Slideshow: The Week in Style Blogs -- The Cut -- my faves

Slideshow: The Week in Style Blogs -- The Cut

Happy Friday indeed!  Although it is Saturday here, even better!!  

I love tailored jackets!  What better way to showcase the fab tailoring of the one in this slideshow then in gorgeous navy and white piping.   Paired with slick pants so that it stays the focus.  I heart it!

The other image I picked as a fave from the slideshow is these two girls.  No I don't know who they are either, but they remind me of my bestie and how we love to colour clash FREQUENTLY.  I can't decide if she'd wear the pants or if I would.  I do have a pair of red trousers like that though, incidentally.

What does everyone else read on Saturday mornings over their coffee?

What's new?

(courtesy Celine)

Well, not these Celine shoppers.
These babies have been circling everyone's must-have lists for YONKS.
There's nothing like feeling, well, cross with someone, to trigger that little synapse in the brain to go from 'Oh, wouldn't it be lovely' to 'buy buy buy' like some frantic stock broker signalling away on the exchange floor.
(It's dividend time so I've got stocks on the brain again, hence weird reference. Let's all pretend my metaphors make complete sense at all other times.)
The main hurdle I've had is, ok well, the main hurdleS I have had are the following:
1. HARD TO FIND in Sydney
2. If found, they are stupidly expensive. No the exchange rate/inflation/tax does not explain the price hike
3. If found, it is with a 'sold' tag attached to it firmly
and, the biggest obstacle of all
4. I can't make up my mind what colour I want.  NO 'all of them' is not an option, at this time.

So tell me, if you could have ANY colour, which would you choose?

You have all weekend, thank gosh it's Friday! x

Nearly nearly

Do you know what this means?!  I finally have Marni (for H&M) print in my wardrobe.  

To be exact, I will, soon.  

This baby is currently hanging in my pal's office waiting for me to fly over next month to pick it up.  She is such an angel and said it's a bribe present from her to get me to go over there.  

*heart melts* 

I can't even describe how excited I am!  About seeing my pal AND my welcome pressie!

I'll probably pick something up whilst I'm there to wear with it... in the meantime, I think it would go great with a contrasting print, or maybe played down with some denim shorts, or some tailored white peg trousers... 

The possibilities are endless! 

Hope you had as great an evening as I did x

piggy bank

do you ever collect magazines obsessively, saving them up for reading them altogether for a marathon magazine session?
if i were a squirrel and these babies were nuts, i would be all set for winter.
i only just tore the plastic off my vogue today.. will probably spend the bext week cross referencing it to my bazaar and elle.. who knows how long i will then mull over all my online sources!
yippee!
dont diss it till you try it!
have a great week everyone, x

Wish upon a falling star - the ultimate printopia

(images:  Marni for H&M lookbook) 

I remember growing up with an unhealthy obsession with vogue magazine.  Now I realised it's normal (hence the subscription).  I always lingered longest over images of models draped in Marni.  Those gorgeous colours and luscious materials looked exactly what a woman-child would wear.  So girl next door but also style ingenue.
A dream of mine would be to have Marni in my wardrobe.  Right now, that's still a dream, as it is with most people.  But this week the collaboration between Marni and H&M came into existence.
One step closer?  Maybe.
This is what I had on my wishlist, what do you think?  Classic Marni?

Printopia II

  

 

(I've been having way too much fun on pixlr-o-matic!  Shirt: asos; jeans: A/wear; boots: asos; bracelet: Anouska London)


I've only just fallen in love with and started gathering printed shirts for my off duty wardrobe this year.
Remember my new shirt from ASOS that I got a few posts ago??
I finally got to wear it out!  I like making sure that the first time I wear a new item that I'm super excited about that it's on a good outing day.
I also had on for the first time a brand new charm bracelet from Anouska London.  The charm is a little gold elephant.  LOVE IT!
For most of the day I had the shirt tucked in to a pair of dark skinny jeans which were tucked into my new but scuffed like crazy boots.
I think I did most of the scuffing, I love them so much, I've been wearing them every weekend.  With everything.  At one point I had on my romper, but hadn't yet taken the boots off.  Because I wasn't ready to say auf weidersehen for the day.

Black is the new pink

(Source: s05.imageupper.com)

I wanted to post something rainbow, or at least hot pink and glittery, in the spirit of Mardi Gras (Happy Mardi Gras everyone!) but..... you know what?  I do so love my head to toe black from time to time.  

And M Kerr is demonstrating reason number 1 why that is, over here in Exhibit A. 

How fantastic is the cut of those pants?  Wait, is that a jumpsuit actually?  Strictly speaking, I don't like jumpsuits, but loosely speaking, I love them if they look like this. 

IF this is a jumpsuit here.  Either way I'm liking what I'm seeing.

What's better than head to toe black?  The black on black look.  Paired with that generous but tailored blazer, there's nothing left to do but stand back and applaud.  Just like with cars, black on black is a sleek look.  And it looks easier than it really is.  

Reason number 2 for why I love the head to toe black?  Look how brilliantly all that Louis Vuitton Damier Monogram goes with it.  It's awful when a person clashes with their luggage.
