Sleek Chic Metallics
Mirror Mirror On The Wall, Who Is The Fairest Of Them All?
Sleek, shimmering Metallics…
High shine meets irresistible polish, with metallic looks so chic they exude effortless shiny style
Sublime when paired with minimal, clean-cut pieces, metallics add a gorgeous gloss to your look. Across the Spring / Summer 2012 runways, designers dipped their pieces in glistening gold and silver adding a rich texture and shining optimism.
Sleek Accessories
Metallic accessories pack a punch. Wear with a crisp white shirt dress (a la Gianfranco Ferré); soft neutrals; or bold brights for startling panache. Metallics are the perfect exclamation point in your look. At Gianfranco Ferré metallic handbags and belts were daring against clean white; while at Yves Saint Laurent metallic detailing screamed of opulent allure.
High Gloss Embellishment
Head-to-toe shine stopped traffic at Hakaan and Gucci. Metallics added dazzling beauty and a modern edge to cocktail dresses and evening gowns. Pieces shimmered in ‘Mermaid-esque’ sequins for decedent dressing. At Gucci art deco inspired embellishment was polished, glossy and chic; while at Hakaan the classic white tee brought a fresh simplicity to a sequined pencil skirt.
Conjuring images of fresh modern glamour, metallics are heavenly chic for Summer… xx

Indulge In Beautiful Sleepwear
Pyjamas are one of my favourite little indulgences. Luxurious, comfortable and chic – there is something decadently alluring about slipping into bed in style.
Pyjamas have an unmistakable charm. It’s a quiet luxury and languid sophistication. Draping loosely around the body, a classic pair of men’s style pyjamas evoke nonchalant vintage glamour.
Coco Chanel recognised the effortless style and beautiful fluidity of a classic pair of pyjamas. During the 1920’s, Chanel would often lounge in her pyjamas (which at the time were considered inappropriate for women). She started to create luxurious sets for her clients using patterned silk, satin and Indian cotton and the trend soon caught on.
Many designers continue to reinterpret the classic pyjama style with fresh vigour and panache. From Tom Ford to Louis Vuitton, designer pyjamas bring additional luxury to these gorgeous pieces.
A perfect pick-me-up, indulge in some beautiful sleepwear as a special gift to yourself…
Some Pyjama inspiration…
Did you know… Claudette Colbert, the silent film star, was the first woman to appear on screen wearing pyjamas? They were silk Chanel of course xx
What I Wore Today…
This is quite the monumental style post for me as I can honestly say I haven’t worn a pair of trousers for approx. 1 ½ years (well only to the gym – but that doesn’t really count)!
I am usually just a dresses & skirts kinda-gal, but these cigarette-length chinos really caught my eye. So I decided to give trousers another try in my wardrobe. I teamed them with the top & cocktail ring I also brought at Witchery last weekend; my Prada handbag; Mollini heels; & my new orange beret… oh la la!
I must have been in quite the ‘Autumnal mood’ as each purchase I brought home was within this orange / brown / neutral tonal palette. I cannot wait for colder Autumn & Winter weather in Australia now… hello hats, hosiery and gorgeous coats! Oh how I have missed you!
