Style Envy: Miroslava Duma (yes, again!)

I've always loved this girl (See proof Here & Here). She hasn't been shot much since giving birth to her son, but judging by the few pics I've seen around, she's definitely still in her style prime! 


It must be the Russian climate, but she's perfected the art of layering. I'm definitely taking notes for this Winter.

New: Zara Asymmetric Court Heels

I have been waiting so, so long for their website to be re-stocked with these heels, and I'd still be waiting if I had not tried other avenues of getting a hold of these babies! I asked a friend living in the UK to hunt them down in-store, and that's just what she did! Can't wait for them to arrive!

Style Envy: Natasha Goldenberg

This girl's fashion sense is out of siiiiggghhhtt. It's so bittersweet looking at all of her and Miroslava's outfits (a tribute to her surely to be made soon!) - both so inspiring and oh so fuelling of envy (refer to Net-a-Porter photo!!). These Russian gals know how to deck themselves head to toe in labels!

Next on the shopping list: A sharp pink suit... from where? Phillip Lim ZARA!

Mega Montage: Outfits

So this is, by far, my largest post, but I'm feeling generous today and wanted to get my outfit inspirations out into cyberspace; most of which you would have definitely witnessed in other blogs anyway! Let's just say, if I had a gallery of momentous outfits of the past and future few months (and perhaps years!), these would proudly be on display. 

With due respect to each of the stylish ladies rocking each outfit, I decided to lop off the heads so that the outfits were the forefront and focal point of the post. 

Enjoy!

Basically from sourcing these pictorials, I have concluded these things:

• I want my Chanel Medium Flap, and I want it NOW!
• I want to do a DIY on that killer Balenciaga Shirt 
• I want to buy long, loose and structured tops to wear with my flared jeans
• I wish I had twig legs to rock bright red pants, especially leather ones!
• CLASSIC IS KING! I feel like going out and splurging on really amazingly made staple pieces, eg. Black, white and the aforementioned, Chanel ;). For now, I'll just raid my Mum's wardrobe (sarcastic yay!).

Retail Therapy

There comes a time (or many) when you just need that little happy purchase to get you through the week.. 

I think I must have had a tough month.

VAMP

I only just recently started venturing out to different lipstick shades. It's really quite addictive, especially since the extent of my make-up regime merely involves eyeliner, mascara and some blush! 

My newest addition is this wine red shade from MAC. It's a bit on the Gothic side, but it's nice and vampy - I think it really goes hand in hand with the cooler months. Givenchy and Zimmermann nailed this look last season, and as stupid as it sounds, I only remembered that I was on the look out for it today (typical me always looking for something to buy). 

I'm thinking of offsetting the starkness of the shade with some printed pieces a la Proenza and Zimmermann - nothing like some colour to bring some Spring into Autumn & Winter! 

Some Inspiration..
