christian dior's first flagship store opens in sydney

inside christian dior's first flagship store in sydney

Sorry for the absence for the past week and a half, life has certainly been hectic. Today, Christian Dior opened its doors to its first flagship store in Sydney. I certainly do have a passion for interior design and I was not surprised that Dior has brought a French influence into its decor. A classic neutral palette, accented walls and silk carpet - incredibly reminiscent of the Parisian luxury strip and their apartments. This impressive, multi-level store would definitely have one of the best interiors, the other being Burberry on George St.

classic parisian decor and design

As well as bringing a Peter Marino designed store onto the corner of Castlereagh and King streets, Dior also boasts a collection of leather goods, ready-to-wear, a shoe salon  and a wall of jewellery and timepieces from Dior's couture legacy. They are also offering the complete men's collection as well. Also exclusive to this Sydney flagship store are two limited edition pieces which includes the iconic Lady Dior in an unapologetic shade of pink and a satin dress adorned with roses.

For those living for visiting Sydney, perhaps take a small trip to the luxury strip of Paris (although it is appointment only) and admire the impeccably designed surroundings. Are there any anticipated store openings where you live and what are your favourite store interiors?

outfit | denim in distress

Cotton On Shirt, Evolution Jeans Shorts, Rubi Shoes Satchel and Boots, Urban Outfitters Watch and; Chrome iPhone Case from eBay

For a long time now, I never really knew how to wear navy blue on top. To wear with indigo blue denim felt too matchy matchy; wearing it with black bottoms just seemed a bit too dark etc. But now, I have found that pairing it with light blue, almost bleached denim seemed to match perfectly. Thank god I'm out of that fashion black hole (for now!). I kept the outfit really simple, back to basics. I know that as of late, arm candy has been huge (and I'm a big fan too) but it's nice to tone it down a bit and keep it simple. I just wore my watch and had my chrome iPhone case on just to add that little something. It's something to keep in mind: KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid.

outfit | pastels, stripes & temperamental weather

Forever 21 Sweater, DIY collar, Cotton On Jeans, Hot Options by Target Heels, Rubi Shoes Satchel, Urban Outfitters Watch

Lately, it has been difficult dressing for Sydney's temperamental weather. It's either nice and cool, then blazing hot then suddenly large thunderstorms loom over us; so it has definitely been a challenge trying to dress for what it seems fifty weather conditions all in one day. Since spring is a transitional season with lots of late afternoon rain, I wanted to pull some of my light sweaters out again but still try to incorporate some colour for the spring and what a better way to do it with some lilac denim! I also wore a DIY collar I made just so I didn't have so many layers on. Hopefully, this outfit would help me survive Sydney's temperamental weather!
