Trends I Love: Obi Wrap Anything
Posted on August 30, 2010 | No CommentsObi wraps come from the Japanese culture, as their traditional dress. Geikos or more commonly known as Geishas who are performing artists also wear them with painted faces. (Geishas are not prostitutes, by the way, as popular culture might have you believe). Women wear obi... -
Marie Antoinette à la Rose
Posted on July 28, 2010 | No CommentsI am fascinated by this period. All the ostentatious ruffles, bows, frills, colour and luxury makes me swoon. I couldn’t wear any of it today, and I think I might look a tad ridiculous, but I take inspiration from the colour palette, and incorporating bits... -
Dolled Up In Dots
Posted on July 26, 2010 | No CommentsDid everyone have an awesome holiday? I hope so! I didn’t venture out on Boxing Day, because my new thing for 2010 is to Shop My Closet. That’s right, a no shopping ban. The only two exceptions are if I see the perfect leather jacket... -

Obsession: Leather Jackets
Posted on March 17, 2010 | 4 CommentsOne of my three obsessions (and exceptions) is a leather jacket I want a thin, supple, dark brown, biker style leather jacket. Zippers, snaps, clasps, clips. And pockets. Kind of like this one: Look how perfect it is over a floaty dress! Elle is SO... -
Trends I love: Nude Lace
Posted on March 10, 2010 | 4 CommentsI know it is technically lace (usually black) overlay on nude fabric, but I like calling it nude lace. And not all of it is technically lace over nude fabrics, but who’s being picky here? Less fussy. I find the black lace overlay gorgeous and... -
Obsessed with getting a trench coat
Posted on February 15, 2010 | 4 CommentsStill obsessed. Still on a shopping ban. Am looking out for something similar to a Burberry trench. I haven’t decided on a colour, but I think in a khaki or a dark blackberry red would be fabulous on me. I know this is NOT a...
