blogging about these, but oh god they are GORGEOUS.

Raphael Young's wedges for Frank Tell.
"According to Frank, the collection was if Star Trek met the 1980s exploitation film, "Cannibal Holocaust""
Whoever thought that Star Trek could be so fashionable...? There are just no words to describe how gorgeous I think these are. I hope they'll be for sale somewhere in webspace (and within my budget...dream on?). I would die for it in that white or blue/gray colour. Mmmm.
Dress - Cantão, Shoes - Aldo, Bag - Chanel, Belt - mum bought, Rings - from Beijing
Ooh, look at me pull the sassy face! But this dress does that to me, I feel mature but still quite sexy and I adore the colour.
Cantão is a Brazillian brand, mum and I picked up this dress sometime last year at an amazing sale on Rathdowne, she has since gotten a few other pieces from them (when on sale) and their pieces are always so beautifully bright and festive.
But this dress is now prominently mine, rather than mum's although she has worn it out a couple of times as well.
I have also started getting a lot more use out of my Chanel bag lately, it's so easy to treat it as a precious thing, but if it stays locked up in it's box, what's the point of having bought it?! I'm always amazed at how much I can squeeze into it...boys will never understand it's worth.
So popped out last night with Brad for dinner and then drinks with his friend. Was surprisingly comfortable in walking around in the heels all night, although the toes were a weeeee bit squished by the time I got home.
The price of fashion hey?
SO! Because I changed my e-mail recently, I totally forgot to sign up for Missy Confidential again and nearly missed that there was a Sass and Bide warehouse sale over this weekend!
OH THE HORROR!
But fortunately I made it in today and picked up a few pieces at an absolute bargain!
I remembered eye-ing off this skirt in David Jones when it was new. Got it for $20! Think I'll probably wear it with a white shirt and my knee high boots or something...
I'd been looking for the perfect blue jean, and whilst I originally had a skinny in mind, these flares are just amazing. $30 as well. WHAAT?!
Mum found this cute lil dress/top (she plans to wear it as a top, and I as a mini dress) which we snatched up for $20! I think for winter I'll wear it with my black milk leggings...<3
I also got a pair of cropped leopard print rats leggings, which I have always thought were pretty ugly as leggings go, but mum convinced me to slip them on under my mini and I think if worn with a pair of knee high boots, would be pretty cute this winter. And hey, they were only $10. Why not? I'm not sure where my mum put them, otherwise I'd have grabbed a picture of them too.
Since mum's come home I find myself eating a lot more again, which kinda sucks cause my Dad just brought back some of my clothes that I left in the Philippines, which include a bunch of beautiful high waisted skirts which are fitting just right at the moment....*siiigh* to be a woman.
Ah well. At least I got a great steal today! <3
Shirt - White Verve, Shorts - Very Very, Tights - Mark and Spencer, Scarf - Banana Republic
Just imagine this outfit with some knee high boots, I was too lazy to put them back on for the photo. :]
This is one of the beautiful tops I bought when I was in Sydney last weekend. White Verve is a Sydney brand, and a very young one at that having only started up a year or so ago (according to the shop assistant), the designer was designing for Ladakah and the like before starting up on her own.
What else is really cool about the brand though, is that with each season they choose a cause or organization that supports underprivileged women to contribute to, with each purchase of one of their pieces. I love that a young Australian brand is doing this, as I suppose it's a little more typical of the big names to do so, but the women that White Verve support are a little more unique.
You can find out more here.
But yes, I love this top, I feel very girly and sweet when I wear it and I love the details on the front and the back, the sequins are so subtle and adorable! There were chains hanging off the ends of the sleeves but I ended cutting them off because they just got in the way...
It was a glorious 19 degrees in Melbourne again and I spent most of my day sitting outside talking. Lovin it.
Dress - Thakoon for Target, Jacket - MaxMara, Boots - Tony Bianco, Belt - Miss Sixty
After spending a weekend in Sydney where it was quite a delightful 27 degrees, I am actually more than happy to be back home in Melbourne where it is a very jacket-cosy-ingly 19 degrees.
I love my jackets, I love my boots, I love warm cups of hot chai in cute cafes.
Pinched mum's jacket out today, since it was delightfully cold enough to do so, it makes me feel kinda European. Must be the boots as well.
And usually I hate doing buttons on shirts and dresses up all the way, I mean hey, I am a girl, might as well make use of my assets a little, but I was surprised at how cute I found this dress was all done up.
And have I mentioned I love dresses with pockets before?
Or well if I haven't I do and this dress has them. Looooooove.
Jacket - Anne Klein, Vest - Sambags, Shirt - Altered Ralph Lauren, Skirt - Hollister, Shoes - Aldo, Socks - From Tokyo, Bag - Chanel
I'm obsessed with Michael Buble's song 'Lost' at the moment. So pretty. <3
For having almost absolutely no sleep last night, I think I managed to put together a very cute outfit today!
I got this men's Ralph Lauren shirt adjusted to fit me a little bit better. It's one of my favourite pieces I think.
So today I took my Grandma out for a brunch, hence why I decided to take my Chanel bag out for a run since it was Grandma who got it for me for Christmas. :] I really do need to get more wear out of this bag!
Had another little coffee date today, that went well, that always puts one in a good mood no matter how tired they are hey? :]
