Miley Cyrus is Bangerz-ing!

I LOOOOOVE Miley’s new look in W Mag. People think she looks like a scrag, stupid etc…I think she looks amazing, grown up and well, my only criticism? A bit like ke$ha…

But anyway!

She posted these shots on her instagram, and I reckon she’s finally turning that corner from ridiculous-try-hard to ridiculous-edgy. Loved her in the Marc Jacobs campagin (see below) and now I love this W mag shoot too!

WIN your way to a pair of Your Favourite Sunglasses!

Shopping for shades can be daunting. Shapes, colours, lenses…oh and what about which brand? 

I think I have uncovered one of the best sites for sunglasses shopping in Australia – Your Favourite Sunglasses.

This up-and-coming Aussie retailer have realised that the disparity of prices on the net for sunnies can be quite large, and sadly, what costs $400 in Oz can be found online in some random country for $150.

I hate it when that happens!

YFS take current styles and high-end brands and sell them in Australia for crazy discounts. But not dodgy discounts. Their prices are on par with what our friends in the Northern Hemisphere would pay on a daily basis. The best part about this site is that all items are dispatched from Sydney (You wait just ONE DAY for dispatch and can enjoy FREE express delivery!) and they have a 30 day returns policy – so you can make sure the shades are right for you and buy with confidence.

They often hold sale events that give customers discounts up to a whopping 75%, and navigating around the site is super-easy. You can browse by shape, brand or style.

These are my picks from the current range, click the caption to buy!

Black and white is right!

Today I decided to rock a Monochrome outfit, largest inspired by my faaancy Rue Cat Marc Jacobs Smoking Slippers/ Loafers.

I teamed an old fave – a while Sass & Bide silk tee with asymmetrical hem, (I buy these in every colour they make!!!) quilted pleather skirt from Forever 21 and of course, the MJ smoking slippers/loafers with super comfy quilted innersole.

How to pronounce Lanvin… and other international brands

You’re in love with a Bal-Mayne skirt and you have just bought a Rod-Art-Ee sweater – you also can’t work out why you get odd looks whenever you talk about your Give-En-Chee wallet…

Chances are, you’re getting it all wrong. And you’re not alone! Even the most fash-forward have a hard time grasping the correct inflection of a tricky surname or up-and-coming French designer.

I found this little gem, and it helped me make sense of a few names I have never attempted to say… I hope this helps!!!

Kate Moss for Alexander McQueen

They were great mates, but strangely enough Kate Moss never ever posed as the face of Alexander McQueen…until now.

I’m LOVING this new campaign. Mossy looks totes divine (kinda like Tilda Swinton!) and the attention to detail in the SS14 campaign is quintessential McQueen.

It’s a bit cool, a bit quirky and a whole lot dark. The mini-Moss dolls add an eerie, voodoo element to the shoot, which was said to be inspired by 1960’s British Thriller film, Peeping Tom.

What do you think of the new campaign? Is McQueen bang on the money? Kate Moss still got it?

Net-A-Bargain!

Net-A-Porter are having a serious sale, and you won’t wanna miss it.

Traditionally, I’ve always been turned off by the exxy nature of Net-A-Porter. The prices were always in pounds, which then converted to an astronomical Aussie dollar which mad me very sad by the end of my browsing experience.

However, I did a ‘haul’ online yesterday and raided their amazing sale!

I wanted to buy so so soooo much more, but reigned it in to include the essentials. (HA!)

Here are my top picks from the 80% off range – you can pick up some ridiculous bargains!

My fave part? All items I’ve chosen below are under $200. You can’t afford not to!

Pine Lime Love!

Oh no. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Or – the piece that broke my 12-day-strong abstinence from shopping!

I felt BORED! i wanted some FUN! So I popped along to Incu in my lunch break. The S A L E emblazoned on the window caused me to raise an eyebrow. Could this be enough to make me want to unzip my wallet?

