All super cute dresses can be purchased online here along with hundreds of other wadrobe fillers! Princess Polly can also be found in boutiques around Australia. I am lucky enough to have a Boutique in my own backyard in Geelong. Its shelves are filled with pretty dresses, shirts, shorts and skirts in all my favourite colours (pink and mustard!). They even stock House of Harlow jewels! All the girls who work there are super nice and add to the overall lovliness of the store. I will be paying another visit to purchase some sunglasses and shorts for my upcoming overseas visit to Vietnam and Cambodia next week!

Taking it to the Max

I wasn't sure whether I was fond of the maxi skirt when it made it's way back into the wardrobe favourites for winter. However I was given a pattern with a pretty lady dressed in a gorgeous winter felt hat floral blouse and navy blue maxi skirt and she persuaded me with her whimsical ways to give it a try.

I visited my favourite fabric store in Geelong, Joys Warehouse, to find some fabric to take my skirt from Autumn into Winter and I wasn't disappointed. I found this plum lightweight fabric and knew it would be perfect.

I am in love with my maxi skirt and plan to take it out next weekend matched with either a black 3/4 sleeve top for night or a cute knit for daytime! All I need now is a beautiful winter hat...If anyone has some tips on where to find one let me know!

Pretty Little Petal

This week marks the start of winter...I enjoy rugging up each morning in scarves and gloves and sipping cups of tea to keep warm but I miss spring time filled with beautiful colours, long days and warm weather.

I'm a little obsessed with flowers, I always have a fresh bunch spreading their scent throughout the house and have several dresses and skirts made with floral fabric. Some are bold and bright, while others are soft and delicate.

Some pretty spring time petals.......
