New beginnings {& a giveaway!}.

Am not even going to begin to deny that the space between now and the last post has been one occupied by a rather hectic agenda - certainly the most glamorous side of being a doctor...

But finally, finally, have summoned some time in between the long arduous hours in the hospital to spend in the golden Australian sunshine with family, friends, and even watch my beautiful cousin marry her love {oh Mei-Yan, what a joyous day!} - such a luxury that I habitually took for granted in the formative years...

...And to apologise profusely for the terribly rude absence, I have collaborated with the incredible team at The Luxe Project and am hosting a giveaway for the absolutely lovely clutch featured in this post. 

This is a collaboration I am particularly fond of as I find myself drawn to ethical and sustainable fashion choices that don't compromise on style - and The Luxe Project are impossibly perfect purveyors of gorgeous accessories that add charm and vivacity to any outfit. Their one-of-a-kind accessories are absolutely obligatory for tropical summer holidays and languid beach trips but the ultimate clincher is their holistic, sustainable ethos that is becoming an increasingly important consideration in my recent purchases.

To enter, simply:
(1) Like The Luxe Project on Facebook or follow them on Instagram {@theluxeproject}
(2) Like this blog on Facebook or follow on Instagram {@frocks_frivolities}
(3) Comment on this post, Facebook, or Instagram so I know you've entered!

The competition will close on February 3 :) 

Sending love, as always, and wishing you all a splendid week!

  9. Lovely top and shorts combo - they compliment eachother so well I assumed it was a romper! The crochet detailing along the sleeves is pretty sweet and goes great with the off the shoulder style. And you are so pretty!!

  19. I'm in love with that top .. Looks perfect on you, master of all white looks ♥ Such a pretty clutch too, so of course I'm entering your giveaway! Already following you on Instagram, and just followed @theluxeproject (my profile @indiebyheart_satu)

    x Thank you so much for all the lovely words on my post. You manage to lighten up my day from thousands of kilometers away! I had to look up the word "resplendent", since (as seen during all this time exchanging comments) my vocabulary isn't as wide as yours. :) But I'm constantly learning new things and improving myself with writing in English, thanks to the linguistic talents as you.

    On my side of the World winter has finally arrived with it's full force and after -23 or so I'm glad this week was as "warm" as -10. We must be crazy, us Finns! But summertime is just the best here, so I think we'll manage over cold season with keeping the approaching heat in mind. ;) I hope your January has been lovely and February even better. Warm hug and greetings from up here!
