I wonder why we have not discovered the Wharf side of Manly earlier? Stunning views and delicious food made it top of our favorite locations. Another night we went out for a dinner at the Pavilion and I could not help but wonder will I ever be able to trade Sydney for any other city in the world? Warm ocean breezes and ethereal sunsets…

On that night I wore a delicate dress by White Suede. While it has all the stylistic advantages of a classic LBD, this charmer is so much more than just that. An accurate collar, gentle chiffon neck panel and layers of soft lace… feminine and somehow art deco resembling. To let the details stand out I went easy on accessories – a line of pearls worn as a bracelet and little lace socks. I shall confess, recently I’ve been pairing socks with classic heels and even stilettos a lot (eg, here). As it was quite windy on that night I pulled my hair back in a pony tail and it actually added to the look – rather more lady like.

As they say, life all comes down to a few moments… Well, that evening was definitely one of them.

    The dress is so romantic and feminine – adore the details of dress and socks, too.
    I’m sure the sunset was envious of you. xx

    Fabulous styling – the socks are the perfect finishing touch! My parents are flying to Australia for a long holiday tomorrow… so jealous of your warm weather (England is cold, wet and windy. Yuk!)

    Love your blog btw, have recently started to follow you :)
