COLLARED VELVET

From left to right

1. Sister Jane Galactic dress

2. Asos cropped fitted top with collar

3. Asos cat boyfriend beanie

4. Dino velvet flatform sneakers

I decided to reward myself with another online shop, I don't actually know what I was rewarding myself for? maybe going back to uni? Either way adding another couple of collared items to my wardrobe cheered me up, as frivilous as that sounds. I also ordered a classic pair of creepers so that I can bounce around the uni campus feeling tall and creepy.

Following on from that I'm really enjoying my new media design course at uni and I can't wait to get into typography and logo designing!

MONDAY BLUES

 























Left: Topshop Lookbook 2012

Right: Elle France July 2012

I may have just found the boots and collared shirt of my dreams, I can picture wearing them both looking perfect together with a tight pair of black Cheap Monday jeans, ahhhhhh. I can imagine that I won't do shirt any justice because I do not take care of my clothes and it looks extremely fragile but none the less I would wear it until it's very end. I have been contemplating the Topshop boots for a while now however I keep saying no because of my spending addiction and more importantly the fact that I am NO GOOD in heels, despite these boots looking comfortable and easy to walk in. 

Anyway, for now I think both will stay in my wishlist along with many, many other items. Unfortunately even I cannot justify spending over $400 on two items, but I'm adamant I will them both one day.  

Please excuse any spelling mistakes or grammar errors, I am in a constant rush now that uni is back. 

WISHLIST

1. Cosabella Bra

2. Acne Pistol Boots

3. Asos Satchel

TOAST

 Oyster mag and new winter boots

I have been so busy the last few weeks that I don't know what to do with myself now that I have free time. I still have one exam to do at uni but then I'm finished for the semester and holidays are going to be perfect!

 I'm currently stuffing my face with peanut butter on toast so now is probably a good time to tell you all that I had a really successful interview with a modeling agency this morning and I am now signed, hoorah. I'm also eagarely awaiting photographs from the weekends shoot for La Lune with Brisbane photographer Ingela Furustig! It was set in a pastel pink house and I came home covered in glitter, which has to be a good sign!

I'm going to get back to my new issue of Oyster nau (which by the way is perfect and GIRLS ONLY), bye bye.

BLACK N WHITE

Outfit no.1:

Bardot white torn tee

Myer black velvet bow

No brand jeans (they have been in my closet for almost five years and I have no idea where I bought them, sorry) 

Vintage blouse

This post carries on from my post on black basics from yesterday. The outfit above is for this evening and will be accompanied by a pair of Bass black loafers. I'm not normally one to go with basic black and white but I've been feeling experimental lately and my obsession for minimalism seems to be wearing off and into my style.

The second image is of my favourite white collared blouse, I am completely in love with it and I'm torn between the white frayed tee and the blouse for this evening. If anyone wants to give me a suggestion as to which shirt to wear, (Instagrammers that means you) then by all means go ahead!

HOORAH!

Today I received a Canon slr camera and I honestly couldn't be happier. It arrived just in time for uni holidays, which fits in perfectly with my plan of shooting and blogging all holidays! I'm a complete novice when it comes to photography but I am prepared to put in all the hard work to become professional and skilled. Bring on my photography subject next semester and all the fun shoots for my new collaboration fashion blog with Catherine Rolley! Keep your eyes peeled for new photographs of daily outfits and details.

The two photographs above sum up what my day consisted of, plus studying for exams and finally getting a hair cut.

NEED

My wish list is creeping up on me because I can't seem to afford to tick anything off while trying to save for Melbourne. The two items above are on the top of wish/need list at the moment, a Boy London tee and platform oxfords to match. Ah baby I need them.

NEXT GEN

I worked as a model in a hair show called Next Gen last night and it was so good! The aim was to resemble the red carpet hence the curls and the beautiful dress from La Lune. More photos to come!

FLORAL

I've had the flu since Thursday and it's turned out to be really helpful. I've gotten heaps of uni work done and I even made this little flower headband. It cost me a lot more to make than I originally thought it would but I'm really pleased with the result!

1000!

 

My blog just reached 1000 page views so I thought I would make a little celebratory post before I pop off to my last uni lecture for the semester! Once again I'm just sharing my love for collared beauties with you all! Ciao!

STOLEN

I stubbled across Stolen on a miserable Monday morning and it brightened up my day so so much! STOLEN was founded in 2005 by Elyn Wong and although it is not yet popular, it is surely one to watch. Anyone who knows me or follows me on Tumblr or Instagram will know that I am fond of minimalism and Stolen definitely has a strong sense of simplicity whether in cut, silhouette or colours. The photographs above are from the labels Lookbook and are perfect as you can see.


