Tall Poppy Syndrome

Charlotte Dellal is a refreshing twist on a very common story. She is the daughter of a wealthy property developer and of a famous model. She herself is a model and as a result of such genetic blessings is now considered an it girl on the London glamourama scene. This is not an uncommon mix of characteristics. The Hiltons, the Richards, the Geldofs and the Jaggers are all famous daughters of famous parents. At this point I would like to point out that the difference with Charlotte Dellal is that she actually stands on her own two feet. Her own perfectly manicured feet clad in only highest of heels designed all by herself.


Charlotte's killer looks and daring personal style are cleverly and successfully being channelled into her own shoe line named Charlotte Olympia. These shoes are for girls who want to be noticed and for those who feel at home four inches above everyone else. My favourite style is the Dolly canvas pump pictured below. Yikes looks at that instep!

In only her second season it appears she is already loved by Kate Moss and Sienna Miller as well as retail big wigs Browns, Harvey Nicols, Dover St Market, Net-a-porter and I must admit by myself also. Maybe I will buy myself a pair and then book straight into the chiropractor too just incase!

Finger Lickin Good!

Thanks to the seventies coming hurtling back onto the fashion scene crystal jewellery is now adorning hands of the fashionistas world wide. I first got hooked when I read an article in V magazine about Vogue stylist Giorgio di Sant’Angelo, Veruschka, and her then-boyfriend, photographer Franco Rubartelli shooting in the Arizona desert. http://www.vmagazine.com/2010/03/giorgio-di-santangelo/  in the late sixties.The pictures were fantastic.

The trio created the most impressive looks with only bolts of fabric, fur pelts, and ropes but the jewellery was the best as they made it with stones found in the desert. I'd loved this article and the fashion story and around the same time I started seeing crystal jewellery everywhere

The trend is already big over seas. I love designers such as Vanessa Mooney (http://www.vanessmooney.com/), Dara Ettinger (http://www.darraettinger.com/) and Petra Class (http://www.petraclass.net/). Check out their sites as I presume they all ship to Aus.

Labels such as maniamania, damselfly, andrea and joen and Arnsdorf  have ensured the trend has now hit our australian waters.  Get on the look out and get involved

Strength to Strength

Can Abbey Lee do anything wrong at the moment? She is positively the darling of the international fashion scene right now. Well except for Freja who scored the cover of the latest Vogue Paris Collections issue in more ways than one. Anywho, Abbey is looking divine. This latest editorial from Vogue Germany is definitely my new favourite especially since the hot dude with her is apparently her new boy toy.

Shopping list:

These are the things I really want right now unfortunately though I can't really afford them as I recently donated all of my money to poor children (mmm, okay I bought something extravagant and don't want to admit it).

These Margiela high waisted leather pants are hot. I could wear them to work. Yes I consider this work attire. Thank God I am not a school teacher.

These look so comfy they could be made by Kumfs or Homy Ped but no they are Givenchy. Giddy Up!

More Jersey to match my Givenchy peeptoes. This is Chloe and it is delicious!

Looks like the ultimate baggy singlet. I L.O.V.E graphics in black and white.

I think I'm tough enough to pull of a biker vest. 

Marni shearling bag, gimme gimme gimme!

I love this dress. Rick Owens jersey is perf for any occasion!

I love the sheer panel on thse Preen Jeans. Could be a fun DIY to save some dosh? eek is that blasphemy?

As always donations are welcome.

Exit Mag

Call me lame but I haven't heard of Exit mag before now have you? I shall get googling pronto but in the meantime check ot this editorial taken from it. The model is divine and I love the styling. I'm prepping for a shoot which I envisioned quite similar to this however, I am going more nineties and less LV. Think Marky Mark and Kate Moss in Calvin Klein ads. Hot to trot!
