TORY BURCH (New York) Ruffle-Trimmed Silk Blouse

The secretary blouse of the ’80s is back, but not just for the office. Featuring romantic waterfall ruffles down the front and a pony-inspired polka dot print, this sweet but sophisticated slightly sheer piece from Tory Burch would look just as lovely with high-waisted shorts and sandals, or straight-leg pants and boots.

(RRP US$295)

If you're gonna do it, do it right, right?
Have a good Sunday :)

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone—because we will need it.

Let’s hope 2014 was the annus horribilis we had to have, and that 2015 will serve us all well.

Be safe and see you in 2015!

COUNTRY ROAD

Country Road is an Australian icon that today operates more than 170 stores and concessions mostly in Australia and New Zealand. In 2014, the brand welcomed its 40th anniversary with a renewed confidence and a series of campaigns that drew attention to the beauty of where it all began: a short film featured rising star Isabel Lucas taking in the oldest Australian wool farms, and a Summer-themed clip that also marked Gemma Ward’s first major advertising comeback (the supermodel took a 6-year hiatus).
