The dress that stole the limelight at our runway show last year in September was the Gail Sorronda gold Ventricle dress. Exaggerated statement shoulers, tick. Ladylike and demure silhouette, tick. Plenty of stretch to allow for post-prandial bulge, tick.
Warning: This statement dress will get heads turning and some onlookers may turn green.

After eyeing the Felder Felder ring skirt for 3 months, I finally gave in to temptation. It was definitely worth the wait (and the price). The leather is so soft and when I walk the skirt literally rings! Plus, this skirt is made in England.
Recently I had a major wardrobe cleanup. I am a major hoarder and have way too much for what I am incapable of wearing. So finally after putting my foot down firmly (and taking a few bags to the local vintage shops), I have made some progress.
One rack got special attention. This is my work wardrobe rack standing behind me. It contains some pieces I own from the boutique paired with my vintage pieces. I have decided to let this rack be my main rack and the rest of my wardrobe is the ‘storage’ and I will rotate garments periodically. That is the plan.
Wearing a vintage top and cardigan with my tallest Marc Jacobs heart heels. I’m trying to wear my more ordinary shoes out (see in the background) before I wear the pairs I treasure, still sitting pretty in their boxes.
Do you remember that Karla Spetic cardigan I liked to wear up side down? See here =) I tested it on this vintage stripy number. See how the horizontal stripes became vertical? It’s magic! Oh by the way, Karla’s last name is pronounced ‘Sh-peti-ch’!
There may be some pieces you can recognize from the rack. Like the Zara tweed jacket in the middle of the rack, as seen here, or the vintage green dress, gifted by my auntie, at the end of the clothes stand, as seen here…
This top is one of my favourite vintage finds, it has gold lines all through it. Labelled a size 14, it still fits well and you should never judge a garment by its labelled size. Always try it on and see how it fits. The Chloe horse-shoe necklace is also a very lucky vintage find.
And since we’re on the topic of ‘rings’, recently I got 2 new rings- a squirrel, gifted by the beautiful Jess from whatwouldkarldo blog, and a lion. I love animal rings, they are finger pets!
What do you think of the Felder Felder skirt? What’s your favourite ring? Mind sharing?

Due to popular demand, I’ve made another post dedicated to gold. To add class, glamour, originality, or just a bit of sparkle, don’t be affraid to pile on gold items. These ladies show us just how easy it is to look a million-dollars with just a few touches of gold.
I know this is a gold post and our focus is on the lady on the right, but I cannot help but notice and admire the gorgeous metallic shorts-suit Rachel Bilson is wearing! This is my favourite look for Bilson to date. The clutch compliments her already stunning outfit perfectly. The red clutch is gorgeous too.
I would love to find out where she got her black and gold leather biker jacket from. It is exquisite, so unique!
A 3-tiered silk dress with a bow at the waist- genius. Great heels too. She must be a model.
Ralph Lauren pants look like dazzling jewels under the setting sun. She is stunning and her outfit is so understated stylish.
This is Jane Aldridge’s gold octapus ring. See how its legs hug around her index finger?
Gold pedal-pushers? Yes please! I love her cool and slouchy look and those pumps!
Jane’s mom-Atlantis Home, who is Jane’s original creative fashion influence, has a very enviable wardrobe. Check out her amazing outfit! I love the belt and her Stella McCartney heels. Recently I purchased a very good copy from Nine West.
Tell me your favorite gold moment.
