Bec and Bridge Dress / Vintage Belt / Stylists Own Gold Cuffs / Asos Clutch A feminine maxi dress is the perfect staple for summer here in Australia. Easy to throw on if you're quickly leaving the house and even easier to wear in the evening with a few gold accessories. I couldn't help but channel some old Hollywood glamor when I spotted this Bec and Bridge maxi dress. Red nails with a matching bold red lip, side swept hair and a delicate clutch always seem to compliment this timeless staple all too well. This ivory maxi dress is made from a slinky fabric and feels somewhat like a second skin, which is super flattering and falls perfectly from the waist down. The mini pleats add a touch of elegance which helps compensate for any uncoordinated dancing you do later that night. This is just a sneak peek at my latest post for Harper's Bazaar so be sure to head over to Style Network to see the rest of the photos HERE.

Brian Lichtenberg Dress / Samantha Wills Bangle / Thrifted Heels / Asos clutch It's safe to say I haven't worn a one shoulder number since I was at a school disco in year 7. The craziest part is it was an off the shoulder top that was bright blue and covered in glitter, just like the dress you see here but on a whole new level of hideous and cringe-worthy. It was cropped with cut out holes down the side and.. well, I'm not even going to go into detail because I'd rather forget about it to be honest. Perhaps this is why it's taken me eleven years (no joke - It's been eleven years!) to venture into the world of one shouldered pieces again? I'm not entirely sure what drew me to this dress in the first place. Binding cocktail dresses aren't exactly my cup of tea and I think one shoulder pieces can just look weird most of the time. But I suppose maybe that's why I liked it? I love how satisfied you feel when you wear something people don't expect of you, or even something you don't expect of yourself. Plus it helps if it's a stunning piece by Brian Lichtenberg which has been doing the celeb rounds and was seen on Rosie Huntington Whitley in Transformers. Perfect for the Louis Vuitton party I went to last week. My fear of one shouldered glitter pieces has now been cured. Thanks Brian.
