mental relief with vineet bahl.

Getting outside does so much for my sanity, especially when it's an escape to the beach. I was beating myself up for not bringing my Seafollys' today though - absolutely perfect, and I wore the most inappropriate outfit. Why didn't I flow with something sleeveless? I gave up on Apple weather long ago, so when it…

xoxo alice mccall.

When I get a little piece of her, one day, I will know I have made it in life. Yes, that is one of the most materialistic things I could ever say, but I just adore everything Alice. My sneaky dotti dress, which to the unkowing eye comes across as a lovely Alice McCall number,…

shona joy joy.

Today I made a sneaky post-Melbourne Cup purchase, my watch finally exists. The lady in the store probably thought I was a crazed girl, high on winnings (which I definitely wasn't, especially since 2 poor horses had to pay the price). Thankfully this was a well-planned purchase, thoroughly researched on the net - my shopping…

so brazilia, so spring.

Amazing things right now -- spring is definitely here (my eyes and nose are feeling it, but the rest of me is loving it), the long weekend is almost upon us, beach days ahead, my cactus is still alive, 6 months worth of catching up on the fashion weeks, my favourite haloumi and apple dessert…

marssi marssi marssi.

Reminding me of good old Brady Bunch - 'Marcia Marcia Marcia'. But unlike Jan I am saying this in an absolutely positive way. Each Marssi shoe is hand-crafted with so much effort and love, just watch the video and you will see what I mean. I just enjoy seeing people who are clearly so passionate…

cargo crew.

Cargo Crew designs may be intended for workspace purposes - for all your baristas and bar workers - but I think they would also quite happily fit into the real world. I mean, bicycle lycra is appearing on the streets, so why shouldn't denim aprons and bow ties? At least these could be half flattering...…

twenty seven names.

We all need a good old NZ-based fashion brand to fall in love with. It's crazy how most international designers focus on a specific set of design rules and styles each season, with elements crossing over different labels, like the gladiator sandal of yesteryear. But when you dig a little deeper it's clear that the…

fashionista :: nadinoo.

There is nothing quite like the sophisticated, old school girliness of Nadinoo. These little outfits look like they are straight off the set of a film based in the 1940's, World War II era. Reminiscent of The Edge of Love - all those Welsh landscapes, layers and GUMBOOTS. Simple design and subdued prints are perfect…

3.1 phillip lim.

I just love a bit of good old phil. He sounds like a super cool guy, and also happens to create potentially some of the greatest womenswear out there. Maybe I also love him because he's pretty much living my dream - studying business and then eventually becoming a designer. The looks are always edgy…

freda salvador.

Are these not some of the most beautiful little shoes you have ever spotted? These clever girls are from my most desired destination - San Francisco, and their styles completely complement the coolness of the area. Shoes are those items that I just struggle to walk away from when I find a beautiful pair. It's…
