Sean O'Pry and Bambi Northwood Blyth team up for this splendid new Armani Jeans lookbook FW 2012/13. I serisouly cannot get enough of this girl - and the fact that she's now treaded behind Megan Fox as the face of Armani Jeans... I'm even more in love. Printed blouses, staple skinnies, plain white tees, structured jackets and overcoats galore.
Teaming up with One Teaspoon to front their AW12 Love Cats Campaign the model/designer/actress (read : the rest of us are just not good enough...!) Erin sizzles front-camera in golden denim, patchwork and studded leather. What's not to love?
Who remembers the days in kindergarten when you spend hours and hours on ends transforming toilet rolls to these magical little tubes called Kaleidoscopes, filled with beads, sequins and glitter that took you to another dimension every time you looked into them? I've been thrown back to my childhood with M!MCO's genius social platform 'The Social Kaleidoscope' - a portal where you can immerse yourself in building image based kaleidoscopes with M!MCO's range images, textures, campaign images aaaand your own Facebook photos.
Check it out and get involved here. Be warned that this activity is highly addictive, you can also browse through and vote for other peoples creations, which only really results in more inspiration and more creation - wonderful.
So we already knew VOLCOM were cool. Brace yourselves, they've just stepped it up a notch.
Summer and all it's wonder, the sunshine, the freedom, the never ending nights and mysterious mornings. VOLCOM have teamed up with the über hot DJ Duo POSSOto bottle all of this in creating this magical range just in time for Summer. Think romantic Gypsy meets cheeky Hippie - with a sense of carelessness and being free.
The duo of Vanessa Giovacchini and Marylouise Pels bring their love for music, fashion, art and poetry together to make this beautiful mess of must-have summer pieces.
“This collection is not about trends, it’s about a lifestyle… Each style is truly inspired by our imaginings of a new breed of traveling gypsies, just like us. “ -‐-‐ POSSO
The range hits stores this week, choose your favourites on VOLCOM's website or in store. Better yet, the POSSO girls blog (here) on Volcom's site. And let's face it, you can't look past a duo who's just DJ at a Miu Miu event in New York City.
Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of paying ARC PR a visit in Surry Hills to get a little sneak peek of what we're in for Autumn / Winter 2012 courtesy of some of my favourite brands, including BONDS, Wayne Cooper, Betts Shoes, Puma and Roxy. The team @ ARC are also always so super stylish so I couldn't help but sneak in a few of these lovely people... For more info on the brands and upcoming products see below...
1-10 : BONDS mix of raw and super soft fabrics in their unbeatable basics, their tees are still above and beyond and I will be living in these through Summer, all the way to Winter. Loving the new slim trackies with zipped pockets and raw finish. Undies & bra's are still in basic mesh or the classic cotton - again something you just can't look past. Totally sold on the blue.
11,12 : When I came to Australia 6 years ago, I must say Roxy was a tween thing, lots of pink, little hearts and peace signs. Now, it's all I want to wear to the beach this summer - printed bikini's, swingin' hats, vintage look belts, loose tees - just awesome beach bum material. For A/W12 - think turquoises and dusty pink, hippie-inspired prints, embossed leather, raglan jumpers and loose fit tees.
13-17 : Crushing on this season's Wayne Cooper dresses! Flowy lines and uneven hems - just my style. Light and tan leather dresses, pleated chiffon and splash prints. ARC PR's latest addition, Steph (nice name, isn't it?), was smokin' in a black little number à la Wayne C. And those Alexander Wang heels... diiiieee...
18-20 : We all miss the McQueen, but Puma makes it more bearable with colour-popping sneakers, cool contrast jackets, eye catching prints and detailed dresses. I always work out in Puma gear, they make it so much more enjoyable... (or so I tell myself)
21-23 : Betts Shoes. You already know I'm a fan, they're always spot on and I fell hard for that purple and red pair, as well as a pair of biker boots with studded heels (studs are never wrong) - and the short heeled tanned booties are just one of those staple things that you need when Autumn comes around.
On top of it all I fell in love with Shantelle's (ARC) tattoo... yes still thinking about it. Thank you to the lovely team at ARC for making me A/W 2012 ready xx
