Incu PRESENTS Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Marc by Marc Jacobs landed in Incu so many weeks ago, now, that I can't remember even taking these photos (intense apologies for the delay)! I do, however, always remember that distinctly Marc by Marc teeny tiny green/white print on navy.

Yes, I have been into Incu on Oxford St several times since the launch party to try on every article of clothing thus described, as well as wandering around upstairs holding an iPad case (for the iPad I don't own, of course!)




I spent today visiting various stylishly-inclined offices and snapping behind the scenes at Shilla and Lola vs Harper's new lookbook shoots - seriously. Such good pieces happening - I'll keep you updated!

And I promise to have Law Ball photos up soon!

Merry wives of Windsor... Smith.

... words cannot express the degree to which I adore these Windsor Smith babies.

And how much of a strangely happy exhausted mood I'm in as I drag myself around in this beautifully balmy weather, getting ready for Law Ball tonight. Hopefully I'll snap some happy photos before I leave!

Think For Love & Lemons.

How was everybody's week? Mine was a whirlwind of exciting project initiations and reunions with wonderful people who have not appeared often enough given my inability to say no to blog-related propositions.

Having said this, bright shoes are my pick-me-up.

Hope it's yours too as you work your way into Friday evening!

Apologies for the nonsense post :)

P.S. Last day to vote for your favourite Voi Shop window if you care to pitch a vote my way! HERE.

MIX at COLES.

I've been meaning to share these snaps all week for the following reasons:

1. They make me want Spring to fast forward so I can drag my sorry self to Bondi
2. They're shots for MIX at COLES - the first time a supermarket is offering apparel - I think it's fairly important to note that everything is priced under $25 (what) and you can get a shirt for something ridiculous like $8 (what again)

How fantastic, says the struggling student in my bank account (yes I did have an incident the other day whereby I didn't have enough money to buy a muesli bar...)

On top of that, they look like a lot of fun in the way of basics - we all know how much I love my mix and match!

Be sure to head into Coles at some point to check it out (I think they've already dropped in the Burwood East Coles!)

P.S. don't forget to enter the $275 Sgt Sookie wardrobe giveaway! :)

Cotton On & Rubi Shoes: Behind-the-scenes.

On Tuesday, I had the absolute pleasure of heading down to a beautiful Balinese Retreat just outside of Melbourne to snap-happy behind the scenes on location at Cotton On and Rubi Shoes' fantastic Summer campaign. To my delight, all my love for colour-blocking, colour-clashing and colour-popping are right on point in the newest collection. 

Blogger doesn't like me too much, so I couldn't share all the photos I have - expect another very soon! I'm also currently working on a video for you all too - it really will feel like you're in Bali. I promise :)

In the mean time, make sure you have a poke around the online store - there will be some amazing things up very soon (I don't think I can express enough how impressed I am with so many of the pieces! Laura and the team certainly heard me... :D)

Thank you so much to Cotton On and the gorgeous team for having me down in Melbourne! It was so lovely to finally meet you all and to see everything come together so beautifully on the day :)

*love*

Miss Unkon Shirt - Shakuhachi Moonshine Trackpants from MyCatwalk.com - Lorenzi Heels

This fantastic pair of trackpants is the third of a previously nonexistent collection that is now steadily growing in the most bizarre directions (the first being these, the second, these, and the third all the more amazing in person). Paired with the little bits of gold and softest baby blue of this shirt by Miss Unkon, I would say we have a happily married couple forevermore. When I can get my hands on a friend's macro lens, I'll have to show you the adorable cuffs on the shirt - the buttons are sort of like little chain cufflinks. And make you want to 'awww' - even when you're wearing it.

Yes my mother thinks I'm going crazy.







Apologies for the state of my hair! I'm thinking about bluntly snipping a centimetre off the bottom myself (since I've lost all faith in finding a hairdresser) - thoughts?

Thank you all for your beautiful comments and emails regarding my last post for Lipsy London and MYER! Hopefully you've all been into stores and had a try of all the stunning pieces! Or looked online. The latter is probably more feasible.

Young Hollywood.

During my interning times with the Stylestalker ladies, we shot the Young Hollywood lookbook with superbabeface Cassi van den Dungen (I'll have behind-the-scenes shots up soon) - all I really remember is sitting next to the clothing rack all day stroking everything in a non-creepy way. Rach and Sue-Ann then proceeded to LA to shoot with similarly superbabeface Alexandra Spencer, and these wonderfully moody/too-cool shots are the result. Needless to say I'm pretty excited to share this 1) because of my pleat and cloud print obsession 2) for my wide legged pants obsession 3) I will never. ever. get enough of cut outs on sleeves, on backs, on legs.












Long story short, the collection definitely needs to be the centrepiece of my wardrobe for the rest of the year. These shots have also gotten me ridiculously excited for LA... even if it is insanely far away.

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
