A Woman Who Does Not Wear Perfume Has No Future

hipster, but effortless.

Some confusion as to whether the boots are Etro or Karl Lagerfield F/W 07 but either way they are the hottest things i've laid eyes on for a while. Love that she is embracing the grunge, but yet she can still dress like such a lady for special events - good to see her making the most of being young and experimenting though.

Wouldn't you agree there is something about a stylish man that is just so much more intriguing than a stylish woman? Maybe because their style is often more understated and therefore less obvious, or maybe I just like men, either way....
(although admittedly she is gorgeous also and evoked thoughts of roaming a french garden barefoot, followed by a picnic involving Champagne, cheese and baguettes)

I have to say this would be one of my favourite Geraldine outfits - it is so simple but yet works so well on her. I like the layering of the t's under her jacket but I like that they are not overly messy/frayed (like they sometimes are) and her jacket looks exquisite. I think the finishing touch is the way she carries herself. sigh.

Rumi over at fashiontoast (probably my favourite blog at the moment - check her out) reminded me just how much I love Clemence Poesy with her recent post (see my previous posts for some other pictures of her) so I thought I would post a few pictures I dug up - Hope you all enjoy.

Chloe, Anja and Clemence

Possibly the best combination of all time. For me these three all represent the embodiment of a different kind of beauty. The only thing I would have liked to be different would be to see them all together, interacting with each other - or would this be too contrived? too, 'look how much celeb-pulling-power we have' what do you think?

New love

2008-04-27T16:31:00.005+12:00

Let's face it, Kate has really kicked it up a notch - I think it may have all started with that Fendi Fur Jacket, and ever since then - gone are the boring (but admittedly cute) sundresses and sass and bide jeans and in their place have come biker-woman-studs, leather, all-black (which she just works) and mis-matched (but oh so right) silk numbers. It is officially love between myself and Kate, and if she keeps it up we will grow old together.

Emanuelle with the ever chic Olivier Lalanne (scans from Vogue Paris 2008). How beautiful would those babies be?

some hot girl who looks like erin wasson :)

fashionable and attractive at the time; often skilled or socially adept; "he's a cool dude"; "that's cool"; "Mary's dress is really cool"; "it's not cool to arrive at a party too early"

Need I say more?

google her - you'll see.

It's not exactly hard to see why the Birkin bag is what it is, Jane Birkin is simply stunning. This outfit is so relevant even today and she (like Geraldine Saglio) has legs to die for, she certainly worked her best asset. Anyway just wanted to inspire someone else with this photo I love so much.

Another gorgeous find.
And at a steal.

Ralph Lauren Blazer - so school girl chic.

2008-04-07T10:18:00.002+12:00

This blazer is so much like the blazer I had to wear to school, except of course gorgeous and fitted and luxurous versus huge and scratchy and hot. Anyway I will post a picture of my school one as soon as I find one and you will be amazed - the first time I saw these new Ralph Lauren ones I thought it was a blazer from my school which had been tailored!

Just bought.....

2008-04-07T10:13:00.003+12:00

Even though I already own black and white, cream and blue and black. These are the best yet - they look so cute with blue grey and black jeans - today im going to wear them with my ksubi phoenix sun skinny zips, my black leather bomber and a white t shirt from the row.

tres cute

2008-04-07T10:11:00.003+12:00

this look has inspired me any my uni outfits - she looks cute and comfy. Thanks to the Satrorialist.

Only Ashley Olsen could pull this off. It's probably not going to stop me trying though.

Who knew Agent Provocateur made shoes? Not me.
Their covetable lingerie (with those uber hot Kate Moss ads) is a different story.
These shoes - Irma - while £300, are gorgeous and in my opinion, just as sexy.

But seriously. Laptops can never be too thin - imagine the ease with which I could carry it, casually dropped into my chanel tote (in a protective cover of course) to fling out with wild abandon at any given wireless hotspot presenting occasion. No more sore shoulders, or carrying my oh-so-heavy and ancient MacBook. The matter of needing the external drive is less than ideal, but lets be realistic, we could all cope.

I really need no other reason to take up Yoga than this photo

2008-03-31T22:25:00.002+13:00

Correct me if i'm wrong, but. It just doesn't get much better than this.

2008-03-31T22:17:00.005+13:00

None other than the beautiful and talented Geraldine Saglio, whom, since discovering she wears Ksubi jeans, has possibly exceeded even Carine and Emmanuelle in my book....I know I know, I hear you gasp...but theres just something so young and fresh and pretty about her. And Those Legs. Okay, ill stop...

effortless cool.

