outfit inspiration: hawaiian print

Hawaiian print shirts are no longer just the outfit of choice for middle aged men sunning themselves in warmer climates, as seen here at Sydney Fashion Week.   You can find a great selection on the high street or by visiting your local charity shop/thrift store.

Chanel Resort 2013

Backstage from Chanel Resort 2013

Channeling Mario Antoinette with a hint of Japanese anime.

Intricate embellishment; beautiful, floral motifs; dazzling jewels; a cropped, angular bob and of course the trademark Chanel logo painted on the model's sculpted cheekbones.

a wardrobe stable, the grey t-shirt is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing a girl can own and ridiculously easy to style.  Here are a few tips on how to wear it:

1.  With a statement necklace

2. With a pop of colour

3. With skinny jeans

4. A pleated skirt- maxi or midi

5.  A slick of bold lip colour

6. With vivid patterns- leopard print and florals are a personal favourite

6.  With denim cut-offs

I could go on and on but I won't bore you.  I think I've illustrated just how essential a grey t-shirt is to your wardrobe, that I've managed to convince myself that I need one in my wardrobe stat! Lucky for you, and more myself, I've scoured the web and picked my top t-shirt picks.

Where D&G lead, the rest of the fashion pack follow.  Fruit and veg were a key reference point in D&G's s/s 2012 collection and it seems this trend has emerged not only on the high street but in the collection of another high end designer, Mulberry.  I adore their  sweater featuring a tongue in cheek pear cartoon.  Here's another great way to get one of your 5 a day!

Stylelist have teamed up with Greta Larkins, the genius behind the brilliant Tumblr FashGif, to provide a weekly series of animated fashion shots.  I'm so glad I stumbled across this, they are so tongue in cheek and who wouldn't want animated patterns on their clothes!  My favourite has to be pinball effect created on the Balenciaga outflit, image 5.  Very subtle and very clever.

hermes atelier sacs

Take a peak into the secretive and magical world of Hermes.  Shini, of Park and Cube, was given exclusive and unprecedented access to the atelier and her journey has been beautifully documented in the images above.  Her experience showcases the sheer craftsmanship and skill involved in the production of one of their elusive and timeless bags.  If you want to learn more about the brand's unique relationship with leather, Hermes will be hosting a public exhibition on the 8th May (-27th May) at Burlington Gardens where some of the brand's artisans will be present making bags.  This is an exhibition I will most definitely attending, will you?
