Cocktails & Cupcakes



I had the most divine afternoon on Saturday, spending a few hours with some of Melbourne's premier female fashion bloggers.

We shared stories, laughter, ideas and our experiences regarding blogging and how to keep things interesting!

The unpredictable Melbourne weather had me in a spin as I flitted between a lovely light cotton tea-dress or a warmer, high waisted skirt and jacket. In the end, the warmer outfit won and in true Melbourne fashion, on arrival at our stylish venue (complete with faux grass and waiters in tennis gear) the clouds gave way to brilliant sunshine. Oh well. My tea dress will keep for another sunny day!



I had such a lovely time in the company of women who were all so different, so stylish and so talented. I highly recommend you drop by the blogs of each - they give a multi-layered perspective of how diverse Melbourne is. They each add unique colour to the rainbow of style found in and around our city:

Lady Melbourne & Super Kawaii Mama


Circa Vintage, Fashion Hayley Hits Home, Peeptoes & Pedicures, AusStyle


Super Kawaii Mama, Esme & the Laneway, Porcelain Blonde


Esme & the Laneway with Ditta Von Tesse's new book


The always glamorous Super Kawaii Mama


Stylish Stockings of Esme & The Laneway


The perfectly shod feet of Porcelain Blonde


Fashion Hayley doing what she does best!

Diamondsinchampagne, next time perhaps you will be down south so you can join us!

Honey and Lemon, it was a lovely day.

Miss Karen, we missed you. I'm sorry to hear about your cold. I perscribe chocolate for the pain and Champagne for the hell of it. Stat!

Dreamer, I was so glad you could come, here's to the next one!

Imelda, A Despotic Queen such as yourself would have brought a touch of debauchery without a doubt. Perhaps next time?
