Hello Lovely People !

The weekend is coming to an end but boy it’s been a busy one yet again.

Today’s post features a beautiful, strong, blue and white floral print top with a loose fit peplum, paired with my all-favourite black Ponte leggings and Betts wedges.

I had a lot of fun shooting this look with the new i-phone filters.

Hibiscus Florals

Sometimes when the weather is absolutely horrible and depressing I open up my closet, sit in it for awhile and then pick out the most brightest or boldest item I have.

Something so different to the weather outside just to lift up the mood a little.

The Star of today’s post is a very summery,very fresh, batwing/kimono-sleeve Shirt.

IMG_0792

I Picked up this beauty when my friend from Melbourne was down to visit.

We were casually having dinner at Darling Harbour when the sight of these beautiful Hibiscus printed tops and skirts captured our attention (and of course it was an impulse buy).

Now Every time I look at it I think of her and how we had such a great catch up in such a short amount of time ! ❤ you Bianca

Orange and white hibiscus flowers printed on a peach base. Perfect for Spring/Summer

For those of you who are enjoying Spring/Summer now (unlike us) a floral printed shirt like this is definitely a must-have !

Two reasons – 1 is that you can dress it up and make it very day to night as you can wear it buttoned up with a statement necklace – something gold and chunky.

2 is that you can unbutton it like in the picture, for an everyday casual look.

Just add a plain camisole underneath and a loose single pendant necklace.

If it gets a little chilli you can even add a brown scarf.

or even a lightweight metallic thread one.

click on the link to purchase.

Voila ! All set for the day ahead !

For accessories, as mentioned you can play with the orange, pinks, ivory browns and white palette’s – always fun to play with pastels. As well as mixing it up with little splashes of gold or antique gold.

Something new-vintage would look great with this like a small boxy bag, any shade of brown leather or like I have added a nice orange off-the-shoulder bag.

Click on the links to purchase.

something for night…

something for the day…

 

The brand of the Shirt is “Sweet Girl” unfortunately I couldn’t find you an online link guys ! Sorry !

Commercial Finds ! A Not-So Boring Cardi !

I am a Cardigan fan !

I am always wearing one, AND styling my garments with them too, because I guess you just never know when there will be the tiniest breeze. ha !

I think they are just one of those perfect daywear pieces every girl MUST-HAVE.

I wear mostly plain coloured Cardi’s, usually oversized, from Ladakh, cotton on or Zara basics. I find these three nail it the best !

Something plain for everyday wear is usually What I look for BUT when I ventured out to look for yet another Cardigan to add to my thousand Cardi’s I came across All sorts of Textures and designs…

Although, The Days Winner , was this very soft and warm Supre Cardigan.

IMG_0758

Very Fresh with a nice geometric/slightly Aztec design.

Contrast black Sleeves

Black and “winter white”

This caught my eye because it wasn’t your usual autumn/winter Cardigan.

The combination of colours and it’s presentation give you the ease of pairing it with spring/summer brights such as your limes and oranges as well as the very common primary palette of Red and Blue.

And I guess that is what makes this one of those fantastic Tran –seasonal pieces that you would in fact be able to wear all year round no matter what the on-trend palette is.

IMG_0762

With this particular Styling session I have only added one Pop Colour – Lime as it goes very well with the black and white knit print.

It is all very fresh ! So instead of showing you what it would look like with a winter palette I really wanted to show you a spring/summer Tran-seasonal alternative so you all can see how well it can be used later on a season later.

To add a core piece, something very basic We have our black denim. Any style, you choose whatever you are comfortable in. It can even be a pair of really great Ponte leggings you like to wear.

Now to Summer-fy this look I have also added black wedges that have a hessian-look wedge heel. This gives it a very Resort look and also even dresses up the garment.

Other little bits and pieces – A feather necklace and earring set to tie in the somewhat “geometric/Aztec” like vibe going on there or even just a set of plain silver chains bundled in a necklace.

Other colours that would be great to style with this are primary blue/royal blue or even white with a graphic print.

So if you’ve fallen in love with this cardigan you can head to your nearest Supre store Or simply click the link here and be directed to their online store.

Photo-shoot Prep | Rainy day outside but a rather sunny one at T.L.O.R Headquarters !

Woke up this morning and let’s be honest – who didn’t want to go back to bed with the weather being so S#!t ????? As you could of imagined what was supposed to be a bright summer awakening started to feel like a rather sluggish wintery morning! BUT that didn’t necessarily mean a fun days of work wasn’t about to begin.

Here at T.L.O.R head quarters I have been busy expanding the RATAVOSI men’s and women’s collection with additional women’s looks for our Amore Amore Photo-shoot.

I’ve been crazily sourcing props and accessories from all over the place as well as locations to give the right touch to all our looks.

In fact, Perfect Timing for Valentine’s Day !!!!

Mid last week, I ordered a cute red wide brimmed hat and some cat eye sunnies to go with the “midnight rendezvous dress” (oh and a pair of white ear muffs JUST FOR FUN hahaha)– what felt like a knock and run today, brightened mine and my best friends day.

2 brown parcels from ASOS… oh yes oh yess !! Happily tearing apart the boxes, there they were ! It always feels so exciting and rewarding when you get a parcel at the door, I love the feeling, it almost feels like it’s your birthday ha !

And well knowing the two of us ( the usual ) decided to do a silly little luvo session with the new pieces.

Just a regular day at the office. Check it out  haha

Wearing My very own RATAVOSI “Sinuous Senorita Jacket” being all snobby and that with my best friend in one of my wardrobe favourites, my biker vest with a fur collar and of course our accessories from ASOS, Red hat, cat eye sunnies and our fluffy white ear muffs.

I’m so classy that sometimes I do This and she just smiles. REDHOTEVIL VS PRETTYSNOWANGEL.

Oh and I also forgot to mention that while I’m classy I also B.O.L – BLAARRRRRR OUT LOUD and she pouts innocently ofcourse.

Couture on Ice | Runway #1

So I finally received footage from my lovely PA’s ( ha-ha wait ‘till they see this) and FINALLY got around to putting it up for everyone to enjoy !

I’m sure you can all tell which one is mine judging from my blog photographs.

Padded Sheaths and Arctic Pelts

“Soft and cushiony adipose tissue is recreated using knitted material. Filler and padding add sculptural interest. Large-scale cables and ribbing stuffed with soft wading increase voluminous silhouettes in arctic grey or  lavenders and the palest of nudes and yellows.”

Night of The White !

As I mentioned in the blog “Couture on Ice” there were some farewells ! Miss Meli B, one of my best friends is on a vacation to Sri Lanka and Bangkok so I’m terribly missing her and simultaneously wishing her a safe yet awesome trip !

So, in reference to the  post title “ Night of the While” one thing I Love is colour parties – yes sometimes I don’t Exactly Dress up according to the code they’ve set but It’s always nice to see everyone wearing one colour at the same event !

My good Friend Keegan’s 21st was set as an All white Party !  Mel and I, fashionably late … as usual, and also delayed by a few things had quite an awesome night… in White –

Check out our video from the night ! ha-ha
