Noir et Blanc

Wearing: Topshop Black Tee/ Bonds Chunky Knit/ Helloparry Moment Wrap Skirt/ Wittner Bayard Heels/ Karen Walker 'Helter Skelter' Sunglasses




Yes, you are seeing me in another black and white ensemble....I cannot get enough, which I guess is not a bad thing as its so in season right now.
This was a rare sunny Melbourne day so I took the opportunity to get the pins out and shoot this amazing skirt from Hello Parry. Im not sure that any future posts going forward will have my legs out, its getting ridiculously cold here. I might be slightly exaggerating but I swear its the coldest its ever been!

Also have you noticed i'm not wearing my trusty Ray Ban Aviators! Yay, I have finally found something different in These Karen Walker beauties, very proud of myself   :)

September Schofield of Davis, California

September bought her wedding dress online, but when she looked at her dress close she realized the dress was not made right and all the seams were coming apart.
I took the whole dress apart carefully and put it together correctly.

Busting out the Black and White

A simple colour palette goes so far in any ones wardrobe, and when I mean simple I mean blacks, whites, greys, denim etc. Its safe to say that any one of these colours/fabrics will go with just about anything you already have. Melbourne is definitely a mix of greys, whites and so much black, that in winter it is quite interesting to see how we coordinate our fashion wardrobes with each new winter season. Another talent that we have is layering, I don't think any other state in Oz knows how to layer as well as we do, hiding multiple layers and making it look more chic than snowman-like 
I have got to say I am loving the bustier over tees and long sleeved tops, the kind of  "Ive tried to look casual, but im definitely put together" look.
Anyway its something to think about and give it a go, experimenting :)

ASOS State Of Fashion

Wearing: Witchery Knit/ ASOS Leather Skirt/ 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Bag /Ray Ban Aviators /Wittner Bayard Heels

Winter in Melbourne! It’s got to be my least favorite time of the year but it does have its plus sides to it. Melbourne is cold during winter, there is no way around it, whether  your outside or inside its cold and it feels like you are never, ever going to see a warm sunny day….ever! (lol slight exaggeration)

There are plus sides that I can see to a Melbourne winter and that is definitely winter fashion. If you asked me to sum up what Melbourne fashion is all about in winter, I would have to say lots of black, leather, and layering is the key. ASOS have put together a great event called ‘State of Fashion’ and as one of its bloggers, the above look is my take on Melbourne winter fashion. ASOS now want you to take part in this style challenge and style yourself in your winter look and represent your state, the lucky winner will receive a $1000 dollar ASOS wardrobe and ultimate ‘state cred’ as the best dressed .

I know my fellow Melbournians’ know that we truly are the style capital of Australia and I am hoping one of us takes the crown!

                                                                           Goodluck  ;)

Acid & All That

 

Zara Baroque Jumper/ Junk Clothing Denim Dress/ Topshop Wedge Hi Tops/ Ray Ban Aviators

Hi there, remember me..... life has been hectic and I havent posted anything lately.....so I have got to say a BIG sorry :(  I will be posting more often now and I have a few shoots coming up which I cant wait for you to see and get inspired.

Demin is one of those staple items that can be worn in any season and at any time and at the moment 90's grunge is having a massive revival. This Junk Clothing acid wash denim dress is a perfect fit for this 90's grunge vibe, I literally have thrown on a black knit and some hi tops and have got my 90's look. 

You can wear this dress with anything, next I will style it with a pair of opaque black stockings, my Dc Marten boots and an oversize chunky black cardigan. Lookout for the pics up soon on the blog.

Jen's dress was simple, but elegant. I didn't need to add anything to the dress. The bride was beautiful too.
