Diamonds are a girl's best friend

I never really believed in this saying... until I saw Sretsis' Metamorphosis collection and fell in love with their adorable diamond prints. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a diamond print skirt. The lovely Zooey Deschanel has this in the rainbow print, but I think I like my cream sketch version even better, because of the subtle purple undertones.

Here are some ways that I like to style it: Ladylike elegance with Sretsis Chameleon Ruffle blouse (even better in sunlight when the print on the ruffles turns purple!). Added some studded nude heels.

Bringing out the purple tones with Alice McCall blouse:


Casual with a plain grey singlet from Country Road. Added a hologram necklace, sent to me by Sretsis when I had to return my skirt for the zipper to be fixed.

Here's a detailed pic of the necklace:

Knowing my love for Sretsis, my husband bought me the Diamond Scallop dress for my birthday. The cream print is actually more colourful than it appears from this image.

Here is a close-up (can you see the girl's silhouette merging into the diamond?):

While we're on the topic of diamonds, let's finish with a wedding pic: My engagement ring, my wedding ring and my husband's wedding ring. My engagement ring was picked by both of us in a shop window (pre-proposal). The tall part is white gold with a white diamond. The knife-edge band is yellow gold and has tiny white diamonds lining each side. My wedding band was made to fit neatly next to it and is white gold with yellow diamonds. My husband's ring was his grandfather's, but we got the jeweller to polish it up and insert a small diamond. My bouquet was cream roses.
