Posted on October 7, 2013 by rratavosi

Hope everyone is having a great Monday !

For all the Aussie’s I hope everyone had an awesome long weekend – I know I definitely had quite a nice one but it just went way too fast !

So Last Weekend I shared with you a very gorgeous, simple blue and white floral printed top, this week I’ve got another Blue Floral to share with you.

The weather was quite Hot and Humid, as it always is when Spring and Summer truly reveal themselves here in Sydney and in saying this A Lady must always dress appropriately !

I present to you a very comfortable, very lightweight cotton floral printed shirt dress.

Scroll down and check out the look !

Twirl and pin back that fringe girl because

it is way too hot to have hair in your face !

Curled the tips of my hair because I wanted that vintage day time look.

Nude brown lips, and short Vintage flicks.

Cute Heart shaped Earrings to tie in the look.

a plaited caramel coloured belt.

and ofcourse we all know what shoes I wore !

me love love loveeee them so much !

My new Laura Ashley three-tone tote bag.

Super big to fit EVERYTHING you could possibly imagine inside !

Shirt Dresses are an all time favourite, especially for Spring.

Collared styles add that clean-cut touch to your look.

This outfit was just so comfy that I lasted all day in it. No Need to re-style it – Night time the weather was beautiful So I didn’t really have to change up the look.

Dessert Time called !

OMG has anyone tried YOGURBERRY !!!

I’m so obssessed – Eastwood YogurBerry is actually Self Serve So my boyfriend and I had a bit of fun mixing up all the toppings Winking smile

Wonderful weekend <3

Posted on September 15, 2013 by rratavosi

Crazy busy weekend, such beautiful and unforgettable moments with the people I love, and a splash of shopping !

That pretty much sums up my weekend…

Saturday morning began with a mad rush to our local “mall” as mum and I quickly tried to get some super important pre-christening errands done.

I was feeling very drained from the work week, struggling to get out of bed and get to it, so I thought I’d try and refresh myself for a big day ahead by adding a fresh pop to my outfit.

Nothing screams BRIGHT louder than a neon multi-coloured cross appliqued across your chest on a sheer pastel.

Add a neon textured scarf to it and VOILA you’re shining “bright like a diamond”.

Do we love it ?!

Limping around with my knee I just couldn’t resist ! I had to stop by at Betts,and well… we all know what happens when I stop by at Betts Smile

YAY – Brought new shoes ! *smiles like a loser*

With my knee, back problems and all, These shoes don’t actually have much of a high heel AND are a great spring/summer style that go with pretty much anything in the wardrobe.

Love the wood and thick black strap design – Cannot wait to take these babies on a Test run.

❤

Shopping was over – we quickly headed home so that I could get my face and hair “did” for our beautiful baby Alex’s christening and First birthday !

Half a can of hairspray and 40 minutes of makeup later, it was dress time !

It seems that when I have important functions there is always something wrong with at least one part of my body, but it’s okay no panic here, we just keep our fashion face on !

For this look I meshed formal with confidence and comfort and with that I present to you the beautiful Saskia Maxi from Zen clothing !

A gorgeous blue and yellow print, elasticated waist, gold embellished high scoop neck and halter cut.

It was just perfect for all my “body” problems.

I wanted to hide my legs,thanks to knee surgery they were uneven and slightly muscle-less, so the smartest way to do it was with a maxi !

As the dress already had a gold embellishment on the neck, Accessorising it was easier than ever.

we added one of these babies.

Gold plated waist belt.

Completely on-trend and very easy to find.

After the gold comes the nude !

Nude beginnings ?!

Add a big envelope bag made from textured material to dress it up.

and instead of cluttering the look with bangles and bracelets, I just did it simple with a tortoise-shell like Fossil watch.

and finally the shoes.

Usually I would dazzle it up with a pair of platforms but due to my knee I found the perfect pair of not-so-casual flats.

Thankyou Therapy and my Boss for helping me hunt these down !

Snakeskin detailed straps.

and a little heel so the back and knees don’t cry.

Now we were ready to go to the church for the christening.

Congratulations Little one on this very special day, you have a whole life ahead of you an we are so happy to be apart of your life – Sharing every little step you take.

❤

After the Church comes the reception of course !

The wonderful parents and Godparents or Alex did a tremendous job at decorating.

Every Child’s heaven.

Wonderful weekend. Complete.

❤

I’m off to bed lovers, xoxo

Goodnight all over the world, Lights out

Much love

Goodmorning it’s Sunday !

Posted on September 8, 2013 by rratavosi

Good morning Sydney and beautiful subscribers worldwide !

Happy Sunday to you all !

The weather here in Sydney isn’t looking its best today but oh boy it was super hot yesterday !

