Style Diary - Suited? Brights


Winter Blacks are no longer. Brights are the new black... or they're at least trying to.

As fashion trends filter down slowly down the chain, Spring 2011 colours notably led by Prada are making their way into stores. Welcome the brights. Not too neon, not too pastel, just high concentrated colour. 

My wardrobe has the occasional splash of colour. Generally when it comes to accessories and the random print. Whilst on my travels in Malaysia I came across these pair of pants in a shop window, as cliche as that sounds. The colour struck me back in February, and now its only fitting to wear them.

Take a look at Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake's spread for Elle USA, the August Issue. The spread was shot by Carter Smith.

The two are very intimate in the spread like in their movie 'Friends with Benefits'. Looks by Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren, Lanvin and Chanel were featured in the spread. 

I do like the spread, it does scream Elle USA with warm tones and natural light manipulation. Kunis looks tres amazing in the green and lace Tom Ford look (right)

It's that time of the year; September Issues!

Harper's Bazaar Australia
have released their cover featuring model Karlie Kloss. 

Kloss is wearing a fuchsia Gucci Fall 2011 dress, notably worn by Jennifer Lopez at the MET Gala 2011.

Love loving the dress, current and chic. The cover colours remind me of Vogue USA's recent cover with SJP. I like how the cover image isn't just of a coloured background. Plays it up.

I'll have to pick me up a copy!

 [T-B/L-R] MJS Agate Hearts, Clean and Tidy, Vegie Bar & Ikea-ing

Last week was about Agate, Hearts and Lovelies.

Finalizing the July line for MARTAN Jewellery, 'Agate Heart Necklaces' are now available at the MARTAN Jewellery Store. I'm so happy to finally have them out to share with you all. I had been planning this line for a few months now, but now its time to plan on more new lines for the future! Exciting stuff to come. With the this new line out, previous MARTAN Jewellery lines are on sale!

My Wifey Krystal came home from Europe, its great to be able to compare stories about Europe. Sights, Shopping, food. This also means that our regular lunches are on again. I went with Yvonne to Ikea as well, I love love love walking around Ikea. Some say pointless, I say fun. I even ate at the Ikea cafeteria for the first time not bad by the way. 

I booked Sydney! I cannot wait, I'm counting down the days till Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Sydney, Shopping, Relaxing...

Preparation and Planning is essential, though I don't think that we are ever really ready for things. 
I find that the term 'Fake it till you make it' rings true. Taking risks often expose us to the unknown, at times it's hard to want to leap for the fear of the unknown is great. But again, nothing can prepare us more than just doing it. 
Fake it till you make it Lovelies

Style Diary - Faux? Love.


I'm expanding my Winter Wardrobe

Coming back from Europe I expanded my Winter Wardrobe. Trenchcoats, Shearling, Vintage and Leather pieces have all made their way into my Wardrobe making winter bearable and stylish!

I wanted to get a faux fur... well anything for a while. I tend to get random cravings for things, fabrics, looks, colours and this time it was fur. The only thing with faux fur is well... it can tend to look fake. I know ironic but still... Looking here and there for a while I got across this jacket whilst on ASOS.com. Its a Faux Fur Gestuz Jacket.

Forward.

 [T-B/L-R] Agate Heart, Lunching, Dinner and breakfast with the lovelies. 

Last week I had a relaxing week. 

I spent the majority of the week out with lovelies, catching up over meals and the occasional shopping trip..okay so maybe but occasional but still. I think I've moved on from the clubbing social scene and I'm more into cafes and chic restaurants. You can converse and eat food, and I can wear nice clothes without the fear of a drink being spilled on me. I'm getting old...er.

MARTAN Jewellery Agate Hearts will be out soon!
In its final stages, I cannot wait for you all to see each Agate heart all selected by myself. 
For a sneak peak of the July line, join the MARTAN Facebook. Product shots will be out at the end of this week.   

In other news. I'm going to Sydney! I cannot wait, I'm off in August for Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival Sydney. Going with one of my close lovelies, I'm hoping for fun, fashion and heck some expenditure. Exciting stuff ahead!
