There's just something so captivating about Aussie models.

I love these shots! LOVE… Anja is so beautiful, and looking at these photos, has made me want to die my hair back peroxide blonde… Or just really, really blonde!! I'm sick of growing it out for 2 years now.. SOOOO over ittttt. Anyway- these photographs are captivating and beautiful and definitely tell a storey, making me want to see more from the series! I don't care if she isn't tall, and I'm starting to think that the modelling world isn't caring about height so much anymore either… Except on the runway still- one day that will change ;)….. At the end of the day, a good model is someone who is intriguing. Who you can't stop looking at and who sells the images to you. Published in May 2013, for Ausländer Summer 2014, by Andre Nicolau, for Vogue brazil, I can only hope that our Aussie mags take after those overseas and start using some of our more amazing raw Aussie talent in our own mags.. THE COLOURS, THE STYLING, THE CASTING… HONESTLY THIS would HAVE TO BE ONE OF MY MOST RECENT FAVOURITE SERIES :) xx

MBFWA 2013: designer Emma Mulholland

So I first came across Emma Mulholland from the beautiful Liz from Street Smith when we did a 'street style' shot together and I wore an 'Emma Mulholland' top with some Romance was Born shorts. This look got a lot of comments as it was quirky and cool- just like her collections. I feel like she actually reminds me a bit of Romance was Born, however there are a lot of differences and they are both very unique and individual. Emma MulHolland has a feeling of vintage eighties, meets futuristic quirky cool. I love the styling with the hair and make up in this show. It makes for good entertainment and it's always interesting when things are a bit different to usual. Her pieces make a statement, yet I feel like you could wear one item and dress it down with a more basic piece so it's a bit more wearable to those who don't want to stand out, as her designs really do 'Stand Out'! I love it though and would totally rock a lot of her pieces. Hows the hair in the first shot!? It looks like there are spray-painted sunglasses on the bright orange fringe. Different ay!? I would love to own the dress in the second shot and think the bracelets are super cool as well. I mostly love the mix of colours used, the sleeve on the dress and the texture using sequins! Cuteness to bootness! The orange top in the third photo down is not my style however I can totally see the right chick rocking that.. But I do love the 'what looks to be a' skirt underneath the top. The print is epic! Absolutely love the sheer white dress with sequinned whale in the fourth photo. The models blue hair completely compliments the white and black as well. The jewellery is quite out there, but thats her signature look and the way she pulls it off all together somehow works- which is not something a lot of labels can do. I would love both the top and skirt in the fifth photo down that Julia Nobis is wearing. And how she makes me want that hair is just ridiculous- cause that's what it would look like on me!! But wow- she looks amazing! I am liking the soft neon colours of the palm tree's against the background of black in the tea. Striking in an understated way. Then there is the first image that I put up of her mens collection. Love the jacket he is wearing and love the print. I would totally wear that jacket on top of a cute plain fitted mini dress… like a neoprene baby blue tight fitted mini… Or even a white neoprene dress… But hey- I probs wouldn't take the jacket off a) because I love it and b) because I would be bloody self conscious in a tight fitted mini neoprene!! Rachel Rutt in the eighth photo down could possibly be my fave I think!! I am obsessed with printed pants- as I have said time and time again, in posts in the past. I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough… Yep, I did mean to write that twice ;) And hows the top! An almost bright blue animal print, mixed with black mesh, mixed with orange triangle detailing cuffed sleeves… love it! I don't really know if that was the right description of that top, but it's the only way I can think of how to describe it right now.. Getting late you know!?
OMG- so I don't know what just happened to this post but I had written about all the other outfits under this one I just talked about and posted it- then I went to view it on my blog and all this weird 'coding' appeared on my page, just under what I had written above and all my writing below was gone…. So bloody annoying! But what can you do!??? So back I go to where I lost it all from.
Anyway, so I think what I had said was that we are seeing a lot of orange and blue for next Spring Summer 2013-2014. Like we did in Camilla and Marc- the two colours work really well together! After that I had mentioned the two boys outfits below and how super unique and cool they are.. Love the bomber jacket with the print, and I am digging the guys red hair against the clothing as well in the other outfit.. Looks awesome! Then you have the bikini, which I'm not sure is waterproof but I wanted to share it with you cause I love the style of it and the colours and the girls bod is pretty damn hot! So I have to say- totally love the last 2 outfits! The dress is a winner cause I love that print. It reminds me of those blackboards you had when you were younger with all the multi colours underneath- then you had those pens that you would use to scratch out the black and write messages or draw pictures to make all the colours underneath appear… How cool were those!? I want one again! The jumper in the last shot is wicked. Printed jumpers are so in right now- I think Kenzo really took them mainstream again. This one is fun and I wouldn't mind owning it!! Cute skirt too hey! Anyway, hopefully when I click 'update' I don't loose all my writing again to some weird code appearing all over my bloggy-woggy. xx

