle and was seriously scheming ways to try and bring it home with me. Only in LA...

Here's a sneak peek at my latest blog post for Harper's Bazaar Unfortunately I can't post the whole outfit so every week I'll be choosing my favourite shot to share with you all here. I've been in awe of the beautiful and intricate details of this gold lace cuff by Alkemie ever since it arrived the other week. I spotted it on Free People and as soon as I saw how cheap the shipping was ($7.95 US!) I thought why not? I'm so happy Free People has finally decided to ship to Australia. It's been torture seeing bloggers overseas wearing cute Free People pieces and not having access to them in store or online. And considering how quickly the shipping was, the beautiful packaging and cute little notes inside I'm one happy customer. Just another store to add to my online shopping addiction. Sigh.

I'm a firm believer in you don't have to spend a lot of money to look nice, which is one of the many beneficial factors of buying vintage. But when I spotted this fluorescent citrus green two piece by Karla Spetic hanging beautifully in Desordre the other week I knew right there and then that they were going to be worth every penny. Karla Spetic has always had such beautifully tailored and structured minimalist pieces that always leave me assessing how unchic my wardrobe is most of the time. These silk pants have an amazing fit and their tapered legs create a relaxed yet refined look. I had to get the matching top that provides a fresh breath of inspiration for any pants and maxi skirts in my wardrobe right now and don't worry, I borrowed this jacket from a friend so I didn't go too crazy. Loving this green and citrus colour combination for summer here in Australia which is on the verge of being a blinding neon. Amazing. You just can't beat how beautiful Karla Spectic makes you feel. You can purchase these pieces at Desrodre boutique here.

A sneak peek at a few new details that have recently found their way into my wardrobe. Absolutely loving this vibrant emerald green colour at the moment. So much so that I just couldn't resist these delicate multi-buckled 3.1 Phillip Lim Heels that perfectly match these vintage tailored pants I found in a little vintage store in San Francisco. They have a sateen-like finish which adds a beautiful sheen and elegance to any outfit I style with them. Add a vintage necklace and these amazing gold cuffs I received from Stylists Own last week and you're looking at a few of my favourite things right now.

For someone who's only been to an amusement park a few times in her life I was having an out of body experience when we walked through the Disneyland gates. I felt like I was just jumping out of my skin with excitement and it seemed every other person there was feeling the exact same way. Everywhere we looked there was vibrant colours, constant smiles and too cute for words Disney characters, souvenirs and buildings. The sound of laughter from both adults and children filled the air and I just couldn't wipe the smile off my face the entire day. This left little time to think about what to wear so I wore a simple striped top, black ankle boots and probably the tiniest pair of shorts I own in an attempt to beat the intense LA heat. A simple and fail safe outfit. I've been a little obsessed with these new boots by Rachel Comey which are absurdly comfortable to spend the day sightseeing in. They have the perfect amount of heel that adds height to your casual day to day outfits, without looking out of place for wearing platforms instead. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wishes I was taller... A special thank you to Ty from Solestruck.com who sent these to my NY apartment on my second day. You know me too well and I absolutely love them. Apologies for the slide show of holiday photos too. This is kind of an outfit post so hopefully you guys still find it interesting! This was my first time visiting Disneyland and it definitely won't be the last. Disneyland really is the happiest place on earth and a world I would happily live in. Now all I have to do is figure out a way to get these life size tea cups home...
