aussie summer

only a few days to go and well be in australia...woot woot! can't wait to spend the summer there with friends, family and the outdoors (jtown is often referred to as the big durian)! Even though I'm enjoying all the pre fall collections coming through these pics from planet blues look book electric lady land really resonate with my experiences of australian summer. I'm thinking colourful tribal prints, splashes of neon, bright nails, and swim hair...

wardrobe crush - yasmin sewell

i have a wardrobe crush on yasmin sewell. she is a fashion retail consultant, trend forecaster and a creative advisor for fashion brands. she always looks ultra comfortable and ultra confidant. and i love that she is so consistent with the execution of her styling. her clothes are structured and interesting. once i started finding images of her i couldn't stop my searching. oh... and her hair...amazing! oh and she's australian :) 

the dart lines and structure on this is amazing here

burberlicious

how rocking has burberry become over the past few years. all thanks to designer christopher bailey, who has made the house fashion forward and relevant. what i love is that he moved away from checkering everything (rant: OTT branding irks me... many fashion houses destroy what could be amazing design if they weren't lost under all the lettering) and has focused on delivering a burberry aesthetic that rings true in all the designs but there is something unexpected and cool about it as well.

i can't stop at pre fall 2012 because spring 2012 was so amazing - the colours and textures... just genius... i need to see it again.

and then there was this not so summer summer coat in that collection....its the perfect baby poo yellow (i've become expert at baby poo colours - and if my babies poo could shape shift into this beauty id wear it no matter the smell)

...and now i can't leave out resort 2012, oh! those shoes...

pink panthers

when i saw hannelli rocking this awesome pastel pink sweater with braiding detail i remembered how much i loved givenchy's spring 2012 collection of pastel pink and cream etc suiting and suit short ensembles...so pretty and edgy at the same time.

liking this trend of large statement necklace over the top of a shirt or jumper.
