Christmas Wishlist

Christmas is just hours away and I'm already shaking with excitement. The tree is up, packed with present underneath it for tomorrow morning! So, today I thought I'd share with you what I'm hoping to unwrap in the morning (it's never going to happen but a girl can dream right?)

I have been wanting heeled sneakers for months now but I can just never seem to come across the right ones or the right size. I saw Beyonce sporting a blue pair of these that looked amazing and have been wanting them ever since, though I do like the sand ones a lot more.

It has literally been a year since my obsession with leather began, and it all started with a pair of black leather leggings which I have been craving for yonks now but things just never seem to work out between the two of us :(
These Oasis ones I am just utterly in love with, their cut, their shape, the high rise, the matte yet glossy look of the faux leather it's all just perfect!

My sister found this maxi in Forever New the other day while we were Christmas shopping and if it weren't so out of my price range i would've bought it then and there. I love the fact that you can dress it up or down, with a leather jacket and sandals or big jewelled necklace and some heels. Love, Love, LOVE it!

Of course, the Jeffrey Campbell 'Lita'. I don't think you could ever go wrong with this shoe, I am just in complete love with it. This is the original, but the whole range, every colour, every fabric is just perfect, there is not a single 'Lita' I don't like. It's been around for a while now but I don't think it will really go 'out' of fashion. It's times like this when I wish my bank balance was never ending!

Finding the perfect jumpsuit is probably one of the hardest tasks in the universe. This ASOS one is always sold out which makes me so angry because of how badly I want it! Really any nicely fitted jumpsuit would do but I love how simple yet well fitted and cut this one is and its electric colour. Maybe it'll be a Christmas Miracle?

Tuxedo pants have really made their way into my heart in the last couple of months. These were a nice and affordable pair I spotted on Macy's put really anything similar would give you the relaxed yet sophisticated look. I love how many ways these pats can be dressed up or down and how many outfits you can make with them. Definitely wishing for these!!

Denim is my weakness what can I say. The studs, the collar, the shape, this Topshop dress is definitely not a need, but a serious want!!

Shorts, Shorts, Shorts. My shorts drawer is already overflowing so I am terrible for wanting more but these numbers just make me drool. The pink Danni short from Forever New is the first one, I feel terrible for wanting these so I'm not going to go into detail about them but they're great. Black leather shorts I have been waning for a long long time as well, but again, my luck with them is just terrible. I think if i ever got these I would never take them off. And last of all, the Korolina Floral print short from Forever New again. I can just picture all these outfits in my tea, someone stop me!!

This dress, I could just drool over. It's leather top (total giveaway for why I like it so much) and uniform skirt with the pockets and leather panels its just great! You could wear it anywhere and everywhere and its mix of pattern and texture it's really a genius dress. Let's pray that Santa's super generous this year!

And last (finally) but not least, this whole outfit Blake Lively is wearing I just adore. It is ridiculously perfect, from its simple yet graceful J Crew shirt, to the flouncy skirt with the colour popping blazer and statement booties AHHHH! I NEED this. STAT.

Anyway there is my long list of picks for this Christmas, and if I don't get a post in tomorrow, Merry Christmas to you all. I hope it's a fashionable one!

lots of love,

Leather Lovin'

So here goes my first! Today I went out for some Yum Cha ((it was delicious, I didn't want to stop eating)) with my sister and her boyfriend, some shopping came home and then went to do my first ever shoot after my sister curled my hair with her favourite new beauty toy, in this scary but cute little walkway to our local tennis club and playground. I was so nervous but there are quite a few shots I actually really liked of me in one of my favourite outfits out of my closet! I know its the middle of summer to peep toe booties and leather skirts aren't the most generic summer outfits but Melbourne weather is super dodgy so it feels like autumn.

I wore a pleated faux leather skirt from Cotton On (similar is available at Forever 21), a patterned oversized cut out tank top ((I don't even remember where I bought it from but anything similar can make the look work)), black peep toe booties from Rubi shoes, a Links of London bracelet and a black vintage Chanel shoulder bag along with my favourite cherry red lipstick.

It took me so long to find the skirt after seeing it on http://www.ashley-ringmybell.com and was 4 sizes too big when I found it and a total impulse buy so I did a bit of sewing and took it in (a lot, its too big again though because I've lost weight recently) which turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it added a lot more shape and puff to the skirt. So glad I bought it!

I'm also not usually a big fan of cut out tanks but i adore this one and wear it all the time with several different outfits. It's just so perfect and slouchy!

Anyway, Happy Friday blogosphere! :)

Hiiiiii

Hi blogosphere!
So as an aspiring fashion designer I've been looking at blogs for months and months now and after a few pushes, finally decided on creating my own so here I am.
I'm not quite sure how to start this off but let's just pray it goes well and at least someone out there is reading this
Well here it goes, welcome, bye for now and see you soon I guess?
Lots of love
