NEW ARRIVALS + FEATURE

Some of the cute stuff that has just arrived in store! I especially love lilac lace tulle dress-could see myself wearing that with thin strappy heels & chunky crystal earrings. Perfect if one was on a romantical date night? *sigh*

Anyway, here's a little feature I did for the Eclektic Photography newsletter this month on dressing for Summer & some general styling tips-Enjoy!

- How can ladies wear summery outfits without looking like they're not wearing much? 

My favourite way to adapt to Summer is by wearing leggings! You can find them in almost any length, colour & thin enough to 'breathe' through the hot weather. Add your favourite long tops or short Summer dresses to the mix with a statement piece of jewellery & you've go your look! Another favourite if you're in a hurry is a patterned maxi dress & a cute pair of sandals. 

 - What are some upcoming trends? 

A lot of trends that I'm seeing coming through are anything with a peplum shape, sequin details, metallic colours & lots & lots of texture!

- How to get your desired look within a budget?

Look for clothing pieces that are easily interchangeable with the rest of your wardrobe.  A great way to get a great on trend look is by adding different accessories to what you already wear; for example adding a chunky collar necklace to your favourite t-shirt & jeans combo. Buying a new accessory is much easier on the wallet than buying a whole new outfit.

GREEN WITH ENVY

So happy that the sun has finally come out to play! I've been wanting to do a post on this dress for a while but with all the rain & storms we've recently endured, it didn't  feel right. I love how this dress graciously billows in the wind & is so light to wear... So light in fact, that you need to wear a slip underneath! But with that aside, I've realised that I've added a few dark accessories, including dark plum lips. The trench has been my go-to jacket all Winter & I love throwing it over my shoulders as a cape. Thinking of wearing this ensemble to an up & coming wedding-what do you think?

GET ON THE FLOOR

Just a little snippet of the work we did shooting last Saturday in Hyde Park for a look-book featuring Ally clothing. I find it so funny that every photo Chantelle releases, I'm awkwardly lying on the floor...

TAHITIAN PRINCESS

 {Wearing: Vintage wedding dress, Vintage satchel bag, Thrifted Anne Klein for Oroton belt & Gloss flower headpiece}

Just before Winter hit us hard, I was able to frolic around the beach at sunset in this goregous vintage wedding dress I found. It is quite big on me but I couldn't resist wearing it!

Now I don't think I'll be getting married anytime soon but it is coincidence that my parents shared a 25th wedding anniversary on the flight back to Sydney. My mum jokes that she's had her life sentence & I laugh, but honestly I'm so proud of both of them for keeping the love alive. If they decided to get re-married I would love my mum to wear this dress. Hopefully she won't look like such a hippy flower child bride like I did; infact Chelle said I looked like a Tahitian princess, so I'm going to run with that...

InstaLife: April.

Two photos of things that have made me happy this April: Rose gold & raw stone jewellery & gorgeous Autumn sunsets.

Every month I'll try & update you on the more detailed things that happen in my life; that I regularly post on Instagram. In the mean time, you can always follow me @theshara.

TRENDING: LadyLike.

I'm absolutely loving this ladylike trend consisting of pearls, kitten heels & satchel bags. Everything is so luxurious & detailed; I always like to think about the smaller details in an outfit, although I may not always have the time to get myself together to do it. These are my picks & stylings of the trend; very Mad Men & Stepford Wives.

Moving On...

Just a little update to let you know that within the next few weeks you will be seeing some changes, regular blogging & different projects coming up. I've spent a bit of time sourcing vintage & new pieces for my store & have had one of my great friends who also designs, taking photos with me. I really want to share more of what inspires me, what events happen in my life & what I'm wearing in those moments. I strive to be the blog you come & read/have a good stare at when it's a dreary wet day (just like we're having in Sydney at the moment) or just any day to sit with a lovely cup of tea...

We're moving on & up just like this plane.
