<div style="text-align: center;">Oh the joys of being of 6ft tall with legs not far behind... Well you can pull off a sheer dress sans pants, for one. And, no, we're not talking another <a href="http://www.ivillage.com/lady-gaga-shops-without-pants-paris/1-a-308696">Lady Gaga</a> or <a href="http://style.mtv.com/2011/07/07/taylor-momsen-no-pants-shirtless-fans/">Taylor Momsen</a> pantsless episode, which just so happen to be regular occurrences nowadays anyway. Photographed here in beautiful Paris (oui oui), Polish model <a href="http://models.com/models/Anja-Rubik">Anja Rubik</a> actually manages to look somewhat demure in this see through chiffon lace number. Maybe it's the fact she's wearing a full brief underneath? I think those never-ending pins might also have something to do with it... but under-things aside, let's turn our attention to THAT dress! The cut! That detail! Those cute 3/4 sleeves! And perfect mid-length! Ohh... It's love.</div><div style="text-align: center;">As you might have guessed I now really <strike>want</strike> need one for my own. I needed to investigate.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And then. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.shakuhachi.net/product_detail.php?id=502">I found it</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Or a suitable copy at least.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What's more, it's on SALE, along with the entire Shakuhachi Pre Fall 2011 range. Everything online is up to 60% off - I'm literally salivating over the keyboard as I write this - And my dress, available in three different colours, also comes with a mini slip for those of you who prefer to keep their bits under wraps. I highly suggest you check out the sale <a href="https://www.shakuhachi.net/">here</a>, it's only while stocks last!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Spotted: Gywnnie rocking the very outfit she showcased in one of her recent weekly newsletters from <a href="http://www.goop.com/">GOOP. </a>She copped a good bit of flak for this edition, chastised for being ridiculously out of touch after recommending a wardrobe of summer basics that came in at around $18,000 in total. Meh . . . I could not have cared less. I'm all for a little aspiration, without it life's as bland as beige. I was happy as larry to see her looking envy-inducingly good in this <a href="http://www.mytheresa.com/uk_en/lurex-detail-dress-100002.html?t=2&siteID=uX705jPoOnM-8dT5suR.F7uijlbZXdxOSQ&quid=61083013421S1096568T&gkid=acxuX705jPoOnM&siteID=uX705jPoOnM-8dT5suR.F7uijlbZXdxOSQ&utm_source=Affilate&utm_medium=INT&utm_campaign=2">Étoile Isabel Marant mini dress</a> and a pair of <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/intl/product/96961?cm_mmc=FashionFix-_-ProductList-_-Givenchy-_-96961">Givenchy Crossover Leather Sandals</a> en route to a Beyoncé concert in London. And for all you literal ladies out there - you do not have to buy this exact look. Simply find something of the like and style it in a similar way. Even better, give it your own twist. You'll look (almost) just as good. </div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Isabel Marant has done it again, casually churning out another cult piece that will be seen on just about everyone by the time the northern hemisphere summer is out. Ms Moss has done her bit to ensure this happens - slipping on a pair while the eyes of the world were on her in the lead up to her wedding. There will be copies popping up soon, but for those who like your style authentic, you can buy the originals <a href="http://www.mytheresa.com/int_en/pliro-striped-lace-up-pants.html">here.</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There's something about American interiors that really float my houseboat. More specifically, the Cape Cod/Hamptons-esque style featured here. An integral part of this aethetic is the generous and cosy crisp white spaces, punctuated with accents of blue (typically in shades of royal, navy and cornflower). There is really no better way to work this combination, than with a striped rug. It's relaxed and casual yet crisp and sophisticated at the same time. And if you ask me, you really can't go wrong with anything blue and white, it's my fave colour combo of all time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been wearing <i>Carnal Flower</i> for just over 6 months now and never before have