How I have missed you.

Finally, I'm back online! And right at the perfect time too, with Festival Season WELL on it's way.

I'm on the look out for a new bag for my first up coming festival at Parklife. One thing to remember for my new purchase is to ensure that it is small enough so that it doesn't get in the way of dancing and running a muck, yet big enough to store all of the essentials.

Linea Pelle, Alex Mini Cross Bag

Steve Madden, Balpha Bag

Some inspirationals.

Oh oh my GO-osh! I'm lucky that I just de-maxed my credit card before oogling my eyes at these pretty dresses and jewelry:

I love this John Galliano (for Christian Dior) dress I found at MarieClaire.com :

I don't know why, but this dress seems to work for me. I don't know. Maybe it's the pink, or how fluffy and cuddly or maybe even how squishy it looks. Believe it or not, it was knitted by hand by Jessica Sykes.

My obsession with keys have worsened with this ring by House of Harlow.

Cupcakes imitating candles? Or candles imitating cupcakes? Lol! Looks good enough to eat!

Ringing it.

Long live McQueen!

It was announced that Sarah Burton will continue McQueens legacy (Hooray!). Closely working with the king of fashion himself (for like 14 years or so), she is the person to take his house to new levels - apparently they are to start a mens underwear line. Sarah was also the one to complete his collection in time for the Autumn/Winter 2010/2011 Paris Fashion week. She is definitely one to keep eye on. Long live McQueen!

In Love.

The design of this dress is so loveable. I want one. My mission is to find one just like it!

Sweet heart of mine.

Looking around for some romantic/vintage inspired dresses to add to my ever growing wardrobe, I came across a few dresses from Juliette Hogan's collections.

Needless to say, I LOVE! Hope you love too!

Enjoy!

I ♥ these shoes by Steve Madden. I just pre-ordered myself a pair :) Yay!

Dear Miss Kershaw...

Dear Miss Kershaw.
I can't help but ♥ you.

Who needs a stylist?

2010-06-06T22:19:00.001+10:00

Work was pretty quiet today. Had a little bit of time to check out Westfield's website to find that you can actually hire a stylist. Call me out dated, but since when were you able to shop for a stylist? Reminded me of my picture collection for class of a few stylistas that caught my eye, that had their own style, and needn't the help of another Zoe.

These pretty ladies have their own individual creative style, and makes me GREEN.WITH.ENVY. But you know, snaps to them for their creativeness and their ability to create effortless outfits.

Agnes Deyn definitely is at the top of my list. Her kooky and quirky style mixes vintage, designer and layers upon layers - but yet still looks like she's stepped out of a fashion shoot. Jealousy rating? 10/10. (credit::teenvogue):

Ex-model Alexa, is my next. I like her girl-next-door style, that's just so "I just threw it together" look. She mixes the high end stuff with vintage that always highlight her sky high (to die for) killer legs. Definitely makes me jealous. I wish I had sky high legs. Winter, please end. Now. My tights are ready to retire!

And how can i forget Miss Sevigny? She's definitely her own stylist. Her name even sounds a designer label. She has a very 80's vintage meet rock chic grunge look, and manages to effortlessly make clashing prints work. She's fast becoming a designer in her own right, and with a style like that, why wouldn't she?

Music + Fashion = Zooey Deschanel

Not just a singer, but a fashion knock-out without the need of stylist. Who makes Alice in Wonderland inspired headbands, tiaras and bows look somewhere in the middle of cool and cute? Paris Hilton with her headbands never looked as good.

I hope you appreciate her version of Dream a little Dream as much as i do! ♥

Amidst the hype of SJPs newly released (a muchly anticipated one at that), Sex in the City sequel, in true style, one must condone the very beautiful clothes and trends that encompasses (as well as) inspires every fashionista (ok, maybe not every) that it brings.

Anyway, after a hard and busy day at work, nothing pleases me more than oggling and being inspired at the beautiful outfits they wear (in and out of the movie), which highlights more reasons why my shopping addiction is running wild.

These outfits are definitely a perfect mixture of mod vs quirky.

I ♥ the bold prints and cinched waist! (credit::fashiontribes.typepad)

Working with Shorts + Tights

I've seen quite a few girls wearing this out. I actually like the look, and it will expand wardrobes a bit more without having to spend the extra $$$'s. Must remind myself to dig out my shorts collection.

The White Blazer is winning Lots of Love!

2010-05-12T21:49:00.003+10:00

The White Blazer is on of this seasons MUST haves ♥! This versatile item can be worn with almost anything (just don’t do a Lady Gaga, and team with tights and a bodysuit! – It may look good on her but it’s definitely not for the streets!) and gives your outfit instant sophistication!!!

Although the blazer was usually saved for those cooler days in the summer or spring months, it’s making its massive comeback this winter (and I’m sure it can be carried through next season) and comes in a variety of styles (I ♥ the sharp shoulder look). Invest in a mid-lengther, as it will be more adaptable to your wardrobe, or if you’re feeling brave, aim for a cropped sleeve version and layer it up (with colours) to keep your arms from the cold.

What to wear it with!

Because white is such a clean slate, you can glam it up in so many ways imaginable. Mary-Kate teams it up easily with black tights (leather tights look good also!), and black pumps or gladiator like wedges – if you can’t take the height, choose the flats and contrast your top half with a brightly coloured floral top (if you want to avoid looking a little matchy).

Avoid looking too glammy (because you have the rock star like style) and rough it up a little with ripped jeans, biker boots and an oversized top with a loosely wrapped scarf (printed) in a darker shade.

Vintage inspired? Or is Chloe Sevigny your fave fashion icons? Wear your new addition with denim shorts (a blue or dark hue), a plain or printed t-shirt, black stockings, flats, and accessorise with coloured bangles or a long chain necklace.

Heading Out?

Wear this piece with a matching skirt and black stockings like Sienna Miller, or, wear with an LBD (or coloured if you like – your dress will stand out more!). Dresses not you thing? Blake Lively wears it well with black shorts, tights, and sky-high like pumps (or wear closed in gladiator like heels for a grungier feel) – and don’t forget to accessorise!

If you’re thinking like you will be spending most of your time worrying about what kind of stains you may find on it during the day (and we all know white is not the friendliest with even the slightest mark), opt for an off white or cream, and if you don’t think you can hold yourself clean for more than a few seconds, go for the classic black look and let your worries go astray.

I ♥ buys:

ALICE IN THE EVE: Edward Tux Blazer ($139.95 @ General Pants)
ELIZABETH AND JAMES: Minimal James Blazer ($395 @ Net-a-porter.com)
SASS AND BIDE: The Arrow ($890 @ mycatwalk.com.au) - cute leather pants with zips
CAMILLA AND MARK: Congo Frock ($460 @ mycatwalk.com.au) - an almost eensy weensy LBD
ROMANCE WAS BORN: Bloody basic tee dress ($329 @ mycatwalk.com.au) - it's hotly printed!!
