Esteban Cortazar

IN LOVE with Estaban Cortazars collection for NET A PORTER . He nailed the current trend of simple, clean cut and well tailored pieces that everyone (including me) seems to love at the moment. The blush/nude/white palette is so ethereal and soft which contrasts with the structured, clean lines.

My favourite are the shorts. I'm obsessed with the gold detailing!

I think walking into his showroom would be like walking into heaven.

Karl Lagerfeld explains... "It's for the beach" he says, "you need space for the beach towel, huh? And then you can put it into the sand and hang things on it." 

Wow, no kidding Karl.

Morning all,

I haven't had breakfast yet- but need to get my daily fashion fix before I head to uni.

Hello darlings

These are some of the beauties that recently joined the family- the family being my wardrobe.

Unless your on the hunt for granny jumpers- which by the way I love, I'm sure you know to NEVER take clothes from the elderly. My Nanna- being the exception, has a sense of style that would show up Lady Gaga. Not joking.

So I was SO excited when she gave me a bag of clothes she was willing to part with!

Darlings remember you can completely change the look of an item of clothing by styling it up- bag, belt, shoes, accessories.. anything! Change it up and you might change your mind!

Hand candy

Chipped nailpolish and my fave rings

Dazzles up any outfit!

The rings I mean...

Summer kind of wonderful

 

Hair genius... and smells like summer

Pulled these out of my wardrobe today.

It's the first day of August and needless to say, my Spring/Summer craving has begun.

Gloomy,melancholic weather is not always my cup of tea, especially Perth winters...

It's a habit of mine to pre-prepare my style for next season,

Expect hyper colour and a prints revolution...and prepare to clash!

I agree

Daily inspiration:

I roamed the streets of Claremont today. Walking past someone dressed impeccably or unusually makes me smile like nothing else. 

I've noticed the key to style is confidence. 

A person can wear something extraordinary or ridiculous, but if they are confident in it, it resonates.

I challenge all of you reading this to step out in something- whether it's an accessory or a piece of clothing you love but never dared to wear or didn't think you could pull off.

Remember the key is confidence.  

You may get some looks, but trust me people will be wishing they had the confidence to pull it off or be as daring as you!

I dare you all!

Dolled up; The Flapper Dress

Think the 1920's. Think Gatsby.

'The Great Gatsby' captured the heart of the 1920's.

The roaring 20's was all about long, shapeless dresses which dropped to the waistline and generally left the arms bare. The hemline is usually below the knees and generally skimmed the ankles.

Women abandoned the restraints of a corset and embraced the delicate silhouette gowns.

The recent Baz Luhrmann directed 'Gatsby' remake starring *my boyfriend* Leonardo Di-Caprio has sparked twenties inspired free-flowing, silhouette dresses stomping down the runway. 

Spring/Summer 2012 collections of Ralph Lauren, Etro, Gucci and Marchesa have been inspired by the look.

Gucci's lavish designs look as though they walked off the cover of 'The Great Gatsby.'

Blake Lively in this Spring 2012 Marchesa flapper dress. You'll either love it or hate it. I actually love it. It's so enchanting and captivating, though I probably wouldn't wear it myself.

I always admire people who make really strong choices and are so individual.  

That's literally a quote by her and I'm sticking to that too. 

I can see clearly now

Love Love Love

Look on the bright side

Spring/Summer 2012 Atelier Versace Haute Couture

STAND OUT with all things neon!

This is a big trend for Spring/Summer 2012,

Don't just add a splash of colour... add a splash of neon! 

It's best to stick with one standout item as it's easy to go overboard- we can agree not a good look...

That doesn't mean you cant incorporate other colours though! Experiment!

I'm loving this neon yellow skirt and neon orange shirt from sabo skirt

 

Gotta get me some of that this Spring!
