Paper Skye Pleated Maxi Dress - Belle Bijoux Woven Bag - DITA Sunglasses - Alexi Freeman Sequined Leggings - Therapy Shoes Big Ben Boots

I realised this morning on my rainy way to uni that I never share what I wore to the last day of RAFW (by which I was well and truly a mess in a corner - clad in sequins nonetheless). The combination of the sheer Paper Skye pleat glory and sequined legs by Alexi Freeman was probably the most fun I've had in an ensemble in a long time. Who doesn't love passer-by double takes - "Margaret... why are you sparkling?" - and billowing skirts?






Thanks so much to Nicole for snapping these for me!

And some extras thanks to Miss Zanita and Nicole respectively:




How was everyone's start to the week? Sydney decided to have a massive cry on the day I decided to wear a wool cape. Good times.

Shakuhachi SS11/12.

Sorry about the brief hiatus, friends - This past weekend has been mainly preoccupied with turning 18 (why yes I do feel old)!

So here we go - a belated love declaration for one of my favourite collections at fashion week. Shakuhachi's subtle elegances in the form of laser-cutting (swooning over those shorts), carefully arranged sequins, and crystal clusters on sheers, definitely had a slightly hypnotic effect. Another result of the show has been some wonderfully sun-inclined colour-blocking between neutrals and turquoise. I won't survive Summer 2012 without that blue.

Check out more on the Facebook Page!

And thank you all for your sweet birthday emails and tweets! I'll see if I can get some photos up soon :)

MINKPINK Boat That Rocked Pea Coat from Market HQ - MINKPINK Stockholm Syndrome Shirt from Market HQ - Dotti Burgundy Wide Leg Pants - Therapy Shoes Tower Heels in Taupe Suede - Angus & Coote Studs

Why yes, I have been liking the idea of all-one-colour for the past couple of weeks. And yes I did just throw together some distant cousin of a coloured pantsuit in a clash of textures. These Dotti wide-legs are definitely among the most incredible pants I've ever had the pleasure of floating about in, regardless of their overwhelming tendency to billow as you stroll. I've been loving the double collar effect of wearing a shirt and a blazer recently as well - please expect to see a lot more of this.

Thanks.

Thank you all so much for the sweet words about the DOLLY feature - it really does mean so much!! And a shout out to those of you who I've met while in many a chai-latte line around uni over the past week and a half! It's always so much fun to meet readers away from the computer :)

Make sure you're tweeting, Bloglovin' and Like-ing daily!

P.S. much love to dearest Mother for the beautiful early birthday earrings

DOLLY.

Over the past week or so I've been a sweet number of email about my little feature in DOLLY Magazine's June Issue, so I thought (for those of you in places elsewhere in the world), that I'd do a happy scan and snap for you to peruse at your leisure. It was such a pleasure meeting the team and the other girls at the studio - definitely had a lot of fun: huge thanks to the ladies at DOLLY!

P.S. Don't forget to swing by the Facebook Page if you get the chance!

Paper Skye SS11/12.

Photos thanks to Dean Hargreaves

I'm fairly sure I've showed you 5001 bits and pieces of the Paper Skye collection I styled/shot/loved at RAFW, but I don't remember showing you the actual runway photos. So, thank you to the super talented (and efficient) Mr Dean Hargreaves, here are some snaps of the stunning collection (if I haven't said it enough). Although it's a while away, I'll definitely keep you all updated on when these babies hit stores (a dance around a change room in some of that chiffon is definitely worth a go).

P.S. thank you all for your sweet emails about my feature in DOLLY Magazine! I'll put up a scan tonight, I promise :)

DITA Eyewear x Shine By Three.

Those of you who've been wandering these areas for a while, you'll remember that I shot and styled DITA Eyewear's latest collection of sunglasses and opticals towards the end of last year (be sure to check out my behind-the-scenes video HERE if you haven't already - best day: I do like to relive it from time to time).

I'm so excited to be able to share these final shots with you all (at long last) and I do hope you enjoy them! DITA glasses lent themselves so well to the insane warehouse, my bizarre ideas and stunning models Victoria Halkeas and Beatrice McBride.

Models: Victoria Halkeas, Beatrice McBride

Photography: Margaret Zhang

Styling: Margaret Zhang

Assisting: Katerina Halkeas

It's such an honour to work with such a wonderful label in eyewear that I really believe in (as well as having a ridiculous following in the likes of Brad Pitt, Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Lenny Kravitz, Eva Mendez, Dita Von Teese... and it goes on). As you can probably tell by my Fashion Week eyewear adventures, I'm definitely a fan of the new collection (which has the most wonderful shapes to suit the widest range of faces).



A huge thanks also to the wonderful ladies of Bespoke PR! Much love your way.

P.S. Thank you all for your sweet well wishes for a now 2-yr-old blog :) So much love your way. Have a fantastic (and safe) weekend!

*love*
