Frosting

I've started thinking about New Years Eve outfits and become slightly obsessed with these Dannijo crystal neckpieces. Divine. The creators, Dannielle and Jodie Snyder are both featured on The Coveteur at the moment and their NYC apartments are amazing.. definitely worth a look x

I'm loving these different navy textiles for AW 2012 that Sass and Bide have presented in their lookbook and runway. I'm seeing the above jacket paired back with a clean white outfit and the navy sequined pant suit worn as seen on the runway... head to toe with a great pair of heels.

Chasing After Deer

Laurence Dacade Merli in Nude

The perfect autumn boot for Brisbane.

Maddening Cloud

Mania Mania Invocation Necklace

I'm usually only about the statement jewelry, however today this little Mania Mania brass chain mail necklace captured my heart. I'll be wearing this all summer with everything from my cotton sundresses to silk cocktail pieces.

Whimsy and Wonder

A little preview of a shoot I styled for Boxvintage earlier this year. The talent is of course the stunning duo of Emma Sparks and Chelsea Graver (both Viviens), and photography by Matt Rabbidge.

Belle

My love for this collection by QUT graduate Kirsty Glynn came as no surprise, given my current obsession with pure white outfits. Despite the colonial influences evident in Kirsty's collection, the attention to detail and texture in this incredibly puristic collection presented the pieces as fresh and modern. There was not a single piece that wouldn't fit into my wardrobe straight away! The opening dress, as worn by my beautiful friend Chelsea Graver, is definitely a priority for my summer shopping list.

Westfall

I attended the QUT Fashion Graduate Showcase last week and yet again came away very excited about the potential of some of Brisbane's emerging design talent. I'm keen to snap up a few pieces from a few of the designers, including above, Clea Prentice's Western inspired collection. This baby blue cotton dress will be perfect for Autumn with some boots and a fur vest.

Indulgence

Zimmermann released the lookbook for Autumn Winter 2012 today (see the entirety here at Marie Claire). The collection, Rebellion is the Night, features Nicky Zimmermann's stunning signature prints and feminine silhouettes. The silk faille floral suiting will be divine, as will the delicate lace pieces. I can't wait to see this in stores early next year.

All That Glitters

Robert Clergerie Nicosu Boot - perfect for the festive season.

Treasure Hunt

I'm very excited at the new Molten Relic collection, launched today online as the in house line for the ever alluring Molten Store. The neckpieces are my personal favorites, however I'm thinking the stunning crystal and sterling silver rings and beaded clutches will make great Christmas gifts for my girlfriends.

Divinity

Sydney based stylist Romy Frydman's impeccable taste always delights me, however this most recent shoot for Remix magazine is particularly alluring. Shot by Derek Henderson, she pulls together a stunning collection of Australian and international designers. My favorite shot is the above, featuring a peek at a piece from Zimmermann's Autumn Winter 2012 collection. How stunning is this blouse! I can't wait to see it in store.

Green Out

Sass and Bide Humble Beginnings Pant
Barnett 'Tombraider' neckpiece

Topshop Podium Platform Heels in Green

Lusting after green at the moment. Seeing it in my wardrobe paired back with white, fresh and crisp for the warmer months ahead.

Summer Haze

All I can think about is layered white pieces for summer! Zimmermann's Halcyon Days collection caters to my dreams perfectly. My current plans for payday this fortnight include the above..

1. Zimmermann Bon Bon Swing Dress

2. Zimmermann Idyllic Brunch Coat

3. Zimmermann Idyllic Lace Splice Duster

Dynasty

I'm absolutely breathtaken at the results of this collaboration between the fabulous Mr Thom Kerr and my beautiful friend Paula Walden. Paula's new collection 'Dynasty' is what I'm picturing with every outfit for next season - there's not a single piece here that I can't imagine wearing. The gorgeous model is Anthea @ Busy Models, and hair and makeup by Lauren McCowan.

The Birds

I fell in love with this print and recently purchased these Sass and Bide pants.. branching out from my skirts and blouses/dresses routine! These are the first pair of pants I've bought in four years. Let's see how they fare over the summer in my wardrobe...

So I've been a terribly slack blogger of late! Photoshoots and work has been keeping me busy.. here's a little preview of a project I've been working at on and off for the last 12 months. Luke Mansini is an incredibly talented musician, artist and all round amazing creative individual. This is a peek at part of the epic shoots we have been working on to launch his solo project MANSINI. Keep your eyes peeled ladies and gentlemen, Luke is definitely one to watch.

In Bloom

The stunning Fleur Headdress in red designed and worn by the ever beautiful Paula Walden.

Feels Like Heaven

I'm terribly inspired and excited to see the growth of last years QUT fashion graduates in their first year out. One such talent is my old housemate, Holly Ryan. She has really come into her own with her latest collection for Spring Summer 2011/2012, Si no es ahora entonces cuando (Spanish for 'If not now then when?'). Every single piece in beautiful sterling silver is absolutely lustworthy, and should without a doubt be worn altogether. The collection will be available at iconic Brisbane boutique, Blonde Venus.

Slip Slidin Away

I'm so obsessed with burgundy leather at the moment; just ordered a pair of suede wedges in this beautiful shade and I think these Topshop boots will be next.

Hiatus

Mr Mini Fill n Zip Dip

Mr Panther

Mr Belay

Deadly Ponies Okapi Rider

Loving everything, as per usual, but particularly these three new shapes.

The Clash

Zimmermann Buckle sandal in Turqoise

I'm getting really excited about the summer collections about to hit stores, and particularly loving bright shoes to go with clashing prints for the coming warmer months.
