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.

About A Girl

There's something alluringly fresh and relaxed about this editorial. The models wears the clothes (rather than vice versa); the damp looking, brushed back hair looks charmingly low key and boyish; and the golden afternoon light is just beautiful and natural.

I love the oversized cream blazer that both complements and juxtaposes the elegant pleated skirt - which is very much making me think of the Juliette Hogan one I put on layby on the weekend. And hello Chanel high tops. 

These two shots are my absolute favorites. Maybe I'm just buzzing from Coco Avant Chanel - which I saw on the weekend - and these remind me of her. The big mans coat and the black bowler. 
Also loving the lush greenery of these.
And that coat really is too perfect. A big, oversized, masculine camel coat so iconic and timeless.

New Goodies: Tv and Tweed

Picked up my Tv leopard merino leggings from Black Box yesterday. They are HEAVENLY. So unbelievably warm and comfortable - and surprisingly super wearable. The colours of taupe, grey and black means they go with pretty much everything.

On a cheaper note, I hit up my local salvo shop as well and got an amazing purple/grey/tan tweed oversized blazer for a cool $10. Super comfy and warm and with magically deep pockets. Handbag not required.

And I know these will def not be to everyones taste (my lil sister grimaced when I pulled them out of the bag) but i love these. Super cute!!! V similar to a pair I had when I was a kid. And $4... So I could not say no. 
Have been loving socks lately too - they are keeping my poor scrawny midget feet warm!

Chloe does Chloe

Our girl Chloe Sevigny has been nocking it out of the park lately - helped by some amazing pieces for the other Chloe.  I love those scallop edged blazers more and more every time I see them (even though I fell head over heels the minute they came out on the Spring runway). Also love Sevigny's Acne look on the far right - especially the hair (it divided people a tad from the sounds of it). The thing I love most about Sevigny is that she always looks relaxed, comfortable and like herself. But has fun with clothes and pushes the boundaries without looking contrived or forced. And she never looks over done.
