Summer Playsuit

I tend to dress very seriously in winter as I am a big fan of structured clothing and interesting shapes, but in summer you have no choice but to join the party so I am looking forward to giving things a quirky edge. In that vein I tried this Sretsis Playsuit a few months ago in a blue colour which was about $470 or so but decided against it.

 I have regretted not getting it since but by a stroke of luck I found this little romper from Forever New on a recent trip to Perth, I need to adjust the bustline but other than that I am really happy with it.

My Boyfriends words when I bought these sunnies "why exactly would you want to wear a butterfly on your face" to which I sighed heavily and walked away muttering you just don't get it.

Marina Diamondis

I have a serious thing for Marina and the Diamonds at the moment, not only is her album fantastic but she has a cute quirky style I love. I am sure it doesnt hurt that she is gorgeous either.

Here are a few of my fav looks

She also does great film clips so I attached one of my favourites....enjoy

Bloodorange Favourites

Bloodorange is by far my favourite boutique in Sydney, I love the relaxed styles they stock that still have interesting cuts.

Anywho here is a few pieces that I love at the moment.

From the upper left; Lover, Gary Bigeni (X2), Dress up, Lover and Dress up.

I ended up buying the Belted Dress up Dress, but unfortunately I have been burying my head in icecream lately and it's a little tight. I love the Dress up dress on the bottom RHS too but the fit doesnt seem work on me.

YSL Arty Ring and model spotting

Seeing I am totally bumming around in track pants and an oversize shirt I thought I would post a quick pic of my coral YSL Arty Ring I got recently. I had been on the waiting list since March but now I have it I am not so sure about it.

Anyway here it is.....the nail polish is Chanel Paradoxical

Aside from that had a bit of a model spotting day today, firstly I saw Tiah Eckhardt walking with her new baby in a pram, then I saw Samantha Harris looking very irritated with her boyfriend at Bondi Junction and finally I saw Charlotte Dawson down at Otto at Woolloomoloo while I was having lunch who looked surprisingly fresh without makeup in a man style shirt and jeans.

I would have taken some pics but as usual I forgot my camera, but oh well there is always next time!

More Inappropriate Shoes

I love shoes, I really do but I am horrendous at buying them. All my shoes are either black or camel so I either have way too many pairs to choose from for an outfit or absolutely none. On top of that I am forever buying shoes that are near impossible to walk in. Last week I added another inappropriate pair to my collection; these Alexander Mcqueens but I absolutely love them, the heel is carved and they are just beautifully made, plus I am a little sentimental about them as they are from his last collection.

BUT I cant seem to get them to work with any outfit.

The beautiful carved heel

This is the pic that Net-A-Porter had of them styled which I think looks quite nice but I dont really have any graphic dresses and I think the print + elaborate shoes = a bit much.

Any other suggestions of how to wear these babies?

Hiatus Shmiatus

I'm not really sure if people even check this page but wanted to give a quick update anyway.

I have been on an extended hiatus due to a tragedy in the family but I am back, returning to "normal" and ready to blog!

Also, the man bought a new camera so I plan on borrowing (ie. stealing) it to take better quality pics,no more dead dangly arms I promise and I have been indulging in way too much retail therapy so have plenty of new stuff to share.

Looking forward to being back in the blogosphere

Victoria Room

Saturday night ended up taking us to Victoria room which had the greatest decor (unfortunately I didn't get many pictures of the place of despite snapping away constantly). But here are the shots I did salvage

As usual my martini, the bartender was quite disgusted at my decision to have it dirty with nice gin.

We couldn't agree on aliases so lets just call them "the girls"
