Here are some of my favorite Aussie brands!Market HQ styling is always impeccable and they’re perfectly Bohemian chic!Princess Polly is another favorite Australian boutique that I love!

Cheers to a Bright Day

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

I hope all of you had a fabulous weekend! Pirates of the Caribbean was amazing by the way! It feels a little bit dragging at times but it was worth every minute of it to see Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz together. And Gemma Ward as a mermaid! The next movies I’m looking forward to see are Kung Fu Panda 2 (I love the first one!) and the last Harry Potter!I love waking up with the smell of flowers, freshly-squeezed orange juice and writing down my ideas for the day. And eating my favorite candy before I head out the door! By the way, what’s your favorite candy? Mine are M & Ms, Reese Peanut Butter Cups and Kit Kat Bars. Closet Visit is an amazing website full of models, stylists and store owners who mostly reside in LA. I love seeing inside their closets!I’m a big fan of Parabal Gurung and I was so excited to hear that he’s designing a limited collection for Jcrew. They look great! I love reading the list of things that make him happy! Love these three outfits from DVF! Perfect for the office. From Left to right: Eris Top $185.00, Gyls Top $245.00, Cyrani Dress $345.00
