New editions

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:00:00 GMT

I'm like a kid in a candy shop when it comes to new editions in my wardrobe....

Which leaves me with a big problem....

I get tooo easily sucked in when it comes to sales...

1. Oooh I can get two things for the price I would usually pay for one.... that means I can buy two things right?

2. I instantly see things in the sale that I love only to find they are not in my size!

3. I convince myself that perhaps they could fit... who knows, surely it is worth a try for that price.

Then daadaa, they turn up and do not fit. I am left more frustrated and disappointed as I know see that the 'said item' is even more amazing in real life.

I have now promised myself to not get so carried away in a sale again... yeah right!

Shady days

Sat, 14 Aug 2010 12:00:00 GMT

You can't go past a pair of big black sunnies as the ultimate classic accessory.

Not only are they big enough to hide a multitude of late night sins, they also look pretty damn chic!

The perfect fit

Mon, 09 Aug 2010 12:00:00 GMT

It was love at first sight when I saw the coat that Alexandra Golovanoff was wearing. A little bit of stripe, a little bit of shearling, it's like it was made for me!

I have been searching high and low for the perfect winter coat, but all I seem to find is clones of coats that look the same for the last 10 years!

Now I wonder where Alexandra got her's?

I keep eyeing up all the styles at Net-a-porter. The only down side is that I now want to re-do my whole warbrobe....

Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:00:00 GMT

You've heard me say it before, but there is just something so cool about aged denim cut-offs. Being 6 foot and stunning probably does these cut-offs no harm either. Let's be honest these girls would look good in a dirty old paper bag.

I love a bit of slouch to my boot.... and let's be honest, no one makes them cooler than Isabel Marant.

Lost not lonely

Sun, 04 Jul 2010 12:00:00 GMT

I have a feeling, you'll be anything but 'Lonely' in the new lingerie collection from Lonely Hearts.

Forget about saving it for the bedroom. This range is too good to cover up.... wear it with a loose fitting tank so it can peek out the side.

That title sounds pretty dangerous.... me, my sissors in my left hand.... yes I'm left handed so I tend to cut a little wonky. Not to worry though this style is pretty much fool proof!

Catherine Deneuve, has me wanting to ride round on a bicycle with bare feet and cute little hats.

This stunning french actress was known to be muse to the master of dressing Yves Saint Laurent... lucky girl....

She was a 60's sex-kitten yet her allure was anything but trampy. She always maintained a high level of class and it was she who wore the clothes.... not the clothes that wore her.

So how far should we take this sheer business? There is a very fine line between delicately sheer and disasterously stripper. Tone it down with a solid piece and wear a bra that goes perfectly with the top.

*warning: this look may attract googly eyes from men and snawls from their girlfriends.

Iconic

Mon, 28 Jun 2010 12:00:00 GMT

Remember this scarf? It soared so high in popularity that it has nowhere to go but fall back down. Once I saw this new shade though, it had me wanting an Alexander McQueen skull scarf all over again.

In her shoes

Wed, 16 Jun 2010 12:00:00 GMT

These details at Rag & Bone got me thinking about socks and shoes.

Some girls pull it off so well.... but then sometimes it can look so wrong.

I came to the conclusion that it's all about dimensions and tones. It all depends on the length of what your wearing it with.... so pretty much the shorter the hem, the longer the socks can be.

Jane Birkin emerged in the swinging sixties as a model, actress and singer. There was not much this girl couldn't do.

Here is a little dose of fashion history for you....

.....one day she was on a flight from Paris to London. She pulled out her Hermes book and her papers went flying to the floor..... but who would have guessed the passenger next to her was the chairman of Hermes..... he heard her complain and voila they created the Birkin. With waiting lists all over the world it is still one of the most sought after bags.

Stella McCartney sure knows how to throw a summer party!

Not only did these models look great in her collection... they danced, lounged and even played chess.

I'm eyeing up the falabella bag sitting on the model to the left. It's been re-introduced and no doubt will be back to it's previous A-list status.

Riding into Studio 54 on a horse ring any bells? Bianca Jagger sure knew how to make an entrance. She was all plunging necklines and slinky Halston.

Topshop AW10 Preview

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 12:00:00 GMT

Here's a little preview of whats to come from Topshop for Autumn Winter 2010.

I'm loving those leather shorts which look buttery soft and would serve up well with a tucked in tank and a chunky necklace.

Jackets, jackets, jackets, I want every single one of them shown on the Burberry Prorsum runway!

It looks like the aviator jacket is set to become the new trench and don't even get me started on those shearling boots.

