HUNGER GAMES

The world is in a frenzie- it's 2012 and yes it was rumoured back in 2010 that the world was going to fall to pieces and I guess it is in the world of science fiction!!!! KONY 2012, Whitney passing away, Ange's leg, the born of modequin and the film adaptation of the HUNGER GAMES!

Jennifer Lawrence is a true beauty- a real women! she is proud of her body and her inner strength. I am loving the healthy image that she tells us. Her beauty is seen through out this heroic film. 

As a fashion guru, I was fascinated by the splendid costume ensemble for the people of Capitol.

PINK!!!!!!!!!!

I must admit, I could of done a better job at my collage... 

This dree 'on fire' just defines Katnis' strength, willingness and determination!

This colour is the 'it' colour!!

When Harry mey Suki

It ws a coincident that I was watching When Harry met Sally last night. It is a typical Romcom that has an iconic scene of America's Sweet Heart, Meg Ryan walking through a beautiful assortment of red autumn leaves with her possible lover The 84th Academy Award Host  Billy Crystal. The scenery is lovely and I would love to walk like that with my Harry oneday.  Seeing that to day the 1st of March is the first day of Autumn for the Southern Hemisphere residents, I thought it would be a lovely movie to pick for my post.

Warmer colors than Sally's. It's Autumn with a hint of summer still left inside me.

American Apparel- Blazer got in LA at the outlet

- Pants got in Tokyo Store

- Belt also from the Tokyo Store

- Hat from Alamoana Centre, Hawaii

Shirt- No brand. Vintage

The shirt has a great bow on the neck!

Titty and Co.- Leopard Print wingship Shoes

Titty and Co. is a brand in Japan that is in massive girls fashion malls like Shibuya 109.

The shop has the cutest detail to even the wall paintings!

Ahh I'm going to miss Summer... but Fall's trends look awsome so I'll be enjoying my self:)

tendance de la mode étrangère vol1. Lily Brown

When Octavia Spencer won her award at the Oscars, I was so happy for her. It was only a month ago I saw The Help, and 2 months ago I saw the Ugly Betty episode with her acting as Ignasio's keen lover.
I must say, her speech was so cute and pure. I loved the movie, especially the costume aspect of it! 50's I adore...
I try to keep watch for new brands in the world, and I came across this store!

Lily Brown

Opened in September 2011. It is a vintage- inspired brand located in several places within Tokyo, Japan.  It is highly inspired by the amazing era of the 50's with a shift of the 10's!

These photo's are from the spring/summer 2012 collection. The square bag with a silk scarf recklessly wrapped and the mustard coloured leggings! I must say, that is a great piece of the mix in the era's...

Great mid shot of the fair young model. The denim jacket- the symbol from then sex symbol James Dean, and the dress is clearly inspired by the iconic Yves Saint Laurent 60's Jersey Dress. I know it's not the 50's, it's still pretty!

Mustard again, and I wish I was able to pull off a hat like that! I love how the colour is so authentic, like something that Granny might pull off but the material and the sillouette is our age.

1. colorful flower shoulder bag

2. acrylic classic earing

3. Bi-colour vintage belt

4. Bi-color pumps

5. stripe shirt one-piece

6. Scarf Square bag

These amazing pieces are alll from Lily Brown. How retro are these beautiful sherbet colors are?

Especially the shirt dress has got such a old look with the length and the print yet a mode edge with the cut out shoulders

loving this shop? I think so!

Diamonds are a girl's best friend- when you have some. I don't so i stick with beads

If you are lucky enough to own some real diamonds, wear them and you will be glowing at the Four Seasons Hotel in Manhattan
If you own swarovski's wear them and you will be sparkling for 12 hours at a function with work colleagues and clients
If you have draws of fake bing, you will be blinging your way through crowds at a concert preferably Chris Brown? almost the whole night (until the stones fall off...)
Or like me just owning heaps of beads and sea shells ruling my style while listening to Foo Fighters:)

Summer is almost over in the southern hemisphere... and I want to make the most of it by posting some of my favourite 'diamonds'!

(From Closest) Plain Beaded Gum bracelets- matches with anything and easy going

Turquoise Stones- Gift from Step Dad when he went somewhere for work

Corals- just so magical

dangling turquoise-ish stone with beads on chain- Best find back when I was still in Elementary School

Full of Effort Bead Band- Found in Bali... using stones as beads= legend

Blue balls with a bell- gift from my secret santa 

These are my favourites!

Bulky and statement pieces

Great with a simple one-teaspoon dress

Necklaces that are great with Bikinis!

Front one- Wood Beads. Strands of it

Back one- Old shells carefully carved in to a perfect necklace

Huge crystal with rusty red bead circles from Bali

Can you see them?

It's Hiding under the gorgeous Frangipanis.

Earings that I made!!

