Must Have Miu Miu

So technically today is the last day of winter...but this is Melbourne so I'm not expecting to be able to walk around with bare legs tomorrow (think I'll stick to my skin coloured tights for now if I want that look).

Considering that all our seasons are opposite of those overseas, I usually take inspiration from their current runways and try fit it into our weather.

I'm absolutely loving the Miu Miu Autumn/Winter 2011/12 ready to wear collection.

Look 25

It has everything I love. Bold floral prints. Wide shoulders. Collars. Navy. Structured coats. Big buttons...ah how I love vintage looking buttons.

14 year old Hailee Steinfeld is the recent face of Miu Miu which wasn't surprising since over the award season she wore mostly Miu Miu or Prada.

Here she is in the campaign for Autumn/Winter 2011/12 RTW

I think I'll do a post soon about looks inspired by this collection because I don't think many of us can ever afford Miu Miu.

ps. the only part of the collection I dislike is the use of real fur...I didn't include any of these looks in this post. I don't think it was necessary for the collection to be 'glamorous'  

The Navy Dress

this navy dress...the dress I've wanted for a while now. you know the one. that dress you look at and think about for weeks until you finally buy it.

Although for us shopaholics... sometimes it's not just a dress. It could be a warm knit, a pair of great shoes, a skirt, coat...anything.


For the last few weeks for me it was this navy pleated dress from Dotti that I've had my eye on. I finally bought it last week.

Dotti mini pleat belted dress $69.95

I was pretty pleased to find out that Chadstone VIP night included 20% off full price at Dotti. I was able to grab it for $55 instead of the usual $69.95...hey, every little bit counts.

I only have a few navy pieces, which have all been bought recently. I'm starting to really love wearing navy instead of only black. Also the fact that its pleated = love.

Worn with Sportsgirl necklace, tights and bracelets.

Bracelets, glass stretch set $19.95
Tights, baroque back seam tight $16.95

Sportsgirl Warrior necklace $29.95
