ELLERY

Never underestimate an Aussie is what I've come to learn especially when it comes to Australian fashion week! One of the brands I have seriously come to love is ELLERY! It has pretty much made its name on being the go to brand for the "it" girl. What I love is that their pieces are modern but not that too in your face, futuristic stuff, its been done. Their stuff is subtle yet new, bold and soft, a harmony of opposites. Here are some snaps from their Summer 2012 show. 

Charlize on British Vogue

When I got this off the news-stand, I just stopped and stared for a little while. It wasn't that I am lost in thought stare, oh-no, it was that ogle, really nasty creepy guy stare. I think Charlize looks amazing, elegant, gorgeous and sexy all at the same time. Once a woman has mastered looking sexy and elegant at the same time she's made it in my opinion. What do you think of the cover?

My being MIA apology

As it does, life got in the way! I just logged in a realized that it has been over a month since my last post, and for that sincerest apologizes! Since I have been gone a lot has gone on and more of that will become apparent through the week!  In bitter-sweet news, my birthday was last week and it was great! But just FYI im going to start evoking the Samantha rule, I am forever going to be the age I turned 5 days ago, I will forever be 22. Yes, that is the deal.

Me (in the print pants) and my fabulous friends! 

Love what you do!

I don't want to sound all cliche and but seriously you gotta love what you do or your not going to get anywhere! We just had seven whole days of shooting a catalog and look book at work, long days, crazy hours, but loved every second of it! Basically, what I am trying to say is, love what you do, do what you love!

Tisci's Winner

 They say this is one Tisci's best collections yet, I don't know if it was the absolute best but is sure was  amazing! The key word for Riccardo this season was: tailoring, and a lot of it. Tisci brought in this play on the masculine and feminine with the manly-ish equestrian style played with the peplum (that are everywhere this season. The color palette was kept tight to neutrals and blacks however the pops of red were greatly welcomed. 


My favorite element was the play on the opposites. Feminine and masculine, dainty and heavy, and dark and bright. The full, busy frocks hanging from a dainty thin little strap. The black mixed in with the bright, rich vibrant reds, stunning Tisci! I heart for sure! 

Label Love: Maurie & Eve

How this label has been around since 2004 and this is the first I come across it? I have no idea. Maurie & Eve is brought to us by a trio of Aussie designers. More and more there seems to be some incredible talent down under! Maurie and Eve's pieces are all fashion forward yet extremely wearable! they have a very unique way of placing together fabric and color creating a beautiful end product. Who knew, they are available in the US, Japan, New Zealand, UK and Canada? Take a look at a few outfits I have come to love. Click here for the full lookbook.

Free People in Vietnam

Free People headed off to Vietnam to shoot their March lookbook and it is amazing! The contrast between the easy breezy clothes and the rundown exotic location is breathtaking. Photographed by Joshua Allen and Thomas Northcut. This is a sure way to make your lookbook stand out.
