Proof: Maxi skirts don't necessarily shorten you!

 

Fusion Execution

It's official - ZARA can now be bought online!!! Well, shipping's [annoyingly] only available to the privileged countries who actually already have the physical stores in their cities, but nevertheless, when there's a will there's a way ;), and we can finally peruse through a better selection of pieces instead of being limited to their lookbooks. 

 

Browsing through the e-store, my very important question from a previous post, regarding the delivery of 50s fashion to the masses, was rightfully answered and persuaded by the fashion empire itself. I did, however, notice that this was due to the fact that with Winter looks becoming more apparent on the other side of the world, I can only imagine the look to be given more justice in the chilly seasons. And now that I think of it... I'd more describe the new A/W looks to be a fusion between 50s and 70s, hence the camel and tweed (and Celine/Chloe influences). Either way, I'm pretty impressed by how Zara was able to execute this tricky trend into wearable pieces for us 'normal people'. 

Some pics from the website - The first is more 70s minimalist, but I'm really liking the outfit :)

Old School

I'm really considering buying a Polaroid-type camera. Since Polaroid models seem to have gone obsolete (apparently Lady Gaga's collaborating with them on a new one?), it looks like other manufacturers, such as Fujifilm, are trying to release their own - which I really don't mind!.. This model has a playful yet sturdy look to it. There's something about white cameras...

I used to own the iZone Polaroid camera back in primary school, which now that I look at it, was a bit of a waste as the photos were oh so tiny. and a lot of the photos never developed well, but I'm missing the nostalgia Polaroids bring to photos. The fact that instead of clicking away carelessly with digital cameras, you have to be a bit more selective at what you want the precious film to immortalize. Gives each photo you take a little bit more meaning. 

50s Fever

Okay, so ever since Louis Vuitton's FW10/11 campaign, there seems to be a major surge in all things 1950s. Don't get me wrong, it's absolutely beautiful seeing the editorial spreads in the glossy pages of Vogue, but in reality, are normal people going to be wearing these swing skirts with bustiers around town? Actually, I should rephrase it as, "How will people or retailers deliver this look to the masses?" It's not my personal taste, nor do I have the physique, to be wearing high-waisted pencil skirts with dainty blouses and embroidered cardigans; so I'm Interested to know what people's thoughts are on this trend...

All Hail CC

Christine Centenera is killing it on the fashion forefront. Also known as Harper's Bazaar Australia's Fashion Ed, Stylist for practically all RAFW collections, Josh Goot's girlfriend and not to mention, Stylist for Lara Bingle (when she could afford her); etc. 

She's always been a favourite of  mine - her style is effortlessly cool and always incorporates a good mix of Aussie labels with the big guns into her outfits.

See her feature on Jak & Jil.

You cannot hate this woman, she just oozes cool.

...And If I didn't already have balayage done, this photo would definitely convince me to do it, stat.
