Pretty as a Petal

by cecylia on December 12, 2009

A while back I wrote a post called ‘Kate, never the wall flower’, on Miss Bosworth. With summer approaching in Melbourne, I am embracing the floral trend as the bulbs are blooming. To be honest, I prefer wearing monochromatic outfits but sometimes when I feel like a perk-up, I throw on a floral dress or scarf to brighten my mood. I especially like to wear florals on sunny days. I found some gorgeous girls in floral outfits for your inspiration and enjoyment.

This is the ultimate holiday ensemble. Wild tousled hair, tick. Dark shades, tick. Gorgeous floral caftan, tick. Bright carry-all, tick, Balenciaga, optional. Bare legs with a great tan, tick and bejewelled flat sandals, tick. floral n pretty

This is the creator of he eponymous jewellery label: Assad Mounser. She is wearing one of her creations around her neck- gorgeous strands! I adore the ruffled shoulders and her Moschino heart bag. Certainly one with fashion flair check out her dazzling jewels at her website.

Texting pretty: I guess only a statuesque lady like her can look so chic in a long floral dress whilst sending an SMS. I adore her brown clutch and her ruched boots- who said you have to match your accessories?

This is a beautiful picture of a gorgeuos girl by Garance Dore. This girl is stunning and so is her cute outfit! Love the floral tunic, complete with a studded belt. I particualrly like thisphoto as Garance as really captured the youth and beauty this girl epitomizes, and her twirling hair shows a real sense of freedom of self-expression. I really want her shoes!

This is one look that is easy to follow- easy to pack too! Bring your favourite floral dress and throw on a tux jacket and you’ve pulled off the polished look so effortlessly. And the best thing about this ensemble is, you can change your dress and have the same blazer but you will look different each time! And yes, this is a great trans-seasonal look as the tights are optional.

frilly yet polished

The mot fashionable teenage on the planet- Jane Aldridge of Sea of Shoes. I posted about her belt recently and here is her full outfit. Isn’t her dress divine? It has all the primary colours in perfect combination. I love her belt (again) and her brown Prada lace-up boots. This girl just knows how to make everything work to the fullest potential.

This eclectic chic certainly caught Elle Street Chic’s attention, with her dorky glasses, denim cutoffs, gorgeous floral coat, cream YSL bag and rock-n-roll heels. 2 thumbs up for her original mix of quirky and fabulous accessories! I would love to know where she got her jacket from

Thanks for reading, start blooming today!

MMM boots

by cecylia on September 9, 2009

I have a confession to make: I am an avid Sea of Shoes folllower. The gorgeous teenager, Jane Aldridge, is the proud owner of shoes-to-drool-for. This chick is literally too cool for school. My recent penchant for Maison Martin Margiela shoes was under the direct influence of the Texan beauty. Recently I saw her photo and fell in love (yet again) with her shoes!!! These MMM boots are just divine – super-soft, bunched at the ankle, cone-heels and look like sandals. She is wearing a vintage men’s shirt- so young, so chic.

i love those mmm boots

On my recent tour of Singapore shopping malls, I paid visits to every single ZARA store, much to my hubby’s amusement (and exasperation). It became almost religious, I had to enter every Zara shop. Walking in Zara, admiring all the clothes, I was a little girl in a candy shop. It is because Melbourne is devoid of this awesome chainstore! *sobs* I bought many pieces from Zara and will be sharing them with you in the near future.

There was one thing I wanted to buy but could not…

Tah-dah!

They were a size too small!

They were a size too small!

At first when I saw these Maison Martin Margiela-esque shoes, I was almost seizuring with excitement, because they appeared to be descendants of the MMM boots Jane had (which I could not find anywhere in Melbourne)…But my exuberance died when I saw the shoe size: 37, one size too small! I nearly squeezed into them, but I knew it was not meant to be. For the next few days, I dreamt of the shoes. So off we went to visit the store again and hoping the booties were still there. I would have bought them anyway and had them stretched in Melbourne. But they were nowhere to be found.  I wept.

Last night, I stumbled across Assad Mounser‘s website and saw her wearing THESE shoes! Lucky girl! She obviously got in early!
