Blueberry.


I have been living in my lace up boots, i am so glad i bought them.
I am really looking forward to getting a pair of Doc Martens in Lonon, how good would the union jack ones look with this outfit!?

If you follow me on twitter you may have read about these shorts! I am obsessed with them and they match perfectly with my babydoll top.

Today was a sunny and warm, perfect autumn day.

Target blazer, Agent ninetynine shorts, Frances smily babydoll, Vintage earrings, Samantha wills ring.

Style watch, Olivia Palermo.


Olivia has flawless style and is always so polished!

Everything she wears looks designer (probaby is) and perfect!

It reminds me of Sex and the city style, very New York!

Even though i doubt these outfits would suit my short stature, i always look at her with admiration!

Green with envy.




Sundays are my favourite day of the week, especially when they are sunny!

Today Dave and i went to watch my mum model dresses for a wedding expo! She looked really lovely as the mother of the bride.

We then went to Yarraville and went vintage shopping, strolled the streets and got a pizza and sat in the sun watching the trains go by...

Wearing this kermit green top as my blog has definately lacked colour lately.

Vintage top and earrings, Sportsgirl sunnies and clutch (few years old) Tony Bianco wedges, Mix of Samantha Wills, Sue Sensi, Ettika, Jules Smith, San Cerre and One of a kind jewellery.

I tweet mostly related to my blog and fashion!
And post a link when i have a new post up.


Style watch, Erin Wasson.








I got asked on my formspring to do some celebrity hot or not reviews!
I decided only to post celebrities that i admire, because if there is someone whos style i dont like, who am i to say its not hot?

Erin Wasson is such a dreamboat, I love everything about her.

I put a mix of her streetwear and red carpet events as they are very different but equally HOT!

I love the hippie look she has going on, the american indian inspired outfits and the way she styles herself for red carpets is jaw dropping. The long black blazer with leather pants blew me away.

I am also very in love with her jewellery line Low Luv
Just as Erin Wasson x RVCA’s January 2010 collection was inspired by Wasson’s imagined walkabout through the Southwestern desert, the pieces from her debut LowLuv costume collection seem like artifacts of that trip. Metalwork conjures traditional Mexican handicraft; etched symbols suggest ancient Native American glyphs; bold statement necklaces feel timelessly tribal. Per usual, however, Wasson’s distinctively streetwise style speaks through each piece, putting a modern spin on her ages-old inspiration.

Enjoy and be inspired by this quirky model as i am.

Oscars.



These are my favourite dresses.

Q&A's

These are some questions i have been asked on my formspring!


What is next on your "must buy" list?

I really would love to buy the Winter Kate jackets.



(Can you tell im obsessed? I'm ditching heels for winter.)

Everything from the Frances Smily website!


A collection of the Stylesstalker black dresses!


Any advice for other bloggers out there?


Be passionate and enjoy it!

I treat it as a hobby, it doesnt rule my life.

But i love doing it! And when i get good shots and comments i get so excited!

It takes a while for people to noticee, but they will... Just keep doing your best!

Are there any pieces from the Winter Kate collection that you will be buying?


I would love to but I can't afford any of it at the moment!

I have the ginger cardi!
My Winter Kate wishlist is:
The Opy (purple&green) Eden & Jasmine jackets!

Oscars best dressed


Diane Kruger and Zoe Saldana, amazing!

What are you planning to take overseas if you update your blog there ?


Alot of black and clothes I can layer! As it will be cold at first and then warm!
Alot of Frances Smily!

Minimal jewels as i'm guessing I will buy alot there!

i was looking at the san cerre site you mentioned what is your favourite charm.


Id have to say the St Anthony.
(Because i always lose things and pray, St Anthony please look around something is lost and has to be found!)
But if there is a certain colour i like i buy for the colour not the charm!
You can choose your charms if you buy online.

Your key pieces for A/W 2010?


Flat over the knee boots.

Black leather gloves.

Orange and nude/blush colours with black.

Doc martens.

Leather.

Stylestalkers LBD's.

Lingerie bed jackets.
This is what I'll be wearing but everyones style is different!

I work in a corporate environment so can't really go to crazy with the clothes/jewels during the day. Any ideas on how I can work some "fashion" into my outfits?


So many things you could do!
Firstly check out http://www.sancerre.com.au/home/index.htm their jewels are great for layering and you can get softer colours. The charms are great my favourite is St Anthony because I always lose things!
Another way would be to jazz your hair up Mimco have some beautiful hair clips/combs that are so elegant and classy for work!
Frances Smily lingerie do great cami's and jackets that you can layer under a cardigan or under a suit!
Invest in some printed stocking eg: black floral, fishnet (flesh fishnets are so flattering and make you look tanned)
I could go on for ages but one last thing. A nice dress watch.
If you want more ideas just ask!

Where do you get your fashion inspiration from? - Mx


EVERYWHERE!!
Magazines, friends, models, people on the street, celebrities.
