I hear you Sequin Harvest...

This morning, my blogger subscription emails indicated that one of my favourite bloggers also had the belief that heels with ankle straps have always had the unflattering stigma.

I have steered clear of this style shoes for more years than I can remember!

Inherently, they were an absolute faux pas in my mind...until trés recently.

I even received some in the mail today that I had purchased only a few days ago...it was with much reluctance but I just couldn't resist a pair of Manolos!

Crazy about Maison Martin Margiela ...

Just loving these tasseled booties, perfect for Sydney's not so cold, not too warm climate we've been experiencing lately. Must get to Bergdorfs!

The New Carrie...

AnnaSophia Robb in the SATC spinoff- The Carrie Diaries.

It’s difficult not to get a little excited to dive into another SATC craze. And how gorgeous is this girl.

Whether the films disappointed you (like they did me) who cares..it’s more about the fashion than anything else isnt it? (sorry writers)

being florally inspired..

We have had distressed, torn, dark, light, cropped, studded, painted, slim fit, flared and bootlegged…but now its all about prints and floral’s.

Its all about injecting some flora in our everyday lives, and I cant think of anything better than slipping on a pair of girly printed pants before a mundane day at the office.

With so many prints and colour combos out there, its hard not to find a pair for even fashion connoisseur.

What are your thoughts on this new trend?

Love,

being inspired..

As an avid reader, to me, there is nothing better than a room full of books.

I can not wait to buy a home where I can build a library, reading nook or having a beautiful display or books in floor to ceiling shelves like some of these homes.

Until then, I can gather all sorts of inspiration..

Love,

Everytime I watch Gossip Girl, I am reminded how jealous I am of Serena’s bedroom. So simple really, perfect lemony hues and pop of black. Its neutral-esque but totally girly and contemporary all in one. Just LOVE!

The rain in Sydney hasn't ceased in days.

I have that never ending wet & grubby feeling you get when your heels and trousers are soaked which makes you want to run home get into a hot shower then rug up with a hot chocolate and good book! Habitually Chic blog makes me want to get home even faster, these beautiful homes are chic & just exude warmth. Just love...
