2012 in a nutshell

2012, oh what a year! Like every year I’m sure you’ve experienced the ups and the downs that this year has thrown your way, but with the last day of the year amongst us already I’d like to reflect on the good times including new experiences, adventures and all the lovely people I have met!

So like last year’s post ‘2011 in a nutshell’ I thought I would carry on the tradition and name a few memorable events of 2012. I have compiled a facebook album of pictures from throughout the year of travelling, new experiences, people I have met through my blog and starting my jewellery line. So check it out HERE.

So long 2012, I bid you farewell. I hope the new year is good to us all!

Shopping Sunday: Jewel-toned



Jewel-toned hues have always been present in collections from season to season, but as we saw last season (and until now) cobalt blue still continues to be popular in many labels. This season I am thrilled that emerald green is coming with a strong force, as it is one of my absolute favourite colours. So treat yourself and dress like the precious gem that you are!

Shopping haul in Dubai

As I've mentioned previously, the best part about visiting Dubai every year (besides seeing family and friends) is shopping. Lots and lots of it. 
This a video I put together of some of my favourite purchases I made in the first week of my trip. It's my very first video so I'd love to hear what you think of it! And please subscribe to my youtube channel, I'm putting together a very special video about my entire Dubai trip.

Blue hearts

Merry Christmas everyone! Hope you all had a lovely Christmas eve and received/gave lots of amazing presents.

Even though I took these photos just before I came to Dubai, I just had to share them with you because I like the way they turned out. I was in St. Kilda beach with my dear friend Monica (who I shot as one of the 7AL blogger picks series in a previous post) and she was kind enough to take a few outfit shots. It wasn't the hottest of days but the clouds look really great in the photos so baring the cold and wind was worth it.

I know I haven't posted any Dubai related posts yet even though I've been here for over a week now, but I promise to post one on Thursday and it's going to be my very first video so stay tuned! Also, I post daily updates on instagram so make sure you follow me there to see what I'm up to (@7autumnleaves)

Shopping Sunday: new years eve party frock



Choosing the dress to welcome the new year could appear to be daunting but you can never go wrong with a timeless black & white dress or by adding a little shimmer to your outfit to truly embrace the celebratory spirit! Hope you have your new years eve outfit sorted; and if not, I have you covered with these b&w and shimmery pretty frocks!

Enjoy the last 8 days left of 2013! x

Blogger picks: Le chic world

Last week I met up with the lovely Monica from le chic world of mine at the famous St. Kilda beach to photograph another one of the 7AL blogger picks series. Monica chose to style the Wavelength necklace which complimented her printed dress beautifully since it had clean and simple geometric features.

Packing: What's in my suitcase

In 2 short days I will be heading off to Dubai for the first time in a year, which seems like a long time for me since I have lived there the majority of my life. I usually plan what to take with me very carefully so I only reach about half of the weight limit so that, yups you guessed it, I can SHOP! Fortunately I still have my big wardrobe there which is quite full so if I ever forget anything I'm always covered.
Shop-a-holic + clothes horter = lots and lots of clothes

I think I've done pretty well considering I'll be staying there for 6-7 weeks. These are what I have decided to take with me:

Blogger picks: every day like this

Last time, I introduced a new blogger project for Seven Autumn Leaves jewellery where I asked a few of my dear blogger friends to pick one of their favourite 7AL pieces to style and model them. We started off with Anastasia in the previous post but today I am sharing Sophia's pick (from every day like this) who styled it perfectly with an all black ensemble!

Snakeskined

Typical Melbourne weather just had to turn on us as soon as it gave us a few good days. I am curled up and freezing in bed as I type right now! However, I did manage to take a few indoor shots earlier and thought I should share them. I am definitely in love with my spiked-shoulder blazer which I only had the chance to wear once a few weeks ago at fashion week. I've decided to include it in my carefully curated suitcase hoping it will give me a chance to wear it over there. I'm keeping my suitcase somewhat empty so I can fill it up in the 6 weeks I'm in Dubai.

On a side note, I'd like to thank everyone who has been so lovely and partaken in my very first 7AL jewellery giveaway!
If you haven't already, just visit my previous post and would love it if you could support me by taking part in the competition and sharing it with friends through facebook, twitter or instagram.

So excited to announce the winner next week!

Shopping Sunday: Swimwear




Finally it seems that Melbourne is giving us a good amount of heat and sunshine to jump in the car and head to the beach. For this glorious occasion, I have picked a few items that would make anyone look beach ready and super chic. I'm so in love with the one pieces right now and these ones are just simply gorgeous! Happy beaching ladies x
