(on a side note, I heard a rumour that Zara is coming to South Africa next year?!)
Topshop skirt and jacket (I love the contrast of the bright red polish on the crisp white skirt)
Vintage pants, American Apparel t-shirt
the cherry blossom girl
I've been following Alix's blog, The Cherry Blossom Girl, for a while now, and she never fails to inspire me. Alix is a French fashion designer/blogger/photographer who lives in Paris and is obsessed with all things fashion. Her style is never over the top, it's perfectly chic – she is Parisian after all. She loves Chloe, Chanel, Miu Miu but also Topshop, H&M and Zara. The Cherry Blossom Girl is one of the most beautiful and inspiring blogs I've ever come across. I would die for her wardrobe!

fabulous finds for a friday
It's Friday, so I'm breaking the "rules" for my blog. Yes, I usually post pictures of people in beautiful outfits, but today I'm in the mood for something different. I'm always looking for cool, new blogs and inspiring fashion sites, but every now and then I land up looking at stuff for kids (cos I have one of my own now!) So today I happened upon Smallable - a French fashion and design concept store exclusively for kids. Sometimes when I find a site that excites me this much, I almost don't know where to begin. But I eventually composed myself and discovered a whack of beautiful things. You want to know the best part? We actually bought the Casa Cabana white cardboard house for our bubs from Kiids Boutique in Chelsea Village a few months ago. So in the spirit of all things Friday, I made my own mood board. Don't laugh, it's my first attempt and I don't know how to deep etch so there are hard corners and I can't do anything about that. But I think it's still pretty? And seriously, how cute are these things for kids?
it's all in the details
When I snapped this girl, I was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't get to properly examine her outfit until now. I was drawn to her overall look but upon closer inspection I love the super cool necklace, cat eye sunnies, cropped tuxedo jacket, bright nail polish, studded pumps. Divine.
coming up roses
What a cool dress. Up close it has a pretty rose print, which makes it so girly, but the zip up the front gives it that harder edge that I like.
what's an outfit without gorgeous accessories?
I was paging through the ELLE UK March issue this morning. Sigh, so many things I want. But something that really caught my eye was the edgy jewellery by New Yorker Pamela Love. I especially like the bird skull rings, the crow skull pendants and the Heishi bead bracelet which is made from oxidised silver, copper, pewter and brass beads on a distressed leather cuff with oxidised snaps. Check out Pamela Love to see the entire range for yourself!
isn't she lovely?
I really am obsessed with Alexa Chung – I want to be her in my next life. She's just so ridiculously cool with seemingly not much effort. Every outfit she puts together is super chic and fabulous that Vogue UK have asked her to post an outfit a day for the month of February, from her cellphone, for fans worldwide to covet. Check it out here: www.vogue.co.uk
The latest in this British beauty's fashion conquests is a gorgeous little collection for American brand Madewell. It's fresh, girly, quirky and just pretty fabulous really.
The lovely Alexa
How cute is the graphic print in the turn-ups on those high-waisted skinnies?

somewhere over the rainbow...
So my ENTIRE Twitter feed overnight was just Marc Jacobs this, MJ that, wow, wow, wow etc. So I had to check it out for myself. His Fall 2010 show (that's autumn to us!) at New York Fashion Week was housed in a room completely covered in corrugated cardboard. The show began with Marc in a snappy suit and his partner Robert Duffy ripping brown paper off a huge wooden crate to reveal all the models standing inside, who then proceeded to file out the crate and down the runway one by one, to the soundtrack Somewhere Over The Rainbow. How divine? Most of the models were relatively unknown, including two stylists at Marc by Marc Jacobs and two girls who were pulled off the street! The collection, in shades of greys, creams and browns, is made up of ladylike ensembles, chic pencil skirts, sheer dresses, tailored trousers, structured gowns and lots of fur. I love, love, love the cream dress with the bow detail on the front... Sigh. Marc described his show as being not about fashion, but about style. And that's why we all love him.
pretty dress
Such a cute dress. I love the way the belt is tied, and how divine are the suede gladiators?
back on the blog wagon
Okay, so having a baby is more time-consuming than I thought. I've seen loads of outfits I love, but haven't had my camera with me. But now I'm back into the swing of things so keep coming back to see what I'm snapping!
hello bailey
I have a great excuse for not posting any cool outfits... I've just had a baby. It's crazy tiring but so cool. Bailey is gorgeous but still very tiny so not a lot of outfits fit her yet... but here's a pic of her in a little stripey vest (so cute!) and the baby version of high-waisted pants :-)
