Colourful Tuesday: Alexander McQueen Tribute

Spring summer 2009

Alexander McQueen : fashion genius. R.I.P.

Country Road: AW2010

Autumn/Winter 2010 collection from Australian RTW label Country Road is just spot on. I checked it out in store last week and I want it all, specially the golden jumper (bottom left).

Colourful Tuesday: Akira

Spring/summer 2010 look book pics from talented Melbourne-based designer Akira Isogawa.

Kate Moss does stripes... again.

...and my obsession with stripes continues. Love the stripes, leather and fluff combo by the almighty Kate. Pic via Le Fashion.

YesStyle Australia is here!

I've blogged about Korean online shop YesStyle before but I have just received an email announcing the introduction of a dedicated Australian site. No more expensive shipping and exchange rates. Me so happy :)

This a small selection of some favourite stripes on offer.

Friday Etsy finds : Throwback Vintage

Find pretty, feminine things at Portland based shop Throwback Vintage. I'm thinking of getting that puffy-sleeved grey marle sweater...

Label focus: Gudrun og Gudrun

Based in the remote Faroe Islands, Gudrun og Gudrun make the most beautiful knits. I would love to get there one day (as well as Iceland, Svalbard and Greenland).

Alexa Chung for Madewell

So excited about the upcoming Alexa Chung range for Madewell that I can't wait until Fall 2010. I'm planning a flying visit to NYC in March/April and was going to stock on some more Madewell jeans (love my skinny ankle in dazed) but Alexa's range will not be in store yet... hmmph.

The pics above are current Madewell range so hoping that this gorgeous Mayfair dress will still be in stock in March.

Fashion at the rink

As a wannabe hockey player I spend many hours at Melbourne's only ice rink (the new Icehoouse will be opening soon though). Fashion highlights at the rink are very few and far between so you can imagine how pleased I was to discover Sally Scott's catalogue. Pure vintage-inspired winter magic!

Label Focus: Humanoid

Dutch label Humanoid has been around for 26 years yet I have only just discovered it. Beautiful fabrics and soft draping makes for very desirable pieces.

Perfection

Titled an American in London, this pic by The Sartorialist is my kind of look. The grey marle top over a white tee, the ripped jeans and of course the oxfords (I have a pair just like it!). If it was me though there would probably be stripes in there somewhere.

Wool and the Gang

Wool and the Gang are about quality wool and simple, easy knits that even beginners can get excited about. You can buy a kit, a pattern, some wool or the finished product. I love the Snood Dogg scarf (above right).

I still have to finish knitting the jumper I started last winter but then I'll be right on to it. Promise.

NYE Outfit.

Loeffler Randall silver silk-lurex tiered dress from Bluefly, Loeffler Randall Ramona Snap Pump from Revolve, Bijules Gold Gully ring from Oak, Paige Novick Multi wrap leather bracelet from La Garconne, Iosseliani bangle set from La Garconne.

Wishing you a wonderful New Year! I hope it brings you (and me) plenty of love and happy moments.

Colourful Tuesday : Colour blocking

I love Boxing Day sales. Well, I love all sales really. Urban Outfitters have these great dresses on sale so go grab yourself a bargain. Have fun :)

Australian Label Focus : Rittenhouse

Apologies for the lack of posts in the last couple of days. I have been totally flat out with work in the lead up to Christmas. One more day to go and then I have a 10 day break. Yay!

Anyway, Rittenhouse, a Sydney based label has been consistently gaining momentum in Australia in the past few seasons. I can see why, can you?

Label focus: Day Birger et Mikkelsen

Danish label Day has been a favourite of mine for a few years now. If I designed a range for myself this is just what it would look like.

Kate Spade knitty gift ideas

These items are just too cute and they are going straight to my xmas wishlist . Find them at Kate Spade.

Hel Boys and Cop Girls

Some favourite looks from Hel Looks and Copenhagen Street Style. I wish it was winter in Melbourne so that I could also wear layers with a big scarf. 3 more months of summer to go...

Under my umbrella (via The Cherry Blossom girl)

Came across this sweet pic on The Cherry Blossom girl's blog and just had to share. It's the stripes that get me every time...
