I've loved Toddy's sleepwear for some time now (not that I've been able to afford any as of yet). Their onesies have always been the stand out for me and their current tuxedo style is no exception. Plus how can you say no to a functional bum flap? haha
You can find this over at http://www.toddy.com.au

What can I really say about this that the picture doesn't already tell you? this is love.

Robert Downey Jr's Oscars outift is pretty much my favourite thing ever atm! He looks so adorably dashing. Quirk factor is right up there but not in a laughable way. Chic. Tres Chic.

I love the concept of this amazing dress designed by Michiel Schuurman and Berber Soepboer. I would love to see how people have customised this dress. It's just too awesome. What colours would you choose?

Never again will I tell myself I'm too broke to browse my favourite shopping sites. Never again will I avoid the temptations of fashion glory because due to my seemingly sensible thriftiness I have missed out on the most lovely shoes I have ever laid eyes on.

These amazing Andy Warhol inspired pieces of wearable art will haunt me until either the day I acquire a pair or the day I die. Whichever comes first... I'm going to go lick my wounds in private. Please excuse me...

oh and by the way if you're wondering where I found these they're at modcloth.com and they only have 1 pair left at the moment in a 6.5 which is certainty not my size. le sigh

Today's ideal outfit.

This costume is genius! I would wear this just to go shopping. It's brilliant!
I need someone with sewing skills to help me make one.

Miss Rita Hayworth. So very lovely.

I have many current wants (as is my nature) but 3 of them happen to come from the same place so I thought I'd post them here...

and they are -



The first one is a pocket watch and while it's kind of kitsch I just adore it. The second is a pair of vintage shoes that might not even fit me but I like them nonetheless. The last is what I've been looking for. A fire engine red dress in a style I like. Tres cute.

What do you think?

Sportsgirl, thank you so much for your current collection! Some of the pieces are simply gorgeous. The thing i'm most coverting at the moment however, are these AMAZING shoes.

I must own them. I simply must. So beautiful.
sigh.

if only...

my latest and greatest want is this adorable clutch from none other then modcloth.

Peter Alexander are known for bringing the pretty and bring it they have this season. I'm in lust with this lovely floral jumpsuit. I think I'd look rubbish in it but I love it none the less...What do you think?

I don't know if it's just the non existent dancer inside me but lately I've been loving these adorable ballet flats from www.bonadrag.com

They make me want to pirouette like nothing else. So pretty.x

Chances are I'll never quite make enough money to be able to afford designer items but if I could then this outfit would be at the top of my list.

The coat is Burberry. The dress is Stella McCartney. The bag is Marc Jacobs. All of it is gorgeous.

All this year the colour that has really stood out to me has been purple. Every time I see a shade, whether it be violet, lavender or plum, I can't help but take note. These lovely hues have been popping up all over the place and I for one am glad of it.

In honor of this gloriously girly colour I scoured Modcloth for some of my favorite purple finds. Although, I don't recommend wearing them all at the same time.

Do enjoy.x

I was reading Harper's Bazaar yesterday and was trying to remember how long this prestigious magazine had been in print. My guess was since about the 1920's.

I could not have been more wrong... Harper's Bazaar was first published in 1867 and the first cover looked a little something like this >>

They've come a long way since then. I decided to look up some of their former cover arts and I must say that 'art' is definitely the right way to describe it. Some of the covers are simply beautifully and would look lovely mounted on just about any wall.

I'm sure the magazine has gone through many changes over the years but the one that stands out to me the most (and somewhat puzzles me) would have to be the change in spellings. Why is it that they use to spell Bazaar with only one 'a' and what made them feel the need to add an extra one?

As far as fashion magazines go it's pretty much this (and British Vogue when the mood strikes me). The Bazaar is the perfect magazine to sit back, a cup of caffeine in hand and relax with. Plus I have to admit that I have a thing for the historic at the moment (as proved by my previous Max Factor blog).

I can't imagine many newer magazines these days sticking it out for the long haul the way Harper's has done (except maybe Australia's very own Frankie mag...but that might just be wishful thinking).

Also if you're wondering the issue I was just reading was this one >>

Quite a good issue if you're after a magazine read.

Miss Stella McCartney's most recent fashion campaign is starring non other then our lovely friends from the forest, Bambi, Thumper and Flower.

Apparently the idea from which stemmed from her love of animals and her beliefs regarding their welfare (as well as her love for the Disney classic itself).

Her current season's designs are glamorous and liberating, animalistic in feel and freeing in nature.

The images, shot by Ryan McGinley, were taken in the woods of Worcestershire, England, the perfect backdrop for Bambi and co to drop by for a round of whose cutest. The animals or the clothes?

I personally love this ad campaign. So many fashion campaigns are harsh and disturbing, making me forget what it is their trying to sell in the first place.

Unlike this which is sweet and transporting making me first notice the images of all of our childhoods but then directly take stock of the gorgeous garments also featured. Fantastic effect. Original and classic all at the same time.

Kudos Stella!

My dress obsession is getting a little out of control these days. I'm honestly not sure how many it is I own now. I'm never at a loss for more that I'd like either.

Thus proved by this fabulous little number (left). It's from a site that I actually discovered through my boyfriends mum. ezibuy.com.au

This site has some pretty lame stuff. Only to be worn if you're over 40 but it also has damn gorgeous threads as well.

And to make it even better a lot of the exceedingly pretty things go on sale quite often.

And I'm not taking lame, 10% off type sales I'm talking like "this jacket was $178.99 down to $40.00. It's insane. Plus this stuff is meant to be great quality too. i.e perfect place to buy staples from - the kind of clothes you're not going to get sick of in 3 months time and will last you for years.

hooray for Internet shopping!
