Friday Fashionista :: Mint and grey.

So today's Friday Fashionista is dedicated to my fabulous Mum, from whom I received the inspiration for this gorgeous colour theme. She was sporting quite the outfit yesterday; grey and white striped knitted tee, mint cardi, blue jeans, grey ballet flats, grey handbag and of course mint and grey accessories. Well done and a shout out to my wonderful Mum! :)

Love the shade of this cardi..

And that scarf = I love!

Amazing mixture of textures and fabrics.

Boys here's one for you.

Pale pale mint + giant polka dot = fab. 

"Mint and green party" :)

Beachy chic.

Dip dye.

How comfy does this jumper look?

And la naturale to finish with (even though it's turquoise and not mint, I thought it was a cute outfit..) Happy Friday my friends. Have a beautiful weekend and I shall see YOU.. next week. Be blessed!

A generous encourager.

Yesterday I was given a card from some people I love very dearly. As I was reading their abundant words of love and encouragement, I felt like I was literally being lit up on the inside. Isn't it amazing that words can do that? I think that's why I love writing so much. When you think about it, words are just letters put together, but when you add a heart behind it, these words literally carry LIFE. :)

What do you need encouragement in today? 

Maybe there's something you're not too sure about.. 

Or maybe you just need to hear those four little words.. "You can do it!!"

Well, what we sow we reap.. so guess what our task is today?

When we sow encouragement, we will reap encouragement.
And when we are encouraged... we flourish.

So let me encourage YOU! Look around you today and really see with the eyes of your heart. There may be someone who crosses your path who simply needs to hear they are doing a great job. :) 

Draw out the gold in others and watch what happens. Your seed of generous encouragement could be the key to someone's breakthrough.

Have a happy Thursday my friends! Thank you for reading my blog, I appreciate each of you from the bottom of my heart! Bless you today.. :)

The 'to do' list.

OK. Imagine you are here today. This is your office and you are preparing your 'to do' list for the day. We all have 'to do' lists right? Well even if you say you don't, you actually do... you just have it in your head. :) Now, some lists, I must admit are more in depth than others..

And others just need a bit of inspiration to write..

Or a bit of colour..

But put your hand up if you are like me.. if you do something and then realise that it is not even ON your list, you immediately proceed to add it to the list, so you can then tick it off. Right?! Otherwise, where was the satisfaction in even completing the task?! Who is with me?! How good does it feel ticking something off the list?!

Anyway.. of course 'to do' lists are great, but sometimes they can get slightly overwhelming and feel like they are overtaking us, leaving us feeling a little..

BUT today.. whatever you are doing, and no matter how busy you are, don’t fret or worry! Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. OK. Are you ready?! Here is today's to do list for you....

How funny is that! Happy Wednesday friends!

Friday Fashionista :: Diane von Furstenberg

Happy Friday friends! I was just looking at some of Diane von Furstenberg's stunning pieces from her Spring 2013 Ready-to-Wear Collection.. Just thought I'd share, as although we are technically now in Autumn in Australia, many of these fabulous Spring Collections parading up and down the world's slickest runways are all quite relevant to us here! Hope you enjoy. ;)

Coral + mint. Just lovely!

Not part of the Spring Collection, but I just thought this DVF outfit was cute..

Cute combo.. :)

I reeeally want these sandles!

The lovely lady herself at her show with Sarah Jessica Parker. 
(Both wearing DVF of course).

Beautiful from front..

But stunnnning from the back!

Navy silk trousers.. Lovvvvve them.

And a sparkly one to end! Fabbbbbulous turquoise sequins + beautiful red.

Have a great long weekend Melbourne and Tassie peeps!

Endless Summer.

For those of us in Australia.. we are well and truly living in an Endless Summer! If you're anything like me and don't want Summer to end, you will be loving the fact that it is going to be hot ALL week. That's right. Bliss.

Yesterday afternoon I was at Brighton Beach in Melbourne, along with many other die-hard Melbourne "I-love-Summer-so-much-I-am-making-the-most-of-every-single-beach-day" fans. So.. here are some tips for you to make the most of this glorrrrious weather! Enjoy!

1. Head to Moonlight Cinemas.. or create your own outdoor movie cinema in someone's backyard, complete with cushions and lanterns of course.

2. Grab some fish and chips and head down to your nearest beach after work one night with some friends (lanterns, candles, rugs and pillows optional.. but so much more fun don't you think?!) 

3. Escape the city for a night this weekend.. Round up a crew and head to a beachside camp site, set up some simple tents, BYO chairs and you are set! 

So let me encourage you there is more to come! Think outside the box this week and do something fun and impromptu! Let me know what you do and the most fabulous "Endless Summer activity" will score a mention in one of next week's blog posts! :)

Happy Monday!

Friday Fashionista // Fabulous Fuschia.

Happy Friday ladies and gents.. how has your week been? Personally I think yesterday was a little too cold for my liking.. thank goodness the temperature is increasing today and over the weekend! Today we are looking at Fuschia! So so sit back and enjoy.. :)

Love it how the fuschia just pops against the yellow.

Boys.. time to get your fuschia on!

Oh Cameron. Great colour for you.

What else would you be waiting for the tram dressed in?

Puffy skirt. Fun!

And time for a dance.. :)
