Emilio Pucci Spring 2011 | Milan Fashion Week

Fashion Gone Rogue

Wow! That's the first word that came to mind when I saw Pucci's latest collection. My original plan was to do individual posts on my favourite pieces/designers from each of the major fashion weeks starting with New York, moving on the London, then Milan etc. With the amount of uni week I've had to do, I haven't got round to compiling all the pictures. And then when I saw this collection, I just couldn't wait to post it! This is what my dream summer/spring wardrobe would look like - sheer, blue & white psychedelic print maxis and kaftans, brown leather sandals, and crochet dresses. I love how the fabrics just flow as the models strut along the runway, the lace-up detailing,  the summery 'I did it myself hair' and natural-looking makeup. It's making me get all excited for the warm summer months ahead :)

Sheer pants, fur coats, leopard, maxi dresses, embroidary, ethnic scarves

The hair & makeup is gorgeous too

Weekend Inspiration

Finally the weekend is here! After a stressful week of uni & assignments I can finally relax.  It's a beautiful sunny Sydney spring day. Ooo that's alliteration :) The last couple of days I've really been into the luxe hippy/boho look - tie dye, bangles, turquoise stone jewellery, long flowing maxi dresses & skirts, loose linen pants, & flowing hair. I'm really trying to move away from the all-black look and going for something more casual. This spring/summer is all about understated glamour for me.

My fav inspirational pics/clips of the moment:

Can't get enough of Florence + The Machine's "Dog Days Are Over"

Drew Barrymore in Harper's Bazaar US October 2010 issue

Doesn't she look fabulous! That dress has such a 70s vibe.

Gossip Girl in Paris ♥

Last night I watched the season 4 premiere of Gossip Girl titled "Belle de jour" over a cup of tea, snuggled up in bed. I must say I loved it! After all, how could anyone not like anything set in Paris, the most cultural and stylish city in the world? I squealed in excitement as I watched Blair & Serena take the streets of Paris in their incredibly chic summer ensembles, shop in the world's most luxurious stores and dine in beautiful Parisian cafes. Not to mention an appearance by Lou Doillon - she is so cool! Let's admit it, the story lines for the show are absolutely insane - Dan becoming a father, Chuck rescued by an Eastern European beauty, Blair going on a date with a prince of Monaco and Nate being stalked by some crazy new girl. But I don't care. I'll be honest, the thing I love about the show the most is checking out the girl's clothes.... and Chace Crawford isn't exactly hard on the eyes either. 

Check out season 4's premiere trailer:

Nancy's Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walking" goes so well with this!

Their hats are super cute

Cupcakes :)

Gorgeous Summer Outfit - especially the green maxi

Loving Serena's gold blazer & hair

Lou Doillon!

Can't wait to see what happens to these fashionable NY socialites this season (or which designer clothes they'll be wearing!)

Blog Crush: Columbine Smille

I saw pics of swedish blogger, Columbine Smille, on Knightcat & Wildfox and just had to check out her blog. She is an assistant fashion stylist and her style is undoubtedly impeccable. She ticks all my boxes - on-trend, original, a little eccentric and effortlessly chic. Her wardrobe is amazing - lots of denim, basic t-shits, tailored pieces, fantastic sandals & boots and chic dresses, with the perfect amount of colour (wine & pinks seem to be her favs).  I just wish there was an English translation of her blog so I could actually understand what this amazing fashionista is writing! Nevertheless, her pics are filled with loads of fashion inspiration. Here are some of my fav looks of hers:

Red heels ♥

Love the grey and that leather jacket is the most amazing shade of grey/olive/brown

So chic!

Perfect summer look - loving the magenta!

Love the olive jersey skirt & espadrille boots

Gorgeous velvet heels glam up an otherwise casual look

Summer evening outfit perfection :)

Love it!
