Who is Florence Broadhurst I hear you asking and what makes her so cool?

Florence Broadhurst was born in 1899 and died in 1977 and was an eccentric and talented Australian woman. After an amazing life overseas filled with a variety of careers, Florence started a wallpaper business in the 1950s and had created over 800 designs by the 70's. 

Her work has inspired generations of designers, with a more recent collaboration with Kate Spade.

2013 Emmy's Best Dressed

Did anyone see the Emmy's? Unfortunately I didn't, but I did see the fashions! Am loving these key colours that dominated the red carpet, lots of blue, soft pink, deep purple/reds and who can forget classic black and white. As you can see jewellery was kept very minimal with drop earrings being the main feature as these gals let their frocks do the talking. I can't go past the dress worn by Linda Cardellinie, I love the layering of the fabric and how it still shows off her gorgeous shape. The colour pops against her lovely pale complexion and hair looks divine. The back is quite low which balances the proportions of the front so nicely. Which ones your favourite?

Kate Spade Spring 2014 at NYFW

There's no denying I love Kate Spade, so I was eagerly anticipating their showing of Spring 2014 at New York Fashion Week. As I had hoped, there are many pieces which I am coveting and trying to think of ways that this Australian girl can make a few purchases. Perhaps a short getaway is in order? I am in love with the navy and white dress featuring a silver zipper detail at the front, the orange coat with big side bow and who can go past that stunning pink and navy tweed coat! The make up was very 60's inspired, featuring a bright white eye and soft pink lip.Images sourced from Lauren Conrad.
