MOTH & MOON

Image
Lisa Gorman has just recently launched her Autumn 2015 campaign, which was shot in Hayama, Japan. Considering I just got back from Japan, it only makes me miss the country even more! This collection has an other-worldly feel about it, suggesting the change in season to the cooler weather, longer nights and shorter days. It’s about the happenings out there in the quiet, stillness of nature and the beauty of balance between earth, animal and sky. The new collection features Gorman's typical gorgeous details such as the green fern print, a cute yet brilliant moth embroidery motif, metallic flashes and an abstract jigsaw pattern of chopped up shapes filtered across kimonos, flowy skirts, shift dresses and soft cotton tees. Some of the clothes have started dropping into Gorman stores already, so if Autumn excites you (it's my fave season), definitely check it out! x x Stace PS. Check out Frankie's post on this collection for the beautiful campaign video. I watc...

TWENTY FIFTEEN

Sportsgirl jacket, crop top & sunnies Cotton On skirt Nike dunks I managed to make my first post of 2015 before the end of January. (just!) I spent the first few weeks of this year in Japan, one of the most incredible countries I've seen. It was freezing though, I don't think there was a single dayover 10 degrees! I'm glad to be back to slightly warmer weather where I can bare my legs :) If you haven't seen any photos, check out my Instagram for a few snaps! While it's great to be back, sorting out my whole backlog of work emails, letters, responsibilities etc etc has been a major pain in the butt. Since this is my first post, I thought I'd share my goals for the year. I know whenever a blogger or anyone for that matter talks about "New Year's Resolutions" it's a big fat lump of cheesiness and cliche, but honestly I don't think I could start any year without setting myself a few goals. People tend to make unrealistic reso...

SALT / PEPPER

You're probably all sick of the constant Melbournian rant of "ugh, thanks for the four-seasons-in-a-day weather" but here it is again. Just when I think I can put my coats into storage and bring out my 'kinis, we get more stormy/rainy (cue: strange) days where I don't know whether to wear a skirt and brave the morning cold, or wear jeans and scorch in the afternoon sun, and either way I have to make sure I have an umbrella on me or else risk getting drenched. The one positive thing about Spring being a mixture of everything is I get to actually wear all of my wardrobe, both hot & cold appropriate clothing. I honestly didn't think I'd have a chance to wear my new Cameo the Label knit jumper before my Japan trip in January, but turns out woohoo I can :D Cameo the Label The Way knit (purchase here , here and here ) Staple the Label sting-ray shorts (purchase here and here ) Sportsgirl sunglasses (shop the range here ) This knit i...

STRIPES

Stripes. I have an inexplainable attraction to stripes. I seriously have about 5 blue & white striped tops in my wardrobe and everytime I see one in a shop I have to pick it up/try it on! I think it's because I'm slightly obssessed with anything nautical. A sailor dress and anything with anchors is also on my wishlist. Anyway, I've been searching for the perfect striped skirt for a while now, and I finally found one when I was on my way home from work last week. Staple the Label cross-over shirt / Country Road neoprene stripe skirt / Evil Twin bralette / Rayban aviators from Vision Direct My other wish-list item that has finally been fulfilled is a white shirt. Just plain, no embellishments, no cut outs, no weird collars, no see-through bits and definitely not one of those old people shirts - something classic but modern. It's surprising how difficult it was to find one. This Staple the Label baby is a beautiful soft material that drapes over my ...

AW X HM

Over the last few days, one of the things popping up the most on social media has been the EAGERLY anticipated Alexander Wang x H&M designer collab. The lookbook shots have been released, and it's pretty much as amazing as I expected it to be. It is seriously the sportluxe fantasy we were hoping for, and convincingly embodies Wang’s native aesthetic of minimalism, and of course uniform black/white monochrome. With strappy scuba dresses, thick WANG emblazoned sweatshirts, mesh-paneled leggings, cropped bra-tops, leather joggers, and puffer jackets - there are even boxing gloves and a yoga mat! Above are some of my fave lookbook snaps from the Alexander Wang for H&M collection. I am DEFS gonna try and get a hold of a couple of the crop tops and that grey sweater. Maybe even a little something for Justin even though he really couldn't care less about fashion haha. It seems to be pretty affordable based on my online research :P Most of the things I want are ...

ALLEY HANGS

Ray-ban reflective aviators via Vision Direct Cotton On Body puffa vest Maurie & Eve exhale jeans Nike free runs Staple the Label stripy bag A busy day of gym, running errands and teaching piano means comfy clothes and practicality. I don't ever compromise on comfort when I'm running around like a crazy woman. Nothing better than a slubby t-shirt, puffa vest and my trusty Nike sneaks to get me through the day. Oh and of course a sneaky couple of cups of tea too ;) One trend I never thought I would EVER indulge in is drop crotch pants. These jeans from Maurie & Eve have a slight drop crotch and a low rise. Not my usual style. But these are my new favourite. I thought they'd make my legs look super short but seriously it's so worth it! Hope everyone is starting the week in comfort & style. I'm just happy Melbourne is back to sunshine. Summer where you at yo? x x Stace Say hello & stay in touch: FOLLOW TEE&FAME FACEBOOK...
