Leopard Love

We all love it. It could be on a belt, a scarf, a hot pair of shoes or, for the more daring among us, a full on dress. Let's face it, leopard print ROCKS! I'm not sure when my love affair with all things leopard began but I do know that it makes one feel utterly fabulous. And yes, I do have the bag, the dress, the coat, the scarf, the belt(s), the underwear (blush!) and, of course, the shoes!


So may I introduce one of the family's newest members - a fantastic pair of leopard print wedges by Forever21.

 With shoes this bold, it's best to keep the rest of your outfit nice and simple. I went with a plain black dress (by Velvet at YDE) and paired it with a boyfriend blazer from Cotton On - one of my favourite stores. Boyfriend blazers are a hot trend this season, so my advice: get them in every colour!

If you do want to add a bit of colour to your leopard look then why not accessorise with some bright red lips? It's a great way to spice things up without overdoing it. Finally, finish off with a pair of hoop earrings and you're good to go.

So ladies get ready to release your inner leopard - I highly recommend it. After all, leopard print is my favourite colour!

Until next time...happy shopping. 

Tickled Pink

Winter is usually the time of year when I whip out all things grey, black and...boring? But this season, I'm having so much fun with all the bright colours on offer. From cobalt coats to purple velvet booties and let's not forget my favourite leopard print - this Winter has it all.

Given my unusually festive mood for this time of the year (I'm a summer girl), I couldn't resist this bright pink tunic  from Free2BU at Edgars. On a grey Winter's day, it's a great way to brighten things up while looking bang on trend. This look is also really versatile - pair with opaque tights and heels for Winter glam or leggings and booties for a more casual look.

Navy is another great colour this season, especially as an alternative to black.  I decided to pair the pink with a navy tee and navy opaques to freshen up the look even more.

Oh, and did I mention the Navy heels? These patent Mary Jane courts (again Free2BU) with the colour-block platform absolutely stole my heart.

Talking about bright colours, I did a shoot a couple of weeks ago which highlighted some of the Autumn/Winter trends for 2012. The models were ladies of all ages and stages of life. Not only did they look fantastic but they were also amazing to work with. Needless to say, we had lots of fun!

And, some of the fab shoes on display...

I hope you're keeping warm during this cold weather - thank goodness for coats!

Until next time...happy shopping.

I'm Gold Babe

I went to the theatre a couple of nights ago and as it was pretty chilly I thought I've got to do something to spice up my look. Now I've always been a bit of a magpie in that I love all things shiny, especially metallics. So to brighten up that drab and dreary night, I donned a pair of gold skinny jeans and felt like a million metallic bucks.

When I saw these pants (from Mr P), it was love at first sight - I knew I simply had to have them. Plus they were the last pair in my size, so no questions asked! I paired them with a black boxy jersey that also had a slight metallic edge - a case of go big or go home. And just in case you're not convinced, metallics look great in night light...

One of the things that I love most about this season is the variety of booties on offer. This black pair of ribbon lace-ups from Woolies go with virtually everything and they're comfortable too - what more could a girl ask for?!

Of course with an outfit as shiny as this one, it's best to keep accessories to a minimum (the Christmas look just doesn't work). And talking about bold looks, I was absolutely blown away by this fabulous Milq and Honey dress worn by the gorgeous TV presenter and radio personality, Tracey Lange.

But wait, there's more... Don't you just love an exposed back?! These stunning patent black courts are from BronxWoman, for whom Tracey is an ambassador.

I hope everybody's off to a good start with their winter coat collection. And remember, this season is all about colour and texture. So if you've ever wanted to combine leather, fur and sequins - now is the time to shine!

Until next time...happy shopping.
