Lady in Red.

So I've come to the decision that every girl should own a red dress, or at least a dress with splashes of red in it. It really is amazing how red can look so good on so many different skin tones. I've seen girls with the palest skin wear it in a dress beautifully, while it looks stunning on darker skin tones as well. I've picked a few dresses from my favourite labels to share with you all below. Just to clear up - I'm not colour blind, there are a few pink dresses in there which I uploaded as they are too amazing not too (as well as dresses that aren't red, but have touches of red). The ones I've picked below are by Josh Goot, Camilla and Marc, Willow, Sass and Bide, Alice McCall, Lover, Preen, Micheal Lo Sordo, Acne, Kirrily Johnston and Dion Lee. If I could, I would have one of each. Please xx (sorry about the quality- I couldn't touch up some of the images as I am not on my computer and I also didn't have the right sizes, but hopefully you get the picture ;).....)

Alice McCall Remy Dress

This cute little number is one of my favourite new additions to the wardrobe! I will be getting SOOOOO much wear out of this dress, I can see it already! Anyway, worn with my Tristan Blair studded leather ankle boots and my new Helmut Lang tux blazer that I was lucky enough to pick up on sale as it is last season ( there was one left and it was my size.. I figure it was a sign that I just had to buy it!?).. I am loving all my new Alice McCall dresses and clothes!! More posts to come :) Click HERE to be directed to my sisters online store, where you can purchase the Remy dress for $329.. I definitely think its a keeper :) xx

Spring time lace.

Just received my new SS12 order from my sister Alice McCall's latest collection. Sphinxes without Secrets 1SS12, which you can view and buy HERE. This is the beautiful Anais dress which is one of my favourites. Wearing with my Sams beanie and my 'This is Genevieve' boots. So glad the weather is finally warming up!! Going to get lots of wear out of this one! :) xx

My sisters and me.

So todays outfit was inspired by family. My dress is designed by my oldest sister Alice McCall, my blazer (which has a zip that can be made into a cropped jacket, or the longer blazer version, very versatile!) is designed by the middle sister Bird of Life with Bird, the leather handbag is also a Life with Bird bag which I've had for years and it's still amazing! What I love about this bag is that no matter what the 'popular' handbag of the season is, I can get away with this one and feel like I'm still on trend. Not that I think that it is always important to be on trend, cause it's actually quite a great thing to be unique and different and opt for something completely individual so you aren't the same as everyone else. I think it is so important to always put your own spin on trends. I love people observing, especially dissecting girls personalities by looking at their outfits and more often than not you can come across girl after girl looking exactly the same and it says nothing about who they really are. If that makes any sense at all. I will say that I do get caught up in the 'trends' from time to time and get excited about the new hot 'must have' pieces, but then I think we should mix it up and add something that reflects your own taste with whatever it is you are wearing. I love to have fun with fashion and I can never really describe my style as it changes from day to day. I get influences from grunge, punk, tomboy, girlie, man-style, casual chic, vintage, gothic, classy cool, casual, sports luxe and my style icons would have to be… Ok its a long list (and I culled a few!!) Chloe Sevigny, Diane Kruger, Kate Moss, Miranda Kerr, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Elin Kling, Cara and Poppy Delevingne, Pixie Geldof and of course my two sisters Alice and Bridget who are both so unique in their style and always look amazing in WHATEVER they are wearing!! It's quite funny though as even though I love to get dressed up, I LOVEEEE to get home and jump into a pair of trackies (I own 12 pairs) a tee and my fiancés super comfy jumpers. There's just nothing like it!! Anyway, I have a few happy snaps to share with you, just cause.. I know the white heart shaped sunnies are a bit daggy but I think they are kinda cute! Oh and the leather boots are new season from Husk. They are still available and are called the 'Ankle boot' retailing for $495 if you are interested :) click HERE if you'd like a pair!! xx (The staffy is my beautiful baby Lota, definitely considered a bestie of mine! I love her dearly xxx)

Dion Lee Forest Green Dress.

So this was the original (first of 4) dress that I bought to wear to my engagement party last December. I absolutely love it, however I ended up wearing a white Camilla and Marc gorgeous dress- I'll show you guys a pic eventually! Anyway, I think this is a keeper. Not to much of a statement- simple, clean lines. One of those dresses that you can afford to eat a little without being worried that you may get a little bloated, you know? It's not figure hugging, yet is very flattering. The colour is so beautiful and it's probably the first real green dress (or green piece of clothing for that matter) that I have bought since I was young! I bought it when I was managing 'Green with Envy,' along with the other 3 options! That's what happens when you go in that store. You plan to buy one thing and come out with four. It's inevitable really! But totally worth it- you only live once and I don't want to regret anything. I am yet to wear this lil  number but I'm sure it won't date, so hopefully I'll get to wear it sooner rather then later! Now if it was up to me- I definitely would be wearing different shoes! I just chucked these MASSIVE wedges on with it for a bit of fun. Which also reminds me- I'm in need of some great new shoes. If you're reading this and you have suggestions of shops or styles let me know! I will collate all the information/ advice from people and post about it over time. Anywayyy- if you already know me, then you know I love photoshop and playing around.. This was one of those times. Not the neatest but I don't have time to fix them up- the fiancé is cracking it!! 'Get off the bloody computer'. hehe.. oops. Night peeps :) xxx