So Hot that my best friend and I headed down to our favourite beach had a beautiful lunch at our favourite place (lifesaver cafe – the most scrumptious satay chicken wrap you will ever had !!!!) and even managed to stroll down and visit some amazing boutiques ( post coming soon).

Checkout our pictures below and see what we wore on this sizzling hot spring day.

❤

Brought to you by one of my besties favourite brands LEE.

She wears the Born Free cut out Muscle Tank.

Such a great edgy, festival piece paired with your Lee denim cut-offs to give you a hot spring look.

It has an awesome cut out low scoop back and laser cut details all over the garment with a cool American Eagle placement !!!

WE LOVE IT !

Top : $59.95 from Lee

Denim cut-offs Also from Lee

❤

I wear something with the same kind of festival vibe, just a little bit different.

I’m wearing a cool skull and lace detailed racer back tank. (which you totally can’t see much of) Loose fit for that hot spring/summer day and an Urban Originals Hat.

I think people underestimate the hat alot - It’s such a wonderful piece to accessorise with especially if you are going to spend time under the sun.

You can look hot and be cautious at the same time !

I’ve thrown on just a basic loose knit Cardigan to cover up from the sun as I am on some new skincare and medication for my acne which I will also share with you below !

Top: not quite sure – it’s a perk from work !

Cardigan : Target Knits

Hat: Urban Originals Australia.

(whistling because the hat said so!)

❤

Yesterday was extremely hot – At some point it was 30 degrees !!!… That’s pretty hot for the first week of spring guys. (but it was soooo lovely ! )

As the weather gets warmer we must all remember to SLIP SLOP SLAP right ? I have been trying this new skincare product. -For those of you who don’t know – I have had trouble with my skin and acne for a very long time. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING…. Well NUMEROUS THINGS !!!! and they just don’t work.

I’ve tried dozens of antibiotics, topical medication, the pill, proactive, lots of different products and medicine but nothing has shown more results than ZO skin health by Zein Obagi. This has probably got to be the most expensive skincare I have ever bought but I must say my skin feels good, my face feels good, and everything is slowly going away, it is doing wonders ! AND the great thing is that even if you don’t have acne it is still very good for your skin.

Now, because there products are expensive my local chemist had a giftpack promotion, so I thought I’d give it a go and I suggest the same to anyone who is going to try it.

My Experience :

It is my second week using this product and I’m not going to lie, within the first couple of days of using it, I was already feeling good.

The pack I bought has an exfoliating cleanser, this is the first step. When I say exfoliating I don’t mean harsh granules of sand rubbing against your skin making it all red and horrible. It is a smooth clear gel with little beads that explode or get mushed whilst you are applying it. It does a wonderful job at clearing any dirt and oil from your face and doesn’t leave it feeling dry.

The next step, (also in the pack) Offects, TE pads Acne Pore Treatment. This product Reduces sebum production, removes dead skin cells and deep-cleans congested pores using 2% salicylic acid. It has special Botanical extracts that calm inflammation and soothe irritation, it’s Recommended for oily skin and breakouts. You simply wipe your face with one of these focusing on problem areas until the pad starts to get dry.

This third product I LOVVVVVEEEEEE !!!!!! It is the Oclipse sunscreen and primer spf30 duo ! I use it under my foundation and it gives me an even coverage as well as insanely protecting my skin from that harsh sun.

I have been using these products every day and can already see such great differences. I have few acne popping up here and there, and all that’s left are the blemishes, and that will slowly fade away with the use of ZO skin healths products.

If you don’t know of a good primer or moisturiser to use for your skin, I absolutely recommend this to everyone ! Anyone at any age can use it, you can wear it under your foundation or on its own. It ahs plenty of vitamins and nutrients and your skin will love you for looking after it.

They have a great range of products dedicated to anti-aging, skin health and acne so please do check out the rest of their products. Click here to visit their site.

❤

Well, I’m off for Some Sunday fun regardless of the weather !

Stay tuned this week as I finally bring you the shots from spring/summer !

xxxx Much love,

Neon Lace <3 | My Sister in Law’s wardrobe

Posted on August 6, 2013 by rratavosi

neonNEONneonNEON…!!!

So if you haven’t already guessed, today’s trend topic is NEON. Below is my lovely sister-in-law sporting this trend.

Vana wears this BOLD neon lime Lace top from Bardot. It has a super cute black tie up bow at the back and also a very nice timeless scalloped edge on both the hem and sleeves. Matte black A-line mini skirt from label Whitney Eve.

Accessories !

She has accessorised her look with a big Michael Kors Tote Bag.

She also wear a Silver Jewelled Necklace to tie in the look.

When accessorising with neon Lace it is important to remember not to overdo the entire outfit.

There is no need to bling it out excessively. Just one simple Necklace will do if the neckline allows it, as there is already a lot going on in not only the lace pattern but the colour too.

