Reverie Love

by cecylia on July 8, 2011

Recently I fell in love with yet another talented Australian-made Australian label, Reverie. ‘Reverie’ is French for ‘day-dreaming‘ . It’s so great that there are still talented designers in our country that work with Australian manufacturers. We need to get behind them and support them! Before the Australian fashion manufacturing industry becomes extinct…

Anyway, sorry for the rant, you may have gathered that I’m very passionate about this issue. The Reverie collection is simple, elegant and totally wearable. I am besotted with the blue ‘Elysee blouse’. The silk is so tenderly soft and the hue of the shirt makes it a dream-piece in my wardrobe. It goes with everything! You may recall I even wore it with a pair of trackies a while back, see here.

Recently I went to a friend’s engagement party so I teamed the Reverie silk blouse with my cream cashmere Karla Spetic skirt, a bow necklace I made and an ivory and silk tassel necklace.

I had to get some snaps of some of the stylish guests. This lady’s mustard Lisa Ho jacket is eye candy! Everyone thought it was either Chanel or Chloe.

The new fiancee and I – this stunner purchased her olive Alldressedup silk dress from our boutique.

Amanda was just telling me that she is a frequent reader of my blog, so I had to feature her on it! This smart cookie is a lawyer and an ex-model. Love her tights!

You know I love colour, especially in winter. Colour is the secret ingredient of happiness in our lives.

So what are you all up to this weekend? I’ll be working at the vets and meeting friends for dinners. Hope the weather is mighty fine and you get to spend the weekend with many of your loved ones!

What I’m wearing: Karla Spetic knitted skirt (as scarf), Reverie silk blouse, vintage necklaces, bag and coat, Paula Walden ring, Karla Spetic cashmere skirt, Country Road pumps

Parade in the Gallery

by cecylia on May 23, 2011

Day 3 of Rosemount fashion week rocked. I attended 4 spectacular shows including Lisa Ho, Talulah, Magalena Velevska, and Dhini, which were all pretty amazing, and also I went to see Yeojin Bae’s collection (before her actual show!). Can I just say that lately I’ve been getting so many sweet comments about how lucky I am to go to all the shows/showings, but I get the feeling that a lot of people don’t realise why I attend the shows. I went to Rosemount as a buyer for our boutique, not as a socialite! :)

Lisa Ho’s show was hands-down the most impeccably executed show I attended during RAFW. Set in the glorious space of the Gallery of NSW, front-rowers included movie stars, television celebrities and many many fashion editors. I actually didn’t have a seat ticket, but just before the show started I was asked to sit, maybe because my jacket was too bright, next to Simon Lock! I didn’t realise who he was until after the show. Simon Lock is the FOUNDER of fashion week! And there I was, commenting on how much I loved his lizard skin blue shoes, without an inkling…

These are my top 3 looks, it took me forever to choose because everything Lisa Ho designs is so chic and wearable.

I’m suddenly over the mis-matched phase and have become addicted to matching, maybe because I’m maturing… totally digging the brights together.

My jaw fell on the ground when I saw these colours together – ingenius! Who knew that mint and mustard would be so irresistible! This ensemble is wearable art.

Tantalising tangerine on a figure like hers = goddess status

To see Lisa Ho’s runway in full, please click here to watch the video.

Thank you Gallery of NSW for allowing (ie not forbidding) us to take photos inside. My pink Roksanda Ilincic jacket should look familar to you, as seen in this post.

I’ve teamed it up Spijkers en Spijkers Big Star top and ski shorts. All are available to be purchased from our boutique.

When I got back to the OPT, I was delighted to run into darling Margaret (of Shine by Three) again. So young, yet so hip.

After Lisa Ho, I enjoyed the candle light setting of Talulah. I have something amazing to show you in the next post. Stayed tuned!

What I wore:

Roksanda Ilincic silk gazaar jacket (available via pre-order)/Spijkers en Spijkers silk top and wool shorts/vintage belt/Pauric Sweeney bag/Viktor &Rolf scarf bracelet/YSL shows. Necklace made by me

**Oh and to my besties who read my blog- sorry about the scars on my legs, but I’m low maintenance, I don’t do foundation, except on Oscar the pimple**

Enchanted at GPO – LMFF Pret-a-Porter AW11 Collections

by cecylia on March 19, 2011

Met my beautiful friend Sam, creator and designer of Bento, for coffee at Koko Black on Thursday morning. She has got to be one of the chicest people I know. If I had a magazine, she would be in it every issue. She wore her Ruby dress with a faux-fur vest and the cutest Golden Goose ring!

I’m wearing the same outfit as the previous post (as these photos are all taken on the same day). Sam and I are both carrying Chloe bags :) Here we are, eagerly anticipating the GPO for LMFF ready-to-wear shows! Remember how I told you about these runways in this post?

I would wear this outift everyday in winter – a cable knit over a mini- simple elegance! Love the mustard and royal blue!

How amazing would this dress be for an evening party! Love the colour, I would belt it :)

This model is too yummy for words, so I won’t speak.

A long dress for day is so achingly hip right now! Just add a blazer, cardigan or fur vest!

These are a few of my favourite day-wear looks. Must admit, this black and white ensemble with a Spanish flair has got to be my most favourite! I love the double-belt!

The 3 Anessia dresses above are breathtakingly gorgeous! The ruffles! The romance! I would wear them any day! Oh and of course the velvet vest is also a lust-have, I think it’s from Nu Couche.

It was great to see some gorgeous lingerie from Im Boutique, is this also ‘ready-to-wear’? ;)

As you can see, ,the show was super and I was thrilled to catch up with Sally (Styled by Sally) afterwards, and receive a Harpers mag…As mentioned in the previous post, after the GPO shows, I headed off to watch ‘Catwalk’ at ACMI . The movie was spectacular, featuring the stunning Christy Thurlington and all of her fabulous SUPER friends, including Helena Christensen, which will be mentioned in the next post. Special thanks to LMFF to inviting me to the GPO shows and to the amazing James Nolen, ACMI film curator and programme :) Love you guys!

And now…I’m heading home for a nap…before the Menswear Runway starring Helena Christensen!

Fashion in the General Post Office -LMFF at GPO

by cecylia on March 13, 2011

Psst, ladies I have to tell you about a very special LMFF event on next Thursday 17th March at 12:30 and 6:30 pm. Melbourne’s GPO will showcase beautiful fashion parades from the winter collections of all of our favourite designers including uber-cool street labels such as Alpha60 and LIFEwithBIRD as well as Aussie favourites such as Lisa Ho, Manning Cartell, Wayne Cooper and my favourite, the amazing Belinda.

The GPO is a heritage-listed space, an amazing piece of architecture, I can’t wait to see the shows and hear The RAah Trio, an extraordinary Melbourne-based music ensemble perform. The Segura Viudas Champagne Bar will be open to all fashion aficionados for a post-show fix, and all the shops have specials on. Already planning my outfit for the day!

From left to right:

Caroline – dress, necklace and shoes by Lisa Ho

Hannah – top, skirt and wedges by Akira

Sahara – neck piece, dress and shoes by Manning Cartell

Hair & makeup: Heading Out Hair and Beauty

Centre: Ryan and Tamil (RAah Duo) – Arthur Galan AG Clothing and accessories by Arthur Galan AG

I love this photo in this winter’s favourite hues- burnt orange and royal purple. The majestic and grand columns provide the perfect background for these gorgeous outfits.What a great way to start AW11- with a parade, champagne and seriously stylish fashion. Hope to see you on Thursday!
