About Me

My photo
Australia
My new outlook on fashion began with the first pair of Wayfarers that I'd purchased in LA. I then lived in Manchester for a while and grew to love the grungy alternative English style. Europe gave me a new perspective on fashion exposing me to styles such as the Spanish hippy and Parisian class. Now I feel more aware of looks, styles and trends and hope to explore those observations through this blog. Enjoy!

Leather rocks

I had the coolest outfit on today (if I do say so myself) ... I unfortunately didn't get a photo but I can try describe it to you...
- slightly faded black skinny jeans
- 1980s vintage cream loose vest-top, lace on front panels, capped sleeves, gold and cream buttons
- simple black leather biker vest
- black leather Mollini slim and short biker looking boots over jeans
- various leather bracelets and wrist trinkets, black stud earrings, two gold rings

It is my most favourite outfit thus far.... Oh and I got my bangs chopped back in (hair not redone thus bad regrowth). I had a few odd looks from my co-workers.... I guess I'm probably one of the more casual dressers of the office... I'm a regular jeans wearer. Either that or they don't quite fancy the new hair...

Anyway, enough blabble (yes, that's how i spell and say it too).
Here's to leather making a come back!

The Jackets
Both William Rast, Fall 09 RTW
(I couldn't decide they're both gorgeous!)


The Skirt
Michael Kors, Fall 09 RTW

The Pants
Jenni Kayne, Fall 09 RTW


I couldn't find a vest from a fall 09 collection... must get a photo of mine to put up (although it isn't designer, or new... but sometimes that isn't everything.)

Rastro market

Terribly sorry that my blog has been in limbo for a while... I've started my European trek and have lack of access to computers and such. I chose not to bring my laptop abroad (some may think I'm silly but why would I want to waste my time on the internet when I can be exploring a city).

Anyway so I have found some FANTASTIC places in Madrid, Spain. Places that only locals really know and that tourists don't come across. It helps when you're staying with locals.



Rastro Market (Embajordes) is ace for anything leather, jewellery, hippy clothes, scarfs, hats, general accessories and a bunch of other random things. Watch your bag - this place is a thieves playground. Sundays only - get involved.
