Zebra in NYC

How cool does Garance look!

Goodbyes suck

Got back from a week in Hong Kong with my family last Wednesday and as usual was a complete emotional wreck after the inevitable goodbyes. It was actually worse than usual this time as everything's so up in the air for me at the moment. Anyway, I had a wonderful time and took a picture or two when the humidity hadn't totally fogged up my lens. Speaking of lenses I got a sexy 50mm from my folks for my birthday which I will be practicing with over the coming weeks so I'm a pro by the time I head to Italy in July! Yes, that's right, I'm heading back to Italy, this time to the north with my mate Nicola then to meet my sis Mad for some Amalfi fun, yay! PS. I love this chick's sandals. I think they'd look great on me as I hoon around the Italian coast on my Vespa. He he. x

Art of the Trench

It's Spring now - in my book anyway, I don't get these crazy Brits! - so along with a million other punters I am on the hunt for the perfect trench coat. Alright so clearly there is only one place to go for the perfect trench and you know as well as me that I ain't setting foot in there! But I still want one that's classic and cut well so tips would be muchly appreciated trenchlovers! I've never actually owned a trench but this time each year I get trench envy when the sophisticated outer garment pops up with the daffodils in the commons. And Burberry's Art Of The Trench project has given me extra inspiration to buy one this time around! In their words the project is a living document of the trench coat and the people who wear it. It is a collaboration between Burberry and some of the world's leading photographers. The dedicated website will feature a series of specially commissioned trench portraits by fashion and street style snappers starting off with The Satorialist's Scott Schuman aka Garance's fella. The photos above are from this collection - cool huh! Maybe if I pick up my trench now I can join the trench coat hall of fame!! Check it out here.

Seeing red

I had my eye on a gorgeous red silk dress from David Lawrence when I was in Australia but I couldn't find it in my size at the store I was at as it was on sale. So I forgot about it. Then I saw this photograph, taken by Scott Schuman aka the Satorialist at Rio fashion week, and all of a sudden I had to have that dress. I hauled up the list of stores on the David Lawrence website and called every one until I found my size - I think got the last dress in Sydney! Then I hot-footed it over to pick it up and wore it out that night. Yahoo! There's nothing like a red dress to make you feel a bit spesh. Obviously a Brazilian-esque tan like the one above always helps! x

Snap, crackle, pop

I know the socks with sandals thing is generally a no-no but despite that I really love this look. I can't get enough of these low slung cuffed trousers at the moment and the shearling gilet is also fabulous but it's the colour pop of the yellow clutch that I adore!! Have a great weekend everyone. x
