Amore No.18 - Lou and Lee

One of the great things about being a designer is knowing that given enough time i pretty much can create my own hair accessories and rarely need to shop for any, unless it's absolutely gobsmacking fantastic that i simply can't resist! Lou and Lee is such a brand.

Their oh-so-darling baby headbands are too cute for words and i know if i ever have a daughter or a little niece i will be buying up a storm of these gorgeous designs. Have you ever seen anything so lovely? I also recommend you jump on their blog, it's a great read with a lot of wonderful stories of her lil mister =)

Pinch and Spoon

I'm such a fan of textiles, well obviously since i use it in my designs, however i believe my pieces are still considered conventional by public standards and i find that i'm eager to break free from the mold of what is considered as 'accessories'.

Labels such as 'PINCH AND SPOON' is an example of taking something pure and natural and turning it into modern wearable art pieces. There's an almost holistic approach to the designs which i just love and with creations like these how could you not? Another tick for WA designers =)

Dying of envy!

If ever there was a reason to be jealous of what fame and money can buy - this is it!! (As if we need more reasons) Feast your green eyes on the closets of the rich and famous, styled of course to make sure you walk away slightly overwhelmed and drunk on the flamboyancy which is their daily life.

Oh Nikki, famous by association, i love your wooden floors and your pink coat hangers are a sure giveaway that you're really a girly girl by heart.

Fergie love the ottoman and chandelier peaking above!

Rachel's closet is vintage heaven!

Love how Christina got all dolled up but left her lil one pantless haha
The pink is also a nice touch!

Argh Mariah! Each pair of shoes you own could probably put a child through school for a year and yet still i wanna rampage through your collection. Evil obviously has settled in by this point of the post.

Now i'm off to cry on my hubby's shoulder!

Oh Miss Wang

Talk about inspiring! Vera Wang never fails to impress with these gorgeous bib necklaces i just found moments ago. The beading involved is insane!! I only wish i had the patience.

Amore No.17 - Prima Ballerina

All feels right and my world is at peace when i see gorgeous pics like these. There's something about ballerinas that make my heart sigh with adoration and inspires me to create a tutu of my own. Where in the world i'll ever be able to wear it is beyond me however with gorgeous designs like the ones from Ouma Clothing it makes you believe you can dress and feel like a princess everyday. Go visit Monique's etsy store for more beautiful designs.

Hooray for Hollywood!

To continue my rant about the Oscars i've come up with my top picks of the night. Was disappointed not to see Anne Hathaway there =( Okies it's safe to assume i'm totally in love with the girl, however there were other young starlets looking fab on the red carpet.

So in no particular order ~

Oh Sandra, don't you just look gorgeous in this Marchesa gown. The pop of colour on the lips were a great touch and you know bout my weakness with eccentric beading! This just works for me =) I'm glad she won!

This dress grew on me the more i looked at it. With so many solid colours at the Oscars it was almost a relief to see someone where a patterned print. Rachel looks so darling in a strapless Elie Saab Spring 2010 gown with a sweetheart neckline. I like that she chose minimum accessories that didn't compete with the dress and makes her look that much more sophisticated!

I haven't seen much of Cameron Diaz lately and seeing her all dolled up for the Oscars was just a reminder of how beautiful she is. Dressed in a Oscar de la Renta Fall 2010 gown she completely glowed. I love that she wore her hair down rather than up which soften her look even more.

Maggie is always so cool and not afraid to try something different which is one of the reasons why i just love her. Here she wears Dries van Noten strapless dress and looking stunning if i do say so myself. I couldn't resist using a pic with her gorgeous bro Jake! Argh! i just love him! (sorry baby)

In my opinion Penelope Cruz looked at least 10 years younger on screen last night. There were some mixed reviews online about her dress chose but i simply love it! She looked absolutely breathtaking in this burgundy strapless Donna Karan gown.

Such beautiful women *siiigggghhhhh*

Amore No.16 - Aurelio Costarella

Western Australian based designer Aurelio Costarella is in a word - sensational. With his use of different fabrics to his ever inspiring detailing i simply swoon whenever i see his designs. Being a budding *ahem* designer myself i am motivated by those who have taken the journey before me and have come out on the other end telling tales of hard work, tears and success.

Below are some pics of his 2010 Spring/Summer collection ~


What did i say? - sensational!

Oscars

Like most people i know i watch the Oscars for one thing - FASHION! Sure, sure there's some mild interest on the awards ceremony itself especially when it's the big awards like best movie, actor etc, however i mostly spend my time oogling at the celebrities all dolled up and looking their supposed best. Although i do voice out my opinions about the less than favoured fashion choices of some celebrities to my husband i will not here. There's no point focusing on negativity when i can go on an on about my favourite picks of the night.

With the 2010 Oscars less than 24 hrs away i'm giddy with excitement over what we'll see on the red carpet. Apparently from this morning news we are to expect a lot of vintage glamour/old Hollywood come in which is oh so fabulous!

And with that in mind i thought i go back a year and post my top 3 picks from last years Oscars.

Jennifer Aniston smashed it out of the park with this cream strapless Valentino number. She looked so youthful and in my opinion glowed!

Argh! Natalie Portman why are you soooo stunning? Her beauty is so timeless and i loved this colour on her. She chose to wear a strapless Rodarte dress and although it's not as out there as some others the fact that she can still pull off a rather 'simple' design wows me.

I was mid way in conversation with my hubby when i stopped and gawked at this dress. Anne Hathaway looked simply radiant & i couldn't keep my eyes off her. Dressed in a strapless (was that the stlye that year?) Armani Prive encrusted dress she definitely got my vote for best dressed on the night. I can't wait to see what she wears this year!

Holiday Attire

Since booking my holiday/buying trip i've been drawn to 'holiday attire' and i'm particular attracted to dresses that can be dressed up and down with a few minor adjustments. Don't you think this dress fits the bill? I especially heart the colour!

Some must have accessories while on holiday =)

Jeweled flats

Alexander Wang bag & Johara Necklace
