A beautiful girl came to try on the red Felder Felder power-mesh dress today. It gives you the best bodycon shape. The studs are on a suede panel. This is the only dress in Australia. I hope she stuns her 21st crowd!

Ok, you’ve got to admit, everyone likes wearing black and white. We do it so often we don’t even realise it sometimes. Long gone are the days where only musicians, grooms and chefs dress in penguin colours. Black and white attire is so common and popular, I actually find it a little bit of a drag to gaze upon someone wearing a white skirt and black pants or skirt. In our modern day and age, we can be more creative with these shades. Think outside the black and white square. Here are some stylish women who whimsically display their affection for the colours and inspire you and I to wear black and white more, in a nouveau way.
I don’t know which caught my eyes first- her beautiful stripey dress (it is rare to see both horizontal and vertical stripes in the same garment) or her red doctors bag. Picture taken by The Sartorialist. I love her 2 tone Oxford shoes as well. What a lovely balcony.
An off-duty model taking advantage of her Chanel dress and black patent accessories. The dress has gorgeous Renaissance detailingI love the little bow at her neck and the hemline. Karl Lagerfeld is a genius. Check out the ladies checking her out.
Karla of Karla’s Closet – I follow her blog on BlogLovin’ and she never disappoints with her outfits. Always beautiful in her photographs, she combines vintage and desinger gear with such applomb. Love the gold-rimmed Ray-bans and the black and white checkered leather mini. I want I want!
Only a great figure like hers can carry off a white body-con dress. Ladies. if you are not a size6, don’t try this at home- wear the black version instead. This lady wears it with such ease and confidence, I would have applauded her if I saw her on the street. And I absolutely adore her cutout wedges.
So stylish. I think every girl needs a black and white ruffled dress- this dress easily transitions you from day to night, from office to party, from season to season. The shirt collar adds formalitry while the ruffles scream fun and frivolrity.Just add killer black accessories.
I remember giving this girl the thumbs up when I commented on her look on Elle Street Chic. I think I was the only one. Everyone else thought her back-to-front look was strange. But she has a great figure, so I applauded her originality. Plus, those white and black towering wedges are simply stunning. I want I want!
This is a distinctive Sass & Bide look- maybe you can only recognize the Black Rats leggings. This is one of my favourite looks, a cute black mini with black leggings and a tuxedo jacket. The beauty of this outfit is that you look edgy and smart and the white jacket adds an unexpected touch to the all-black-ensemble most people would have opted.
I don’t know where to begin – I love everything she’s got on. The jacket and skirt is a great pair, fantastic detailing! I adore her strappy booties. They are Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony boots! I like how she kept her her tousled and legs crossed- a great shot!
If you don’t know what to wear to fashion week, just borrow a few black and white style tips from these fashionistas.
Ebay contains a wealth of covetable fashion finds, espeically footwear. I recently came across a few pairs of my favourite things.
First up, a candy-coloured and glossy patent leather Miu Miu flats. They remind me of Melissa shoes, it may just be the effect of the lighting. These are so adorable, like Dorothy shoes, the flat version. Just click your heels twice…
These earthy-toned Max Mara booties are so sophisticated and demure. They would be very stylish for work with a grey suit and smart with jeans. Admire the craftsmanship, look at all the stitching! These heels are 3 toned!
I saw these suede booties at Zomp, they are so soft and flattering on. The caramel brown is a classic but the shape is very unique.
These fringe peep-toe ankle booties are insane, very Alexander Wang. You just need to throw on a mini body-con LBD. I adore them. They were from the States though, so I just drooled.
Ok, these are the Dorothy shoes. Utterly modern, these look so comfortable. The round toe pumps are so cute! Dorothy would be able to skip along the Yellow Brick Road in these.
Good old Louboutins. These black stilettos are the perennial classic. Al tough a little ‘boring’ for me, one cannot deny the understated elegance they exude. Every lady should have a pair of these- fail-safe, they’re little pick-me-ups with any outfit and they make you look like you have just done 1 hour of spin class when you wear them.
