Sometimes it’s great to mix bold flashes of colour, or clash completely different patterns for a little visual interest. I’ll be honest... I prefer to stick to my basics of black, charcoal grey, navy and tan. Instead of venturing out into the bright and sometimes confronting world of vivid colour. But with these outfits in mind, I’m willing to give colour a red hot go!

Burberry’s Fall Campaign (Preview)

The Burberry models, including Rosie Huntingon-Whiteley, are looking very stylish in an array of sharp military blazers, crumpled trenches and soft shearling and fur jackets. I would kill for one of those navy blazers with gold buttons!

Finally back to a stable computer situation, which is fabulous! So expect in the future a post a day (to keep the doctor away!).
In the 13 degree Celsius Winter weather, I am craving being able to wear shorts! I don’t know many Victorians that aren’t dying for warm weather.
But let’s focus on the details of these outfits:

1

First off, the colour combination, peach and red, is one that I don’t think many people would contemplate wearing. But it definitely works effectively! Also notice the designer accessories; the Chanel clutch, the Hermes bracelet.

2

When is Emma Watson ever unstylishly dressed? Her corset top and shorts combination works very well. And I especially adore the olive green and black print on the corset top!

3

Alexa is also equipped with fashionable accessories. Her bag and shoes are super cute; ballerina flats with 3 buckles with a little hardware and a gorgeously shaped bag in a very current animal print. (I need to invest in a bag that is the same shape!)

Maryna Linchuk back in ‘06. I’m feeling very inspired by red lately: blood red lipstick, a wine hued blouse, patent red peep toes. Or...

My posting has been horrible over the past few days, and I apologise for that. It’s taking me forever to load and download images, because of a really slow computer (the laptop broke).

Anyway, you gotta love a red blazer, eh?

Black and white and all the neutral shades in between. Aren’t they just the coolest shoes you’ve ever seen?

Pure whimsy from Betsy Johnson, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana and 3.1 Phillip Lim. I love the oversized tulle headpieces, very cute! And the Alexis Bittar jewellery really adds to the over-the-top atmosphere.

Balenciaga... just brilliant! Love the retro, vintage-y look of the 2011 resort collection and I would kill for one of those bags!

<3:

  • That teddy bear backpack
  • Alexa Chung’s blazer/dress (it’s a fabulous colour and cut!)
  • Chocolate coloured, snakeskin Miu Mius
  • A tailored and beautiful jacket from 1951, I love the lapels and the button details especially.

I feel like I haven’t posted an editorial in ages...
I love this one for its soft colours and natural light, just gorgeous.

A great weekend is beckoning: a performance of Coppelia by the Australian Ballet on Saturday, Richmond vs West Coast on Sunday, and pure relaxation on Monday (Thanks Elizabeth II for the public holiday!).
Have a good weekend!

Just a very quick "Thursday the Random" post. Some very accessible streetstyle, and what Luxirare is working on at the moment. Fabulous!
And guess what? Exams are out! *Breathes a sigh of relief*
See you tomorrow!