Now I know it’s usually a Summer trend, which is now frequently seen on icons and bloggers in the northern hemisphere. ( Wish we were enjoying it with you too boohoo!) but you can always bring it back during winter to add a nice pop of colour to your outfit.

Actress and Blogger Ashley Madekwe recently blogged a similar look.

Ashley wears a playsuit made from neon lace, faux leather and ruffles. I couldn’t have thought of a better combo in a playsuit myself !

I absolutely love when lace and leather are combined in pieces, it gives it character – it becomes more of a statement piece.

To purchase Ashley’s Playsuit Simply go to her blog or Click here

I have also created A StyleBook on Style Saint dedicated to Neon. Search me, “Rhaya Ratavosi” on stylesaint and it should be on my profile if you scroll down ❤

Hibiscus Florals

Posted on July 11, 2013 by rratavosi

Sometimes when the weather is absolutely horrible and depressing I open up my closet, sit in it for awhile and then pick out the most brightest or boldest item I have.

Something so different to the weather outside just to lift up the mood a little.

The Star of today’s post is a very summery,very fresh, batwing/kimono-sleeve Shirt.

I Picked up this beauty when my friend from Melbourne was down to visit.

We were casually having dinner at Darling Harbour when the sight of these beautiful Hibiscus printed tops and skirts captured our attention (and of course it was an impulse buy).

Now Every time I look at it I think of her and how we had such a great catch up in such a short amount of time ! ❤ you Bianca

Orange and white hibiscus flowers printed on a peach base. Perfect for Spring/Summer

For those of you who are enjoying Spring/Summer now (unlike us) a floral printed shirt like this is definitely a must-have !

Two reasons – 1 is that you can dress it up and make it very day to night as you can wear it buttoned up with a statement necklace – something gold and chunky.

2 is that you can unbutton it like in the picture, for an everyday casual look.

Just add a plain camisole underneath and a loose single pendant necklace.

If it gets a little chilli you can even add a brown scarf.

or even a lightweight metallic thread one.

click on the link to purchase.

Voila ! All set for the day ahead !

For accessories, as mentioned you can play with the orange, pinks, ivory browns and white palette’s – always fun to play with pastels. As well as mixing it up with little splashes of gold or antique gold.

Something new-vintage would look great with this like a small boxy bag, any shade of brown leather or like I have added a nice orange off-the-shoulder bag.

Click on the links to purchase.

something for night…

something for the day…

The brand of the Shirt is “Sweet Girl” unfortunately I couldn’t find you an online link guys ! Sorry !

Monochrome is in !

Posted on June 18, 2013 by rratavosi

Monochrome is in !

Cardigans, colour blocked dresses, patterns and prints, basic little black garments – This Trend is absolutely rocking it – It’s everywhere.

So where do you go from here ?

First of all you bring back the beautiful plain pieces in your wardrobe – yes like that basic tee and every legging you always wear..

and second of all you read this and be a little inspired for your next outfit.

Lucky for you I’ve included a variety of pieces and even linked them in this post.

So if you like.. you buy = ]

Let’s start off with a few dresses.

Piper Lane Colour blocked Dress

Colour Blocked Black and White dresses are so hot Right now !

There are a number of body con styles and two-in-one styles too.

Contrast darker side panels and/or a darker bottom to slim down the figure.

If you want to go for something with a print you can just keep in mind body proportions and print scale.

If you are more fuller on the top go for something with a small scale print.

If you don’t have much of a top you can pull off larger scaled prints.

or you could even take out the little black dress again – it always saves the day… or should I say night ?

If you are more of a 2 piece person the beauty of this minimalist trend is that you can wear the most “plainest” garments and you will still be perfectly on trend.

Wear a plain top like this one from Zara for a sleek day to night time look or add this crisp white waistcoat to sophisticate your everyday casual look.

Black and white printed pants are really popular this season too so it makes it that much easier to find.

Harem pants are always comfy – I’m sure everyone has a pair or even a pair of plain leggings.

High-waist shorts are a great addition to any look as you can wear them with plain black or patterned stockings or if the weather isn’t too cold –just by itself.

There are also a number of skirts in different cuts and prints.

Nookie – Slim fit mini skirt with a black and white sequin animal print.

Stripes are also very on-trend. This pencil skirt is from Portman’s. It has a very bold striped print and black contrast side front panels.

The plain black tee

To add some excitement to your basic black tee go for something a little edgy or different.

The above style has turned up cuffs and an asymmetrical hem – perfect when paired with some contrast wet-look or printed leggings.

something a bit more extreme… ?

If you follow more the grunge, urban style of fashion perhaps some white leather ?

One Teaspoon’s Bowie Leather Jacket is a great essential for the wardrobe.

Classic Biker style with a asymmetrical zip detailing and zip pockets.

V-shaped croc leather detail on the back – makes you Fall in love ❤

Label Three of Something have also nailed it with these two lovely pieces.

