Finally in Felder

by cecylia on July 19, 2010

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?

Looks that Inspire

by cecylia on March 12, 2010

When I was raiding my already packed away winter wardrobe in search for the lightest and effortlessly chic outfits, I look no further to my Fashionista folder. I have collected hundreds of Street Chic pictures that inspire my day to day outfits. Because it’s still warm in Melbourne, I cannot imagine the windy and wet weather in Paris. So I consulted these when I selected my luggage wardrobe. I like to travel light and usually just pack a capsule wardrobe, to be honest usually my capsule wardrobe is still the size of a bit luggage case which most cannot swallow. But I’m going to Paris Fashion Week! I have to dress up! I have to have some freedom and variety! I don’t like to pre-plan outfits because I am extremely fond of changing my mind. I remember that I used to surprise friends on the day of every formal, ball, wedding (I stuck to my white dress but the reception dress was a last minute change as well), party and dinner that I’ve been to. I always change my outfit in the last minute.

So without further ado, below are some of my favourite winter looks right now which have inspired me to select my luggage wardrobe.

I am bringing my own Country Road slouchy pants and some booties.

I will be bring my black and white tweed Zara jacket. I absolutely adore this outfit. So ladylike.

I will be wearing plenty of black and opaque tights. Recently I got a really cute pair with little dots from Alannah Hill. I will be trotting around in them!

I will wear a long scarf and try to find this lady’s leather pants. They are killers!

I will bring some 80s inspired belts and wool dresses.

I will pose in front of gorgeous doors and bring a warm coat.

I will bring my black full skirt.

I will bring a voluminous dress and my slouchy leather jacket.

I remember commenting on this picture with ‘gorgeous but committed shoe sin’. She’s ruined the look with ugly Converses! But flats are a staple and I hope I brought some along to walk around all the shops in.

I will be bringing some patterned tights and a fur scarf. This chic rocks. I love everything she’s wearing.

I hope I brought the right mix. I’ll post daily outfits when I return! Hope the weather’s good in Melbourne! Happy birthday to my bestie Lisa!
