..:: little white dress ::..

Summer is here; days are growing long while nights grow tantalisingly shorter. I'm thinking lazy cocktails on balconies and late night beach rendezvous need some appropriate attire. Presenting...*drumroll*...the LWD aka Little White Dress. Yes! White isperhaps a little trickier to pull off than the black that is our usual go to. Yet when done right, it's classy, confident and will effortlessly take you from the beach to the bar!! Here are my recent white dress purchases: L to R: MINKPINK (eBay) criss-cross dress, thrifted floral netted dress, Wish (eBay) crochet dress. Can't wait to get some good wear into these babies in the warmer days ahead!! I wore the one in the middle to the Suzuki Night Market with Em and Miriam last Wednesday, might put up some pics for the next post :) --- Oh and has everyone (in Australia I guess) voted for their fave songs in the Triple J hottest 100?? If not, get on it HERE . I myself have voted, here is my various selections: Lonely Boy - The ...

DIY-inspired jewellery!

Image
I have been seeing all this awesome strings and ropes and beads stuff in the fashion world - I think DIY and friendship jewellery is really making a comeback!! Definitely planning on making some colourful bracelets and necklaces like these ones! They'd make great xmas presents that's for sure. Em bought a cute handmade bracelet from the Suzuki night markets we went to tonight. On another note can't believe it's the end of the year...2011 what happened? xStace Image source: refinery29

I (L) SALVOS STORES.

Image
Thrifted from Salvos store coral top, beige skirt and brown mary janes Forever New/Equip/Diva bracelets and armour ring Beginning Boutique red/gold ring Ooops. It's been another 3 weeks and I haven't been blogging. Damn I'm over making excuses for it, let's just say I'm lazy. Heh. Well first thing; thank you to Beginning Boutique for this lovely YSL-esque ring. It's got a massive red rock in it. BB boutique knows what makes a girl happy. Hehe. Went thrifting with my lovely uni friends Jaz, Em, Alex and Molly . Unfortunately didn't think to take any snaps of us, but my outfit was just a black tshirt and denim shorts, as you know thrifting involves trying on 5731 items of old-people-smelling garments, so...y'know. We had a little competition going - who could buy the most with $30. Pretty much every one of us went over the budget, but I reckon Molly won, with 8 items at ~$40. Nothing like a bit of stingy competition between uni students!! Anyway I'...

beginning boutique: it's beachin'!

Beginning Boutique has just launched their second Spring lookbook entitled It's Beachin' , and boy does it make me wanna hit the sand and the surf. Soooo good. Seriously the bright block colours, bare legs, sparkles, baggy tees/tanks and naturally voluminous hair makes me yearn for those carefree Summer days we haven't had so far!! Let's hope the weather heats up for us in Melbourne, and soon. I wanna get beachin'! ALSO: Beginning Boutique is giving away a $500 , yes $500 It Girl wardrobe!! Don't forget to "like" B.Boutique on Facebook to enter this amazing competition!! Too good. Lovelovelove, xStace PS. NEW SEAFOLLY BIKINI THANKS TO SUNBURN SWIMWEAR!

Market HQ: "Oh You Pretty Things"

“Taking a night on the town from daylight to dusk and beyond… A sultry hot mess covered from head to toe in washed out brights, textured detail and exaggerated prints. Strapless, sleeveless, side-splits and sequins. Layers of luxe lace and sensational sheer lengths complete a night of never-ending hotness.” Model: Milli @ Agency Models Photography and Creative Direction: Kaycie Smith Hair and Makeup: Desiree Wise @ Network Agency Styling: Georgie Hilton I adore this new lookbook from Market HQ . I'd have to say it's my favourite so far! Featuring brands such as MINKPINK, Somedays Lovin', We Are Handsome, Stylestalker, UNIF and Finders Keepers, seriously these outfits are what I want to be rocking this Aussie summer. And it better be a good one, I miss you sun. I bought Tony Bianco clogs, a pair of orange cropped pants from Valleygirl, the Evil Twin red studded dress I was lusting over in the post I did last week, MINKPINK cut out shirt dress and a Somday's Lovin la...

Sketchy business.

Image
So. My exams finished yesterday. I'd like to say that I ran out of the Royal Exhibition Building screaming and waving my arms wildly about, then partied all night and drank til I forgot all of the stuff I'd crammed in... But what happened in reality is I sat at home, and sketched. Oh I'm such a hardcore teenager. Hahaha. Anyway, hope you enjoy these! I've got some pretty pictures for you in my next post, and I'm in the middle of actually organising free shit for my followers. Wew. ALSO; I entered this mad competition to win a trip to LA, I had to style an outfit and here it is...tada... Please click here and 'like' my link via Facebook, would mean a lot to me :) xStace PS. Follow me on TWITTER cos I'm totez getting on that hash-tag shit and @tagging thing... #abouttimeyouloser

I WISH I HAD AN EVIL TWIN.

Yay! Another post, I told you guys I was back for good! I had two exams today - Biology: Genetics and Evolution and Music Performance 2D, which was a piano recital. Really dreading Physics: Life Sciences on Thursday :( Anyway, now that I'm back to blogging I've also been mentally making a list of items that I need to go shopping for. Top of the list is pretty much EVERYTHING from Evil Twin's Summer 2011/12 Collection "By Way Of Fallen Idols". Jodie you're a genius, please marry me!!! My wardrobe this season has been quite lacking of the kind of primal colours in this collection - earthy rust, fire-engine red, black (I know, shocking!), citrus yellow and various shades of snakey green/grey. Plus I am drooling over those lattice-y cut outs, drapey silhouettes and graphic prints. Well you know what? I think it's time I got my grunge on again this Summer. Spend a lot of time in General Pants the other day, and I know ASOS also stocks some Evil Twin, so real...
