Factorie for Australia's Next Top Model Tan Crop Jacket - Penny Anne Lace Slip over BONDS Singlet - ModCloth.com Portable Pocket Belt - Mister Zimi Maxi skirt - Bardot Boots - Just Gorgeous Gifts Melko Rose Leather Cuff


Margaret not in heels? What is this! To be fair I actually wear these Bardot boots so much more than has been evident - they have a wonderful wraparound strap and buttery soft leather that molds itself to your mood. Not lying.

The minute I pulled this Factorie x ANTM blazer out of the box, all I could think of was Woodstock, so hopefully that came through in this little ensemble. I'm very much a fan of the tan-navy colour combination. Almost as much as tan-burgundy, tan-turquoise and tan-red... Needless to say, this blazer is set to be worn to death for its colour as well as its surprising roominess and lightweight softness.







P.S. so glad you all liked my Castañer x The Fable Collective behind the scenes video! Judging by the emails, I'll have to do videos more often?

P.P.S. Another giveaway happening very soon :) bum-ba-dum-bum-dum

P.P.P.S. While we're at the postscripts, how about heading over to the Shine By Three Facebook Page :)

Romeo's boyfriend.

MINKPINK Stockholm Syndrome Shirt in Plum from Market HQ - f.rau Scrunch-dye Zipper Jeans - Tony Bianco Dodge Boots in Ash Suede - Penny Anne Lace Camisole - Cristiana Bracelets - La Dama Knit Rosary - RIMMEL London 60 Seconds Nail Polish in Chocolate Fountain (540)

The idea today, in retrospect, is an unkempt take on the whole boyfriend silhouette.

Despite the fact that these jeans are about three sizes too big for me, I still insist on wearing them. That's how much I love them. The smart thing to do would be to get them tailored... but I uni has killed a significant number of my logical brain cells. So until they come back, I will continue to wear them hiked up, belted up, whatevered up.

What I actually love most about this new favourite shirt of mine is that it, with the cuffs unbuttoned, takes on an interesting Romeo shape. On top of that, it's ever so slightly sheer - enough to see (obviously not in these photos... damned overcast) the staple Penny Anne lace cami that has become attached to me... and is ever-so-slightly peeking out the top there with my knit rosary.





Mmmm gotta love motion blur. Sadly, that's what happened when I refused to use flash as the sun went down. I mean what? There was no sun today. Autumn has well and truly landed :)

Back in the Swing.

Cotton On Striped Tee - Penny Anne Floral Maxi - Tony Bianco Dodge Boots - Vintage Bag - Does Not Equal Cross Ring - YDELTUYT Chunky Stone Bracelet - Market Red Stone Ring

As much as my brother despises high-waisted, I think the only way to pull off this floral-printed Penny Anne glory is to wasp-waist it with my happy stripes and this morning's beautiful weather that deteriorated into wind and rain towards the end of the day. I've always thought that mixing amazing floral prints with other distractions (i.e. perfectly spaced stripes) is a bit too much visual assault, but this combination was decent enough in the way of Summery relaxation. For some strange reason, this skirt lends itself really well to something of an American Desert mix of jewellery - thoughts?

Finally back on track to my usual ways! 2011 has started in a big way and it feels like it's been months already. Weird. Stylestalker starts back tomorrow so I'll have some things to share, I'm sure, as well as some big projects that involve you guys (wooo) but I can't say anything just yet! What have you been up to in the new year so far?

And thank you to all you beautiful people who came up and said hi at various university open days yesterday - it was so lovely meeting you!

Akrans clarity.

Penny Anne Backless Lace Dress - Covet Vintage Co. Tan Envelope Clutch - TOPSHOP Wisteria Wedges

I've been wearing this beautiful Penny Anne dress a lot more than you've seen on the blog - such perfect breathing space and floaty lace that bodes well for the hottest Summer of all time... apparently (this currently looks to be lies - it's been horribly overcast for the past couple of days). Never mind - at least there pretty mottled sunlight when I snapped these!

Penny Anne really is the sweetest label out - vintage edge helped along by my favourite Covet clutch, girly helped along by the invincible TOPSHOP wedges. No really. They won't break no matter how hard a stomp to loud music (I should probably stop trying).

What do you all think of my hair? Though it required two pairs of hands the first time round, I managed it on my own when I got home today, so you'll be seeing this way more often than what's healthy.






I like to think my borderline-lensflaring is a little Camilla Akrans. Keep dreaming, Margaret.

And thanks to all of you for entering the Westfield Gift Card Giveaway!! I'll be choosing the winner over the weekend (sooo many wishlists to look at!) and I'll be announcing the lucky winner early next week :) And never fear - another giveaway is always near!

P.S. I would just like to announce my in-denial stance on the end of 2010. I don't understand how it went so fast.
