I am off to Australian Fashion Week (aka MBFWA - Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week Australia) next week - now, what to wear?


Yes, in a semi-last minute decision, I applied late, decided late, booked my flights to Sydney over this weekend to leave next Sunday! I learnt the hard way during Paris Couture Week that even mid heels are murder on my feet, and after the first day vowed to stick to sneakers and/or my Isabel Marant Dicker boots for the rest of the week, irrespective of how uncool I looked.  I think I will be doing the same this time, even though I'd love to wear snazzy heels, it's just not realistic with my lack of high-heel tolerance. And comfort always comes first.

what to wear?

I vacillate between wanting to dress like I do everyday (jeans, tee, flats/sneakers/low heels), and then also wanting to wear some items that I don't get the chance to wear all the time, since I will actually have my hands free from the little ones. Am thinking of these dresses (although my horse dress is the 'reverse', cream horse on brown, and almost ankle length on me, haha):

As much as I'd love them teamed with strappy sandals I may resort to Dicker boots for comfort...

Anybody else going to MBFWA? If not, what would you wear?

Happy Monday everyone!

Pre-Fall 2012: Glamour at Chanel, Zac Posen & Oscar de la Renta


I am sorry it has been so long between posts, I have been battling an almighty virus/flu for the last 2 weeks (as has Lil Brigs', which only seems to drain my already drained body further). I can't believe that in the meantime, the Pre-Fall collections are upon us already! Although I agree with Dries Van Noten, that fashion needn't be a 'revolving door' with 4 collections a year, I found that there are already some gorgeous looks for this 'season':

Chanel

Taking inspiration from India (despite never having visited the country), Karl's Pre-Fall collection for Chanel sported some gorgeous draped sari-inspired skirts and heavy embellishments:












Zac Posen

As a big fan of Zac Posen for years, I lost slight interest in his designs of late, but his latest collection seemed to go back to his earlier days somewhat. My favourite pieces were the simple white wool crepe sheath with anatomical seaming designed to diminish your waist, and those that featured his obsession with chinoiserie and the idea of creating European couture shapes out of Eastern fabrics:





Oscar de la Renta

Tons of glamour with a dash of casual elegance thrown here and there:

Resort 2011 Pt 6: Chris Benz, J. Mendel, Zac Posen & Doo.Ri


Chris Benz





J. Mendel

This dance & movement inspired collection was absolutely gorgeous! The fluid long gowns (especially the orange and one-shouldered nude dresses), jersey pieces and chunky encrusted top are calling my name...








Zac Posen








Doo.Ri

LOVED the casual elegance at Doo.Ri, especially her draped pieces and gorgeousrasberries & cream prints:
