Just a material girl

This gorgeous collection and beautiful photographs make me want to move to Australia even more. The label Illionaire, which is an Australia based label, ventures into the wild to display their flirty and sexy collection for spring. And if anyone is willing to buy and donate any of these fabulous pieces, I am always open for donations.

Fly away with me

So today I attended my good friends grad, and like all days I wondered what to wear. In a panic of putting together a last minute outfit and going out and buying new heels, because I just didn't like any of the 14 pairs I already have and barely wear, which really is a crime. Anyways, in the midst of finding an outfit I managed to rip apart an old dress and throw on some glitz and there I was, ready to go. Actually for an outfit put together so hurriedly, I'd say it wasn't half bad.

Although the quickie photo shoot before getting picked up, clearly was.

On me: Black cardi from The Gap, dressed turned skirt from Forever 21, heels from Costa Blanca, unknown top, tights and necklaces.

Smokin in Leather

Now, as much as I am opposed to real leather, fake leather is very much in my "love and need" category on my shopping list right now. I am drooling over leather skirts and shorts in particular. And why not compare these selections with a visual from two of my favorite stars of "The City", who happen to loath each other. Sounds like a wonderful battle to me.

First, we have Olivia Palermo, the bitch who just can't take it, in her gorgeous black leather knee length skirt. It definitely adds some spice to her feminine blouse and contrasts nicely with her fur vest. And just a few words on the shoes: love it. Over all her outfit is very trendy and put together, like always.

Then comes miss Whitney Port, the good girl of NYC, wearing some not so good girl black leather shorts. Love love love. Just the fact that they are high waisted makes me love them even more. And those leopard print booties and baby blue cropped shirt just complete the outfit for me.

So as the battle continues to heat up between the two on screen, I think I'm going to have to name a winner in this blog outfit battle. And with bonus points for amazing shoes, the winner is...Whitney Port and her stylish leather shorts! Tune in next time for some more battles of the rich and stylish.

In a field of flowers and grass..

A picture is worth a thousand words, and I'd like to think mine tell novels. Recently within the past 5 months I've taken up photography and been putting my Nikon D5000 to good use.

In this most recent photo shoot, which was an amazing 15 minutes long, we have Brittany Leadbetter modeling a creation by Olive Couture by Olivia Hayward who's blog can be seen here. Hair and makeup was a combined effort by myself and Olivia and all in all I think the pictures turned out pretty good. Take a look...

On a sunny day in May

So I haven't done any outfit postings yet, so I thought I'd kick off with a bang. I wore this outfit on Mothers Day to a very lovely brunch at The Gatsby Mansion, which is one of my favorite places in Victoria. It's an 19th century house turned restaurant and hotel and it is absolutely gorgeous! Anyways, I will be sure to keep posting some more outfits and this time with a proper mini-photo shoot!

I love Agyness Deyn

First of all, do you know anyone who can pull of such a haircut? Not mentioning her bold choices in hair colours. I wish I could pull that off and make thousands a day with it. But miss Aggy is definitely one of my favorite models. Drop dead gorgeous, and has an amazing grungy style day-to-day. If I splattered my jean shirt with paint and wore it around town, I don't think I would get the same reaction as her. She has definitely made her place in the modeling world, currently ranking 12th on models.com 50 Top Models scale, and she is only going up. I look forward to seeing her face on the covers of Vogue for years to come.
