effortless glamour 

An easy way to dress up your basics.

Heading into the cooler months I tend to arrange my whole wardrobe, so that rather than look at pretty summer florals, floaty tops and the staple shorts especially for our North Queensland weather,  I am now going towards the boyfriend jean or the fitted jean/pant, which is a favourite of mine, long sleeve shirts and array of different style jackets to layer my look on those cooler mornings and evenings. 

A few looks to inspire your next outfit 

Such an effortless chic look that you can dress up with a heel and chunky bracelet or down with flats and messy bun.

Just the basic white shirt, skinny denim and a short tan boot, love this relaxed look.

The stunning bun, the striped flats with a gorgeous block colour bag, make this effortless ensemble look super hot and stylish 

The check shirt is everywhere at the moment with the rolled cuff and the blue Jacket, I love this look.

The chambray shirt is available in so many boutiques now, a staple in everyones wardrobe, you can use the shirt to even layer it over a striped knee length dress or a striped fitted skirt with a white tee, unbuttoned and opened, looks fab! 

White on White, say no more, or maybe just one word, Glamour!

Make sure you experiment, how great does this gorgeous vibrant pop of colour look with a great leopard heel or strappy heel?  I have a couple of stunning heels like this and it really does just add that extra pop to any outfit.

I will finish it off with a favourite of mine, Sequins, I have this bag myself and I can team it with so many looks. This look is ever so simple with a black shirt, nude heels but how fab does it look with the pop of pink, ready for a great lunch with the girls or drinks with my handsome one.

Start experimenting ladies and and as you can see it doesn't take much to look glamourous.

Cocktails, Wine and lots of decadent food

A dear friend is having a birthday soon, so my mind is racing as to all the glamourous things that we can do for a cocktail party with a few girls on an intimate deck over looking the city lights.

I have been obsessing over magazines and social media for many different ideas and a few things have captured my eye as well as some stunning clothes that would be perfect for the occasion too, how could I resist.

The perfect Tulle skirt, you will learn that I love everything about Tulle and sequins and as Rachel Zoe says it should be a staple in anyones wardrobe as it makes anything glamourous looking!  Wanting to pick up a stunning Tulle skirt try space46boutique.com

A little charcoal Grey sequins skirt, just stunning with a nice silk flowing lighter grey blouse with a 3/4 sleeve is just devine, isn't it? Lets not forget the perfect tan as well, who doesn't loved to be bronzed, DIY at home using Jbronze or head to a professional, I can hear Speedy Tan calling me now. 

How stunning is this cocktail number, if you can do it, I say wear it!

Lets finish the look off with a makeup inspired look, a stunning smokey eye with a nude lip perfect for the above outfits.

When it comes to Cocktails, I think champagne cocktails are perfect for the occasion, why not celebrate in absolute style, with a little sparkle.

Hope you have enjoyed my latest cocktail party inspired blog, hope this inspires you to have a glamourous party of your own.

Best wishes to my dear friend who will be celebrating her birthday in style no matter where she is.

With the love of everything glamourous we sometimes forget the most important thing that makes this happen, its ourselves.  

Its not the label you are wearing or the type of car you are driving, but lets not try to deny that those things are too very wonderful and we enjoy greatly, its also the confidence that comes from oneself, the smile when you feel happy or a sense of achievement that you nailed a great meeting, or just dropping the children off to school on time.

I have started my blog to enable me to share my love of all things glamourous, anything from fashion to parties, health and wellbeing to things that may make our days a little easier on that one day that things don't seem to be going right, as a busy forty something year old, being a mum and career woman its always nice to sometimes wish, dream and believe.

I will leave you a few of my favourite looks, we are coming into our cooler months now so I am loving a few of these gorgeous pieces.

These perfect skinny waxed jeans are a great addition to your wardrobe as well as this stunning wide knitted jumper, and not to mention the white shoes, what a perfect combo.

 I am also loving the basic white shirt with a gorgeous cargo pant, be it the army green or even navy, very basic but dress it down with flats or jazz it up with a nice heel. If you are after a gorgeous white shirt, pop on over to witchery.com.au and support OCRF 100% proceeds go directly to OCRF.

Tulle, I think we all love Carrie Bradshaw and the thought of walking through New York City in this stunning design makes me just melt.

Lets finish these gorgeous looks off with a touch of sequins, love the roll of the jeans, its so on trend right now, add some sequins to your wardrobe and you cant go wrong. 

I hope you enjoyed a little glimpse into my new blog and I really look forward to bringing you many more.   (all pictures courtesy of http://www.pinterest.com/petamayes/fashion/)
