jumpsuit

Tribalistic

by cecylia on January 20, 2012

Hello lovelies! Happy Friday and welcome to the first JUMPSUIT POST of 2012! This flirty Violet & I onesie is named after none other than Margherita Missoni, who inspired the entire SS12 collecion for designer Anna Linklater. Unfortunately I’m not an Italian heiress, so have not been blessed with her beauty (nor her bosom). The jumpsuit has a rather revealing neckline and I nearly chickened out by wearing a top underneath but then decided against committing fashion sacrilege. This jumpsuit was designed with an exotic setting in mind, although Melbourne has suddenly experienced a mild dose of season poisoning.

Hands up if you’ve visited the Lourve Museum. Sorry I can’t join you as I’m busy impersonating the most popular statue in the famous Parisian museum – Ms Venus de Milo. I remember having to squeeze past the entire population of China, whilst trying not to lose my Nina Ricci clutch and my husband to see her royal armless. Only then not being able to photograph her because of the ridiculous crowd of paparazzi blocking our path. I don’t understand why not having arms makes one more popular, she can’t even do the royal wave! My heart goes out to Venus though, she can’t wear rings and bracelets!

After carefully examining these frames, I have decided that I need to invest in a strapless bra. I’m sure Margherita would agree.

Also, lately many of you have been commenting about my wardrobe. Well you know that I’m trying to detox it in order to regain sanity in my life so please take a look and ‘adopt’ any pieces from my outlet store that you like! Have a wonderfully relaxing weekend everyone! xx

Where: Out to dinner

Wear: Violet & I jumpsuit, Sonia Rykiel heels, vintage everything else

Stellar Arabella

by cecylia on October 13, 2011

Last night I had the pleasure pf attending the Arabella Ramsay VIP night at Arabella’s High St Armadale boutique. She has the most whimsical SS11 collection, a Parisian-influenced quirky store, oh and the best vintage pieces! I felt like I was walking into a candy store, my eyes could not stop feasting on the beautiful prints, soft fabrics and eclectic jewels. I was thrilled to catch up with my stunning friend Ebony, who you would have see in my styling portfolio. Here are some sweet memories from last night for you to enjoy!

It was an honour to meet Anna, the designer of Edenborough Evans. This jewellery label is one to watch, and wear! Anna and her sister have trained with the best Italian jewellery designers, showcased their collections in Paris at Premiere Classe (where I used to go to meet accessory designers for my ex-boutique, see here) and have their gorgeous pieces stocked at Arabella Ramsay. You can also see their full collection on their online store here. I bought an Edenborough Evans necklace from Arabella, you can DIY engrave your favourite inscription onto the name plate. After much contemplating, we decided on our wedding date instead of engraving a name. Hubby hammered ’10 Nov 07′ onto it, cannot wait to show you his masterpiece!

It is always an absolute pleasure to see Jane, who is so charming and witty, I adore her! What do you think of the taxidermed rabbit, posing with Theodore? The vintage jumpsuit was a show-stealer, and I really wanted to purchase the ‘surprised rabbit’ but it’s not for sale. How cute is it!

Outfit: Cylk Visage dress (worn as top), Sophia Kokosalaki dress (From Paris99), Dhini silk vest, vintage necklace, bangles and clutch, Miss Sixty heels

I love knit dresses, the Cylk bodycon dress is so sexy I wore it as a top for this event. The white pleated Sophia Kokosalaki skirt is a vintage purchase from the amazing Paris99 salon. Dhini’s vest is the most beloved piece in my wardrobe right now, I ordered it after seeing it at Rosemount fashion week. The tailoring is exquisite. Gonna wear it with everything!

I had so much fun at Arabella’s store with all the girls that I stayed way too long and missed out on going to Green With Envy’s Josh Goot event and meeting him and Harpers Bazaar’s Christine Centenera. *sobs* Next time I hope :)

Thank you Arabella for having us, hubby is loving his new pocketchief, he’s going to debut it at Caulfield Cup this Saturday! I actually don’t have to plan an outfit for Saturday as I have been ordered to wear the same outfit I wore last week because I’ve been most blessed to be in the Finals for Fashion on the Fields. It’s still so surreal and am getting butterflies about it…will have to share photos with you soon! Have a beautiful weekend my beloveds!

Tutti Frutti

by cecylia on February 21, 2011

Hello everyone! How have you been? Did anyone get up to any mischief over the weekend?

I went to grab Mexican with friends for lunch. As you know, I am an AVID jumpsuit fan! This gem was a souvenir from a vintage shop from Bern, Switzerland. My fondest memories of Switzerland are actually of vintage shopping :) Every time I lay my eyes on this jumpsuit, it brings a big grin across my cheeks. It’s so much fun! I wore it in Paris in this post.

Outfit: vintage jacket, brooch, belt, jumpsuit, Christian Dior bag and Country Road gold sandals
