Guilty purchase

Picked up these dries van noten shoes which have been on my wishlist since I saw the lovely ladies of seaofshoes wearing them! Will wait patiently until the oxfords from the same collection appear on ebay with my name on them. Until then, these will suffice.

Jessie Hill 'Morocco' ss 09/10

Came across an article on Jessie Hill's ss collection on thenewmuse.net. For this collection she sought inspiration from a photograph of her grandmother modelling in Morocco in the 1960s. A print of the photograph is a running theme of the collection, adding a sweet touch to 'very now' sheer dresses and jumpsuits.

It is often interesting to hear where designers get inspiration for their collections from. A collection that has a story adds another element, making them more than just clothes.

ETSY MUST HAVE

Pic: see link below

Etsy seller Charm Star sells cute hand made sterling silver charms which make ideal gifts that you won't see everyone else wearing. I am loving the parasol charm above.

TO DO LIST

My to do list is depressingly long. Here is a short version.

1. study for exams (this WILL start tomorrow)

2. Learn to sew. I have finally convinced my nonno to teach me. It will take all her patience.

3. Buy a digital slr camera. My lovely friends have given me $ to put towards a camera. I want to start doing outfit and picture posts.

4. Go op shopping. Have the urge to shop but am on a spending ban so i can backpack around europe over summer. Need to fulfil this retail craving.

5. Start cooking more.

GEEK GLASSES

Remember in primary school when everyone would tease the kids wearing glasses? Well apparently, geek is now chic.

But is a trend still chic when every hipster from Degraves to Brunswick Street is wearing it?

HOLY GRAIL BOOTS...

I don't think I would kill for these Ann D boots but I might be tempted to commit some sort of serious crime.

TV AW09

Ask me two months ago my views on leopard print and I would shoot you a dismissive look of disgust.

That was until I saw the latest Melbourne label TV's AW09 collection. Hmmm it ain't so Jackie Collins...

I think I need some of the chunky wool jumper love in my life right about NOW. Freaking cold in Melbourne today.
