RESOLUTIONS

As the new year approaches I suppose I had to ask myself, what can I do now that I haven't been able to do before?

Finishing school and being able to get a part time job has given me so much time to focus on the things that make me smile. Family, friends, fashion, travel and the internet are a few on which I have been fixated.

Even went back to tumblr today, something that I strayed away from when school life got crazy busy. Check it out at prettty.tumblr.com.

FIVE OR SO SHADES OF GREY

Top to bottom: Calvin Klein SS 08 / silver liquid / Nike luxe sportswear / Kate Moss / Acne SS 11 / Alexander Wang SS 13 / girl at airport / Leonardo Dicaprio. 

Sure, black is sleek. And white is crisp. But what is the value of grey?

For starters, there are at least fifty shades ie. blue grey, grey marle, silver, charcoal, pale grey etc. As the hue between black and white, grey hints of versatility and transeasonal dressing. It is the palette cleanser that will surely fuel many outfit lusts to come...

WALKING ON A WILTING WONDERLAND

Clockwise, from top middle: Shakuhachi rose dress / Triangl swimwear / August Street playsuit / plants from Eclectic Edition instagram / Karla Spetic top / OPI nail polish / Witchery shorts / Urban Outfitters bralet / Clare Vivier leopard clutch / Shakuhachi skirt / NARS nail polish / Lover The Label top / Dion Lee dress / Shakuhachi Odyssey sunglasses.

Look up 'wilt' in the dictionary and you'll find it is when a plant becomes limp through heat and a loss of fluid. I suppose, as Aussies, we have become warriors at overcoming this all year round. We've embraced the sea, the salt and the heat with open arms, while, some use it as an excuse to purchase as many beauty products as possible.

Our boisterous sun culture has made for some telling statements from the Aussie fashion industry. I am loving rich red tones and chilling whites and blues - a perfect metaphor about life on the sand and the sea.

Love that my Christmas wishlist can be inspired by the Australian summer... Merry Christmas to all!

CRAZY SHIFTED LOVE

Clockwise, from top middle: Twiggy / Lindsey Wixson in Victoria Beckham / Shakuhachi / Cara Delevingne in Costume National / 4.collective sleeveless / Princess Polly / Alexander Wang / Asos leopard print / Kate Moss for US Vogue 1995 / Olivia Palermo in Free People / Lavish Alice / Cara Delevingne / Princess Polly / Bambi Northwood Blyth / Gabby Westbrook Patrick & Maddison Brown in Louis Vuitton / metallic grey marle shift / Emma Cook Joanie dress / Alexander Wang / Dragonberry / Jackie Kennedy Onassis / Shakuhachi.

At first glance of my Christmas wishlist, it is all too clear that shift dresses seem to be my flavour of the month. Always been a fan of sixties mod style and the silhouettes it has influenced, and it is high time I paid homage. As you can see, I'm particularly loving the bold colours and prints.

So I dedicate my first post to my new staple - shift dress. Hoping someone can find a bit of Christmas gift inspiration in this sea of shifts!