Both very wearable for a casual day or night time look.

Battalion Bomber Jacket from label Three Of Something ( above)

Samurai kimono also by Three Of Something(below)

and lastly as I always say… There is a Trench for every trend and this is it…

Traditional trench style with a striped lining twist.

The great thing about this jacket is that it is not only completely relevant to the season and the trend but you can definitely mix it up with your primary blues and greens for later on.

Such a beautiful wearable piece – A Must-Have !

For Jewellery Coco Liberace always have it spot on with their Chunky Gold and silver necklaces and wrist wear.

awesome !

Or if you are after something a bit more timeless then there is only one place to go for that…Tiffany and Co.

Comic Book meets Pop Art meets Fashion.

Posted on June 16, 2013 by rratavosi

The first we really noticed this trend here in Australia was when Romance was Born opened up Fashion week in 2012 with their superhero styled comic book collection.

They absolutely, with no question brought their very own comic book to life and took costume dress up for this theme to a whole new ready-to-wear level.

Since then I have started to notice more “pops” of this trend come about through even bigger designers and even hit the shelves in department stores.

And somehow (through my lovely job) managed to get my hands on a very special Pop art Tube Skirt From Top Shop. (below)

This beautiful comic Art inspired Skirt is absolutely GORGEOUS and such a fun piece to have.

It’s super trend driven and all the pops of Red and Yellow colour make it that much easier to Style.

The Perfect Colour Palette for this trend is obviously Black and white with a combination of Red, Yellow and Blue.

Accessories that would go perfect with this trend are high shine bags and belts and Gold Coloured jewellery.

Primary Coloured Shoes, Red, Blue and Yellow would also go well with this trend.

Although this skirt is not available on Top shops Website.

There are a number of other Comic/Pop Art inspired pieces Still available. (below)

Be Quick to purchase as they may not last very long.

Simply Click here to be directed.

Now,

To look at some other Designers who have also “WOW’d” US !

3.1 Phillip Lim, Pre-Fall 2012 Collection.

I know its Pre-fall 2012 but I absolutely love it AND it’s TOTALY RELEVANT.

"Everyone wants garments to be superheroes” said Designer Phillip Lim.

In fact, some would even agree that many of his pieces were constructed from such great high-tech fabrics with remarkable design functionality , that would be enough to actually and incredibly save you from any wardrobe strife you’d be in.

Super POWERS !

I love how minimal the core pieces in this collection are.

To View the Full collection click here.

So, before I go - A little secret between you and I – there is more to come of this trend in Summer 2013 in Australia.

So definitely keep your eyes out at the major department stores.

Much Love,

Yours Truly

Commercial Finds ! A Not-So Boring Cardi !

Posted on June 11, 2013 by rratavosi

I am a Cardigan fan !

I am always wearing one, AND styling my garments with them too, because I guess you just never know when there will be the tiniest breeze. ha !

I think they are just one of those perfect daywear pieces every girl MUST-HAVE.

I wear mostly plain coloured Cardi’s, usually oversized, from Ladakh, cotton on or Zara basics. I find these three nail it the best !

Something plain for everyday wear is usually What I look for BUT when I ventured out to look for yet another Cardigan to add to my thousand Cardi’s I came across All sorts of Textures and designs…

Although, The Days Winner , was this very soft and warm Supre Cardigan.

Very Fresh with a nice geometric/slightly Aztec design.

Contrast black Sleeves

Black and “winter white”

This caught my eye because it wasn’t your usual autumn/winter Cardigan.

The combination of colours and it’s presentation give you the ease of pairing it with spring/summer brights such as your limes and oranges as well as the very common primary palette of Red and Blue.

And I guess that is what makes this one of those fantastic Tran –seasonal pieces that you would in fact be able to wear all year round no matter what the on-trend palette is.

With this particular Styling session I have only added one Pop Colour – Lime as it goes very well with the black and white knit print.

It is all very fresh ! So instead of showing you what it would look like with a winter palette I really wanted to show you a spring/summer Tran-seasonal alternative so you all can see how well it can be used later on a season later.

To add a core piece, something very basic We have our black denim. Any style, you choose whatever you are comfortable in. It can even be a pair of really great Ponte leggings you like to wear.

Now to Summer-fy this look I have also added black wedges that have a hessian-look wedge heel. This gives it a very Resort look and also even dresses up the garment.

Other little bits and pieces – A feather necklace and earring set to tie in the somewhat “geometric/Aztec” like vibe going on there or even just a set of plain silver chains bundled in a necklace.

Other colours that would be great to style with this are primary blue/royal blue or even white with a graphic print.

So if you’ve fallen in love with this cardigan you can head to your nearest Supre store Or simply click the link here and be directed to their online store.

xxxx Much Love,

Yours Truly
