Karen Walker dress and sunglasses, Acne cardigan You’d probably never tell by the way I dress now, but growing up I was a bit of a tomboy. I’m not sure I owned anything pink. It started out with snap pants and silver platform sneakers, and shortly after moved on to baggy “skater” pants with boxers showing. Not exactly fashion moments I look back on fondly, but I wouldn’t doubt that each and every one of us went through a similar period. As the contents of my wardrobe have slowly (or perhaps I should say steadily) evolved over the years, I’ve…
T by Alexander Wang dress, Karen Walker sunglasses and jacket, Givenchy heels, Meadowlark ring, Celine bag A couple weeks back I met up with the ever-so-lovely Nina from the StyleHive, a catch-up I must say was long overdue! Our afternoon date consisted of tea, sweet treats, and a stroll along the waterfront, contemplating more sweet treats (it was hot, and there’s no better solution to a hot day than ice cream.. right?). I think one of the best parts was finally seeing Nina’s Miu Miu neon pink spectator heels in action, even if she did swap them halfway through for…
img src – MGSM The beautiful collection that is MGSM pre-Fall 12 is something I stumbled across a wee while back, and am only just getting around to posting.

The print on prints, bold colours and interesting layering pull the collection together nicely, and are just a couple of the reasons that I would be happy to have each and every piece magically appear hanging in my…

While I favour one bag at a time, I generally end up filling a fabric bag with a number of items to take to work that don’t fit in my PS11 – which I must say is…
img 1 src The trend of paring down, and culling one’s wardrobes seems to be sweeping the internet. It’s as though excessiveness has reached a ceiling point, and resulted in the resolve to pursue style in the opposite direction, in a more minimal fashion. Dead Fleurette and her well thought out and eloquently formed posts possibly had something to do with this, or at least they had an influence on me.
