Despite being on the cusp of winter starting, Sydney has put on some truly beautiful days of late. The sunshine was in full swing at the launch of my new collaboration with Wanderluxe Sleepwear so I wanted to go for a look that was feminine with some lightness to it. This dress is a new season piece from Aussie brand Rachel Gilbert and it fit the brief perfectly. The maxi silhouette has a quiet elegance to it which was perfect being the host of the event. The floral print and the mixed colour palette of varying shades of blue gave the dress a lovely whimsical feel, but the clean lines of the collar and the billowy sleeves gave it some balance and avoided everything becoming too saccharine. I’m petite, so whenever there’s volume involved I always need an element that’s cinched in to avoid it overwhelming my frame so the matching waist tie with scallop detail was perfect.
I wanted a heel that was going to complement the dress so I knew it had to be something in white to pick up on the crispness of the dress. I decided on these Aje heels as the strappy design, not to mention the fact they were the ideal height, designated them to be the perfect shoe to finish off this look. The dress already had a lot of design touches that made it stand out, a shoe that was bold, yet not over the top was needed to avoid both elements competing against each other. Also, I love the fact I was able to support two of my fave Aussie brands, while also debuting a collection with a great Aussie small business.