Speaking of short shorts, made me think of the Chloe collection way back in 2004. It was all seventies inspired denim, banana tops and light breezy shirts.

I wear short shorts

Sun, 23 May 2010 12:00:00 GMT

Or should I say, will be wearing short shorts. I just bought this pair from the new Kate Moss for Topshop collection. They remind of a few pieces I saw in Alexander Wang and Isabel Marant collections this season.

I also wanted that rockin' beige and black jumpsuit and the velvet black short but they all sold out before I could click my fingers on them!

Did you guys get anything?

Mon, 17 May 2010 12:00:00 GMT

This morning I was woken to the sound of a van pulling up, followed by a knock, knock, knock on my door. Don't you hate that! All I wanted was a few more minutes sleeping!

So I dragged myself out of bed and boy I'm glad I did!

Inside my parcel was this little black box! Finally it had arrived..... I'll show you soon what's in it......

Sunkissed skin, models in speed boats and a setting sun, it looked like a set from a glamourous seventies movie... it was the new Chanel Cruise collection, shown in the dazzling Saint Tropez.

They came...they wept*.....he conquered.

My favourite show from Aussie fashion week would have to be without a doubt... round of applause please... Mr Dion Lee. Some media have even gone as to far to say that he 'saved fashion week'.

The hair do in the first picture makes me think that some birds must of been flying overhead... well they say that it's lucky right? Although I have a feeling luck had nothing to do with this amazing show.

*apparently there were a few people in the front row so overwhelmed by the show that they shed a few tears

Got the blues

Sun, 09 May 2010 12:00:00 GMT

I'm feeling anything but the blues in my favourite navy blazer. It's a modern classic.... everyone should have one.

It was all sequins and fairydust at the Ellery show. Taking me back to my pre-school days... dates in the sandpit and monet inspired painting on my clothes.... and that sequin dress deserves it's own round of applause.. it puts the fun in fashion.

In the navy

Mon, 03 May 2010 12:00:00 GMT

Aye aye Captain! I look ready to sail the seven seas in my nautical inspired Karen Walker dress.

It's all about fine navy blue stripes and a whole lotta sailor attitude.

Dress - Karen Walker

Vanessa's cuffs

Mon, 03 May 2010 12:00:00 GMT

When I saw these wrist cuffs on the Vanessa Bruno runway, I just knew I had to have them!

So when they became available on net-a-porter I had credit card in hand ready to buy... when... pause for shock horror on face... they were all sold out!

If you find them anywhere else do let me know.

Aussie Fashion Week

WHAT I'M WEARING

Tue, 27 Apr 2010 12:00:00 GMT

This leather jacket could have me mistaken for one of the T-bones in Grease. It's tight badass leather at its best.

I softened it up with an icecream colour scarf and my white Balenciaga which has been used and abused and is well and truly beyond its used by date.

Leather jacket - Sass & Bide

Scarf - Willow

Singlet - Bassike

Is that a zebra print scarf poking through? Whatever it is, I want it!

The ink debate

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 12:00:00 GMT

*images via fashiongonerogue

To ink or not to ink?

In fear of it ending up looking like a shrivalled raisin as I get older... an my indecisive nature to decide on a picture.....I think I'll stick to Chanel's temporary ones for now.

Although this image of Aline does get me thinking...

Bootie Queen

*image via cobrasnake

This shot was taken backstage at the Preen show and these booties made me go a little ballistic when I saw them... they are just what I'm looking for!

Soft toe, lace up.....with just the right amount of heel..... oh yes pretty Preen.... these are eye candy to the shoe hungry.

The big drop

Sat, 24 Apr 2010 12:00:00 GMT

My ear lobes have been going through a bit of drought....nope not a drop of earring in sight for months...

That quickly changed after I was left googling over these feather drop earrings by Isabel Marant.

I 'm now ready to get back into the pierce of things.

Rip it up... denim styles that is. These Sass & Bides are my favourite jeans at the moment... they've been put through the wringer with bleach stronger than what your grandma used to use and shredded at the knees.

Me and my Raybans

Sun, 18 Apr 2010 12:00:00 GMT

If your anything like me, you go through sunglasses quicker than the weather changes and no not because you find a better style....but because you're notorious for losing them!

I put them down.... and then they disappear... but I'm sure I put them over there! Honestly... I did... someone must of moved them! I am then usually met with a pair of raised eyebrows from my lover... not the pair of kidnapped shades.

And don't even get me started on where my keys are....

It needs to be chic...

and it needs to look good with just about everything!
