Beige is beautiful

As you know, I love love love black! But i cant really wear black all the time. Well actually I can... It would just be a bit too boring. I love breaking up all the black with a bit of beige. wheather its a belt, a bag, a blazer or heels. Especially Heels they are a god-send! They can make your legs appear a mile long!

not to mention... they go with everything!

Wonderboots!

I think Ive found the perfect shoe! They arrived last week in my order from www.asos.com.
They are - DKNY Active Gillian Ankle Boot
USD$267.22

They have been worn nearly everyday since they arrived on my doorstep. I've even been working them into my work wardrobe! Not only are they ridiculously comfortable (On the first day I wore them I walked down many many many flights of stairs due to a fire drill). But they are clever buggers too. they're waterproof! actually waterproof (I tested them in the bath). Basically they are just fabulous gumboots. Probably not the most season appropriate purchase but I'm intending to rock them with my denim cut-offs now that its getting hotter...

 But in Melbourne you never know...

Melbourne Black

Melbourne has always been known for its uniform of Black. However, every year without fail people come out saying that Navy is the new black, Turquoise is the new black,   White is the new black,  Red, Mustard, Grey... But it never really is. Black will always be the only "Black" because its always going to be new and fresh, it suits everyone, goes with everything, and makes you look slimmer, whats not to love?

I'm also loving Minimalism at the moment (and done in black is just beautiful!) its sleek and classic and looks great worn with grungy Kate Moss like hair and looks completely different when worn with a sleek pony or straight hair.

Claude Maus (http://www.claudemaus.com/)  easily one of my favourite designers
they do simple lines,  beautiful fabric, Interesting pieces, and cleaver draping and does this very very well. Let me know what you think.
