KAREN WALKER

Karen Walker always manages to perfect that perfect vintage feel to her matchy-matchy kitsch feel pieces.











This collection was like a throwback to the suffragettes of old - Karen Walker asked after the show, "Did you know that New Zealand was the first country to give women the vote?" The prim tucked in waists and the buttoned up collars; the voluminous ballooning hemlines; the recycle-chic ladylike handbags crossed over their bodies. The shapelessness yet also the cinched in waists and the petite silhouettes created. It's like a hint of Victorian times without going too over the top, and without feeling too vintage.

The print of this season is of raised hands. Splashed over cutesy dresses, carved from a belt buckle, peeking out from under a top or emblazoning a snuggly turtleneck in glittering sequins, the hand motif was slapped onto the clothes. Literally — high fives all around!

I really love it, I think I will try to go op-shopping and find a look just like this.
Because there's not way I'll be able to afford any of it, ha.

Hey guys it's Friday. YAY. I have two 21st birthdays to make it to tomorrow and my boyfriend's incessant nagging that we must get dumplings on Saturday. It shall be fun!

Bye for now,

I love the collection! I like how it still manages to seem feminine, even with the over-sized pieces <3

I love designer jewellery . I also love contests and giveaways. Now that tee+fame blog has reached 400 friends on GFC I think it's time to combine the two and give a little something back to my loyal followers! THE DARK HORSE is an online jewellery boutique focusing on selling jewellery from around the globe. The boutique is influenced by the beauty surrounding us, aiming to make unique, niche and international designer pieces attainable. The awesome thing about this store is that it is offering a take home lay-by system , which means you can pay off an item while you wear it! I'm personally crazily obsessed with being able to lay-by stuff, I think it's an awesome invention! The jewellery we wear tells a story of who we are, where we have been or who we want to be. THE DARK HORSE will defs have the right piece of jewellery for you to express who you are :) There are some amazing pieces from some of my favourite jewellery brands, including Low Luv by Erin Was...

Today is my 18th birthday! I've been waiting for this day for SO long; the day I become and adult, and can drive, vote, drink...now I'm 18 and it's time to partay :D Met Emma for breakfast in Yarraville (if you remember, Yarraville is our favourite place to have a feed) at 9:30, so nice and early pretty much. Almost slept in, hence turning up virtually make-up-less (bit of eyeliner), and Emma practically did the same, woo classy :D Had the most amazing meals, at a place called Java Cafe. Egg, spinach, toast, hashbrown; pancakes with maple syrup and strawberries. Heaven heaven heaven!! Military jacket detailsss :) Ohhhh and these photos are taken on...dun dun dun...a new camera that I recieved from my parents!

Summer Fashion ft. 2threads and Billabong!

Soo 2threads , teamed up with he uber popular Aussie surf brand Billabong, have again come up with another awesome blog initiative, to share what Summer fashion means to me! Inspired by the great weather we've had in recent days in Melbourne, I've compiled a little post here for you guys. To me, Summer fashion is effortless, and only has two rules you must stick to: be both stylish and comfortable. The only "must-have" is a great swimming costume and the confidence to pull it off once you hit the sand! Here are some great picks for the Summer: Billabong Bliss Billabong Liv Billabong Amaze Billabong Poser Billabong Amore Then slip on something that doesn't require buttons, belts, shoelaces or other annoyances that might hinder the strip you must undergo at the beach - a simple sundress, a crop top and skirt, an oversized singlet, or the beach classic - a pair of ripped denim cut-offs and a cute tee. Outfit done and dusted, now to hit the waves! Beach essentials: 1...
