Fashion for everyone

Whit, the NYC based womenswear brand, caught my eye a couple of months ago.

Of course, I somehow lost track of the brand (somewhere in my millions of bookmarks!)
...and was quickly reminded of my love when I saw a post about them on Rebecca's blog last week!
Wearable, but still flirty and whimsical, I would love to own the entire fall collection! And don't even get me started about the headgear in the lookbook...

I have plans to D.I.Y. an arrow headband.

Wow, wow, wow!

Orla Kiely may very well be my new obssession. I've been consistently inspired by all of thier peices I have come across on the internet, and yet I haven't posted about them until today. The brand encapsulates that early 60's, late 50's, prim and proper whimsy that I hold so dear. Girly and sweet, but never crossing the line into twee, how could you not fall in love? The Spring/Summer 2011 really really does it for me! It probably helps that Leith Clark (she of Lula editorial fame) does the styling for the brand. I adore her personal style, and I really love the styling in the presentation of the collection! I had to restrain myself from posting the entire thing! Lucious red lips, delightful wedges, messy updos paired with some of the most amazing dresses and skirts I've seen...this one plays out like dream. Especially because there are so many peter pan collars!

Samantha Pleet continues one of my favourite designers, season after season. With a knack for comfortable and aesthetically pleasing frocks, her pieces are constantly on my fantasy must have list. Spring/Summer 2011 is no different. Featuring a lovely shade of crimson and deliciously sheer insets, swingy skirts, playful shorts, and adorable booties; it`s a delectably composed collection! I can picture every peice in my closet (especially those short sets)!

I think when I first saw this amazing cake my eyes probably looked like saucers! This decadent chocolate fudge cake was made, photographed and styled by Katie at "What Katie Ate". She is so talented. I was thinking ... you need a comfy chair & throw, extra wine, candles and a cozy knit sweater to snuggle into as you work your way through this cake...or is that just me :)

It wouldn't be hard to take...dining at Cut, 45 Park Lane and then relaxing in one of their suites. Bit of a mid-week pick-me-up don't you think (you can see more of it here). The Valentino 'Rock Stud' bag is kinda cool too, available here....for a price!

These remind me of the warm golden glow of the last rays of sunshine .... maybe it's just me hoping tomorrow will be full of sunshine!

The stylish venue in #2 is Cafe Luc, taken by Shini of Park & Cube, the yellow crocodile bag #6 is from The Glamourai ... love it, could fit so much in there ;o 

Sometimes you just feel the need for glamour ... great dress, champagne, divine shoes and a beautiful place to enjoy the moment in.

First up, the wonderful Oscar de la Renta creation (from his latest collection, see the rest of the show here), Cartier perfume and lace metal clutch here and some gorgeous Jimmy Choo's here. 

Have to start the week off in style :)

A peak at an interesting bathroom with an unusual mirror...some gorgeous little amber jars (available at a sweet online store called Father Rabbits .. along with some other must have pieces).

I know for the majority of my readers, fall is starting to creep it's way in ... so, cause I love you :) this post is for you. We, on the other hand are seeing the first signs of spring here in Australia, so the blossoms are out and everyone has a bounce in their step.