I had so many people, both men and women alike, tell me that I smell good and ask me what I'm wearing. Created by Dominique Ropion for Frederic Malle Editions de Parfums, this is a fragrance that packs a decadent tuberose punch. Ropion (a star 'nose' who has created fragrances such as Victor & Rolf 'Flowerbomb', Lancome 'Tresor in Love', Dior 'Pure Poison, Carcharel 'Amor, Amor' and the first fragrance I ever fell in love with - Ralph Lauren 'Safari'), took almost 2 years to perfect his creation, which is said to have the highest concentration of tuberose of any perfume on the market. Other delicious notes include Bergamot, Melon, Eucalyptus, Ylang Ylang, Salycilates, Jasmine, Orange Blossom, absolute Coconut and White Musks. I had been a longtime devotee of Serge Lutens, <i>Fleur d'Oranger, </i>content in my surety that no other fragrance possessed the power to make me switch. That was until I came across Carnal Flower. And the rest they say, is history. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">I am married to the love of my life, who also happens to be a veg-aquarian. Who only really eats fish to be polite. So for a girl who comes from a long line of carnivores (we're farming stock, after all), that meant a whole lot of head scratching when it came to dreaming up dinner choices. Six years on, I'm proud to say I have the vegie dinner thing sussed, with a whole swag of meat-free recipes now filling my cooking repertoire. One of my newer additions is this Penne <span class="textheadline">Puttanesca dish, courtesy of Mario Batali (</span>arguably one of the most recognized and respected chefs working in America today<span class="textheadline">). It's insanely delish. One forkfull of this and you'll (almost) never think about </span>bolognese again.<i><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you haven't checked out the latest vanity project by reality star-come-author/designer Lauren Conrad (and her hair and make-up maestro's, Kristen Ess and Amy Nadine), take a minute or two to do so - it's really quite neat:<a href="http://www.thebeautydepartment.com/"> www.thebeautydepartment.com</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Whilst I tend to flick over the beauty posts (I'm still waiting to see something 'new' - anyone??), where I believe this site really comes into its own is thanks to its helpful hair tutorials. LC's hair is nary seen looking less than perfect (or perfectly dishevelled), and here her beauty team provides some very simple and straightforward directions to achieve her most requested looks. This particular up-do is oh-so pretty, seems quite easy to achieve and nicely falls between looking too-casual or overly-formal, making it perfect for a multitude of occasions.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Tools you’ll need: curling iron (to prep the hair, as per video below), sectioning clips (I think most of us will need a trip to Priceline for these), teasing comb or brush, clear elastic rubber band, bobby pins, light to medium holding hairspray (to mist over at the end).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">This dress is all kinds of awesome. The Emilio Pucci Spring/Summer 2011 mini is a smack-down showstopper with its demure halter neckline, sexy back opening and woven-embellishment/mirror detailing (complete with tassles, no less). And that how about that colour? A super-charged, centre-of-attention, electrifying blue. It's hot, it's expensive and I think you can buy it <a href="http://www.emiliopucci.com/item/store/EMILIO+PUCCI/tskay/B9526778/rr/1/cod10/34193168KR/areaid//sts/">here.</a> The reason I say 'I think', is that the Emilio Pucci site is in Italian, a language that past pizza and pasta, is one in which I'm not particularly fluent. But if you jump on the site and go to 'Shop Online', you'll see the dress in all its resplendent glory - no need to understand another language, the picture speaks a thousand words. </div></div>The Striped Teehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16364035721784227529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151229889823928298.post-65983204932812533592011-06-08T07:14:00.000-07:002011-06-08T09:27:04.203-07:00honeydew.