It was! I found this simply diviiiiiiine ANTIPODIUM sweater on sale for HALF PRICE! I was a bit dubious of the armpit holes at first, (see below) but I love a good fash-challenge, so decided to try it on. 

Image

Lion attack on the armpits? Or Fash-forward funky?

The colour is so fresh, and the holes, well, they are tres cool! Apparently, the collection was inspired by the flick Riding in Cars With Boys… so 50’s and all about the sweater.

I’m so in love, theres even a hint of a fluro pink weave in the material. A great purchase, don’tcha think?

We’re all going on a summer holiday…

The sun is shining, the air is balmy and the last place you feel like being is at work!

Never fear, the Christmas holidays are just around the corner – and if you don’t have to work, chances are you have travel plans for the break.

Whether it’s two nights down the coast or an adventure to another hemisphere (ME ME ME!), you’ll be stuffing all of your worldy possessions into a bag. To get you thinking about your holiday wardrobe and perhaps provide some distraction from your day job check out my top 3 summer holiday essentials that are travel friendly and fashion forward.

1. The T-Shirt Dress

This bad boy will rollup in your suitcase like a dream, and is perfect to chuck on over a bikini this summer. Try to aim for one that is crinkle-proof…that way you won’t need to get the iron out. I love this dress from online store Showpo… I bought it in grey and have travelled in it before. Rock it with a hot pink lip and you’ll be the envy of all the beach babes – even if you aren’t one.

Riptide dress in White @ Showpo.com, $55

2. The Super-Cool Shades

You’ll be wearing these all day to visit shops, beaches and restaurants, so you will want a pair of funky sunnies to top off your look. I lusted after a Celine pair for ages – only to discover they were too big for my face. DAMN! Yes, great news that my head is small, bad news that i’ll have to go back to the drawing board to find another pair I love as much as my Marc by Marc Jacobs sunglasses that are tired, word and ready to retire. These KW frames are awesome…but they will probably fit your face and not mine! (sob)

3. The Summery Sandals

The perfect summer shoe hinges largely (for me, anyway) it’s wear-ability with my entire summer wardrobe. I just don’t think you can go past a tan, orange or turquoise shoe when planning what to pack for your beach getaway. A good-quality leather, flat sandal can take you from day to night, and will save some valuable space in your suitcase – no need for other shoes! I love these Indie sandals, so comfy and still, so stylish!

Are you ready for this jelly?

As summer approaches, the need for fun footwear is at the top of every gals list. I have long been a pioneer of the jelly shoe, and am delighted to see them come back onto the fash scene with such a vengeance this summer.

Specifically, i’ve loved the Vivienne Westwood by Melissa range. It’s been around for ages, and I have to say each new collection never disappoints. I have a pair of jelly heels and countless pairs of jelly flats… they are so comfy and smell amazing! When I ask people to smell my shoe it’s often met with disgusted and puzzled looks but those who do take me up on my seemingly strange offer are just so excited when they get a whiff of the bubblegum-scented plastic Melissa uses!

It’s ingenious!

But, steering away from my love of The Viv by Mel range, I’ve had a scout round for the best jelly shoes of the season. From luxe to less, these shoes will make you smile, and prepare your tootsies for the warmer weather ahead.

THE CLASSIC JELLY

You had these as a kid…so why not bring them back and rock them at the beach this weekend?

Heart & Soul

Burberry has always been known for it’s iconic check print.

Usually it’s met with divided responses – some think it’s an upmarket, beautifully Brit brand, others stand firm on it’s place in Chav society.

Whether you like it or not, open your mind and check out  the new heart print they’ve bought out this year….I for one, LOVE it.

I’m calling it now, and suggesting Heart Print is going to be a big trend in the months to come. When researching, I saw a lot of UK and international sites are stocking apparel with the print, but it hasn’t quite come over the seas just yet for us Aussie shoppers.
Never fear though, if you want to wear the print you can shop online for these items to get the look – without spending the big bucks on the Burbs.
