Stellar Elegance: Christopher Kane, Resort 2011

I thought I had digital starscape print fatigue, that is until I saw Christopher Kane's Resort 11 Collection- Holy moly! The spapes- the colour- and general awesomeness!

I want every single piece!

My fav without doubt is the Georgette Rah Rah dress..

My second favourite is this Organza Babydoll dress.

And everything else - love love love!!

So, it's obvious, but Im really into this length!
bring it on CK..

New MJ Helena

Whilst I've been culling wardrobes, Lp's been turning our garden into a weed-free wonderland.

Clearly this photo made it in the nick of time, let's call it a historical document of a bygone era, and never to be repeated (hehe, let's hope- we're planning an organic veggie garden, yay!)

This is my new Marc by Marc Jacobs Helena Bag,
Worn with Metalicus aztec wrap top worn as a long cardigan, Fleur wood dress and Bloch flats.

Holiday Clean up CULL

Today I undertook a MAMMOTH task.. I would say it was Monsterous, messy and massively time consuming! I did the dreaded MAJOR wardrobe cull.

It feels like I cull often - but ebay and the odd Charity shop run doesn't really count in the grand scheme of things.

With muliple wardrobes filled beyond capacity, spilling out into our bedroom and forcing me into a claustrophobic realisation that I need to change my ways- I undertook the biggest clothes cleanout in YEARS.

This resulted in four ruthless piles- The Loved, The Semi-Loved (aka 'The Space Bagged'- such fun!), The Op Shopped and The Binned, becomming today's main focus.

here's a new fav- Zimmerman Maxi Scalloped Dress.
This is in The Loved wardrobe.

Here's another organised space, with moderate pickings.

One dress that came to my attention, that I'd largely forgotten, was this gorgeous Fleur Wood Maxi...
It reminded me why I hate buying dry cleanable clothes so much.
One night worn, and a $29 visit due.
Damn carrying a cake on a very sensible, sober night in this number.

see the cake spots! damnit.

I hung a new Fleur Wood top in the window, just for a pretty shot..

Esp, as I think I may end up selling it. I just don't know what to wear it with.

Likewise i think this Gorman Lovely I've never worn may be off to ebayland..
So gorgeous, so beautifully made, such great fabric... and yet so DAMN UNFLATTERING.
I've held onto it hoping, but this cull has made me face it's destiny.

In the washup, I realised I need to try and keep those closets clean! So I went for a stroll and picked up some jewellery.

Sass and Bide make me so mad.. I have been wanting this Cage necklace for SO LONG, but it appeared to be sold out (granted I never asked!). I almost collapsed when I walked into the Chapel St Store today to find it on sale for $90. I forgot my ebay searching stress in an instance and snapped it up immediately. yay!

I also popped into Mimco and bought myself a couple of treats.


The Ivory Kinship Bracelet & the Dauphine Wrist Bracelet bracelet in pastel chains.


I also snuck in these adorable shades of Kit nailpolish.. I planned to use the yellow on my toes the moment I got home, then it suddenly occured to me the shade was not dissimilar to cheesy fungas-y associations- brought to my attention by my dear husband.

So instead, I went yella nails & purple toes. An hommage to my schooldays.

Cheaply done - Liberty

I have never gotten over passing by the Liberty by Cacharel range in Liberty last London Summer. Well, I did buy a singlet, however I missed out on the bulk of the collection (arriving well into sale season in 2009 with very little stock left!)

As a result, I've been subconsiously searching for substitutes since, and I thought this dress came pretty close. I resisted it once, twice, three times into sale... (the reason being it came from Sussan!) But then i bought it at about 60% off and am pretty happy.

It's too big (the bust may be a lil baggy & voluminous), but conjures up the image of Liberty then, now and always. I will always love liberty (and libertyesque) print. ALWAYS !!!

Worn with Kookai Cardigan, MJ Bootie sandals, Sportsgirl Belt & House of Harlow necklace.

Matina Amanita

Jewellery by Sretsis's Matina Sukhahuta.

(just added to the Christmas Wishlist!)

Mimco studs

My new Mimco Clear Studded Bracelet.

Biscuits by the Bretheran.

I picked up this bizarre 3D 1973 Sedan Biscuit tin this week, made by the Exclusive Bretheran at Macs Shortbread biscuits, in Kerang.

It's weird.. I mean, I love this tin- it's one of the most amazing biscuit tins I've ever seen, and I've never (ever) had an interest in biscuit tins!


But I have questions. Who is regularly shopping for shortbread from the Bretheran that is going to choose this tin? Why do they have so many of this tin? There is a whole series of tins with old (awesome) 70s cars on uninspired backgrounds. How do they choose the designs for their tins? Clearly this is selling. I guess I have more in common with the Bretheran that I thought- an aesthetic for biscuit tins!
