It’s my first style post from Melbourne. I know it’s not a scene from the city, but it’s a beautiful background nonetheless. It’s hard to believe it’s winter here considering I’m not wearing tights and it’s so sunny (ok, minus the minor wind during these photos). Today was a special occasion, my niece got baptized. She was absolutely beautiful even though she cried a bit. Since my niece’s name is a variation of basil, I thought I matched the event with my palm floral dress.
I can’t wait to go exploring the city more this week! Here’s hoping “winter” stays this nice for the next couple of weeks. Ted Baker: Dress // Calvin Klein (option): Heels // Kate Spade: Earrings & Bangle
Transitioning into fall can sometimes be difficult. You don’t want to dwell into your winter wardrobe just yet, but you don’t want to let go of your summer wardrobe either. One way of not letting go of that summer wardrobe just yet is by transitioning your favorite article of clothing into a more fall appropriate look.
Take your favorite floral summer maxi dress and just add a leather jacket; right away you have transitioned that summer look into a fall floral look (try saying that three times fast). I love the bright pink florals of this maxi dress because they make me feel happy and definitely brighten my mood. How do you transition your favorite summer article of clothing?

The cream of the crop (top) trend this summer is the crop top. I, myself, have been rocking and loving them especially with high-wasted skirts. They are very playful and just the right amount of belly shows and besides it’s summer, why not show some extra skin for an extra dose of Vitamin D. I got this cute floral crop top from Aritzia in New York a few weeks back when they had crazy sales. It’ll even be easy to transition and layer into my fall wardrobe because I like wearing pieces for multiple seasons.
