Bambi x Tony Bianco

And my love for shoes continues...
Tony Bianco's Summer 2012 campaign featuring Aussie model, Bambi Norwood-Blyth, is a knockout. I love the simplicty of this shoot; the understated backdrop and outfits allow the striking colours and shapes of Bianco's latest collection to capture your attention. And if someone with legs like Bambi can't sell shoes, I don't know who can.

Bambi is also the current guest blogger at Tony Bianco.com.au and shares her adventures in modelling, shopping, travel and personal photos. It's a fun and intersting read and you can check it out here.

Spring Transition

At work we're getting new stock in daily, and particularly some great basic pieces for Spring/Summer that would suit any outfit. In addition to this we're marking down a lot of Autumn/Winter stuff that can still be worn into the warmer months. I created a lookbook to show how you can mix and match basic pieces to keep up with the changing seasons.

As I work for Betts, it would be remiss of me not to recommend pairing the above pieces with the Poppie wedge (available in black/mushroom and currently on sale for $62.99) or the new Lynx wedge (a personal favourite, available in black/nude and $89.99). Both shoe styles look great on their own or paired with over the knee or frill socks.

Actual Pain

Seattle-based brand Actual Pain have just released their latest collection titled All Of Them Witches. The current designs tap into the new age trend seen in the likes of Evil Twin's latest collection but in a darker and much more understated way. The collection has a great retro vibe to it and I love the sinister twist given to a certain Disney character. I also love their completely unpretentious video lookbook. Check out some of the designs and head to the website for more.

Three amazing dresses. I'd like to know where people buy these beautiful items.

Inspiration

Her hair is stunning, I love a messy up-do. I also covet crystal jewelery.

Such a great outfit. The skirt is fun and I'm a fan of anything teamed with black. Note: I believe a sheer shirt should be buttoned all the way up when worn with only a bra underneath. It keeps it slightly demure, especially with a high-waisted item underneath. It's cheeky, but not cheap-looking.

I pretty much want her entire outfit. Especially the t-shirt - "Jesus saves, I spend."

Want.

Love a good leather short. Unfortuantely I have come to realise they do not suit me.

This shirt is so hipster, but I still want it.

There is nothing more alluring than a hot mess.

Where can I get one?

Taylor Momsen looking cute in a plaid bustier and varsity jacket.

This colour combo looks familiar...I wore it in my previous post.

Can't wait to dress like this for summer, especially the hippie-chic hair.

New pics and op-shop goodies.

Heyo, yes it's been a while but I am happy to report I have some new photos/outfits to show. The setting is far less exciting than I imagined (behold, my loungeroom), but I was struck by late night/early morning motivation. Here are the results:

T-shirt from Supre, skirt, shoes and belt from Salvos.

Tank from Salvos, skirt from Factorie.

Shirt from Jay Jays, necklace is a hand-me-down from Aunty.

Shirt from Jay Jays, pants (with matching belt worn as a necktie) from Primark, shoes from eBay, belt from Salvos.

Vest from eBay, skirt from Savers.

New watch from Live and wristband borrowed from my sister.