Elyn is hoping to push the label to Australia asap and is working on promoting the label in fashion events so keep your eyes pealed!

BURBERRY

I sometimes think to myself that I should drop out of uni and get a monotonous full time job so that I can afford every single piece of designer clothing that is released. Unfortunately my goals, dreams and mother would never allow me to do this. For now I'm reduced to drooling over beautiful shoes like the ones pictures above until I finish my degree and earn some decent money. Waaaaah!

Shoes: Burberry Fall/Winter 11/12

OH BABY

Asos Half Frame Cat Eye Sunglasses

Just purchased these babies, so excited for them to arrive! 

CELINE

Celine designer Phoebe Philo keeps on presenting stunning collection after stunning collection and it's blowing my mind. I've been completely and utterly in luv with the label ever since I laid eyes upon the wood grain print shirt by Celine in the winter 2011 collection. Okay maybe I'm a little obsessed but who wouldn't be?

ACNE

It's just soooooooo good.

GREASE

I promised myself I wouldn't allow selfies on my blog but I've made an exception this time because I want to show off my new lippy. I've been contemplating buying a dark purple lipstick for a few months now but I thought it would look strange and really punk, it sort of does but I luv it.

I wore this outfit to Grease the musical tonight, it was a lovely night out and I actually got complimented on my appearance which was nice. I have many exciting events coming up in the next few months, one of which is a hair show and I'm so excited to be involved in it! Yey yey yipee!

I need to sleep and stop rambling now, I will post a decent blog post tomorrow! Keep your eyes peeled xo

MAUDE

'Bad Maude'

Maud Welzen in Zoo S/S 2012 by Greta Ilieva

Her poses are kind of awkward but there's something about it that makes me want to see more. I think it's the styling by Jack Borkett, with perfect collared shirts and over the knee socks that emphasis her never ending legs. I can't wait to see more of her.

GIVENCHY

Givenchy Spring/Summer 2012

I know I'm a bit late but everything about this collection is absolutely perfect! I need to get my hands on a tee asap. I should be doing maths assignments not blogging, argh.

THE ROOM

The Room 15 

The Room website 

The Room is a book/magazine that comprises of high fashion editorial shoots, I only stumbled upon it a few weeks ago but so far I am loving everything that it has to offer. It has a strong visual identity and The Room 15 edition is amazing! Good imagination definitely makes good work! 

The Room 14 is also perfect! The images featured below are just two of the four images in the edition by photographer Charlie Engman. I am in luv.

BACK TO BASICS

I have somehow managed to make a great winter wardrobe for myself but I lack in basics. I always seem to do this because I fall in love with prints and floral fabrics, which results in a limited amount of outfits. I need the following essentials:

1. American Apparel silky collar tee (featured above)

2. Black pair of ankle boots 

3. American Apparel cable knit pullover

4. Quality leather strap watch

5. Black skinny legged jeans

PLAITS \ BRAIDS

Left: Under/current #5

Right: Natt & Dag May 2012

Braided and plaited hair is beautiful and timeless. The style wone my heart at age when I wore my hair in plaits every day for 365 days. I still until this day plait my hair most nights before going to bed, braids and plaits will forever be in my heart.

After watching videos and scrolling through hundreds of images of the WBFWA 2012, it was nice to see braided hair featured by designers such as Alice McCall. Long live braids and plaits!

CHUNG ALEXA

 

Alexa Chung for Yen #56

Such a pretty face and her interview was fantastic.

COLLARED

 

I adore clean white collared shirts so much that my fascination has grown into an obsession over the past few months. I now have so many in my wardrobe that it resembles something out of a 'minimalist' blog haha, damn! I just can't get enough of them! Since modelling for La Lune which consisted of me posing in sheer collared shirts with humongous flower bouquets on my head and glitter tea cups in my hand, I have become a tea drinking, collar wearing, crazy cat. I'm not complaining though! 

Hussein Chalayan Grey Line S/S 2012

Union Magazine #1 S/S 2012

CURRENT OBSESSIONS

125 Magazine #17

Two things I'm obsessing over right now:

1. Vintage sunglasses

2. Flowers placed irratically on the human body

I just can't seem to get dainty flowers or vintage sunglasses out of my head at the moment. I don't really mind if the flowers are placed strangely on your body, like pictured above, or there's a huge birds nest looking headband on your head, i still love the idea.
