R.I.P Corrine Day...

...I was so sad to hear of the passing of the great Corrine Day. Her photography was aways something you stopped and really looked at, instead of quickly flicking through it.

Starting To See A Picture...

(I saved this pic a long time ago so if anyone knows where it's from, let me know!)

...I had a great conversation about style and aesthetic and the idea of finding what your true aesthetic is.  After going through my look book I can see that collecting these images really does help narrow down your focus and get a better understanding of what you like.  So with that, this bedroom scene is a space that I find really calming and pleasant and something that I would happily live in.

...I am in totally in love with this new collection by Kate Sylvester. Seriously I want practically all of the pieces in my wardrobe. Edie and I often chat about fashion and I find it hard to describe my style.  Well folks, here it is. Now all I have to do is start dressing this way!

Have A Fab Week My Lovelies...

A special shout out to A & T this week. I was in a fragile place this morning and your company really made the difference. I'm so glad you guys are in my life.  Much Love xo

The Impossible Dream...

(via Red Carpet Fashion Awards)

...some of you may have guessed I'm having a 'battle of the bulge' as some current affairs shows like to call it. But in truth I think I'm having a battle of my mind instead. I don't know if it's necessarily healthy for me to be looking at stuff like this but what the hell, one can dream, right?  How amazing are Whitney Port's legs.

Wedding Movie...

...how much does this look like a still from a movie? Maybe a rom-com where the bride has run away to be with the man she loves, the guy heading towards her, and then they live happily ever after.

...Are you feeling the love as much as I am?  Simple, cute, cheap and original.

Have A Fab Week My Lovelies...

Have you ever had the situation where you are restless but not sure why or what you can do to get you out of your 'funk', then all of a sudden you read something that becomes your light globe moment?


This has happened to me a few times in my life, and it's happened again when I read this post on The Goodie Life.  So this week I'll be working on setting some goals for myself. I'm not too sure where this will end up taking me, but I'm sure it will be interesting ride...

A Valentino Moment

 

(Image via BlackLOG)

Today is the day. Today is Valentino day.

You can imagine my disappointment quite a few months ago, upon discovering that Valentino's retrospective was A.) not coming to the fashion capital that is my home, Melbourne and B.) was exclusive to the GoMA in Brisbane (?) No disrespect BrisVegas peeps, but Melbourne is the centre of the world, how did this even happen!

Having said this, you can now go ahead and imagine my delight, when a family wedding was scheduled for this exact weekend, leaving me some Saturday leisure time that could only be spent with an abundance of iconic, amazing, genius, inspiring couture.

I. Am. Going. To. Valentino.

if I go a little mad OR get arrested for trying to touch the clothes, don't judge, it's not my fault. This is one of those moments in life where you cannot be held accountable for your actions.

Of course, apologies in advance to my loving, supportive parents who will be coming with me because I asked them to and because Dad's a cultural connoisseur...or something like that (his words).

I'm quite sure that this is how some people feel when they see the Mona Lisa or Picasso's work....Valentino's genius up close and in personal - I need a new word for excited.

These Shoes in My Size Please

(Image via Net-A-Porter)

I know that by all accounts it might appear as if I'm one of those girls who wears high heels all the time, but truth be told, I'm not. Don't get me wrong, I wear them every day to work and religiously when I go out at night. But I guess at the very bottom of my glamour gene there's a little bit of practical in me, because I certainly do love me an amazing pair of flats.

Case in point, these extremely adorable Lanvin ballerina flats. They're chic and girly - perfect for someone who wants the comfort of casual, but not the daggy of runners.

Oh, and it goes without saying that the Swarovski crystal encrusted bow is my favourite part....so it appears I'm not only practical, but predictable too.

A Tulle Invasion

I'm loving these images from Vera Wang's Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Campaign. I mean it's literally like a tulle invasion, I would kill to wear every single one of these dresses. 

It's a really big call, but I'm beginning to think that Vera Wang is the King of my tulle kingdom.

Once Agin, So Simple, So Stunning...

(Photos by Jessica Peterson via Snippet and Ink)

..I am consistently drawn to wedding dresses that are simple, and yet are not afraid to stand out as unique amongst the sea of strapless wedding dresses.  This one was even made by the brides's mother. Now that is talent.

PS. What do you think of the larger photos? Yeah or Nay?

I Love Clever Ideas...

(via Dwell)

...when I saw this kitchen/bar/drinks trolley made to fit under the stairs and be wheeled out whenever needed, I was so impressed by the idea.  This is good design at its best.

I Want This...

...what an amazing bouquet. I love that its a little wild and yet still so elegant.

Too Cute...

Looking Forward...

This past week has left me wanting to take a big ol' glamorous nap.

Moving On...

I'm loving the movement in this editorial from Vogue Germany. 

Constance Jablonski looks beyond beautiful and the couture is to. die. 

Photographer Greg Kadel has done an amazing job.

What did I tell you last week? Crazy on boots. They're literally all I can see right now.

Utterly Predictable....

...but I wouldn't be myself if I didn't post on the amazingness of Kate Moss' latest editorial for UK Vogue, shot by Patrick Demarchelier.

Continuing on with my latest obsession for entertaining my inner rockstar, I'm stupidly in love with the styling for this shoot, but more specifically the brocade pants and velvet jacket in the picture above, they are E V E R Y T H I N G.

Can't Breathe...

...this photo is breathtaking. Beautiful.

Add these clothes and this styling to my imaginary, edgier wardrobe - Crazy lust.

And also, whilst we're in the land of imaginary, Raquel's body would be a wonderful addition as well. And the tan....oh, and maybe the hair.... That is all.

This Is A Surprise...

...I never would have picked that this is Rachel Zoe. She locks amazing in this photo and I love the cinematic quality of it.

A Little Secret...

(via Love Life Ran)

...I want to be a hair model.  There I said it.  Like most people I have a fair few body issues going on, but one thing I have always loved is my hair.   But I am super lazy so I spend zero time on it.  If I had someone else doing my hair, well then watch out hair world....

I Couldn't Resist...

...Edie I see tulle everywhere now. You've created a monster!

...coming back to work after two days off sick, a bit daunting to think of the workload but I'll try to remember this sign.  What do you do to get through a busy week?

Hope you all have a great week. Much Love xo