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart

Today is... VALENTINES DAY! when every where in the world is whirling around with love, chocolates carefully held the men and women; whom may be proposing for marriage or just like hey there let's go out. It's a day in the year when every body gains at least 10pounds except for the chocolatiers and the cake shop owners who at least shed 10 pounds. I don't think I'll have a cute french guy on my door steps today, but I hope I'll get at least one bitter rose from my friends:)

                                                     Valentine's Day (2010) - cutest couple ever!

I may have nothing to do with love at the moment but, this time of the year I couldn't stop feeling romantic. If you go on google today, it's all about LOVE. My dream one day is to have a wonderfully beautiful charming dreamy English guy (love pom accents) with a dozen roses, chocolate covered strawberry boxes from cake boss and a Tiffany & Co. bangle.

Cake Boss

My dream outfit for my ideal date with my darling would be eating at a casual cafe then a stroll to the beach then to a hot bar:)

Shirt- American Apparel sheer shirt $60

Skirt- Free's Shop$45

Bra- Zara 

It's pink, cute, girly but with edge with the sexy black chiffon shirt

Bag- Seed $50

This bag is so fragile and frail with the carefully sewin clear sequins on the vintage flower prints. Aaaaand it's in a shape of a heart!  

Booties- $60

These cheap chic shoes are just great dressing up or down, silk  candy coloured Anna Sui dress or vintage Levi's 501's.

Many wishes for all the cuddlie pies out there tonight :)

that 70's girl

One of my most loved on screen icon would have to be Iris from Taxi Driver.

When you see Jodie Foster Acting as Iris, the whole screen pops with colour. The film is classified as a thriller- I mean Robert De Niro is scary, cannot believe now he plays the dad in meet the parents... so what I want to say is that the screen is dull and heavy until you see the low-teen prostitute, blooming with the beautiful colour palates. I'm feeling 70's.  

So I thought, Chanel Spring 2010 ready-to-wear was vibing off Iris. (It's not a word...)

 Photo by style.com

The high  waist, and the red shoes ( clogs!) It's a very cute modern take on the 70's look. I love the Shoes... and the basked with patch worked Chanel signature Camellia.

Photo by Style.com

This is from Anna Sui Spring 2011 ready to wear and here also, it has the waist mark of the tied shirt, the Denim Jacket, the red shoes with long bags and the red shoes. This is a little closer to the Iris Look yet it has more patterns- the whimsical patterns of Anna Sui!

Well, I have interpreted it on my Mannequin



Hat- Ammerican Apparel $40? USD at Alamoana shopping centre, Hawaii

Denim Jacket- Zara $?

Tube Top- Whitchery $35 AUD

Skirt- VIntage $35 JPY at an vintage shop in Numazu, Japan

Mocassins- $45 JPY at an vintage shop in Numazu, Japan  

I really want the red belt and the white hat, yet to wear on the streets... I'd go for this.

Belt-GAP kids $10

Slip on's are very comfy et easy!

AND my ultimate favourite bag

Vintage Coach $70 at an antique store in Hawaii.

Well, I love Vintage coach... At the moment, their collection's are filled with brown or colourful C's every where and that new Coach Poppy, it's cute that they are aiming at other target markets avoiding the mid 40's to 50's women scrummging at duty free's in air ports. BUT I don't think mixing logo's with sequins are the way to go. I love their genuine leather goods and Can't wait until my mother passes down her hot pink pouch from coach about 12 years ago!

the most needed stuff on the beach

Well, I love tanning and swimming and eating ice-cream on the beach... but the day to the beach isn't the same with out my selections of stuff which will win the best summer must-have award, if there is one. Maybe at the Kodak theatre the day after the oscars? Any way, in this picture it's missing my favourite pair of sunnies:( I lost them the other day. I'll find another fab one by Marc Jacobs!

These Bikini's are Seafolly Bikini's from 10years ago!! My aunty never wore them and 10 years later, it came travelling into my hands.. I LOVE them! It's not pretending to have the vintage vibe... it is old but in the most perfect condition.

I love it because it stands out from all the others, and it actually covers my boobies...
The shape of the top and the bottom does send off a 90's sorta vibe. the pants are reversable and high waisted! the flowers look like the background of where spongebob square pants lives...

This Hat was my X'mas present. Helen Kaminski is one of Australia's most treasured designers. Her designs are so natural and comforting. The bag behind is  'sea bag' it's made by all recycled sails of the boats. It also funds various charity related to sailing aswell. It is all hand made and protects my things from the sand. It is such a good bag because not only is it for a good cause but it ver usable. I often buy things for charity, but I always find by self never using any of it. This I didn't get for charity, I came across this while strolling in Japan. And compleatly fell in love with the feel, lightness and the anchor! check it out! http://www.seabags.com/

This vintage 100% cotton shirt is so relaxing after a nice cool dip in the beach. I found it at a very small store in Harajuku, Japan. I will tie my hair up in a bun and wear this over my mad bikini then my out fir is complete! + my Helen Kaminski Bag

What do you love in summer? - my answer: not just the weather but the colourful fruits and sorbets! yummy
