Get French with a gilet

Perfect for the winter weather, the gilet is just what you need.  Great as an extra layer, I have worn mine to death, both to work and out and about.  It's managed to feature on the racks two years in a row now (having bought mine back in 2008 from the UK. Go the faux fur!

Mesh for May

Following on from my post on 05/05/10, another practical look for winter is the staple - black leggings.  Not to be confused with the horrid 'jeggings' that I have spotted out there.  Leggings are great and work well with almost everything from blazers (my favourite at the mo!), floaty tunics, shirts, singlets...whatever really.  As for footwear, again several options to choose from although personally I like to wear a heel or boot otherwise I feel slightly stumpy and/or look like I'm about to go for a jog.  Came across these snazzy numbers by complexgeometries, which will set you back a little at $US128, the mesh is pretty awesome huh?

Don't take it, I'm not ready!!

Saturday night and we hit the town to see the Auckland finalists in the V48 Hours Filmmaking contest.  With the cooler weather upon us my recent summer shorts from Karen Walker needed the addition of some black opaques.  Sorry, blurry pictures may be the result of a couple of wines!

Moonlighting in Melbourne

A slight delay in posts having just returned from a 10-day stint in the fabulous city of Melbourne!  The place just seems to keep growing in size.  So many old haunts to visit and many new funky areas to check out.  I wanted to quickly throw this posting out there (before I blog about the nitty gritty detail of what was being sported on the streets!),  Brunswick St - need I say much more!  A wonderful collection of stylish and unique boutiques and many awesome vintage stores which we like.  A must must see is the corner pub called Bimbo Deluxe, it got us at $4 pizzas!
