Ch-ch-check out the best time ever web comic Anyone for Rhubarb and enjoy, support, spread the word and bookmark at your convenience :)

Anyone for Rhubarb?

February 25, 2011 Leggings and new boots.

Pining for these.

As seen on Claire Incorruptable's website. Check out their website for more delicious high fashion vintage and designer knock-offs, straight from down under. Beware though, it's a little pricey. 

Also feeling excited about my new boots from Acne, which are completely inappropriate for spring. They are the taller version of the draw ankle boots, in black leather. Couldn't find a picture of the ones I got, but this should give you an idea. 


February 25, 2011 Nail polish trends for Spring 2011

Spring is bursting at the seams and its time for bright and colourful polish for your spring-nails.
Peach, nudes, green, pale blue and lavender. Heres a quick pick of great nail polishes for the season.

Theres no getting around Essie (for spring or ever for that matter). Let alone their spring 2011 nail polish collection French Affair.

Beautiful pastel hues in the colours Nice is Nice, Cote Azure and French Affair. Pretty and coquettish for all your spring nail needs, fits perfectly with 60's silhouettes and bouncy ponytails.

 
I also adore the more neutral shades in the collection, Topless & Barefoot, Sand Tropez and Kisses And Bises. Sandy, creamy and light, they are a more toned down and relaxed side of the French Affair collection. 

When going for neutral and soft shades, as nudes remain a fashion stable, one shouldn't forget another classic from Essie, Ballet Slippers and Chanel's lovely Inattendu (pictured here with Chanel's other nail polishes, Particulière and Tendresse, also from 2010), which both remain two of my favourite neutral nail polishes for spring.

I wont be going for these myself, but it's difficult to get around gun metal grays and shiny topcoatings. Heres a bid from Chanel in the form of Black Pearl and Mac's Very Important Platinum.



And finally, for a burst of colour, I'm going for coral shades and green, green, green. Heres Coral Reef, also from Essie and Pretty Edgy, also from...well, Essie. This is turning out to be a pretty Essie-dominated post. Sorry about that :)





For a cheaper alternative, H&M is currently stocking Spring Nails nail polishes, which are small pocket sized nail polishes in delightful spring colours. I recently acquired a cute coral and a pastel yellow, that I can't wait to wear.

February 25, 2011 Back from babymaking and some new clothes from American Apparel

Sorry about the hiatus. Had to deliver a baby :)

Just a quick post about some lovely new purchases that arrived in the mail over the last few days.

Chiffon oversized button up from American Apparel. Great for spring, handy for mommy-ing. 58USD at American Apparels US-site. I wish I could get it in all its multitude of colours.


Crochet lace jumper, also from American Apparel. 49 euros at AA's european site So dreamy. I can't wait to wear it.




More updates soon!

February 25, 2011 To die for

Must somehow find the funds for these gray suede Proenza Shouler laceup booties.

Oh my goodness. Or maybe in a warm delicious brown?
Zing! went the strings of my heart.

February 25, 2011 Top Five Shoes for Spring

Heres what I'd be wearing on my feet if I had all the money in the world. So many beautiful shoes for spring.

Sarah Burton lifting the legacy of Alexander Mcqueen. Pure art. 


Wedges, wedges, wedges from Frank Tell's S/S11 runway show.

Gorgeous platform ballerinas or sandals from Won Hundred. Heart. Get them at Won Hundred Shop.

Towering to the high heavens on these gorgeous wooden wedges from Charles Anastase. 

Beautiful booties from Dior for those chilly spring days. 

February 25, 2011 Sometime soon and a little bit about Spring fashion

Really, really pregnant right now. Soon I will have my body back and will return with posts on fun spring and summer-fashion.

Heres what has me excited in fashion this spring:

The Seventies - soft, flowy silhouettes, but especially high-waisted widelegged jeans.


Although I rarely stray from a crisp, black wardrobe, the coming of all this colour to liven up the spring brings joy to my heart. Check out Pantones bid on the popping colours of spring. 

The elegant silhouette of the Fifites and Sixties - bopping ponytails and all.



That clogs are sticking around for spring, so I can wear those Jeffrey Campbell Snicks that barely got on my feet last summer. They should go well with some flared high-waisted jeans.
Now to this seasons dreadful fashion return: The Kitten Heel. Ugliest, most unflattering heel ever. Why does it keep coming back so relentlessly?
