Divinely dressed

Melbourne label, Dress Up has won my heart with the purple printed pattern.  Now the hardest part is choosing what to opt for - dress, shorts, shirt or the trousers?  If only I could have them all.

Totes perfection

'Nuf said really.  Thanks Proenza Schouler.

Swim season's here!

Not that the weather this weekend was any indication of it.  But the sun definitely was shining last week, I have the tan to prove it!

Time to start whipping those bikini bodies into shape, if you have the motivation and determination (I don't).  It probably also means I'll have trouble fitting in the above oh la la number by C&M Swim.  If only I could have Victoria Lee's bod, sigh. 

But these swimmers so smoking hot, I may just push myself to cut back on the chocolate. Maybe, I'm not making any promises.

Stomp stomp stomp

Clompity clomp clomp. Stompity stomp stomp.  These Alexander Wang Claudia cut-out ankle boots are now on sale.  The little details have won me over - nails on the side and the chunky heel.  Let's not forget, the contrast leathers which make these booties look super fierce.

Unfortunately, my snow cold European adventure requires closed toe boots, otherwise I would have clicked 'add to cart' long ago.

Miu Miu sparklers

These lovely sparkly things sit in the window of Miu Miu's Westfield Sydney store. Completely gorgeous, flashy and bootiful but where would one actually where them?

Sare Bear and I stood on the escalators taking us away the opened-toe wonders and dreamt of one day wearing them ourselves. But where would one actually wear these? We came up with a handful of places including premieres; fashion shows, launches and parties; balls and charity events. Nowhere, the average Joe, even the fashion loving average Joes like us would ever be spotted. 

Regardless, we still long for them.  Cost per wear?  Like that would matter if they were actually ours!

How late is 'too late'?

It's a 90s revival. Back in 2010, it was the year of the flanny. Last year, a trend emerged and we saw an abundance of young ladies who dared to bare their midriffs.  It's only now that I've come to realise these were just sneak peeks and there was plenty more to come.  

Grunge is becoming mainstream and Kurt Cobain is probably turning in his grave. Ripped jeans, double denim and candy coloured hair is now being sported by the likes of Kate Bosworth and Sienna Miller.

Which makes me think when is it too late to do something you've wanted to do for a while? Back in April, I wanted to dip-dye my hair blue, last month I toyed with the idea of dyeing it pink, last night I thought perhaps I'd settle with a subtle balayage and tonight, I'm back to thinking a nice powder blue. 

Is it too late to make a strong style statement like this one now?  Would it still be deemed as assertion of individuality or would it been seen as jumping on the bandwagon?  You tell me.

Spring fling

Sydney weather is so temperamental but that's Spring for you.  From the weekend's glorious sun to yesterday's howling wind, to tonight's rain, it's so unpredictable you would think you were in London. 

The changing seasons can most certainly take toll on your skin but there is no reason why those allergies should keep you in hiding. Pucker up with a bright orange hue, dab on some peachy cream blush or work the smoky eye, they all work fabulously as instant pick me ups.

Hello Panda!

These Jeremy Scott x adidas sneakers are amazing.  I can guarantee they will make you laugh if you're having a crap day.

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, fancy a crisp green apple?

I sure do.
