There's nothing like a great dress and a fabulous pair of heels to pick up my mood, this was the outfit for that. 

Maiocchi is an Aussie label, all dresses are designed and made in Brisbane which is awesome! They offer a wide variety of styles but I could not resist this beautifully made dress with it's excellent fit and perfectly retro print. Made of a lovely thick cotton the dress is one that just seems to fit me so well and I could instantly see how great the quality was. 

It was beautiful warm day when I wore this dress a couple of weeks ago, though I think with the thick cotton and a bit of layering I can wear it during Autumn and winter too. I was advised to select the size 6 with my measurements and they were right, the fit is spot on and just really comfy too. I added a green belt of my own to complete the look with some simple styling, I'm really impressed and happy to have been introduced to this Australian label, it's always nice to find Aussie labels that are very much your style.

Now onto these stunning shoes! Shoe Fun is an Aussie store that stocks some of the best retro, quirky and beautiful shoes... They are a go to store because they have everything I need (or just really, REALLY want) which is also very dangerous. I was offered these beautiful shoes which also come in black, hot pink and green. I went for white because they felt summery and would go with most things in my wardrobe. I opened the shoe box when I picked them up from my PO Box and went "oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh" the crisp white with a floral lace design and scalloped edges speaks to me on so many levels. I then turned them around and would you look at that, pink soles, omg!

I put them on in the car straight away and my usual size 40 was the perfect fit.  I also love this size heel as it provides the perfect amount of height and combined with a thicker heel makes them really comfy. I love a strappy shoe like this too, I am someone who walks really fast (I swear it's my nautral pace) so I like my feet to be strapped in for the ride. I wore them for a walk along the waterfront for their first outing and they felt very comfy, expect to see them paired with some other looks coming to the blog soon! Shoe Fun always provides fast and friendly service, they're always happy to answer any questions I may and usually have. Be sure to check out all of the other beautiful shoes they have on offer.

I spent the weekend sewing a dress and oh my gosh I think it's one of my favourite creations to date, so excited to share photos of it and talk about my sewing goals a little more.
