ollie my gollie

ft. Triangl, any 'Ollie' bikini

Essentially the bikini of the summer. Mix n match the colours for a fun pop. Need I say anymore?

strap me stupid

ft. Lily, Windsor Smith

A li(ly)ttle late but better late than never.

This is the shoe snob's answer to the jelly sandal that flip flopped its way back into every 90s kids' heart, presenting a solution to the burning desire for a comfortable shoe that cannot also be found in a four-year-old's wardrobe (excluding Ms A. Wang). Pick a platform height and you're ready to go.

Does anyone else remember these and the numerous copies they spawned?

If you don't, go to just about every blogger's archive, circa 2010.

We've seen the wondrous revival of spikes and studs (spike me baby, oh yeah) and funky headgear this year so I thought today's post would be a nice homage to the original. All hail.

robbing the hood

ft. Marion, Alexander Wang

A much lusted over bookmark in my browser history, in my opinion, this little baby was Alexander Wang's crowning jewel of 2012. The most perfect combination of crocodile leather goodness with just enough of a metal edge to it, all tied up in one petite package.

Bravo Mr Wang. I'm lusting over it nearly as much as I am over your niece's wardrobe. Dressing like a four-year-old at fashion week is absolutely acceptable... Right?

coasty and cosy

ft. the Paige, Topshop

Now that spring is finally hit us (with bushfires and torrential rain apparently?!), I'm feeling nostalgic for the ankle boots that basically governed my winter wardrobe. Goodbye the beloved thigh-high boots of yesteryear, I was feeling exposed ankles, intricate leather work and touches of metal detailing during the winter months.

Yet, even now, with the warmer weather, I'm finding that I'm reaching for cut-outs a la the Balenciaga Ceintures, rather than sandals and flip-flops thongs. While this may or may not be fostering my aversion to feet (true story), it's becoming readily obvious... tis the season for enclosed toes.
