FASHION FOR KIEHL'S

American beauty brand Kiehl's has teamed up with three of Australia's hottest designers to raise money for charity.

Ksubi, Sass & Bide and Zimmermann, have each designed their own bottle label emblazoneed in prints and colours reflective of their latest collections, for the iconic Kiehl's Creme de Corps body lotion.

A percentage of the sales go towards supporting Australian children's charities including Barnados (Sass & Bide), The Starlight Children's Foundation (Zimmermann) and War Child Australia (Ksubi).

Just in time for the holiday season, these limited-edition body lotions are undeniably a perfect gift idea.

Get yours online or from any Kiehl’s store, department store or any of the Australian brands free-standing boutiques.

MELISSA x GARETH PUGH

British bad boy designer Gareth Pugh has teamed up with Brazilian footwear label Melissa to create a unique collection of plastic shoes.

The collaboration features two different styles of "armour for the feet"- The 'Aileron', an avant-garde gladiator sandal that comes in monochrome variations; and the 'Ultra', a ballet flat with a slight peep-toe adorned in Pugh's iconic geometric print.

I am obsessing over the white/silver and black/silver 'Aileron' sandals. A fabulous statement piece, yet, the monochrome palette makes them a versatile addition to any summer wardrobe.

BEATING THE HUMIDITY

IT'S OFFICIAL! Exams are over and freedom is finally here. I cannot even begin to explain how liberating it felt to walk out of the exam room this morning knowing that my (almost) 4 month summer break had finally arrived.

On another note, the weather in Sydney at the moment is sooo revoltingly humid (almost to the point where I've considered packing my bags and moving to the Arctic Circle).

To avoid looking as though I'm channeling the Grace Coddington frizz, I never leave home without my super-sized bottle of Moroccanoil- I actually owe my life to the genius who created this magical product.

WE ARE HANDSOME S/S 2011-12

Introducing We Are Handsome smoking hot summer 2012 collection titled 'The Vintage'...


The collection features swimwear, mini dresses and leggings emblazoned with vibrant and unique digital prints that evoke nostalgic memories of "European summer vacations, adventures in the forest, the excitement of far away lands and creatures of wonder".


The Sydney label created by designers Jeremy Somers and Indra Chagoury was launched in summer 2009 with the desire to create one-of-a-kind pieces splashed with eye-catching prints guaranteed to turn heads.

For some of us, the prospect of swimwear shopping can be seen as a daunting and unrewarding experience. In reality, it more often than not ends with leaving the store empty-handed with a resolution to do more exercise.

With enough cuts and styles to please just about everyone, the effortless and super flattering swimwear silhouettes carry the striking prints beautifully.

MIDWEEK INSPIRATION

I can't believe it's November already! The year has flown by way too fast...

Anyway I've been neglecting my blog a little bit lately due to exam week which has crept up on me so quickly- hence, I've been attempting to do study (which is so difficult when you're already in holiday mode and the weather is so beautiful- I just want to sit outside and soak up the sun all day).

I've picked a few inspiring looks for a quick burst of midweek inspiration. The highlights: blouses, bright hues, pleated skirts, prints and palazzo pants.
