I don't know what it is but in Summer I'm yearning for fur coats and boots, and in Winter I'm obsessing over kaftans and swimsuits. So right now in the middle of Summer I'm getting all excited about my wardrobe. I've loved fur since I was a small child and nothing has changed - I have quite a collection both real and faux. Last year my Mum bought me a fabulous grey feather coat which I'll be excited to wear as the cooler months approach. I love the glamour & detail that comes with Winter dressing - coats with cute buttons, long gloves, to die for boots etc. The fashion world seems to have gone into a fur & feather frenzy, showcasing the two in the one editorial, like these in Black Magazine & Numero China.

The perfect shoot for spring. Sure, florals for spring are not groundbreaking - I just thought of Miranda in the Devil Wears Prada when she complains about putting florals in the spring issue. Never the less, I think this shoot is lovely. I love the garden themed backdrop. The clothes are exquisite - such delicate ensembles, lace, feathers, embellishment and lots of colour. Love love love the lace stockings! Not to mention those floral headpieces. I am obsessed with putting fresh flowers in hair at the moment, although I'm sure sure if I could get away with such large numbers of orchids and roses. This shoot is definitely set to become a timeless Vogue Australia favourite.

This has to be my all time favourite Daria editorial. She is so stunning.  She looks so glamorous without being too glitzy or looking like she's trying to be. I think her signature style has a resemblance to that of Kate Moss. Perhaps the reason I love this shoot so much is the element of theatrical dressing to it - the masks, peacock feathers and sequins. My favourite evening looks always seem to always have some element of OTTness to them whether it be an enormous pair of crystal earrings, a headpeice or out-there bag, with the rest of the outfit being quite simple. Just can't get enough of it!

Embellishment

Ostrich feathers :)

Perfection - love the collaboration of bronze, nude, white & silver sequins on such a flattering silhouette on this Gucci number

Sass & Bide - they never dissapoint

This shoot depicts Australian glamour so well with its display of gorgeous party dresses at the beach. Tallulah Morton is simply stunning. A natural beauty, the girl-the-door if you like. She was on the same flight as me to the Gold Coast back in Summer 2009, looking super-human like in a grungy ensemble with combat boots. She towered over everyone around her and had this amazing glow about her. My favourite look in this shoot has to be the last, the contrast of the heavily gem embellished, feather J'Aton dress, with the tougher Wheels and Dollbaby Leather Biker Jacket. I've been on the hunt for the perfect leather jacket for a while so I think I'm going to pay a visit to the W&D Boutique, which only a suburb away from the uni I attend.

Eclectic Style

At the moment I'm into mixing different styles together - whether it be florals with fur, classic with grunge, or vintage with new. I love the word eclectic - it means to select or choose from various sources. I like to wear clothes that mean something to me. When you look in the mirror it feels great to remember a vintage shopping trip with a close friend, a holiday with family, or the person who bought a particular item for me. Mix these all together and your bound to feel happy and confident in your outfit. These shoots are filled with fabulous eclectic looks. I love the floral pieces, hats, feathers, lace and the Louis Vuitton suitcases (they will be forever stylish) for the Jalouse shoot. As for the shoot with Jessica Stam, that is absolute eclectic perfection. Such an adorable lingerie ensemble!
