See you soon...

The time has come to move on! However, this is not a goodbye. You can check out my blogging and work on the soon to be launched website dressme.com.au to get your daily fashion fix! I shall miss you and see you on the other side...and by other side I mean another website! Ciao!

In a backstreet in Tokyo, Chanel celebrated the launch of Karl Lagerfeld's new book Little Black Jacket. The elegant and classy gathered for the event, with what seemed to be more of a family affair. Especially with the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Vanessa Paradis, Amanda Harlech, Clémence Poésy and many other stylish guests...

wool & leather...

The A/W 2012-2013 collections showed off a multitude of chunky knits, as well as thin woolens we can play around with. Layering a knit over a collared shirt is a FAB favourite of mine (I'm not going to lie), but I also love that 80's trend of long knits and leggings. Please opt for a leather or "pleather" looking legging to pair with your new woolens, so chic! Dress up with heels, or keep things casual with a boot or flat. Pick your poison!

I hijacked my Nonna's guest room for this shot. My room is, let's say...a lot more packed!


geometry...

Follow suit! That is, take a note or two from  Marni, Holly Fulton and Etro's Spring 2012 collections. Geometric prints were a trend we must use to go against tradition. Mix up your basic black and whites with a print like this, or go for a bold look by using a colour blocking technique...

strut it!

New Zimmermann heels I can't wait to where for the first time! I must admit, I'm use to wearing a wedge or a thicker heel, so I'm sure a little practice might be needed beforehand to minimise some embarrassing moments. Agreed?

Justine Davis...

A casual stroll down Crown Street gets me in all kinds of trouble...I can't help myself! Usually it's about rummaging through pre-loved garments, however my attention was elsewhere on my last visit. I walked into +Estate of Mind, a store that sells eccentric, edgy and daring labels. Now, my obsession and love for all things leather is nothing new to you, however I have been in the market for a leather top. I've found it! The search is over (I know you were worried too)! I purchased this Justine Davis Aponi leather crop...definitely worth the $130!

another man's trash...

Markets are a great place to find some cheap treasure, not to mention the selection of vintage and retro stores that offer stunning pieces. As a girl who should've been born in the 70's, I love to find pieces that date back to theatrical times of shoulder pads, leather and glitter. I hit Bondi and Rozelle markets this weekend to find some "pre-loved" beauties...

$25 leather skirt from Bondi Markets

Pre-loved 80's jacket...$6 from Rozelle Markets

Grey knit I picked up from Bondi Markets for $20...a great winter number!

Get rummaging!
