Looks i'm currently coveting...

LOVE her skirt.

 Effortless chic... And those shoes!

 The sleeves on this top are magical. And I love her bracelets!

All these outfits have elements I am currently coveting. From high waisted skirts to simple dresses and outfits with amazing shoes, silks and eye catching accessories to comfy summer tracksuit shorts and fine knit jumpers for those cool spring evenings.

My inner hippie...

Photos from: fade to black, christeric, they all hate us

There is a small part (ok, maybe not that small!) of me that loves everything hippie hippie shake... 

Tie dye, multi-coloured woven bags, cut off vintage Levis, layers of chains, rings and accessories, silk camies and kaftans.

Whilst I don't think that I can personally pull off this fabulous retro style all the time, this summer I think I will be embracing this very unique and delicate way of dressing and putting my own spin on it to hopefully get that care free, free-loving feel.

It's all about priorities.

Never a truer word spoken.

Leopard print...

So, whilst i've never been a huge fan of the animal print, the one place where it is timeless and there is always a place for it, is on shoes or accessories. Seeing the above images of fashionistas from NY Fashion Week and pics from  garry pepper vintage I am inspired to go out and find myself that perfect pair of leopard print heels... Or maybe more the wedge variety... Hmmmm decisions!

Rearrange...

I have been wanting to rearrange my room for a while now. I found these photos from Vanilla Scented the other day and they have inspired and spurred me on to do so... I was thinking this weekend I may have a go at it.
My room is certainly not as big as hers (so no sitting area) and unfortunately I don't have the luxury of wooden floorboards. However, I do have a window feature, high ceilings and white walls. I think what really grabbed my attention was her make shift walk in robe. I too do not have the luxury of a built in so, I thought the way she sectioned off the area was a great way to create that space.
Any other ideas or inspirations please let me know!

Oh Stevie

Oh Stevie.... What else really can one say about the beautiful, striking, cool and classic Stevie Dance, editor of Russh magazine. Who else could pair a classic white men's shirt with blue denim jeans and look SO effortless cool. One word... envious!

Stylein!

Last week was the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Stockholm. One of the labels strutting its stuff at the event was the Swedish fashion company Stylein. 

"All designs are inspired by the energies of life, which gives Stylein its unique expression - always with beautiful lines and rare details. Stylein’s vision is to bring out the inner beauty from the woman who wears its garments, allowing her to fully express her individual personality and femininity. She should easily be able to dress up or go for a more casual look, but always in Stylein".  

I absolutely adored its clean lines, simple ideas, cuts and colours and let's just say... I may be rocking out the bike shorts this summer!

My ideal shoe rack...

One day when I finally have my own home this is what I plan to construct to house and hold my shoe collection... Much better than the piles of boxes that currently occupy and sit on my bedroom floor!

Hands on!

late afternoon

I am in love with all things big at the moment. Particularly rings. Big, small and lots of them is definitely the way to go and is how i've always worn them. Some inspiration from my blog crushes.

Pretty as a picture.

All finally hung on the wall!

After seeing the girl in the bathing suit in another friends pictures, I knew I just had to have her. I look at her and she optimises everything that I see as free and beautiful. Once I tracked her down and looked at the rest of the works by the very talented Jessica Hyde, the other two prints were a must have also. I just couldn't help myself!

It has been a long time coming but I have finally put up these beautiful prints I bought oh so long ago. I love the white on white. Its so fresh and clean.

You can find Jessica's work at madeit.com.au or contact her through truth be told design.

Oh shucks! You shouldn't have!

(Sportsgirl 70's Mimmy Heel)

Recently hitting the Sportsgirl stores in a flurry or wood, studs, leather and suede was the the launch of their S/S10/11 shoes.  Now whilst it may have not been intentional, the shoe above has been fittingly called the 70's Mimmy Heel. Im thinking it's a sign. 

It is the must have heel for the coming summer. With its cross between clog, platform and heel and its versatility to be worn with a little summer dress during the day or with an oversized silk kaftan on a hot balmy night, I think it's fair to say this shoe may actually become a summer essential in my wardrobe.

Thanks SP! ;o)
