Zipper and Blazer Chic!

Post exam shopping's still the best, because you're totally in the mood for splurging and going totally nuts, talk about retail threapy!

Anyway, I was shopping the other day and came across this black knee length dress, constructed and tailored with zippers going across the front. I'm a sucker for all things unique yet pretty at the same time. SADLY, I couldn't buy it as they didn't have my size (It's always the case when you really want something!) but I got a really awesome vest instead.

. . .

Hence the inspiration for my latest update on zippers (:

Coincidentally, I recieved an email from stylehunter featuring zipper dresses, and I love love love this WISH zipper dress! I would buy it in a heartbeat if not for my post exam splurging!

As for the part on blazers I'm just so in love with them!

I selected to feature this blazer from Barkins.com.au not only because I'm so totally in love with the whole get up, but also because i love the lighting and photography of this photo. The blazer costs AU$69.90, rather affordable and yet extremely gorgeous. I love how the outfit is solely black and white and yet flatters the body and model so well when it comes together with her hair and that smokey eye makeup she's wearing so beautifully.

Here I've selected 2 blazer jackets from net-a-porter. The CK blazer is pretty much similar to the one above, loving the crop. I swore to feature only blazers that showed resemblance to the barkins blazer above, but I couldn't resist featuring the Vivienne Westwood's Monday wool-blend jacket, it is really one fine piece of art, I love everything about it, the cut, the lapels and collars as well as the length.

Whenever I have an event on, I’m most likely be in need of a certain piece of jewelry to compliment my look. Its always a pleasure to browse online accessory stores, that certain piece of necklace, bracelet or ring might just be the formula for that stand out look. Recently I was introduced to Leviticus Jewelry, browsing through the site, I was pleasantly surprise by the themes of the pieces, especially the necklaces ; vintage, retro, bold, fun, playful, inspiring, spiritual…it seemed like each piece had a story to tell. The creative jewelry designer behind Leviticus Jewelry is Tara Levitin. Inspired by her passion for music and old movies, she creates her handmade one of a kind pieces from mixed metals with an antique look. I love vintage pieces and am captivated by her necklaces ‘Just Like Heaven’ and ‘Victorian Drape’. Browse her site, an interesting piece might catch your attention click here

Accessories Galore at Shop Wiki

I’ve been known many a times to scour the internet on numerous websites, in search of fashion ideas for just one event, weeks before the occasion. Going through regular sites and then googling away till late. Especially when I need accessories like jewellery, sunnies, bags, shoes etc. Coming out with the results I need is quite an achievement but pretty tedious at times. Shop Wiki never ceases to amaze me, I’ve heaps of fashion sites to drool over and makes it so much easier with a buying guide included, with just a few searches from the site.

Its accessories resources is filled with reviews, store websites, blogs and even fashion/accessories tips, advice and articles. Besides costume jewellery there are resources for the more serious jewellery buyer, links to buying and choosing of precious and semi-precious, gold, silver etc. Links throughout Shop Wiki easily takes you from site to site, filled with something for every fashionista. I love the fact that I get to discover new fashion sites especially one that has everything from apparel to shoes and accessories to beauty products.

While browsing there is no excuse to forget your man as there are resources to men’s accessories such as belts, ties, cuff links and sites to men’s health and other fashion resources. Shop Wiki has everything you need without the hassle of searching aimlessly. A site that I would highly recommend for all online shoppers.

Chain Reaction

I’ve always loved the wonderfully beautiful lambskin chanel quilted chain bags and browsing through some fashion sites its great to see the chain bag has found itself back into the limelight, be it the small shoulder bags to the bigger totes, I must say I love the revival. I particularly love the Lanvin Shoulder Chains and Fendi as classic as always. Check them out at http://www.net-a-porter.com/

Vivienne Westwood S/S 09 Red Collection

At first glance of the embellished shoe above, it scream Vivienne Westwood to me but alas it was magnificent shoe master (unaffordable shoes for someone like me esp. in times of recession) Christian Loubotin. Since I had westwood on my mind, I was pretty intrigued to see what her latest collection held as with the season’s more tailored outfits and blazer suits on the runway and with Pamela Anderson modeling for her new campaign, certainly I was curious. I’m not one who relishes on eccentric fashion trends and usually westwood has been super successful in her innovative designs which has made her a worldwide hit especially amongst celebrites. Her latest S/S09 Red Collection, was nothing I expected, I was pleasantly surprise at how much I loved her collection. Dresses were feminine and sexy, some a little playful. Westwood has been around since the 70’s but she has delivered season after season and there is no sign she is ever letting up.

There are times that you just need that particular bag/shoe/choker etc to complete your look but just don’t have the time to find it. Fret not, now with op shops and designer wear rental services, the possibility of having that special designer accessory you always wanted is just a click away for the right rental price.

Shop Wiki - Your New Beauty Stop!

I just love looking at fashion and beauty ads, especially when the beauty pages are filled with beautiful models with flawless even tones and expertly done up make up hues. Applying make up to adore oneself is definitely achievable in time, but its tricky when you need to do make up on someone else, believe me when I first started out in make-up school, there were colours, techniques, shading, different make-up occasions etc and importantly blending. Now you girls have it so good, magazines and internet sites have sprung up with heaps of make-up advice, a whole range of make-up brands to choose and lots of technique training to try out. I was totally impressed by a cosmetics and beauty site called ShopWiki that offered multitudes of beauty information and cosmetic products.

The site kept me glued for hours, it’s packed with beauty guides like choosing the right foundation, concealer , make up colours to a nail guide! There are links everywhere to help you with more information as you browse around like the right foundation, very important as far as I am concern. Click here to find out how to choose the correct foundation for your skin tone and an array of different brands of foundation to check out and a shopping guide, you can purchase products online conveniently.

The site was exceptionally good as it also had information on trends, techniques, make-up tips, tools of the trade and tons of resources and shopping guide by cosmetics brands. I especially found the section on make-up expiration dates very useful. Besides make-up there are fragrance and bath & body links.

Do check them out!

Bowie Wong

I've been pretty caught up with everything happening lately and couldn't find the time to update.


Decided I'd update about Bowie Wong's designs.


I picked 2 from his collection. Feel free to view the whole collection at Bowie.com.au


I have a thing for off shoulder dresses and tops, no particular reason why, I just think they look pretty awesome, shoulde blades are always nice to show. I love the rounded heel pumps she's using as well.
