{Stay on Top}

My love affair with polka dots continues with this playful polka dot dress from Topshop.  On the topic of Topshop... we Sydneysiders finally got our very first Topshop store! I must admit that I only have a few Topshop items and this dress by far is my favourite. The blue and white combination is so classic and easy to work with. I remember how I instantly gravitated towards it instore when I was in London earlier in the year and it has been a wardrobe staple ever since! (Note: now that I'm looking at the hemline in these photos, I think it might have shrunk a bit in the wash...sadface).

I am sorry I haven't posted in a week! I'm trying to stay on top of everything - uni (end of semester assessments are looming), new job (it's like learning a new language), friends (who give me so many reasons to smile) and everything in between!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone - I am definitely gonna make the most of this sunny and calmer weather in Sydney!

:)

Have you bought anything from Topshop?

Sunny days and blossoming flowers are a perfect way to welcome Spring. Seeing the vibrant array of colours on floral dresses, bottoms, tops, jackets, sandals (and the list goes on...) has really urged me to give the floral trend a go. This pastel floral print pant from ASOS looks pretty and fresh without much effort so it's great for a dayout. I wore it to Yumcha...it has been way too long...! ASOS's petite range is growing on me - it is great to buy pants that don't need to be taken up (the fast and free shipping is a plus too!).

Today is Bright Pink Lipstick Day (see here) to raise awareness for breast and ovarian cancer in Australia - are you wearing pink lipstick? I sure am and I think bright lipstick is the perfect accessory for spring.

I am eyeing these floral pieces from Forever New at the moment. I wish I could be bold enough to pull off this jumpsuit!

Have a wonderful long weekend everyone! To those of you celebrating the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival - have a fantastic time with your family and friends and be sure to indulge in some mooncakes!

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Are you a flower lover, and if so, how are you incorporating it into your wardrobe?

I love the playfulness of polka dots and could not resist the bold black dots on this skirt (and only for $20 as well). Pairing it with a tweed jacket (my first one!) really adds a touch of elegance to the outfit. I bought this jacket after reading reviews from extra petite. The colour and cropped cut of this jacket makes it so versatile and perfect for my petite frame - can't wait to pair it with other things from my wardrobe. I am also loving coral at the moment, and think the wedges and necklace are a great way to add pops of colour to an outfit.

Top: Dotti

I can't wait to experiment with more colours and prints as the weather warms up!

Thanks so much for reading!
