Style crush: Lupita

It doesn't take a genius to see this newcomer has amazing style, and spunky hair! During awards season she has wowed us with dazzling colours and intricate necklines, and now is heading a Mui Mui campaign. Just a bit jealous.

 The so-called 'United Colours' of Lupita :)

Microtrend: camo jeans

This won't be a trend for long enough for me to buy a pair, but loving these ladies in their camo jeans. Camouflage print has been popping up in various manifestations lately (shoes, jackets etc.) but I think the jeans are a trend in their own right.

Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival 2014

It always worth going to something, even if you have to buy your way in. Fashion is a fun thing to be part of. Fashion is art. Here is my inspiration for getting all dressed up:

Handbag (Kikki k) and contents belong to Justine Cullen (Editor of ELLE australia)

Olivia Palermo, wearing clothes ALMOST comfortable enough for normal people to wear...

Kate Foley (of Opening Ceremony) looking gorgeous and polished, just a little Rock'n'Roll

Leila Yevani (of stylebop.com), lots of Rock'n'Roll, little bit of polish. Also gorgeous.

Crop Top

I'm getting inspired by these formerly long-haired ladies who have gone with an exciting short crop.

Karlie Kloss:

Rip Rip

Its a 2013 trend that is still persisting into 2014. Perhaps in Melbourne this is due to the much needed ventilation in our overblown summer.

I'm not in a rush to go out and see 'Endless Love', but I do love Gabriella Wilde's style since she popped up on my radar.
