On the mend

I’m finally feeling better and Shane and I decided to take a walk through Paddington and shop around in Bondi Junction.  A lot of walking to do in these shoes but my feet survived.  Along the way I was stopped so many times by people to ask about my shoes.

Spring is in the air but not quite here yet.  Can’t wait to break out the light dresses and sandals.  Reading all the American fashion blogs has got me jealous.

A Good Mix

Take some Armani, throw in a little Zambesi and then some Wang and what do you get . . . A great outfit.

On the weekend I wore my Armani leopard print coat with my Zambesi leggings and it was such a warm and comfy combo that I decided to wear it again but for work.  So with a few modifications, change of top, shoes and handbag I was ready to head out the door.

My love affair with Alexander Wang continues with my new baby.  I know I’m late to jump on the Rocco bandwagon, a number of fabulous bloggers, most notably Natalie from Fashion Intel, already have different versions of this amazing bag.  But it wasn’t until this baby, with the black studs instead of the gold ones, became available for half price on Shopbop.com that I felt the extreme urge to have one too.

Again I have to thank my fantastic boyfriend for this one, there were only two left and I almost vacillated for too long but he jumped in and ordered the last one.  Such a wonderful man.

Champagne Weekends

This weekend Shane whisked me away to the Hunter Valley for some wine, cheese and romance.   We stayed at the absolutely fantastic Chateau Elan.  This spa resort was soo lovely.  The staff were incredibly nice and everything from our amazing spa room to the beautiful grounds was amazing.  It was a lovely weekend.

Breakfast in Surry Hills

This weekend was crazy busy for Shane and I.  So sorry in advance for the short post and only one photo.   Am wearing my fantastic new Zambesi leggings again.  I love them, have worn them already 3 times in one week.  They are so warm and comfy.  I paired them with my The Cause Hi Boot by Jeffrey Campbell and all day people were staring at my legs trying to work out if I was wearing really high boots or pants and boots combo.  I got so many comments.  I also got a lot of the stink eye but I’m kind of used to that.

Zambesi Leggings

On Sunday while strolling through Paddington Shane and I decided to take a look in the Zambesi shop.  He knows how much I love this New Zealand label and I try to visit the store often to see what they have on offer. 

We walked in and front and centre were these amazing leggings on a mannequin.

 There is a back story, I’ve been dying for a pair of leather leggings all winter.  I have been searching and searching and the closest I could but wasn’t quite right were the AG skinny leather pants.  

Once I was done gasping, the lovely Manager, Linda told us that not only were the pants the last one, they were drastically reduced.  Shane made me try them on.  The shocker was that even at an Aussie size 6, they fit me.  Shane being the most amazing boyfriend in the world, bought them for me. 

This morning, though not as cold as last week, was still really cold.  I decided to wear my new leggings with a DVF tunic, and my Lila Verne shoe boots.

I think I’m in love with these leggings.  They are soooo cool.  I love that they are moleskin on the top half so the fit is amazing and I won’t get a saggy bum as you do when leather pants stretch out of shape.  Watch this space, more Zambesi to come.

RAFW 2010 Day Five – The Curtain Call

Last day of Fashion Week. It was with a little sadness and a whole lot of tiredness that I embarked on my last day at the OPT. Thank goodness it was light on the shows for us because I was about ready to drop from exhaustion.
We started our day with one the most gorgeous productions of the week, Miss Unkon show and collection was a fairy tale of absolute girlyness like nothing we have seen this week. There were beautiful flowers and butterflies hanging from the rafters, a darling little swing, and adorable hopscotch graph drawn on the floor. The clothing was a mix of girly casual outfits, using Miss Unkon’s collaboration with Levis and beautiful dresses that any girl would feel like a princess in.
Next up for us was my first ever Swimwear group show. I’ve been to several Fashion Weeks but always sit out this show. This week I was invited by designer Roopa Permaraju to her show. Roopa designs the most beautiful caftans you have ever seen. I wasn’t very impressed with all the swimwear. But Roopa made the show for me. I think I will have to own one of her designs, they were just that beautiful.
The last show of the day for us was the Annah Stretton show. Another Kiwi designer that I’m very impressed with. Her inspiration for this show was Brigitte Bardo and anything inspired by her is bound to be sexy and good. I wasn’t disappointed. Again a fabulous production where the designer didn’t forget her New Zealand roots. Each model came down the runway with little sheep in their hair. There were beautiful shorts with ruffles, gorgeous dresses and sexy crop tops.
So another RAFW has come and gone, with some hits and some misses. My favs this week: Zambesi Men’s, Gary Yang Collections, Sally Koeswanto, Alice McCall, Elliot Ward-Fear and Roopa Permaraju.
