This is my first go at Polyvore. I think its a great website where you can put together your own mood boards of fashion and photos. The best bit is if you see something you like there is a link to buy it! I thought Id just test it out and it became dreaming of afternoon tea by creative-monsoon featuring Christian Louboutin shoes It is quite a contentious site though, and I can see why - you are using other people work. But they do put links in for every image used, so people can buy it, as long as everything is credited to its original owner I wouldn't mind people using my images. I think it could be a good little marketing tool.

Babushka bling

On - Monday 23 March 2009

Last week I mentioned the popularity of Babushka dolls at the moment. Well this just tops it all. If you have a spare $8000 plus dollars lying around you could pick yourself up this new Chanel Matrioshka handbag made from black resin and gold. You'll have to wait until mid May though - damn, would have gone so well with the outfit I was planning on wearing down the pub this evening. Read more on handbag.com

If dark and moody shades of grey aren't your thing this autumn/winter, try a little colour, well, a lot of colour actually.

These gorgeous pink armwarmers from sachiko are perfect for looking cool and keeping warm.
Spirited Style have the most amazing range of colourful handbags. Watch out for a range of new designs coming March 1st.
Add a bit of fun to any outfit with 'cant sleep clowns will eat me' buttons from Stoopidgerl.
I came across Canberra designer Karmen Sega at their local markets a couple of weeks ago. She has some beautiful leather handbags and purses. Check out Canberras arts and crafts markets for her work.
Top off your winter look with a great hat, like this one from Sydney designer Baboom.

Fashion: Hitchcock Heroines

On - Thursday 19 February 2009

Now I'm usually the first person the complain when stores start promoting autumn/winter stock when its still the middle of summer. But I have to admit this past weeks constant rain made me realise summer is slowly on its way out. So whats happening with autumn/winter fashion? Well there seem to be two distinct styles, the first, think retro galmour. Black, dark blue or purple and cherry red. Tailored suites and pencil skirts. The femme fatale:

Add a little knitted French luxury to your wardrobe this winter with a beautiful buttoned scarflette from friedinbutter. Available in a variety of colours including black and red.
Necklush is made from cut cotton loops by a New York based business. Very unique they make a great change from usual scarfs and can be worn in lots of different ways.
Try a bit of original vintage glamour, like this stunning dress from my favorite vintage.
One of my favourites, Gazzu has some beautiful head bands. Try this black and red one, a steal at only US$7.75.
Pencil skirts are a great look this autumn. New York based designer Soho Mode have a great selection in traditional or more daring fabrics, teamed with fabulous contrasting belts.
Bonniesknitting uses vintage patterns and fabric to create these gorgeous 1920s style hats. Perfect for topping off that winter retro look.
