simplicity

It's all in the details.

Saturday finds me up early, skyping with my dear cousin and Godson. Pushing a few design bits and bobs around and enjoying the cooler morning with a cup of Irish Breakfast tea and delicious golden crumpets.

Whilst on my usual blog perusal I came across the prettiest nails I have seen - watercolour DIY nail painting via A Cup Of Jo. Delicate and intriguing, with the right amount artist embellishment. On to the ever-growing spare time to-do/experiment list!

I'm off to enjoy the Autumn sun and light breeze by the river.

Happy Saturday!

some days

... I'd fancy getting about in something like this.

Comfortable creativity, yeah?

Classy. Casual. To the point.

I can't say I've ever been a big Kate Moss fan, but I just love this casual, sexy, natural look she has going on in this photo. 

Channelling simple beauty.

... dress up and run through manicured gardens, like Wonderland characters.

Oui?

he who hoots

... with the owl at night, shall not soar with the eagle by day.

Au contraire!

The aim is to do both, for a while.

Two days til Summertime.

... perfection.

Prompting a little end of Spring, style love.

... what's the time?

Pink flush & a diamond dial.

{dang girl, that's fancy}

Even us little girls should highlight what our mama gave us. Or lack thereof. Monk House Design has us covered and this prism inspired number'll do just nicely.

Thanks Michi. You know what we're on about.

So a little bit of free advertising for papier mache mag, but the real intent of sharing this pic is that I am totally loving the rocking styling of this tiddly-wink. Shit, if I was that cool at 5 I'd have taken the world over already.

Heck, all the kids in this magazine are little hipsters.

Crafty, cool.

only just otoño

While there's only a smidge of Autumn left in the Southern Hemisphere... I would have to say outfits like this, are perfect for days like these.

Si?

día uno

Day One of the Mercedes Benz Australian Fashion Week, here in Sydney, saw the lovely Casey Staar and I pound the pavement from the Shangri La, to The Establishment, to the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Circular Quay and back to the Shangri La. An afternoon of various designer collections, previewed with the chance to buy, backed by stunning views saw two very stylish and happy ladies strut their stuff through the city.

Hesitant to take too many pics of unreleased collections (pre runway show), I for now snapped a whole lot of gorgeous scenic Sydney snaps. Beginning with my morning coffee run to the heights of the afore mentioned hotels. Mid afternoon until dusk allowed some beautiful shots, instagrammed to perfection.

Coffee, Tea & Me - Redfern

Inner city view of Centrepoint Tower.

Georgia Osbourne's latest collection, on racks. The Harbour Bridge in the background.

The one & only, Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The Lady herself, The Sydney Opera House.

One of my favourite shots so far.

Model, tourist, designer, model, designer. Oh - just the passing foot traffic ;)

A little layering, at dusk.

And well, Day Two has begun, so the lookbooks and goodies accumulated will have to be shared a little later.

Happy Tuesday!

Beautiful, and daunting.

Another belated edition of estilo sunday, found via The Served. Full of delicious retro glamour... sure to satisfy and inspire you all year long. Designed by Design Army, the following is for the Editorial spreads for the Winter/Spring 2012 cover story of Washingtonian Magazine's Bride & Groom issue.

I simply couldn't resist sharing the sumptuous pastel palette and old school feminine starlet beauty, gorgeous photography and classic clean, yet creative composition.

There's a little bit of Ginger Love going on here... don't know if you noticed ;P

estilo sunday

Style inspiration for me these days comes in the form of all things vintage, block colour, hues of blue and orange. Mustard and calico, tan and leather, tortoiseshell and Popular Penguins... and of course the odd luxurious sparkle. In one of my daily blog reads, I came across this video for Kate Spade, and instantly fell in love - with the short film, the fashion and accessories styling, the interiors... Ah! Team all of the above with New York and the whimsical tune of Soko, and you have this week's edition of estilo sunday. Right up my alley.

estilo sunday

I recently came across the most adorable attire, albeit for our feline friends, I had to share it with you.

From the wonderful CatAtelier, you too can dress up your little and not so little ones in the sensational styles created for the most sophisticated Aristocats. If you don't think your feline friend would tolerate such fashions, you can simply gush over the snaps below.

Darling, aren't they?

estilo sunday

Issued on your Monday, but nevertheless, the week's estilo Sunday greets you with the sweetest of fairytale inspired necklines.
For the innocent, the quirky and the alternative - here you have the Peter Pan collar. I can't get enough :: shopping all things Peter Pan collared as we speak. I can see my Autumn wardrobe having a little more of the whimsical touch, loaded with quirk.

 

Second star to the right, and straight on til morning?
