When I grow up, I want my bedroom to look like this,
So that I don’t have to do this in the morning
So I can spend time enjoying this,
Instead of this
So I can spend more time doing this
And this
Happy Friday my lovelies! Hope this post brings a smile upon your face and inspires your weekend!
Come chat if you like on Facebook, Twitter and Google+! Have a gorgeous weekend!

What do you think of this cute bag? I recently discovered a quirky and contemporary bag label, Veira. The Singapore-based designer used to be an engineer! Another kindred spirit! Don’t you adore the trompe l’oeil detailing of the KissLock Bag and the huge brass clasp? It’s so roomy I can fit all my essentials but still wear it as a clutch. And if you’re interested, it’s available on ASOS!
Recently I was also introduced to a Melbourne-based eco-friendly basics label Sosume, created by Alex Trimmer. When asked about the origin of the label’s name, Alex said ‘Well it literally means “so sue me” which was my first reaction to having my original name taken by some Canadian clothing line.’ Don’t you just love a witty designer? What impressed me the most, aside from the fact that the pieces are high both on the style and sustainability stakes, is that they are Melbourne made! The material, micro modal, is made naturally, is biodegradable, lightweight, breathable, holds shape better than cotton and feels like silk on your skin.
Outfit: Alex Monroe earrings, Sosume V neck Tee (on sale!), Dimacci cuff, Veira bag, Spijkers en Spijkers wool pants, vintage scarf, sunnies, cardigan, belt and shoes
For the observant readers you may notice that in one of these pictures I’m wearing this funky cardigan upside down! I do this with all of my slouchy cardis. When worn upside down, the traditional look is transformed into a knitted cape (with sleeves). Can you see which photo I’m referring to?

One of the prettiest model-turned-musician right now is Charlotte Kemp Muhl. The Georgian-born pouty songstress is the other half to Sean Lennon as well as being the co-founder to Chimera Records with the late John Lennon’s son. They are almost joined by the hips, appearing side-by-side at nearly every public appearance. You will see what I mean in the next few pictures. She has the most beautiful face and features- look at those Snow White red lips and porcelain skin. No wonder Mr Lennon doesn’t want to loosen his grip.
Wearing matching hats, Sean’s on a step! I guess it’s every musician’s dream to snag a pretty model. Think Kate Moss and Jamie Hince, Irina Lazareanu and Pete Doherty, Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg…you name it! I guess musicians may be more interesting to date than actors…
Eclectic style is an understatement when describing Charlotte’s unique attires. I remember seeing Charlotte for the first time in this picture and I didn’t think twice about having to blog about her. The kimono is stunning, the bag is cute, but the blue lips! They are what kills me.
Charlotte is happy in her heels as well as in Converse sneakers. With a figure and a face like hers, she can wear (and get away with) anything. The musician and his muse in front of the Ritz- what a darling couple. I secretly like Sean’s coat and did you notice that they’re wearing matching shoes! How sweet!
You may have seen this ad in magazines or on the bill boards in Paris. Zadig & Voltaire casted the dynamic duo for their couples ad, see the Eiffel behind them? I’m sure their appearance drew many to the stores.
The only time you will see Charlotte by herself is for an editorial. Cuddling a monkey and wearing sheer couldn’t get more sexy… And yes she’s definitely with the band. Pictures from L’Officiel Russia Feb 2010.
Not just a pretty face, also a fabulous body. Loving all of her outfits, whether it’s heavily Gothic-inspired, toyed with vintage lace or simply divine and demure. Who’s game enough to channel her?
I found a picture of her (right) when she was of tender age. Even then, she was stunning.
And oh, she likes shopping too! Here she is with the same fluffy bag as she was wearing with her blue kimono. Oh no, where’s Sean? Probably paying for it already at the counter.
And lastly, I’ll leave you with this picture. May they stay together forever and may beauty and music never leave them.

I had a secret girl crush on Aussie model Catherine McNeil for years. I remember saying ‘she’s going to be huge’ and boy, was I right! She has done gazillions of catwalks, graced countless covers of Australian and international fashion magazines, starred in a myriad of campaigns and shot numerous editorials. Her face and her figure surpasses many in the modelling industry. Did I mention that she is a favourite of legendary photographer Mario Testino?
A darling on the runways, Catherine McNeil is slowly becoming a household name, challenging model princesses Abbey Lee Kershaw and Gemma Ward (. I think she is the most beautiful Australian model, she is flawless. I’m sure when you see her feline looks and Amazonian legs, and that figure…you will see why I think that.
In V Magazine…
She is the face of ‘Essence’, the new fragrance by Narciso Rodriguez.
Modelling Dior Fine Jewellery:
The face of a Donna Karan campaign:
And probably the most famous campaign she has done would be for Hugo Boss:
Young mug shots of the model. Natural stunner.
Who is your favourite model? Is it Sasha, Natasha, Abbey or another beauty? Share share share!
