'err body wants some of dem Markus Lupfer lips - white on white

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post featuring my beloved Markus Lupfer glitter lips tshirt in a white-on-white combo.

I've had this tshirt for months now (thanks Glassworks!) and been saving it  for the right out outfit and I am so glad I can finally share this with all my wonderful readers and visitors :) 

Shirt: Markus Lupfer

Skirt: Nastygal

Clutch: Witchery ( & also thanks to my 2 gorgeous friends for this birthday gift last year!!!!)

Shoes: ASOS

As I said in a previous post, this is definitely a trend to look out for during spring/summer and I dare say autumn/winter. I have been love love loving white-on-white outfits the moment I laid my eyes on across many catwalks this year, it's such a  fresh, simple and classy look.

On another note, I am sure it's not just me who has noticed that these luscious lips have been gracing their way across the designs of other fashion labels recently. Perhaps we should be looking out for these as a micro trend this year? Hehe.

Hope these photos brighten up your dreary day

P.S. I love bubbles!! 

XOXO B.

All that glitters is green... and blue.

Ever since I received this beautiful green gemstone Zara necklace as a gift from my friends (thank you!) I have been wanting to do an outfit post with it.

I know that this necklace is rather versatile and can be worn with many colours and tones but I had it in my mind that I had to be green that I wore this beautiful necklace with.

Though I have to say that it is a little bit hard to find the right outfit when green isn't so in season. Luckily for me ASOS (yet again hehe) have this gorgeous bold printed tulip dress. A light bulb went off in my head as soon as I saw it. woo hooo!

The four things I love most about this dress are

1. Tulip shape, and midi sleeves. Peerrrrrfect for the office (perfect for me anyway)

2. The fabulous blues on this dress let me accessorise my outfit with another gorgeous present I received for my 24th birthday.

3. When the sunlight reflects off the fabric, it looks subtly metallic even though it's not.

4. My necklace blends so well into the dress that it it goes from a very statement type of necklace into something a little less so.

After though - a fifth : the dress has pockets!!!!!!! WIN!

Unfortunately with all things that we love, there are things that we don't necessarily like either...

like the true length of this dress. At a fabulous height of 165cm, I am far too short to wear this as it is, and I had to hem off the end completely, which is such a shame really. Wish ASOS had made this in petite as well.

So how would you have worn the necklace? Or the dress?

Hope you like! XOXO

Cutesy in bold brocade prints

I completely fell in love after seeing Beyonce in Emma Cook's (sold out!!!!) Silk de Chine floral printed button down and shorts at Miami Art Basel last year, and ever since then I had been obsessing over trying to find something similar.

And so many months later (but better late than never), VOILA! ASOS created their own set.

and I love.

I so so love! It is just my luck really that bold, statement prints are also on the minds of many designers for the AW/SS2013/14 season. So many separates come in the same prints.
YAY!  

Shorts: ASOS

Tops: ASOS

Lastly, I just wanted to apologise for the absence of posts. Things just got crazy busy like I would have never believed. Hopefully things improve from here onwards! *fingers crossed

Lots of love,

XOXO

Reviving retro

I have always been a fan of many things vintage/retro and I absolutely love the fact that standout prints are one of the trends this year and that ASOS produced this matching cropped top and pencil skirt.

This little ensemble matches the vintage pair of sunnies I picked up 2 years ago and I can already see myself wearing these pieces as seperates - as you know I love mixing up my clothes!

 

 

 

 

 

Outfit - ASOS

Sunglasses - unknown, vintage

Shoes - Wedges by PeepToe

Lipstick - NARS

These photos were taken during my most recent holiday in Malaysia which means I got to enjoy an extended summer, extra sunshine (seriously photographer & I were  sweating like crazy for these photos!!! hehe) and a chance to wear this cute as outfit before Sydney reaches spring / summer in several months time.  

I am a little bit glad I did take these photos overseas ...I think I would've been too shy and embarrassed to do the same in Sydney - all the people watching! gahhh

Swings and statement necklaces

Outfit #2 - I think this is probably more of what anyone would expect to wear with a statement necklace... I just had to do this post because it is a

• Savvy outfit: total cost was $45 from ASOS both the top and maxi skirt were onsale

• I am in love with the skirt and want to wear it as many ways and times as possible... (yes I am a firm believer in repeat clothing!)

Skirt - ASOS

Top - ASOS

Shoes - Siren

Necklace - PeepToe

I chose a playground for this outfit because... well I'm not sure. I think I liked the idea of including some juxtaposition and in my mind the skirt would work well on swings.


As you can see this necklace is different to the prior post (just goes to show how much I love these!), there really is no reason for this I just thought it would go with the outfit :)

I hope the statement necklace worked as well for you as it did for me in this post!

XOXO
