You're The Apple Of My Eye

As I said a post or so down I'm currently on a bit of a jewellery kick, so you can imagine my excitement when I discovered Mociun. Delicate and intricately measured designs photographed against white paper, white paint and masking tape. Sigh.

All About Quotations

Most Wanted

I go through phases. Eating toast and Vegemite every morning for six months, listening only to musical soundtracks (Spring Awakening, Cabaret, Easter Parade, Wicked etc) in my car... well the list goes on. My current phase: necklaces. I can't seem to get enough, especially of the fine chained, pendant variety. Which is why New York jewellery designer Anna Sabino's jewellery collection, Lucid New York, makes me so happy. I'm especially lusting after the Gun & Handcuff necklace. Check out the rest of the gorgeous collection.

And It Tastes Like Cherry Cola

I wrote about my love for Maniamania at the start of the year and my adoration for the David Bowie, Anita Pallenberg inspired jewellery range has not abated. Images for the 2010 look book are almost as lust worthy as the jewellery itself.

Returned To This Lonesome Ocean

Incredibly excited about the new Shakuhachi Spring/Summer 2010/2011 collection currently available to pre-order from mycatwalk. Shakuhachi (Jessie White) is one of my favourite Australian designers and every season I end up buying more and more pieces. I'm a sucker for anything draped, so you can see why the current collection has me all a flutter. Can't wait for summer.

Make Up All The Rules

Truly and breathtakingly perfect. Richard Tisci manages to seamlessly interweave leather and Chantilly lace to create an exquisite and ethereal couture collection.

Broke The Lookin' Glass

All the best from Glastonbury via style.com. Loving the girl on the bottom right in her heels and frill socks (I had a similar pair, aged four) and Florence (from Florence and the Machine) is rocking that dress.

You Threw Your Hands Up

Exactly two months ago I celebrated my 23rd birthday. Though I'm not a fan of getting older, I quite like the presents and spoil factor involved. As an amazing gift from my parents, I was able to spend an hour with the Cheetah's Askari, Skuhuza and Tsotsie at the open range Monarto Zoo. I can't even put into words how awe-inspiring and incredible the experience was and I still find it hard to believe that not only was I able to pat these amazing creatures, but that when I did they purred. One of the best days of my life and so, so, so much better than Chanel.

Haven't You Heard It's A Battle Of Words

I've always adored Michael Angel's digital print dresses (if you haven't already noticed, I'm a whore for a gorgeous cocktail dress) and his Resort 2011 collection gave me unlimited dress porn to drool over. Happiness.

Cause I Wrote It Ten Time Or More

Adored the print dresses at Erdem Resort 2011, especially loved the watered down animal print.

I Don't Care For Fancy Things

Loved the sorbet and neon bright colours at the Versace Resort 2011 collection, especially Dontella's version of the gladiator heel.

All Your Lovers And All Of Your Friends

I'm currently in the midst of re-decorating my apartment and I'm hoping to achieve a mixture of the above, clean white surfaces and fantastical Alice in Wonderland clutter. Will post pictures when I'm finished.

No Sleep In Heaven

Now I realise I'm a little late with my shoe lust of these DSquared2 babies, but my goodness... I believe the words 'shoe porn' is what you're looking for.

Tell Me What You Know About Dreamin'

It's hard to believe it's been nearly two (?) months since I've last posted and until now I didn't realise how much I missed my little place in the world of fashion blogging. So thank you for having me back, especially to those lovely followers who've stayed with me. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up with everything I've missed!
