it's all in the jeans

I am fussy. Really fussy when it comes to jeans. Hence, I own two pairs.

I asked some of you on Twitter and Facebook for some style advice as to the best designer jeans out there for me to purchase. I don't want jeans with rips, holes, tie dye, rather, just classic dark blue denim, which hug the body in all of the right places. I do prefer flare and bootcut, but I also like straight legged jeans. I've been told Seven For All Mankind jeans and J Brand (thanks Phoebes and Calvin x) were worth checking out, so here's some of my favourite styles .













It's looking like my preference is leaning more towards 7 For All Mankind at this stage. I'd love you to help me in my quest for finding the perfect pair of jeans. I'll be saving up for a pair and will probably start looking next month! All of your suggestions are most welcome. Please leave a comment with a link to any websites or blog posts related to purchasing designer jeans. Thanks guys! 

I hope you're all having an enjoyable week. I finalised my student reports and it feels great knowing they are completed. Next week is the last week before school holidays. I'm hanging out for a break! 

Yours in style,

  2. I'm pretty partial to 7 for All Mankind, as I own a pair that is so comfortable that I take naps in them! (I'm also wearing them right now as I type this - the Roxanne skinnies). I love the first pair of high-waist flares that you posted.

    I have heard really good things about J Brand too, but I don't have any personal experience with them!

gelati in the gardens

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!  For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette. Check out

Ballistic for Bally

I have always loved Bally , especially their shoes. They're made with the softest, luxurious leather I have ever worn. Bally were my first ever pair of high end designer shoes and they fit like a glove. So this post is going to be dedicated to one of the most prestigious design houses and their amazingly comfortable, chic shoes.  Here's some of my favourites from Bally's new S/S '12 collection: Which is your favourite? I love the classic black Otty-Crest pump and the teal and navy Palda wedge sandals. Have a great week! Mine will be an interesting one. I finish teaching for the term this coming Wednesday and go on a staff retreat to Creswick for the rest of the week. I'm looking forward to breathing in the crisp, clean country air!

My top ten must-haves!

Fashion fads come & go, but real style stands the test of time. As mentioned earlier, I'm one for classics versus trends. I love buying clothing that lasts and is therefore timeless.  I have put myself up for the challenge of finding classic pieces using Audrey Hepburn as an example. Here's my list of the top ten must-haves!! 1. Man's style classic buttoned down white shirt 2. LBD-Little Black Dress 3. A-Line dress/skirt 4. Trench Coat (Burberry is the original) 5. Black turtleneck sweater (Preferably cashmere) 6. Leopard print (one piece at a time/NEVER more than one!!) 7. Silk Scarf (Preferably Hermes) 8. Ballet Flats 9. Pearls (Earrings/necklace) 10. Investment handbag (look to Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Prada for classic styles)   What's your favourite out of my top ten must-haves?  Enjoy your weekend and, whatever you do, make sure you do it in st
