The Great Gatsby 01

I have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting (like millions of others) for this movie to hurry up and come out!  Finally the countdown can begin as it will open in cinemas in exactly 10 days.

I am so excited to see this movie, and especially so because of the collaborations that Production and Costume designer Catherine Martin has set up in order to create, what looks like is going to be, an incredible world of 1920′s fashion.

We’re talking collaborations with Tiffany & Co, Brooks Brothers, and Prada. What an incredible wealth  of resources!!!

Check out these videos on the exciting collaborations. Now…who wants to get all dressed up and come see it with me on the 30th?

Pony Calf Hair Bag BootsLast year I saw a beautiful bag in a shop window made with the softest pony hair and felt immediately in love. I bought it straight away, but didn’t purchase it for myself as it was the perfect present for a loved one. Ever since that day I have been on the hunt for the perfect hairy bag or boot, and although this gorgeous bag by Maiyet is WAAAY beyond any budget I will ever hope to have for such an accessory, these super cute (and sturdy) booties by Gorman fit the price and lust quota perfectly.

Next Sunday is Mother’s Day, and although showing our mums how much we love them should not be reserved for this day, it is a great opportunity to make all our mum’s feel extra special.  Whether it’s the simple act of baking up some scones, a functional and beautiful new bag or a luxurious spa treat, take a peek at some of my top picks to spoil your mum.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Lauren Marinis store opening, with my lovely friend Bec from Frocks & Crumpets.  You may remember the  Australian shoe label from my previous post and interview with the Melbourne designer (HERE).  The event was held at the beautiful new store in Rupert st, Collingwood last Saturday afternoon, and it was so great to be invited to share in the celebration of Lauren’s new store.

Staying true to her impeccable style Lauren has created a beautifully light and inspiring space, with sky-high pumps and gorgeous ankle boots displayed on their own individual pedestals, to showcase the works of arts that they really are.  It was such a fantastic night, with a combination of some of my favourite things, fashion, cheese, champagne and SHOES!!! I may have even left with a new pair of pumps and boots!

You can purchase Lauren Marinis Shoes at the online store HERE, but I definitely suggest you pop in to have a look at the beautiful presentation of incredible  shoes Lauren has to offer.  Store is open Wednesdays and Saturdays 11am-4pm at, 74 Rupert Street, Collingwood, VIC, 3066.

Last week, in-between a whirlwind of work, errands and outings, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week came and went.  I have finally gotten through watching the shows and am so excited for fashion this upcoming spring/summer, even though we’re only hitting colder weather now. Here are some of my favourite looks from MBFWA. It seems I have a thing for volume at the moment. It’s all about full skirts,  long vests, and roomy tops.
