7AL jewellery new releases: Florals of hope for 65 roses

I'm really excited to introduce to you the new collection that I've been working on lately. This is a small collection that focuses on one design but a bigger concept. Please read on to find out the inspiration for this collection and share it with your friends and loved ones to help us raise money for Cystic Fibrosis.


Flowers of hope is a special collection that represents the hope that resonates from a situation that is less than ideal. It is meant to encourage you to appreciate all that is good around you.

Flowers of hope for 65 roses:

20% of the profits from this line are donated to the Cystic Fibrosis foundation in Victoria to aid research and support families living with CF.
‘65 Roses’ has been linked to Cystic Fibrosis since the 1950's when a little boy misheard his mother, Mary Weiss, talking about Cystic Fibrosis.
“I often say that only a child could turn something as horrible as Cystic Fibrosis into something as beautiful as Sixty-Five Roses.” – Mary Weiss

I chose this particular foundation because of our recent loss of one of my best friend’s beloved little sister, Rehana, who battled CF. She was the sweetest 15 year old I knew and always seemed to have a positive outlook despite her disease.

This perspex collection represents the positivity that exuded from Rehana and the floral shapes represent the hope and the association with ’65 roses’, or Cystic Fibrosis.

Ruby Red

I've never owned a red gown before, so upon putting this on I immediately felt like I was off to an event. Dressestylist.com customised the dress to my measurements which was great to have that option since long dresses almost never look good on me. I even got to pick the colour which was a great bonus!

Domain flowers bridal photoshoot part 2


As mentioned in part 1 of this post, Kyra from Pybus PR contacted me to be part of a photoshoot along with the talented John DeerCecylia Kee and Andrea Micich. The wonderful space of 1000 £ Bend was decorated with gorgeous flowers and beautiful props thanks to the talented ladies at Domain flowers and the set designers who helped creating those magical mini sets. It was a really fun experience and the photos turned out great and have been featured in a number of bridal websites and blogs. In the previous post I shared the gorgeous Pamela Usanto dress and the more modern take on bridal wear. This second instalment includes more traditional, but still stunning two dresses, by Karen Willis Holmes and the gorgeous Domain Flowers.

Why I've been M.I.A lately

What's keeping me awake ^

The reason why you haven't heard much from me lately is because I've been the busiest I've even been in the last month. I'm constantly running around and pulling late nights with assignments and getting the absolute minimal sleep. But you have no idea how much I appreciate those who keep clicking on and checking my blog. I am currently going through my final week of my second last semester of masters so I will probably not post anything up until this week is done and dusted and I can officially have a break of two months. Good news is, I am travelling soon so expect to see lots of new travel content!

In the meantime, to stay updated and keep in touch, follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter



Love you all x

Trends: White and Strappy

Strappy sandals are one of my favourite trends this season. Combined with another big trend, the colour white, these babies are super affordable yet spot on with the trend and a definite staple in my (always expanding) shoe closet.

Google+ hangout


I’m really excited to share that I will be co-hosting a Google+ hangout with the NYC based blogger Diane of Snapshot Fashion.

I must admit, I have never been part of a Google+ hangout before but I’ve heard it’s a lot of fun, and it’s such a great way to interact!

We will be talking about fashion and style, and everything in between. We will also be answering any questions we receive prior to the hangout, through comments on this blog post, Instagram, Facebook, twitter, even e-mail.

Ask away!

It could be fashion related, whether you want advice on something, or want a second opinion, or even if you would like to know more about us!

Since Google+ only allows a hangout with up to 10 people, spaces are limited to be part of the hangout so comment below with your e-mail if you want to be a part of it and you’d need to have a Google+ account.

However, we will be recording the session so you can watch the answers to your questions and see what we talked about!

Since there is a 14 hour difference between us, this hangout session will be happening at 10am Saturday, May 11th Melbourne time and 8pm Friday, May 10th eastern time for those of you in New york. If you live anywhere else in the World try to figure out what time that would be for you!


So prepare your coffee Saturday morning and join us!

Seven Autumn Leaves turns 2



This month marks the two-year anniversary of Seven Autumn Leaves blog. I started this blog as a creative outlet and to have a platform that enables me to talk about fashion-related topics. In the past two years, I have had many great opportunities, met some amazing people but most of all I learned a lot about things that are beyond just ‘fashion’. I’ve learned a lot about the industry in general and also learned a lot about myself, and my personal style through experimentation. By taking some time off lately to focus on finishing off my masters, I have had the time to focus and reflect on what my blog is really about. I want it to be somewhere I share my personal style (fashion faux-pas and all) but I also want to take it to a new level this year and try to occasionally write about topics that I find interesting and want to share with my readers, still fashion related ofcourse. I don’t want it to just be about my outfits and events or travel, although these will still be an integral part of the blog.

I want to thank you all for being supportive by visiting my page, leaving sweet comments, liking photos on my fb page or Instagram, and just plain being awesome. I can’t wait to see where the next year takes us!

Video: Seven Autumn Leaves at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia

Another city, another video diary. I'm enjoying making these travel video diaries lately; it's just so much fun to try and get better at taking the footage, putting it together and editing. And even though this trip was only a short 2 days, I managed to get just the right amount to perfectly fit the 2 minute intro song from the xx album (which I love btw!)

So hope you enjoy it!
