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!

Natsui love

I walked past the Elio Moda shop in Brisbane City and literally found love in the form of a beautiful pair of black suede lattice booties. The photo totally doesn't do it justice.

And an added perk - these shoes are by Australian designer Natsui. RRP $300. I can't afford them :( And although they are my love and the most perfect pair of heels i've ever seen, I'm going to resist, be a good girl, and hold back on this potentially lethal purchase.

Shoes

Uni is over for the semester!! Sorry I've been away guys :( I've had little sleep and my back is aching from poorly sitting at my desk trying to finish my final design project. It was a big one I'm not gonna lie. Anyway, cutting a long story short - I'd rather be in France...

(Like me here, in Versailles with my friend the swan)

So Uni's over and I haven't properly shopped in like, 3 weeks. I love shoes, have a little obsession. My sister and her friend had to clean my wardrobe out while I was away last year and sorted them all in their boxes .... Some of them:


But what I really is more shoes, (a girl can never have enough) - these Californian made Esquivel shoes...


Now I know they look a bit manly, and yes they probably are... but manly is totally in fashion right? Katie Holmes rocks boyfriend jeans - I've even seen Victoria Beckham in David's. Yes finally, comfy is in! So I like these shoes that are unusually cute - probably a few hundred dollars but I still want a pair. I'd figure out a way to wear them.

My jewellery box

And following on from my last post while I was photographing my neat little scarf collection I also took the liberty to take some nice shots of my favourite jewellery for you. As you know I love jewellery. (And yes I'm probably spelling jewellery wrong because it appears that my spell checker is telling me it's spelt jewelery but I think that's American spelling right?)

Anyway I'm going off track.... Have a look.

Watch: Calvin Klein (purchased in Los Angeles)
Rings: (L>R) a sixpence coin by Von Treskow , my favourite a bow by Stolen Girlfriends Club, gold with little diamonds from an ex-boyfriend, silver with stone from an old highschool boyfriend and a flower vintage one from Grandma
Earrings: Rose shaped, black stone (purchased in Barcelona)
Pendant: "T" from Mimco
Pearls: Mad Monnies (my Aunties bead shop)
Jade beads: Hong Kong (gift from an Aunty)

Scarvessss

Did I tell you I'm obsessed with scarves? Surely I would've? I have the biggest collection. I think in total there are about 25.... I have vintage scarves, new scarves, friends scarves, silk scarves, wool scarves. Scarves from Paris, Manchester, Madrid, Brisbane, Hong Kong and Thailand. Some of the high street labels include Oroton, Sportscraft and Diane Von Furtensburg. The list could go on. So without further ado I will show you these many scarves.


This one didn't make the group shot... I was wearing it. It's probably one of my favourites. I found it in a little vintage shop in Madrid, Spain.

Casio watches are so cool

I couldn't decide so I bought them both.... Hell, why not? They're so cheap and so damn cool!





And below is was the one I bought the last time - I love it!

All I have to say is:
Gemma Ward you do Australia proud.

I desire lace

I really want some lacey tights. They're such a cute way to add texture to an outfit this season and vastly gaining popularity. But I have an issue with paying a shit load for them considering they look so delicate and therefore get a run after an hour of wearing! The ones I've seen go up to $80 a pair and that's not even for a brand I am familiar with... So i'm on the hunt (feel free to make suggestions) for a nice, well priced pair of lace tights.

So far I've found...

(How HOT are these Emma Cook tights!! Ahh I want!) Source

(These Doo Ri tights have bling!) Source

(And I know this isn't lace but how sexy is that lace blouse. Wow I'm impressed by Roksanda Ilincic who I've never even heard of before now!) Source

(These are a little bit cute as well by Aquascutum) Source

(Oh yeah and this is just sexy. What a babe. Seriously this chic oozes hotness and that lace dress is a m a z i n g. Jill Stuart your Fall RTW collection is fantastic!) Source


And now it's not just the tights I want. Thanks to the New York Fall RTW 09 Runway looks for showing me all these wonderful outfits, I now have a desire for all things lace more than anything else. God help my credit card.