MBFWA 2013: designer Camilla and Marc

For years and years one of my favourite designer couple duos (be it brother and sister, not husband and wife) have been Camilla and Marc. I honestly first thought they were a couple, cause they look so different, but was swiftly told that no, they are not together, they are related! Anyway, what a beautiful collection they produced this season. Black, white, bronze, lace and colourful animal print. All the things that make me excited- in terms of fashion and design. I love the belts! With what looks to be a rose gold metal buckle, or also in black and silver. I love the second photo of the white dress on Cassie. The slit at the front is in just the right position to show off the best part of a woman's leg- when she walks. Oh so sexy. I also like how the dress is not fitted and sits off the body- yet is quite structured. It's very appealing and interesting. The bronze printed 'velvet-looking' pants and bodysuit are to die for! So good… The ideas of outfits I would pair either of those items with, going through my head are endless..    The lace fabric they have used in the collection is divine! Truly stunning.. I really want the long sleeve lace top seen in the last photo! Diggin the low slung purple printed pants in the sixth photo on my fave model Claire.. God she's hot and looks super cool in this outfit. After Claire, is Ollie who after LMFF dyed her hair from peroxide blonde- something she was known quite well known for, to dark brown. She's definitely a chameleon, looking good with any colour hair! Wish i could say the same for myself! I tried going dark brown once and it did not look good at all!! Anyway, back to Camilla and Marc and that lace top she's wearing. How friggin how is it!?? She has no bra on and looks so sophisticated and elegant which is not something you would usually say about a girl with a lace top and no bra. Then after this look I love the bronze bodice playsuit with high waisted belt and sheer skirt. HOT! The necklace also works perfectly as an accessory for the look. Then we have the purple and orange leopard print. AMAZING…. I love orange and I love animal print… The purple is a surprisingly good contrast and works really well back with the print. Theres a few different styles in this print but I particularly like the skirt and the way its styled back with a plain bright yellow silk blouse is perfect. Bright, bold and fun, without being too much. The light grey-blue and black print dress is super cute! The print almost looks like little branches or something. I love the style of dress and I  can see so this being one of their best sellers amongst the younger C & M fans. I in fact would love to own this… Very cute! The black and white dress next, isn't my style at all, but it is so beautiful and I love the way you can see the white lining under the fluted twist skirt. Very classic and stylish. Then you have Rachel Rutt in the white pants and crop top (that every girl needs in her wardrobe!). I love the contrast of the black belt, the shape of the white crop top and the fit of these pants- although it is slightly hard to tell in the photos. Last there is my favourite top!! That lace fitted long sleeve, high neck style is oh so beautiful. Oh la laaaaa.. The skirt- not such a fan of. but hey- that's just me!! Anyway, to see more of the photos click HERE. Enjoy xx

MBFWA 2013: designer Ellery

Ellery can do no wrong. Really. Her designs are beautiful and desirable. I want to own so much of her collection. It's always the way! I love the shoes they have used in her show, they are ultra cool and somehow remind me of the days when I was obsessed with dressing like a dancer, and thinking that it was cool to wear leg warmers out, with dresses or whatever. That sounds really weird doesn't it! Maybe some of you will know what I mean. I love the look of the mini shorts or skirts with this heavy shoe, which looks almost like mini 'A-Line skirts' over your ankles. Perfect for me as I have Cankles. You know- the calves that run into your ankle, so you really don't have any!? Well, thats me- so these shoes are the perfect disguise. Anyway, I love the first look. Black and gold always looks great together. So does a big jacket with small, mini shorts. The models legs may infact add to the reason why this 'look', looks soooo amazing! Probably. Then there's Julia looking angelic in the second photo. Her beautiful pale skin, white blonde hair work well with the all over white look. Her look's have grown on me in a massive way. At first I really wasn't sure what I thought about her, but she truly is beautiful and not in the obvious way. The more you look at her, the more you fall in love with her looks. I'm loving the pants in the third photo, but also have to comment on the models hair cause I dig it.. Messy and styled perfectly. Then I have put up another photo of Julia in that beautiful black dress. She's so slim and tall so she looks absolutely breathtaking in this dress. It's amazing how eye-catching a plain black dress can be. I love Cassie's look in the photo below with the very basic mini black dress contrasted with the white shoes. I have to say though, she's too skinny!! I saw her walk in the LMFF and was thinking the same thing in the flesh.. The fact that she has a baby, baffles me.. How it is possible and to have a body like that!?? I guess she's still, what, 20?? Yes she is naturally skinny- that's for sure, but this is different. She's lost too much weight. Anyway, she still looks amazing, as does her hair. It's a beautiful colour at the moment. All in all, the hair and makeup for the Ellery show is beautiful! I'm loving the look after Cassi in the seventh photo down. I always love a bulky jacket tied around a stylish outfit. Once again, I just feel the shoes tie the whole look together and work perfectly! Then there is the model Claire Collins (99% sure that's her name), who I think is one of the most stunning models in the Aussie market right now. She is sooooooo beautiful! Anyway- I love the gold skirt, but not sure about the top.. It's growing on me, but I don't get the look right off the bat.. I'm obsessed with the look after that with the bulky black jumper and high waisted black shorts. Super cool and easy and hot! I think it's very sexy for a girl to be wearing quite bulky clothing on the top, with something mini and loosely fitted or figure hugging, so you show off your legs. I think its flattering and sexy- especially when your a model and have legs like those!! Lastly there is Ruby Jean in an outfit I probably wouldn't of clicked and saved had it not been for her in it.. That's the amazing thing about her- she can make anything look good and appealing. I guess thats why she in such high demand both here and internationally. Anyway, click HERE to be taken to more photos from APL.

Milan Fashion Week SS13. Take two.

So here are some more photos from fashion week; I love the black and gold of Emilio Pucci, the burgundy and tangerine of Jil Sander. Especially the outfit on the right in the last photo of the four below. I could easily see the blazer, top and shorts in my wardrobe. The prints in Marni's collection are amazing along with the use of metallics and shine in the fabrics of Giorgio Armani. I'm always excited to see Missoni's collection and it hasn't disappointed me! I love the latest one with the bright, sexy fun vibe. Salvatore Ferragamo has to be one of my FAVOURITES! I am obsessed with the white lace pants. I shall go on a hunt for them asap! Last but not least, Trussardi is beautiful and very wearable. Another designer to use both a bright/bold and soft sorbet colour palate throughout the collection.
I have been inspired by this latest Fashion Week to expand my wardrobe. Time to start working everyday for the next 10 years so I can afford to! hehe… seriously! enjoy xx
