finger candy

Credit- Olsens Anonymous

Mary-Kate Olsen's ring collection never ceases to amaze me. I'm always find myself squinting at photos of her trying to get a slightly better look at her finger candy.

So I thought I'd a post little chunk of my ring collection. My newest/favourite ones live in this box that my Nana, bless her soul, gave me and the others get dumped in the my other zillion accessories.

black lace & soggy grass

Op Shop, Vogue Australia, Hot Chocolate, Matching Scarves, Black Lace, Ellen, Nachos, Vintage Rosary Beads and Travel Craving. That was what today was about. In actual fact I did a whole lot of nothing and a little bit of somethings. I have tuesday and wednesday off from everything this week. Like a little island of freedom in a sea of weekdays.

Usually at the start of winter I try to ignore the fact that the coldness is creeping up, and dress like I do in summer only adding a jacket, stockings or a scarf etc (which is probably why I have the sniffles big time today) so when the rain stopped, the sun came out and the mercury rose enough for me to banish the prospect of winter from my mind for a day I was rather happy (even though the sun was shining it didn't help the rain-soaked grass into which my heels were squishing- see image 2).

I wore my favourite tsubi shorts, vintage givenchy blouse, vintage chanel bag, vintage silver crucifix , sportsgirl studded enamel and pandora bracelets and new steve madden platform slingbacks. Very similar cheaper ones can be found here.




And I am very excited about this Kayser lace bustier corset i bought today. I got it from a store probably equivalent to America's Wal Mart, so it didn't exactly break the bank, but i am very excited to play around with it. I also found some amazing vintage rosary beads and a lace tee with shoulder pads.

fashion fix

Anna Molinari Fall 08







Proenza Schouler Pre Fall 2009






Ann Demeulemeester Spring 09


A couple of my many many beloved & lusted after collections from 08 and 09. I want it all.
I think the Ann Demeulemeester is just great and so wearable. Oh and i know the Anna Molinari collection is rather old but I think it's flawless & I re-fell in love (not that I ever stopped) with the intricate little nude-hued dresses when i came across the photos again. To me, it blends design qualities seen in showstopping editorial couture into fun wearable designs.

closet fillers

OK so being on university holidays isn't so good for my shopping addiction I have found. Yesterday I was bored so I went for a stroll around the mall. I ended up embarking on a mini shopping binge. I got...



Studded cuff- Diva. Black pendant and black bead necklaces- Tempt. Silver necklace and bracelet- vintage.


Silk dress- Lily (This dress is so much better in real life, I can totally imagine Ashley Olsen wearing a floor length version to a red carpet event)


Suede ankle boots- Barkins



Lace detailed basic black dress- Barkins



White coat- Valleygirl (This coat looks slightly lab coat-esque because of it's bright white colour but I just loved the adorable short bell sleeves and buttons. And it's made of the thinnest fabric ever and would offer no warmth whatsoever, but hey, it's cute)



Cardigan- Cotton On. (I still don't know why i bought this, I think cause it reminded me of something Ralph Lauren would make intended for some kind of sailing or polo excursion... It just attracted me)

matchy matchy

Okay so I'm reading Famous, a weekly Australian celebrity gossip magazine (you know the type), when i saw two photos of Paris Hilton, in two separate sections of the magazine, where she was dressed in entirely in one colour. The magazine then went on to state that she is a style icon and a very fashion forward 'celebutante'.

Don't get me wrong, this is only a personal opinion, but i believe Paris puts together boring and safe outfits and cares more about if everything matches and is the perfect colour than a sense of style. I do not believe that just because someone is famous and in the spotlight and happens to be photographed in many outfits that they are fashion forward or a style icon. I know alot of people (including lil old me) that, they given access to that kind of wealth and style resources, could do wonderful things with fashion.

Most of us would wear fushia platforms or a cobalt blue clutch to give some 'pop' to an outfit not drape our whole bodies in that colour. Not to impune Paris' style but I am definitely not a fan of the matchy matchy bland outfits she is so often seen in. And I am not putting her down in any way I just do not personally believe she is a style icon.
I don't want this to be misinterpreted, this is just my opinion. So give me yours and let me know what you think on the issue...

sass it up

Wants and needs from sass and bide's The New Grace collection for A/W 09. Pieces are from sass & bide and S&B vie lines.

The frilled black bodysuit and the cut out embellished dress are most definitely necessities.

the weekend that was

Super super busy/amazing weekend.
Spent Thursday and Friday organizing/decorating/making slideshows and music playlists for my 21st partay on Friday night. Which was, I must say, the best night ever. Everything was perfect. Best people, great venue, amazing cake and a little too much champagne.

This is me on Thursday, running around town, testing dvds and ipods among many things. Oh and aren't the tan loafers just the cutest things ever? And so comfortable.

Military Blazer- vintage. Tee- Crossroads. Jeans- Sportsgirl. Loafers- Rubi.

(And i don't know why the date is wrong, says posted on Thurs June 11th, pretty sure today is Sunday June 14th Hmmm)
