The Simple Life

I'm a fan of all things simple as it just reduces the amount of stress that is already involved in my day and my brain. That's the reason why i love this ensemble Blake Lively's rocking. The pallette is just as simple as it is chic: black and white. It's very parisian and reminds me of Chanel and she's got legs for days so why not show them off :). The Australian summer is fast approaching so it's time for me to start increasing the amount of squats and lunges i do daily as i plan on wearing skirts this summer. I'm not going to do what i did last summer; i wore strictly leggings and jeans as i was too embarrassed to show off my legs. Needless to say, it was 40 degrees on some days in Queensland and we had a daily dose of humidity so the ickiness of sweating in jeans or leggings wasn't sexy at all.

Mischa Oh Mischa

I always love having a dress or two in my closet that can cater to those days when i feel bloated and i know that putting on a pair of jeans is the last thing on my mind. But to get the balance right with floaty dresses like this one, the little details count as they stop you looking like a tent. I particulary love this dress Mischa is wearing because of the fade detail towards the bottom of thr dress. It makes the pattern on the material more obvious as this section is a much darker colour that the top bit. Mischa completes her outfit with gold flats and a trusted black shoulder bag.

I'm not usually a fan of Katy Perry but i love the whole ensemble she's got going. I'm not too keen on the material of her dress though as it looks to me like it's satin or silk and it isn't my idea of a nice material for a day dress that i'd wear during summer. I'd rather it was cotton or even jersey as that's more comfortable to wear during the hotter months. Nonetheless, i love the colour co-ordinated effort with her choice of footwear and the fact that she went for a black shoulder bag to stop us from going blind with colour clash.

Chanelling Lauren Conrad

The former Hills star is one of my favourites when it comes to the simple but chic look alongside Gwyneth Paltrow and i must admit that she doesn't disappoint with this look at all. The dress is very reminiscent of what Dita Von Teese would wear as the print looks slightly vintagey to me. I love the fact that she's paired it down with tan accessories to allow the dress to speak for itself. I can absolutely see myself rocking this dress with a pair of tan gladiator flats and a bag. You might have noticed that comfort always comes first on my list but i'm beginning to notice that i can't actually wear heels anymore because i havent worn them in years. So now i can actually feel the pain shoot straight to my head the minute i slip my feet into something high. I have to get back into the groove of wearing them again, any ideas on how i can make this process easy?

Apart from Lauren's dress, i'm also loving her hair and sunglasses. I'm currently on the hunt for a pair of sunnies in that shade of red.

Loving Her Look

I'm currently going through a phase of all things chic: dresses, simplistic outfits and anything that remotely reminds me of Dita Von Teese in a toned down version. Since i'm still in the process of getting a makeover and adding new clothes to my wardrobe, i'm collecting as many celeb pictures as possible to inspire my future purchases. So the first look of today is this one of Vanessa Hudgens. On a normal day, i hate white dresses as they remind me of weddings and i also get very nervous about getting any stains whatsoever on them. I love how she's accessorised with a gold necklace, bangles and flats. From the picture, it's not very obvious but she's also carrying a dark brown shoulder bag. What do you guys think? I'm loving the stack of bracelets she's got going on her left hand. It actually reminds me of Halle Berry.
