52. How to keep a silk top from moving

I wore two of my favourite things yesterday, a girly skirt and OPI red nails... perfect for 34-degree Melbourne days. I had to take the jacket off, it was far too hot!

My top is oversized, silk and a little bulky, so I don't wear it very often. To avoid silk tops annoying you and falling out I read somewhere you should tuck your top into your knickers :) Good idea really... I must admit I forgot to do it today. My fiancé thinks I'm the biggest geek when I do that!

Note: this is not a good idea if you're wearing a white skirt that's semi-see-through.

34. Alice & Olivia

After the storm the sun comes back, hooray! I obsessively wore these boots during winter and as I'm not yet ready to give them up I'm pairing them with as many girly dresses as possible. I think the rich maroon colour of this dress is beautiful and suits my fair skin tone to a T!

29. Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

Friday loves... shoes! I am dreaming about shoes today. Perhaps because I'm heading to the US soon and our dollar is much happier to buy shoes there.

6. Jimmy Choo Balance Patent-leather Mesh Pumps

I know I said I was wearing more colour this week, and I am! It's just yesterday was colder and I had to wear pants. The only pants I own are black, plus jeans of course, but they don't count today.

Because I'm from Melbourne, I wear too much black. But I'm working my up to wearing more colour. I don't think my outfit today really counts, but it's certainly getting easier as the weather gets better. I love colour-blocking, so this past weekend I had a mix and match session to come up with a number of outfits with at least two colours in each combination. Results coming soon...

Did I mention I liked spots?

These Pedro Garcia sandals are the most comfortable heels I own. The straps are suede and the rest are what I describe as 'compressed cork' and rubber. I wore these to a conference in March where I fluttered around for 8 hours... Albeit my legs were tired from standing up for so long (perhaps I should have been smarter and worn flats), my feet were good!

I must confess I miss looking down at girly red nails... In June I ungracefully slammed my foot in a door which ripped my big toenail off (sounds lovely I know), hence no polish for the tootsies. Another month and I'll *hopefully* be back to shiny red, just in time for summer!
