Tough femininity. Dishevelled elegance.

Aje Autumn/Winter 2010 Lookbook

Aje is currently my favourite Australian label. The label seems to have gotten a lot of blog attention of late, possibly because the lookbook features model of the moment, Bambi. If Sass & Bide and Balmain were to have a love child, it would resemble Aje's current collection. I can't stop drooling over the dress in pictures 1 & 2. I hope to get it to wear to an upcoming party. The white and silver sequinned top with the arm bands is also another favourite of mine. The collection has inspired me to embrace the luxe grunge trend, mix and match the 80s vintage pieces in my wardrobe and perhaps do some DIY sequin work to glam up some basic tops and dresses. I'm hoping to visit the Aje Boutique in Kings Cross in one of my uni breaks this week :) 

Rosie goes 80s Glam

I love these shots of Rosie as they are so 80s - but in a good way! Lace bodices, body-con dresses, gloves - makes me want to hit the dance floor! I bought an 80s Lisa Ho bodysuit a couple of weeks ago that I can't wait to wear. I think I particularly find the 80s trends fascinating because those are the looks which were my first glances at fashion as a child. The first two images definitely have something very Madonna-esque about them, with the second outfit a 2010 spin on the pink dress worn in Madonna's 1985 "Material Girl" video.
