Have I mentioned lately how much I love you?
This is sort of like the uptown version of my last post. Leather leggings, those graceful, d’orsay heels, a longline coat, grey cashmere. Delicate jewellery because I needed a quiet kind of con...
It’s finally cold enough to start layering in earnest. It’s all about texture – leather against soft knits, sharp suiting against sequins. Today I wandered into Sportsgirl and picke...
A call-out, once more with feeling, to vote for me in HP Australia’s Fashion Exposed competition. Because you believe my writing is worth something. Because you’ve got this page bookmarke...
Luxury begins where necessity ends, and reader, there is nothing necessary about this sublime, perfect Celine bag. Which is to say it is absolutely necessary and how did I ever live without it? Weari...
Not my aesthetic, but sharp enough to catch my eye – Zimmermann’s “Clique Clique” collection played up the contrast of the label’s signature femininity with this season&...
I don’t often ask for favours, but reader, I am asking now. I was recently selected as a finalist in a competition run by HP Australia to coincide with Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia. The...
What I wore on day one of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia (please forgive me for not blogging during the actual event – I was there with my day job rather than my blog, so I couldn&...
On the left, a design by Natalia Grzybowski snapped at the Sportsgirl Graduate Showcase during LMFF. On the right, a spilosoma glatignyi or Black and White Tiger Moth, photographed near my house. Col...
Can I make a confession? I have absolutely no idea why these photos turned out so…blue. All I can tell you is that I took them early in the morning – around 7 or so – so mayb...
This outfit strikes a balance between making a statement and being entirely comfortable – two things that rarely occur in the same ensemble. The leather leggings are soft and supple; the layers...
Sometimes the simple act of painting your nails a new colour can radically change your style outlook. This morning, I tried out Illamasqua’s Nomad nailpolish from the new Human Fundamentalism r...
Style versus style – Alicia of Sea of Ghosts sold me this black leather circle skirt last year because her extraordinarily long legs meant it was too short on her. My legs, on the other hand, d...
The last of my posts for Sportsgirl, and the one you should read the most. The Graduate Showcase really was spectacular and inspiring and everything that a fashion show should be. Thanks again to Spo...
It’s five weeks until Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, which is to say, the next 35 days will be a rapid descent into madness and exquisite clothes. Every year I say, I have nothing to wea...
This suede-to-patent affair from Zara is making my heart tremble a little. Matte to gloss black, like those amazing black-on-black French manicures worn by people much cleverer with their nails than ...
Friends, my second guest blog for Sportsgirl is now live, in which I ramble on about trends and refer to Dion Lee as a maker of dreams.
There are strange coincidences in life, and the story of these rings is one of them. I chanced upon a photo of two such rings on Instagram worn by writer Sarah Nicole Prickett. Two different shades, ...
Yes, it’s that floral shirt. Inspired by Celine, copied by Zara and spawning about a million imitations (both overseas and locally), dark, moody florals are tipped to be everywhere this autumn/...
This draped silk dress by Gary Bigeni ended up saving my (sartorial) life this LMFF. After packing in a panic and throwing what turned out to be a number of disparate – albeit all black ...
As I mentioned earlier, I’m attending LMFF on behalf of Sportsgirl, who selected me to be their Guest Blogger for the festival. My first post is live on their blog – click here to read it!
There was a lot to swoon over at the the Von Follies by Dita Von Teese for Target show. Delicate lace masks, jewelled riding crops, glittering sequin capes – the accoutrements of the bou...
This is what I wore last night – first to the launch of CAVE, the new exhibition by the Melbourne Metal Collective, and then to see Dita Von Teese walk the runway at L’Oreal Melbourne Fas...
Recently, I invested in (another) pair of leather leggings. They’re stretch leather, soft to the touch, the perfect length. Naturally, I haven’t stopped wearing them. Leather leggings by ...
Some snippets from my Instagram feed (you can connect with me via the username animalorchestra). Going from the top: my new Natalia Brilli leather-covered Nolex watch, the regular Sunday set-up with ...
Day skirt, $355 Petite top, $190 Drop shorts, $355 No words necessary, except: get in my wardrobe now.
I honestly couldn’t tell you if my love for this shoe is more about the wonderfully architectural shape (the cut-out heel! The hidden platform!) or the fact that it was designed by dream-girl L...
This is a sponsored post. image by Robert Montgomery I firmly believe in promoting open dialogue and rigorous education about drugs. I have witnessed the devastating effects of drug abuse on someone...
Crisp shirts, austere collars, leather, matte sequins and an almost monochrome palette – KARL by Karl Lagerfeld’s new collection (which is about to be launched exclusively through Net-A-P...
Some things are just meant to be: mere moments after discovering Amsterdam-based accessory label Vlieger & Vandam, this clutch found its way into my shopping bag and a few clicks later it was win...
