Weekend Wear {denim}

Chambray shirt // Jeans // Ballet flats // Bag // Glasses // Chanel nail colour, Pirate // Christian Dior lip colour, Nude rouge

I am loving this super chic and simple denim ensemble for the weekend. These nude ballet flats are a wardrobe staple given how incredibly versatile they are, and I do love how the red nails add the perfect touch of glam!

Enjoy your weekend!

Happy weekend loves! This week has been incredibly long so I am very much looking forward to two days of bliss and playing catch up. The Life In Style trade show is on in Sydney this weekend so I will be heading down there tomorrow to check it out. I've been seeing loads of pics pop up on instagram so I'm keen to see all of the exhibits first hand! 

Will anyone else be there over the weekend? Would love to say hi if you are!

Here are a few favourites from this week....

I'm back ... + some scenes from the weekend

Hello lovelies, I'm so happy to be back!! My travels flew past so quickly but I'm more than excited to get back to life, and of course this little blog!

I hope you enjoyed the company of the amazing guest bloggers who posted while I was away. A heart-filled thank you goes out to Natalia, Erika, Claudia, Lana, Alexa, Ada, Rachel, Dawn, Caterina, Gaby, Sam, Mollie, Serena, Natalie, Annie + Ashely; who, I think you would agree, put together a fabulous selection of posts!

To say my trip was incredible would be an understatement - I had an extraordinarily colourful experience, met some very special people and of course shopped up a storm! I have loads of photos to share, but I will spread them out over several posts so you don't get bored of them too quickly!

Before I do, I wanted to share a few pics from my brother's wedding on the weekend that was held down in the Adelaide Hills in an incredibly stunning 'garden' setting.

{My sister, Jess and I before the wedding}

The whole extended family flew down and we stayed at a charming B&B that was part of a winery. We had perfect spring weather, with warm sunny days and a cool breeze at night which was heavenly.

The wedding was held at my sister-in-law's family estate,  a winery nestled in the Adelaide Hills, with absolutely breathtaking views.

One of my favourite touches of the day was this outdoor wash-basin for guests to use.

And my gorgeous nieces made two adorable flower girls on the day.

I hope you had a great weekend!

What I'm packing {part one}

Hi lovelies! With just 3 weeks to go now before I leave on my trip (!) I thought I'd give you a bit of a peek into what I will be packing. I've split this up into two posts because I'm essentially going on two different trips in the month that I will be away. 

For the first 15 days I will be travelling to Spain, Portugal + Morocco: starting in Madrid and making my way across to Portugal and then down the coast of Portugal and into Morocco. From what I can gather, it will still be quite warm in all of these countries, yet in Morocco I need to make sure I have appropriate clothing to respect the cultural differences.

1. Supergra sneakers //  2. Repetto ballet flats // 3. J.Crew Western Denim shirt // 4. J.Crew boat neck t // 5. Scarfs: 1, 2 + 3 // 6. J.Crew tank //7. Victoria Beckham super skinny jeans // 8. Bassike jersey slouch pants.

I will be taking a lot of basics that I plan on mixing up with scarves and accessories. I'd love to be taking more, but the reality is that I need to be travelling as light as possible, which is easier said than done!

Have you been to any of these countries? Are there any essentials that I am missing?

Stay tuned for part two,

Outfit inspiration {the little mint dress}

1. Mulberry leather jacket // 2. Isabel Marrant Dicker boots // 3. Acne Marlow mint dress // 4. J.Crew cuff // 5. Alexander Wang Rocco bag

So remember the Dicker boots I had on my wish list + my self imposed shopping ban? Well if your following me on Instagram, you'll know that I caved and ended up getting the boots (!) but I'm so glad I did as they are extremely comfortable + I know I will be wearing them all the time.

I'm loving this edgy look with the Acne Marlow dress - such a perfect outfit to transition into Spring with, don't you think?

I'll be back later today with an exciting giveaway so stay tuned.

Outfit inspiration {weekend style}

1. J Crew chambray shirt // 2. James Perse white t-shirt // 3. Alexander McQueen scarf // 4. Current Elliot skinny jeans // 5. Wayfarer sunglasses // 6. Matine clutch // 7. Maximo studded flats.

I just placed an order for these shoes + this chambray shirt so I couldn't help but start playing around with outfit ideas. This would make a perfect outfit for running around on the weekend, don't you think? 

My photography course is on tomorrow, which I can't wait for + I hope to be able to start sharing more of my own pics with you soon!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead,

Rachel xo
