v8299

 

I have been waiting for this pattern to arrive for around three weeks, and today it came! It’s a discontinued pattern, which is why I had to order it online (from here) after Spotlight couldn’t sell it to me. This pattern would’ve only cost me around $20 in store, but it ended up costing me $35 including postage (it had to be shipped from Manhattan), which was a bit of a bummer…but it’s worth it! I’m making jacket B and I’ll post pictures of the finished product soon :)

Excuse the bad photos, they’re from my phone.

I’m sure you’ve seen Aurélie Bidermann’s lace jewellery before, but I had to post this. Sold out on Net-A-Porter, enough said!

Crystals suspended in pure resin, just wow!

This picture is from Face Hunter, I was immediately drawn to the chunky necklace and the letter tights. Those tights are gorgeous, I love sheer tights with dots, hearts, stripes… And her bag is a beautiful colour, deep blue leather :)

eye catching style

This editorial from Cosmopolitan February 2010 is really good if you need some tips (I do!) on mixing patterns to form gorgeous, punchy outfits :D Check it out here

lotsa shopping yesterday

Mollini Priscilla Shoes - $37.50

I really loved the purple patent of this shoe, and at $37.50 what was not to love? I also bought some summer clothes from Myer, from a new brand they’re stocking called One Tru Luv. There are still sales on, so go have some fun and get some retail therapy :)

I love capes, I’ve wanted one for ages now… Winter this year, I’m going to try and find a nice black one. :)

Until then, this picture is gorgeous and fulfils my criteria for a cape.
