Aerial



My obsession with this aerial print by Sara Phillips started months ago. I've worn the blazer, shirt and dress versions previously in a shoot I did with Zanita here, but the shirt has made its way in to my few favourite and surprisingly easiest pieces to wear. The vapourous, earthly print is actually an aerial photograph printed on to the silk. Over fashion week I wore it buttoned up and tucked in to a maxi skirt, and black mini leather skirt but for an outfit post I wanted to bring out the unbelievable natural colour. 

Fashion week is over! I will be posting some video footage later this week, but in the mean time am so happy to have extended my stay here in the city. Fingers crossed I can extend again to a more permanent status, but for now every extra moment won't be wasted.

Lacquer


Wearing: Michael Lo Sordo dress, vintage YSL handbag, Zara heels, Uniqlo thermal tights.

Last Sunday evening was the 2012 Bloglovin' Awards here in New York, where it was surreal to be in a ballroom full of those you presume you already know regards to the internet. It was amazing to be able to meet everyone and get to know them personally, seeing just how original and different each personality is rather than assuming from their blogs. Thank you so much to everyone for the support and votes the last few weeks, I know just how blessed I am to have been nominated at all!

Being the only Australian nominated I decided to represent Aussies a little further, wearing this amazing split hem, asymmetrical gold dress by Michael Lo Sordo. The boiled wool with gold lacquer was bold enough with minimal jewellery, and my favourite vintage YSL handbag I found in Paris a years ago for a few Euro.
