Statement heels for spring/summer

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you some shoe inspiration to come down the LFW SS14 runway.

 I always appreciate not only the creative designs of footwear today but the craftsmanship that goes into them. 

I've selected some statement heels available from local retailers (Highpoint Shopping Centre) for you below. Add some jazz to your feet this summer.

Dressing up in Viareggio

Hi everyone! I couldn't wait to share this gorgeous white dress from Cue. It's not a silhouette I often wear, but I have to say I enjoyed the free flowing form and am looking forward to wearing similar shapes in the future. 

As Spring Racing Carnival is approaching I thought this would give you some outfit ideas, particularly for Derby Day, being traditionally black and white. 

I have styled my new Fabi sandals that I bought in Tuscany with this look; if you follow my Instagram or Facebook page you will recognise them.

I shot this look at The Grand Hotel Royal  in Viareggio the hotel we stayed at during our Tuscan adventure. See the hotel at sunset at the bottom of this post.

I miss it already.

Drifting through Tuscany

Hi everyone! We moved from a quaint small town to the Tuscan shoreline which was absolutely stunning. The shoreline was filled with designer boutiques and restaurants. The strip was constantly walked by local families either all linked in arms or in heated discussions.

Our first day was magical! After paying 20 Euro for the use of an umbrella, set of chairs, 2 beach towels and some still water we sat on the beach for 5 hours soaking up the sun and authentic Italian atmosphere. Unfortunately since sunny day 1, we had experienced a huge thunderstorm and it didn't stop raining for two days. Luckily we photographed this Forever New 'Brynn Mirror Print Dress' while the sun was still shining. I love the print on this dress and think it could be a great option for Spring Racing Carnival. Check out the details of this look below- all products are available from Highpoint Shopping Centre.

Posing in Pisa

Hello lovelies! Well, Dusty and I have braved the roads and have been driving through Italy.  I have been overwhelmed by the breathtaking scenery and pleasantly surprised by the warm autumn weather. We stopped off to visit one of the seven wonders of the middle ages, the Leaning Tower of Pisa. There it stood, tall and proud and extremely photogenic might I add. We had to compete amongst the many tourists for that perfect shot of you looking as though you are holding the tower up. 

I wanted to share my look below. I'm wearing a Rodeo Show 'Mulberry Tank',  Forever New 'Liz Lace Shorts' with wedged sandals from Sportsgirl. To get this look (similar accessories) visit the bottom of this post. All products are available at Highpoint Shopping Centre.

Under the Tuscan Sun

Hi everyone! I have arrived in Italy after a fun but hectic week covering London Fashion Week. I have to admit the minute we arrived at Rome (my first time in Italy) I started to tear up. I felt this rush of emotions and connection with my heritage. My mother and father were both born in Italy and having grown up with Italian speaking grandparents and the traditional values and cultures instilled in me, it was a really special moment.

After 5 days sightseeing in Rome we moved on to Tuscany. Dusty found this incredible Tuscan Villa which was first built in 1100AD. It has been owned by only 6 families within that time. It is like living in a different era. You enter via a 40 metre entrance foyer with hand painted walls dating back to the 18th Century. There are historical family photos spread amongst the different rooms including a library and music room. And to top it off you can sit on the grande balcony that overlooks the garden which is filled with fruit trees; their frangrance makes you salivate. It's just magical.

I was waiting to post my look below in the perfect setting and Tuscany was just it. Unfortunately it was too cold to style during LFW. I love this look from Alannah Hill and accessories from Olga Berg and Jo Mercer. I think it would make a perfect Spring Racing Carnival Look too. 

I've included details on my look as well as images showcasing this gorgeous historical villa below.

Well, London Fashion Week has come to an end and I'm absolutely exhausted. It has been a fun but very tiring week. I really hope you enjoyed the coverage. I still have a lot more to post from the week so stay tuned.

I wanted to share my final look from LFW. I am wearing this amazing Cue dress which is perfectly named Python Origami Dress. The fabric is so rich in texture and is constructed to appear like a folded piece of paper. I accessorised with an Olga Berg clutch and Jo Mercer nude heels. 

Thank you to Olga Berg and Cue for generously dressing me fro LFW.
