Fashion Gone Rogue

Such a stunning shoot - the harsh, yet beautiful background, the horses, the voluminous hair, cool cowboy hats and the dramatic clothes. My favourite pieces have to be the bodysuit in the first pic and the Swarovski encrusted Balmain dress in the second last pic. 

Lusting Right Now

Having a bit of a play on Polyvore :)

Relaxed Glamour by Mademoisellestefani featuring Jeffrey Campbell shoes

I love drifting into wardrobe wonderland on Polyvore, putting together the perfect outfit, without having to worry about finding my size or sticking to a budget. Some of those collages on Polyvore are amazing, but right now I'm going for minimalistic. This set is based on my favourite look of the moment being a skirt and top or dress, teamed with a blazer and wedges. I have been wearing my Tony Bianco wedges to death. They are such a great alternative to painful, sky-scraper heels. I wanted to buy Jeffrey Campbell ones but I couldn't find a local retailer at the time and didn't want to run the risk of purchasing the wrong size. In saying that, I adore these furry ones above. Such a statement shoe! I want to eventually get one of these black Michael Kors fashion watches. I have a very classic IWC watch that my dad bought for me as a gift, but it would be nice to mix it up sometimes. I was trying to find the new ceramic Bulgari rings, but I could only find the original version. Although, I'm not a ring person (I tend to get annoyed by them and lose them when I take them off), I think the Bulgari ones are stunning. As for the Balenciaga's new perfume, I hope to be acquiring that very soon :)

There's something about military fashion that keeps it cool season after season. Adding a military coat, blazer, vest or hat instantly adds some edge to any outfit. Perhaps military helmets bursting with feathers are going a little too far, but in fashion fantasy land anything goes :)

Fashion Muse - Emmanuelle Alt

JAK & JIL BLOG and Trendy Crew

Emmanuelle Alt is the Fashion Director of Vogue Paris and a walking fashion icon. I love how she mixes jeans, leather pants, tshirts, blazers and over-the-knee boots to create an uber sexy yet casual look. What I would do for a closet full of Balmain like hers!

Balmain Fall 2010

Balmain's latest collection may not be revolutionary - it's still about skinny pants/jeans, blazers,  shoulder pads, ankle boots and bling. There was an injection of feather coats and leopard prints, however I didn't like the overall look of the outfits as much as the looks I've posted, despite my love of both feathers and leopard. I was thrilled to see the sheer black shirts, metallic skinny legs and navy blazer as I already own pieces like these. I'm really trying to make the most of my current wardrobe, restricting myself to only adding a few keys pieces per season. I thought the set was fantastic too - traditionally Balmain and dramatic - just like the collection! 

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld

My fashionista muse of the moment is the Julia Restoin-Roitfeld.  A fashion royal, the daughter of Carine Roitfeld Editor-in-Chief of Vogue Paris, she has a killer wardrobe consisting of Balmain dresses and towering YSL shoes.  She isn't your perfect size 6, super-glam socialite but rather there is something very natural and classic about her look which gives her that girl-next-door appeal. I adore her natural-looking brown hair, fair skin and curvaceous figure.
