Something Else - Spring 09

More from the Aussies - I'm loving the darker collection from Something Else. The dresses look supremely comfortable - particuarly love the simple grey t-shirt topped one. Also totally digging that graphic tee - v Pink Floyd. The layered necklaces are a great touch too - I think I need to load even more around my neck for summer.

Topshop Hearts NZ!!!

So all the fashion fiends I know are tripping over the news that the mighty TopShop is now shipping to little old New Zealand. This is to be a total killer to my bank balance.

I love these shots from there latest look book; the rough knits and metallics, fine prints and colours that are all slightly off and muddy. And am dying for those hot-as-hell leopard booties.

Sequined pants are, of course, totally choice.

As I usually always refrained from torturing myself with the TopShop website, the minute I heard the news I jumped on line and started compiling a wish list. Top of it is definitely these booties; cute, classic, a bit weird - and totally "needed" for my poor problem feet.

There are also some killer cross-body bags; a style I'm loving at the moment. Being "Hands Free" is liberating.

Left to Right: Barrel Cross Body Bag, Chainmail Hard Heart Bag, Leather Stud Cross Body Bag, 

As you know, I'm not usually a skirt girl - but these are definitely tempting. Love the rugged, shredded, washed out denims. Likewise the pyramid studs. I love tight little skirts paired with great big mens shirts and tees.

Left to Right: Denim Quilted Body Con Skirt, Triangle Gem Pelmet Skirt, Ripped Denim Bodycon Skirt,  

Even some dresses took my fancy (I know!! I'm actually getting more into them of late, we shall see how this progresses in the coming weeks).

Left to Right: Ripped Denim Dress, Denim Ruffle Dress, Lace Zip Front Dress,  

And as I'm always a fiend for a good jacket - both classic and pimped out - these obviously tickled my fancy.

Left to Right: Premium Double Breasted Blazer, Sequin Biker Jacket, Jersey Boyfriend Blazer.

Dress Up

So I seriously need some fun going out dresses.. Had a massive outfit meltdown while getting dressed on saturday night; tears, insecurity, the works - classic Dumb Girl moment. Something must be done.

I really want something with sleeves - as my total lack of circulation means I feel the cold terribly. I want sparkles, metallic, lace, details and monochrome.
