Damselfly in Action

by cecylia on September 30, 2010

As many of you already know we are a proud stockist of Melbourne-based jewellery label Damselfly. You would have seen the beautiful Christianna, creator and designer of Damselfly on this post. Her Dream Weaver collection is all hand-made from gold chains and Agate stones. They are so beautifully crafted and we will demonstrate how lovely they are when worn.

Jeans for Genes Day

by cecylia on August 18, 2010

It was Jeans for Genes Day a few weeks back. Man, thank God for Twitter, how else does the modern fashionista keep up with news? The day is to create awareness and to raise money for genetic diseases in babies, as 1 in 20 have a genetic disorder. How high are the odds! I feel a little guilty as I didn’t actually participate in the financial side, only in the dressing-up side…

As you can see I get ticks for effort:) Considering the only jeans I’ve worn as of late are my Dr. Denims, I especially squeezed into these Miss Sixty jeans which I’ve owned for more than 5 years but have never ever worn.

I’ve paired the jeans with a vintage studded Chambray shirt, vintage Hermes belt, vintage Swiss watch necklace, and black suede Repetto ‘Garbo’ booties, also seen here.

I bought these jeans when I worked for Miss Sixty, when Lily Donaldson was the model for the Fall 2004 campaign, back then I had no idea who she was! It’s amazing how much you learn over the years..

The Fall 04 collection was one of the strongest collections for Miss Sixty in my opinion. They had made the best jeans that season, I wish I had these biker jeans too…

Ah, the good old days working for a top Italian denim label…. and to think I used to be denim-clad nearly everyday. Now I only wear them for ‘special occasions.’ Dresses have become my new staple.

I don’t look anything anywhere near Lily but I’m finally starting to get cost-per-wear out of these jeans!

I know I haven’t posted pictures of my doggie lately, sorry! He attracts more attention from the ladies than our clothes. Here’s one to delight you…

My favourite canine man: Theodore! Isn’t he the cutest?

So since we’re on a sensitive subject of genes…I thought I’d post some profound questions to get us thinking…

If we’re not born with genetic conditions, should we not give thanks?

If we know someone who is, should we not care more for them?

If our genes are mutating more frequently and creating more diseases, should we not question ‘evolution’?

If you dressed up for Jeans for Genes day as well, should you not tell us what you wore? =)

Shoe Shoe Shoe!

by cecylia on February 19, 2010

I know I already have 100 or so pairs of shoes…but I cannot help but still have shoe envy from time to time, and if you see the collection of shoes below, you will fully comprehend.

These Alexander Wang booties are insane! They are so hardcore and have a super-hero edge, I love the collars around the ankles. These booties have laces and a zip, how ingenious! Wang is the king of luxe grunge, and we shall all bow down to his royal designer-ship.

Jane of Sea of Shoes and her YSL cage shoes! There is a waiting period on these hot heels, trust her to be one of the first to be trotting around in them! I love the black bows and the transparency of them all.

These crocodile beauties are solid and sleek. I love the mane along the back of the shoe. These heels do the talking.

Ok, a little bit of shoe cleavage. These fantastic strappy heels are featured on Karla’s blog- Karla’s Closet. I love the mock-croc print and the quadriple thick elastics! They are a bit warrior princess meets Cinderella.

Another pair of drop-dead gorgeous shoes from Jane’s collection, Dries van Noten I think? These tribal embellished beauties are a work of art and a fantastic display of exquisite craftsmanship. I would love to walk in Jane’s shoes one day.

You know I have serious shoe envy when this is the third photo of Jane’s shoes- yes THOSE Chanel booties. Jane is well-anchored to the floor. The translucency and the big black bows have won me over, I am head over heels.

Rumi, of FashionToast, she has quite an enviable shoe collection too. I always wonder how she walks around in her ginormous heels, such as these Balenciaga cork platform shoes.

These are Anna Dello Russo’s shoes. Ready? One, two three… *sigh* Adorned with hollies, these Lanvin heels are the perfect accessory for Christmas! Ah, red velvet. I stare, I drool, I melt.

God made man, man made shoes, shoes make the woman.

Please don’t quote me on that.

Chain me up

by cecylia on December 18, 2009

Afer the fall of the It Bag, the Anti-It-bag is welcomed like a breath of fresh air. Individuality and personal styling is honored above the cult status symbol that is copied from the catwalk to the celebs. For me, it is partly because owning 10 It Bag is just not economically feasible, and having a bag that so many other girls have just does not appeal to me.

Recently, I came across some gorgeous chain bags from Net-a-Porter and wanted to share them with you. Please tell me which one is your favourite.

Anya Hindmarch 3 pocket clutch. Great colours! I love the layered look and the soft luxurious leather. Chain bags are so good because you can hold it as a clutch or fling it across your shoulder. Where’s the bow logo Anya?

Chloe calfskin bucket bag. This is rock chick meets gallerina. Edgy enough for day and sparkly enough for night. You can toy with the tassels or admire the floral embellishments. This bag is a gem.

I adore this Celine lambskin bag. Not only it is made from the highest quality leather, it is in pink! I love the corrugated look with the big chain. I saw it at the shops recently, it is pretty heavy.

I had to add another Chloe chain bag- this one is simply stunning. I love the snake-skin trimming and the gold hardware. it’s named the ‘Irina’ bag, read here for a post about the cute model. I like the symmetry of this bag and it goes with everything.

How can I express my adoration for this black Emanuel Ungaro chain bag? Designers are embracing studs and the 80s grunge look is back with a vengeance! How cute is the lock buckle and the silver chains running circumferentially along the bag and the pockets?

I don’t think I have ever seen a non-psychedelic patterned garment or accessory from Emilio Pucci. But this denim and gold chain bag is so simple and chic. Anyone can sling it over their shoulders and epitomise Parisian style. Maybe the material lining the bag consists of multi-coloured swirls and shapes.

I can see Coco Chanel wearing this bag. I mean, Karl Lagerfeld designs fro both Fendi and Chanel and don’t you think that he may have crossed styles with this bag? So if you are a fan of both design houses, then invest in this bag, it is like 2 labels in one! I love nude and black, it is the most feminine combination and the chains lends an edge to this beautiful baguette.

Guess who is bag is by? I know what you are thinking, I was thinking it too. It’s by Alber Elbaz, this gold beauty is Lanvin! I love the colour and the black bow intertwined in the gold chain. What a beauty.

These bags are just divine, pick one for your lust-list today. Thanks for reading.