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMr465PxsuFdArJOBjiMext7DcgmZuXi-hpCWqqDZ9PaXQ78ojZY9yQOYPyXikcfxvgshHUVZH0QYvhyphenhyphentL7XHinTWTvyZKJUPVkBwe5sCtumEkqRfgEEnTUZzBRMYXvy0YjmTvi4324CKU/s1600/rosie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMr465PxsuFdArJOBjiMext7DcgmZuXi-hpCWqqDZ9PaXQ78ojZY9yQOYPyXikcfxvgshHUVZH0QYvhyphenhyphentL7XHinTWTvyZKJUPVkBwe5sCtumEkqRfgEEnTUZzBRMYXvy0YjmTvi4324CKU/s1600/rosie.jpg" /></a></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">It's hard to find the words to describe just how gorgeous Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked on the red carpet at the <i>Glamour Women of the Year Awards</i>. With her luminous, dewy skin, perfectly brushed-out waves, deep side part and tonal bronze makeup, Miss Huntington-Whiteley looked every bit the natural beauty we all wish we would just so happened to be blessed with in this world. Genetics aside, we're also loving the laidback-but-done look she's working! The best thing is that you can dress it up or dress it down as much as you like. And, we're going to show you just how easy it is to recreate (with a little help from our friends at <a href="http://www.primped.com.au/">Primped</a>).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtNl5WFu8qG5ZtE2GheNlq3uJ0XX1dAR2qTwY_s-QEPzJTCn5CdVyhUSBRKLDCmNfCzomJRyzxluRW5Mpp8fb1-8iWJUUOeRD8w3lS579Ptmp9aFljQbPHNBqEu42hFq83lEzpdLR6aeer/s1600/page+break+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="53" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtNl5WFu8qG5ZtE2GheNlq3uJ0XX1dAR2qTwY_s-QEPzJTCn5CdVyhUSBRKLDCmNfCzomJRyzxluRW5Mpp8fb1-8iWJUUOeRD8w3lS579Ptmp9aFljQbPHNBqEu42hFq83lEzpdLR6aeer/s320/page+break+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<b>For the deep side part:</b> firstly decide what side you're going to part your hair on. Drawing a straight line from the corner of your eyebrow all the way back to behind the crown, divide and brush hair over to one side.<br />
<br />
To achieve Rosie's effortless brushed-out bounce, prep you hair with a sea salt or gloss spray (depending on your desired result). Give your roots a blast with a hairdryer to add some texture and volume.<br />
<br />
Using a straightener, create waves and movement by sectioning hair into smaller parts and pulling the iron downwards from the roots at a 90 degree angle. For a looser curl, softly brush them out.<br />
<br />
For added volume, backcomb the crown area to create height. Smooth over any fly-aways and spray with hairspray to finish the look. Brad Ngata explains:</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><i>Handy tip: flipping your hair over when blasting your roots or using hairspray will help to set your fabulous big do.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">As soon as I clapped eyes on Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana smouldering away in Paris Vogue's - June/July spread, I saw the source. Back in 1989, Linda Evangelista was captured in all her feline glory in the now iconic 'Cuba' editorial, photographed by maestro Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia. As you can see for yourself, the Vogue Paris 'tribute' (personally styled by Editor Emmanuelle Alt), is closely verging on copy-cat territory. This is the third issue of Vogue Paris to hit stands under Alt's reign following Carine Roitfeld's exit, so many have raised the question as to why she is referencing the past rather than paving the way for the magazine's future? Regardless of its originality, the contemporary 'Cuba' shoot is undeniably stunning, and also gave us a good reason to bust out one of the all time classics from the archives. It's also introduced me to <i>that</i> electric blue Emilio Pucci dress (middle, left hand side pic). But that's a whole 'nother post altogether!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Back towards the end of year, the superstar of the Marant stable was the 'Poppy' Suede Pump. Like everyone else, I wanted a pair. I couldn't, however, quite justify purchasing a pair. So when I started to notice copies of the 'Poppy' hitting the chains, it was like reacquainting with a long lost friend. Further research also uncovered that the real-deal is now going for a far more respectable price on net-a-porter, coming in at 40% off.

From the nice & neat through to the artfully texturised versions, this look frames the face perfectly and can be altered to suit most styles and tastes. For all the creative (or conscientous) types out there, add a little extra interest by pulling ribbon or fabric through the plaits - like centre pic above.

