Online Dreaming

Our avid blog readers will be well aware I have a little obsession with an online store called Net-A-Porter. It's not just some little obsession, it's a full blown love affair. I can't get enough of it! The most desireable and beautiful designer pieces are available at the click of a button, which makes life easy if you happen to live in Australia as some of stocked labels are a no-go zone for us, unfortunately. I was even more in love when I realised they have now opened their Wedding Boutique, an online store where you can get everything for the bride, bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride and even the wedding guests! They offer complete styling tips and I can personally guarantee you will fall in love with at least 5 pieces. Short and long dresses, dresses with silk and lace, suits, skirt and tops; everything is here. I could go on about this for hours but I won't. Visit www.net-a-porter.com to browse the complete Wedding Boutique but I must worn you, you will fall in love and you won't want to leave. Also, keep your credit card well away if you're not keen on spending. It would be easy to rack up an astronomical bill!

You can choose from a simply hip range of designers from Lanvin, Marchesa, One Vintage and Yves Saint Laurent to Temperly London, Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti, Fendi, Halston abd the list goes on!


Temperley London embellished crepe-silk gown £2,754 and Lanvin washed silk-satin jeweled gown £5,434


Yves Saint Laurent satin-trimmed tuxedo suit £2,355 and One Vintage Lucy dress £10,406

There is a super pretty selection of veils and heapieces available, ranging from classic and uber feminine to modern and sharp. I adore the Lanvin Ostrich feather-trimmed veil. Too pretty for words!


Lanvin Ostrich feather-trimmed veil £409 and Maison Michel Uffie miniature top hat with veil £362

How could I ignore the amazing selection of shoes! Louboutin's, Choo's, McQueen's, Fendi's, Valentino's... heaven! You'll also find every accessory you'll ever need including jewellery, headpieces, bags, coverups and pieces of gorgeous lingerie. Oh my!


Giuseppe Zanotti embellished leather sandal £758 and Christian Louboutin Studio 120 peep-toe pumps £1,267

Humming All the Way

There's nothing more gorgeous than a bride sporting a magnificent headpiece. More and more brides are opting for headpieces, with or without veils, as a way to put a stamp of authenticity on their look. Many headpieces can end up looking the same but it's always refreshing to come across designers who see that individuality plays such an important role in the overall style of a wedding.

I came across The Hummingbird Road and thought I had to share their pieces with you. Specialising in one of a kind hair adornments for weddings, special events or everyday wear the pieces are just divine. Based in Melbourne, the label officially began in early 2009 with their goal of introducing a completely fresh interpretation of hair adornments quickly coming to life. The Hummingbird aesthetic is inspired by the delicate, feminine sophistication of the past eras such as the Regancy era, French Bohemianism era, Fin de Siecle era and the glamour of old Hollywood. Designers Sonnya and Elena have created a line that features pieces in irresistible colour palettes with fine and delicate materials, as well as incorporating gorgeous vintage finds. To shop online or to find out more about this up and coming Australian label visit www.thehummingbirdroad.com.


Queen B in gold AUD$35


Enchanged in pale pink AUD$50


Cream Puff AUD$50


Florentyna in lilac AUD$35


Daniella in beige AUD$50 and with Swarovski crystal centrepiece AUD$80
