Michael Kors 'Watch Hunger Stop' programme and today's OOTD: Sass & Bide 'Jesus is 1 in my Life' tee and red Chloe Susanna's


Through Sincerely Jules' Instagram and blog, I found out about Michael Kors 'Watch Hunger Stop' programme.  Raising awareness of global hunger and gathering people together to wear this #WATCHHHUNGERSTOP t-shirt, Michael Kors has teamed up with the World Food Programme to help feed hungry people around the world. They’ve helped deliver over 1 million meals…

As a child growing up in Brazil, I was well aware of world hunger, and along with my parents and our church, would visit the 'Favelas' (slums) to distribute donated food to the hungry.  I am very grateful to have had that opportunity, and this cause is very close to my heart.

Today, October 16, is World Food Day… try to spread the word about stopping world hunger and poverty.  Make a difference in someones life, we can all come together and raise awareness around the world.

For those of you fortunate to be in NYC, you can get this free t-shirt to help support this global cause at the Michael Kors stores at Rockefeller Center or Soho today.  Instagram yourself in the t-shirt and hashtag it #WatchHungerStop to be featured on one of the multiple digital billboards in Times Square.

If, like me, you are not in NYC, we can contribute by donating to help stop poverty + hunger HERE.




Today's OOTD (before I found out about the 'Watch Hunger Stop' programme): Sass & Bide 'Jesus is 1 in my life' tee (no longer available), Ksubi jeans and Chloe red Susanna boots (available here and in black here and here)

Shop my Closet Pt 2 - Jackets


I forgot to tell you all that I added a few jackets in my 'store'.  I have loads more to add, but will wait 'til I get back from my trip to Europe.  Please note I leave late next week, so I will 'close' the store on Monday or Tuesday.  Poor timing, I know...But I've been couped up at home with two very sick babies, and I thought: there's no time like the present! So until next Tuesday, items in the store are up for grabs.

The jackets include designers like Burberry, Willow, Vanessa Bruno, and Sass & Bide:

You can click on the image above to go to the store, or here.

London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012 Pt 3: Mary Katrantzou, Sass & Bide, Willow & Todd Lynn


Mary Katrantzou

Mary's scenic prints were as vibrant as always, some dresses featuring trompe l'oeil ribbons that were sure to trick the eye. My favourite silhouettes were those with the puffy bubble-hemmed skirts, now which do you think we'll first see Anna Della Russo in?







Sass & Bide

Although this collection did not have as many favourite pieces as their last, I liked their punchy colours and primary-colour blocking:




Willow

Willow was also 'subdued' in terms of favourite pieces this season, the vibrant cobalt blue and tweed blazer being my faves:






Todd Lynn

Beautiful neutral palette, draping and tailoring with a definite funk and edge:

Oh no she didn't!


I promise I didn't!  I didn't purposefully set out to buy the outfit on the cover of Elle UK Sep'08. After months of oggling the Stella McCartney wooden wedges, it was only after I bought the Burberry Prorsum coat (which I spotted when it reappeared in the Dec '08 Elle UK, but not on the cover I had been staring at for months), that I realized it was the same coat (the coat never registered in my mind, despite loving it, as my eyes were always drawn to the shoes first).

Love that 2nd shot!

Took these pics in a hurry, so I'm sorry they don't do the coat nor the shoes justice (took this pic in a hurry when I got home from work):
(under it: Cue bubble hemmed black pinafore & Alannah Hill 3/4 sleeved turtleneck speckled white knit)
Leona Emiston Pins in Onyx

This coat is very cocoon-shaped, especially from the side, will make a good maternity coat someday...

I was told these shoes run 1/2 a size bigger, so I followed the advice to buy these 1/2 a size bigger, turns out they must run TTS (or large), 'cause I need insoles & heel grips to pad them up!

Off topic, but I'll be adding this Sass & Bide 'All you need is Love' black trench coat with white piping, to my 'shop' it has an interesting print on the inside of the coat (which you can't see when it's on), it has epaulettes on the shoulder, and little belts on the sleeve, and buttons engraved with 'Sass and Bide'. (white spots are from the camera, and not the coat), 100% thick cotton twill, labelled an AUS 10, US 6 (fits a size up or down).

Yep, the print is meant to look like that...

Feliz Pascoa!


Having exceeded my internet download/upload limit, I am now 'punished' with snail pace internet! Oh, the agony!  Wore this Sass & Bide tee on Good Friday (bought this years ago, couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it):
Happy Easter everyone!