Spare a thought for the London Mum's who do the daily school run with Claudia Schiffer. Every day they get dressed knowing that they'll be sharing the footpath with a former supermodel. Who shows up looking like this. However, credit where credit is due, we LOVED the look she paraded for the paparazzi this week - the epitome of effortless chic. Of course it helps to have a driver (other pics show her stepping out of a chauffeured car - no road rage worries for Claudia), and the budget to buy those seriously hot <i><a href="http://www.stylebop.com/product_details.php?id=183431&utm_source=affiliate&utm_medium=linkshare&utm_campaign=linkshareUSA&partner=linkshareUSA&siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-32QYVCkFo4NiipqMvCmRGQ">SERGIO ROSSI Cut-out Wedges</a> </i>and <i><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446402056&site_refer=AFF001&site_refer=AFF001&siteID=idBRCHEwd9g-K3p9vXIA2JpZc1gyFD_FLQ&LScreativeid=885133316651&LSlinkid=2&LSoid=203719&LSsid=idBRCHEwd9g">GUCCI Snaffle Bit Bag</a>, </i>but Claudia sure is one yummy mummy.<i> </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Every other Saturday my husband and I head to a quaint little French cafe,<a href="http://mydeliciousblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/rouge-la-cuisine-darmadale-melbourne.html"> Rouge</a>, for a late breakfast/early lunch. Inevitably, I order the croque-monsieur because nothing else comes close to it's cheesy deliciousness. That was until I saw this version featuring the addition of a fried egg, sunny side up, also known as the croque-madame. Surely, French for yum?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Pair these Summer and Winter staples together, for a versatile look to add to your cooler weather rotation. The casual edit calls for well-worn denim (the more distressed the better), slouchy tops, comfy cardies and flats, whilst the more polished version features heels, tailored blazers and a stunning statement bag. Better still, most of us have versions of these items already stashed away in our wardrobes, making it a wallet friendly addition to one's current repertoire.</div></div>The Striped Teehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16364035721784227529noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151229889823928298.post-58208119145963395482011-05-22T18:55:00.000-07:002011-05-23T21:40:54.488-07:00Freedom, take two?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGMg6AkHmvoYN5V8SqOuCs2C7ZdCU7lrT3ckR03DxQODyw2imGInPSTsvwjcMnPwdM24rBM2ZfLVk1toVv46uMipn2dB0vAKIlVe6AYH4Ze7BGB5NQb9xSvrvcOtCBpxZtJh9ZTDEL1LoR/s1600/6a00d8341c013b53ef01157117e76a970c-800wi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGMg6AkHmvoYN5V8SqOuCs2C7ZdCU7lrT3ckR03DxQODyw2imGInPSTsvwjcMnPwdM24rBM2ZfLVk1toVv46uMipn2dB0vAKIlVe6AYH4Ze7BGB5NQb9xSvrvcOtCBpxZtJh9ZTDEL1LoR/s640/6a00d8341c013b53ef01157117e76a970c-800wi.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Quite possibly <i>the</i> defining fashion moment of the 90's when the almighty supermodel reigned </div><div style="text-align: center;">supreme, was the George Michael "Freedom" video that starred Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, and Cindy Crawford. So when <i><a href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/fashion/archive/2011/05/20/duran-duran-supermodel-video.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Grazia</a> </i>reported that model <b style="font-weight: normal;"> </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-weight: normal;">Yasmin Le Bon</b> - one of the original 'supers' and wife of Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon - </div><div style="text-align: center;">had been pushing to reunite her genetically gifted alumni to appear in the music video for the </div><div style="text-align: center;">band's upcoming single, a collective interest was piqued.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The shoot is to reportedly take place this week in Cannes, featuring the who's who from the 'we don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day' set, including the one and only Miss Kate Moss. Coincidentally, Moss revealed to <a href="http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG8519554/Kate-Moss-Id-like-to-be-Lady-Kate.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>The Telegraph</i></a> only last week that maybe her one career regret is that she missed the "Freedom" video - apparently it was filmed just before she hit the big time. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh, how I loved this book. Devoured it. Poured over every page. Just ate it up. The second book by interior stylist, author and owner of <a href="http://www.thesocietyinc.com.au/">The Society Inc</a>, Sibella Court, it packages her inimitable style into a unique (and totally user-friendly) guide to the city that never sleeps. You get only a few page turns into this book, and you realise Sibella really knows her subject. After living and working as a highly successful stylist in New York for some 11 years, she well and truly has the who, what and where of this town sussed. Clearly produced with the the keen eye of an insider with a lifestyle/interiors bent, the book has been arranged into loops of interest such as ‘Jewellery & Hardware’, ‘Haberdashers & Handmade’ and ‘Furniture & Interiors’ to allow the reader to pick their journey of fancy. That being said, it must be noted that this is not solely a retail trail, as Sibella has even gone to the trouble to schedule in stops for square meals, smaller snacks, sugar-boosts, coffee fixes and refreshments of the sterner variety. Other tightly edited focus areas include services, galleries, markets, city survival tips, maps and thorough indexes.<a href="http://www.readings.com.au/product/9781742661087/sibella-court-stylists-guide-to-nyc"> The Stylist’s Guide to NYC</a> is an indispensable reference for anyone visiting, living or dreaming of New York, yearning to experience more than just the 'usual' stuff. If this sounds like you, go buy it. 'Nuff said.<span style="font-family: arial;"><br />
