LINE II 2012

For spring, Dion Lee Line II brings us two tone silk shirts, body-con cut out mini dresses, drawstring boxer shorts, pastel hues and shiny blacks - all on a wonderful plate of wearable basics. As most of you know, Dion Lee is one of my absolute favourite designers, which has now has put pretty much this whole collection firmly on the wish list.

Chanel - Cruise 2012 | The Tale of a Fairy The Short Film by Karl Lagerfeld

So it's my birthday...!

And I have another little giveaway that I want to share with you. I must say, this is one I would just like to keep for myself, but what is they say again, about give and take? With a brand spanking new iPad sitting at my feet as a result of my birthday celebrations, I felt that this is something that I wanted to share.

So I'm giving away 3 x double movie passes Gold Class-style. To do to enter please comment below (with your name and email address) telling me :

What movie has been the biggest inspiration to you in terms of fashion and / or style?

As a lover for all things Chanel, 'Coco Avant Chanel' is definitely up there for me. I also couldn't stop eyeing the iconic French handy work on the dresses in Marie Antoinette.

You have until 5pm AEST on the 6th August. Good luck! x

Aley fell for the 'Sportivo Timepeace' in black - divine!



On Friday morning we gathered at the M!MCO city store to welcome the latest collection of accessory goodness - Kaleidoscope Cinematopia. None other that the face of the campaign Jessica Gomes (@iamjessicagomes) introduced us to the range, and talked us through the campaign's shoot, done in Palm Springs at the luxe Parker Hotel by an all-Australian cast, including photographer James Geer and cinematographer Mandy Walker, with styling by Mimco’s own Cathryn Wills.

Inspired by the thought of a meeting between Pablo Picasso and Coco Chanel in 1920’s Paris - Kaleidoscope Cinematopia brings us a range full of metal detailed heels and flats, block-coloured sling bags and clutches, beautiful block heeled pumps and statement necklaces. Most of the range is already at your fingertips right here.

PS - don't forget to check out the stunning campaign video.

and PS again - that silver-faced watch is mine. Hands off.

Summer, where art thou?

I'm sitting here on a freezing Thursday night putting together collages of all things sun, sand, skirts and sunnies, only to scrap them when I look up and realise the absolute down pour and the puny few degrees on the thermometer.

Not winning.

But, it's when I get sent little bits of hope like this video from Nookie - that I know that there are better times ahead. Expect a summer infused with Moroccan inspiration, cat-like silhouettes and gorgeous florals.
I want it all and I want it now.
