Resort 2010: Rag & Bone

I haven't been particularly excited by the Resort collections so far, but Rag & Bone's I like! Very very wearable but still cool and different. Drop crotch cashmere thermal leggings?!?!? Yes please. Love the inky colours used too. Varying denim shades, soft grey and sharp black. So my go to palette.

6/05/09: Net-A-Porter & The Outnet

I always find myself going back to the colour combination of white, cream, denim blue and soft brown - especially when I can't think what to wear. Its just casual enough but chic at the same time, and soft but not do girly. And you can wear a bunch of different shades but never clash. 100% failsafe. Actually I've pretty much got stuff like this to put on after the gym this mornin (Karen Walker acid wash skinnys, cream cashmere tshirt, tan leather jacket). Must have had this in the back of my mind last night when packing!

Clockwise from top: Stella McCartney Canvas waist belt, Elle Macpherson Intimates Boudoir Silk and Lace boudoir briefs, Celine 'Watch Me Mirror' shoulder bag, Camilla and Marc Jessica high waist skirt, J Brand Bleached ripped jeans, Chloe Perspex panel platform sandals, Stella McCartney Mesh Basket sandals, Halston Suede shoulder bag, Celestina Singkwent y Siete necklace, Current/Elliott The Skinny Tie-Dye jeans. Center: Superfine Skinny leg blue jeans.

To Sir With Love

So my parents pretty much created a monster when they gave me a couple of hand-me-down cashmere jumpers a few years ago. Have lived in them ever since - one has the holes to prove it. And now unfortunately I am tres fussy with knitwear; I hardler ever buy any merino or wool-blends as they are always too itchy but I just can't afford some new cashmere. 

However as I am in dire need of a new jumper I'm considering biting the bullet and investing - recessions are all about "timeless investment pieces" are they not? Def want some of the To Sir With Love that I lust over every time I go into Karen Walker. Adore the simple v-necks, the classic stripes and the dusky pinks.

I die for all of this. I can think of a million amazing combinations of these - would never be at a loss of what to wear out. Sequins, zips, lace, suede, cashmere, blazers. Heaven.

Weather Confusion

The weather is crazy today! Super windy and humid; and one minute its cold and the next crazy hot! V typical Auckland weather - was a mission to get dressed today. Have found a good solution though, lovely black cashmere t-shirt (vintage mummy - merci mama!) comfy and just warm enough, without having to layer. Looks good with my Karen Walker acid wash skinny jeans too (they are quite hard to style, as they are pretty intense - and I live in the boring suburbs!)