2007-07-22T21:23:00.001+12:00

liking her more and more

2007-07-22T21:19:00.001+12:00

I mean of course everybody loves Ashley (i am no exception) but i think Mary Kate is looking awesome lately, i love the dress on her and her hair looks gorgeous and the other outfit is awesome, she's looking healthier and happier.

so this outfit pretty much blows my mind

2007-07-22T21:13:00.000+12:00

the sandals are beautiful, hot legs, cool hair, cool glasses, sure its a little risque (suggestive of sexual improprietory, bordering on the delicate) but that only makes me like it more. you do only live once..

Love this style of dress for summer..also the yellow. Want.

2007-07-15T23:13:00.000+12:00

Love her style. Love this outfit.

2007-07-15T23:04:00.000+12:00

I love Ashleys style so much. She's classy but a bit different and edgy, sometimes street sometimes ladylike and always different. I love this outfit. Love the Ksubi phoenix sun skinny zips, the only thing I don't like here is how they are scrunched at the ankle..surely she can afford to have them custom made, i think it ruins them a little..but love the ray bans, love the wee ballet flats and the big scarf. I also love the fact she isn't worried about the fact the jeans dont make her legs look like pins (although they are very slim!) and just wears them anyway. Might go put mine on....

Now on a search

2007-07-15T12:13:00.001+12:00

After seeing this picture I am now on a search for a long sleeveless mens shirt.

anyone else noticed Sienna has really lost it...

2007-07-15T12:09:00.000+12:00

I dont know why I like this outfit so much

2007-07-15T12:04:00.000+12:00

My endless search for the perfect black blazer.

2007-07-07T14:35:00.000+12:00

I love the pictures of Ashley Olsen - I looove the blazer and I love how she always makes an outfit her own, makes it a bit more street by rolling up the sleeves or wearing a mans shirt underneath. If only I could find the right one I would be a happy woman.
It needs to be fitted and not too long and contain some cotton - not stiff or a corporate fabric i.e not polyester and nice buttons that aren't a feature.
I think this is why I can't find it!

Who would have ever thought Harry Potter could be associated with someone so chic....

2007-07-06T23:39:00.000+12:00

I just came across these photos of Clemence Poesy, along with a quote from her saying no one in Paris would be caught dead in a denim mini skirt... She looks so cool, sounds quite cool, I especially love the photo on the right, the jeans are such a great colour, her lip colour is gorgeous and the aviators in the hand...

Burberry Leather Jacket

The new thing I love the most in the world...Leather

2007-07-04T00:40:00.001+12:00

After recently acquiring a couple of leather jackets I now cannot imagine my life without them. Also leather gloves which my gorgeous friend gave me for my birthday. I will post a photo of them later. Here are a couple of pictures of leather jackets I have just found...

“To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony."

French Vogue is beautiful...

2007-07-03T21:37:00.001+12:00

ebay, the home of things you cant get anywhere else...

2007-07-03T21:28:00.000+12:00

Such as gold Lanvin flats which I adore. But can't get here, or online, but there they go on ebay.

head scarves - a bit fashion victim but....

2007-07-03T15:06:00.001+12:00

I really love the headscarves that Nicole Richie wears so well. I know they're a bit fashion victim but Im going to start looking for some in preperation for summer...
Seeing as I don't have $1000 to spend on a Hermes scarf theres not much of a chance that they'll be the same.

Kate Moss Collection

2007-07-03T12:03:00.003+12:00

Well I was really keen on the poppy print silk dress from the Kate Moss collection until Nicole Richie wore it - don't get me wrong, I love her style and think she looks fabulous nearly always but now every second girl in the world will have the dress!!
Apparently they have released a cream leather jacket into the line but it doesn't seem to be on the site yet, really liking the aviators and the the top version of the poppy dress.
BTW if you do want to order the dress I have heard it runs quite small through the bust.
The black leather jacket in this collection looks pretty gorgeous - apparently the leather is super soft and really long and fitted through the arms, again I have heard it is running one size small. And although this won't be restocked you can pick it up on ebay

street style

2007-07-03T11:40:00.000+12:00

This girl is wearing what I would consider 5 key pieces at the moment - leather bomber, white relaxed t shirt, great jeans and bag and of course the shemagh scarf a la pete doherty!
Also like how she's not too matchy with the brown bag and black jacket. Love the other girls look too with the brown bomber and grey jeans with no wash - could be the superfine denim pair or possibly the sass and bide frayed misfits in faded black (available honour and obey but this is the last order!). Superfine is also available at honour and obey in Christchurch and soon to be available on mycatwalk (which will maybe be a bit better prices). For vintage bombers try the paper bag princess, fast and loose, or trademe! For not so vintage they have nice ones in portmans that soften up and look vintage pretty fast.

oversized shirts

2007-07-03T11:27:00.003+12:00

anyone else love these man style shirts? im going to do some hunting and see where we can get them around here.

Had gorgeous sass and bide shorts like this but lighter denim at Honour and Obey for summer (apparently they're coming back)
