I'm a big fan of spy movies. The stunning locations, the fast cars, the gorgeous spies (and sometimes villains) fighting with their high tech gadgets and of course, the fashion!

1. the high neck sweater

the muse: Olivia Palermo 

'Parisienne' is the word that pops into my mind when I see a high neck sweater. Even though it is Summer right now in Melbourne, our oddly long Winter had me thinking about a winter style even in the middle of this sunny weather.

One day back in 2004, I came across this website called Style.com. It changed my life forever.

trend: the weekender

Curated pieces in light grey and complementing shades of navy strikes the balance for the nonchalant weekender vibe on the menswear runways this season

The chilly weather in Melbourne means its time to seek warmer inspirations for your 9 to 5, and where better to look than the runways of Fall 2015.

style inspiration | off with the shoulders

Perhaps it's the fact that Melbourne has now well and truly entered its colder months, with the windy, rainy days accompanied by chilly nights that make you want to curl up on the couch with lots of soup and Netflix. Yet somehow, ironically, off-the-shoulder tops have become my new style obsession.

sunday reading | #1

Image sourced from Mashable

Ever since I started working last year and, like the majority of the world, started living "for the weekend", Sundays have become a sacred day in my calendar. It seems to be the only day of the week when one can find time for thyself, find peace and reflect on the week that was, and the week ahead. Of course it is also a great day for catching up on reading.

breathe, breathe breathe...

that's what I keep telling myself as I finally jumped on Style.com for the Spring 2015 collections straight from New York, trying to keep my heart beat under control. After following runway shows on Style.com for 10 years (that's right!), I have finally given up trying to go through every single photo of every single show. I did try that for a while, it was exhausting and really not that productive in deciphering the new trends and up and coming designers, so now it's more a game of go where the hearts leads.

This season, the first place it led me to was Thom Browne, whose whimsical designs are at odds with the clean minimalist look typical of New York runways. But don't be fooled by the chaotic patterns, underneath the colours are structured trouser suits and stiff pleats fitting for a modern rendition of My Fair Lady.
