WOW.

I want.

I love DVF.

I love her collections, bright colours mixed with her signature wrap dress. All interesting and all wearable.

My favourites:

Mmm, sales!

I’ve tried to torture myself this year and promise not to spend any money on new clothes, I have far too many as it is. But i still can’t help surfing Net-A-Porter and picking out my favourite sale items!

One from each category. ( I was spoiling myself, shhhh)

First up, dresses, I LOVE dresses so much, they’re my weak spot. They solve every fashion dilemma and are so easy to make outfits around, no matching colours or prints, plus, your favourite dress can make you feel like the US Bailout. (trillions of dollars if you all didn’t get that economic joke)

I’ve gone for a quite simple dress as my favourite this sale season as it is summer and I don’t care for fancy dresses during the hot months.

T Bags Poppy Belt Dress, usually 128.82 pounds down to 77.29 pounds.

Next, my favourite skirt, these are my second favourite item to wear, they flatter my lower half extensively! I’m undecided between the sequinny, sparkly one(i LOVE sequins) and the bright green ruffled one! In my dreams, I’d get both!

Moschion Cheap (yeah right) and Chic, was 744.94 quid, now a very very cheap 521.46 pounds.

Another Moschino Cheap and Chic, was 324.86, now 243.65.

Tops now, I’m not really a fan of them, I always find they’re cut unflatteringly for my arms or are just too short. But still, I have my favourites!

This one here I think is just perfect.

Matthew Williamson beaded chiffon tank, was 677.72, now 406.63

I’m not a fan of pants either, I think they look so weird in pictures and I’ve just seen too many horror stories to have them in a good light in my head. Saying that though, I found some shorts that I wouldn’t find having!

Vince Cotton twill shorts, was 112.03, now 78.42.

And also, I couldn’t help but throw these in here, they are awesome.

Philosophy Di Alberta Ferretti, was 520.89, now 364.62.

I’m gonna be honest here, I ain’t gonna do a favourite pair of jeans, to me, all jeans look the same in pictures, it’s when you try them on that you can truly say whether you like them or not. And I only wear one style of jeans and I can get them for NZ$60 from my closest Jeans West!

Again, I’m not a big fan of knit wear, I prefer my basic generic cardigan from Glassons than some of the fancy schmancy stuff out there. Although, in saying that, I can’t resist a bit of knitwear that disguises itself as something else.

Take this one for example, is it a trench coat? Is it a cardigan? Is it a plane?

Sonia by Sonia Rkyiel, I can’t even be bothered with the price.

But there are some redeeming cardigans on Net-A-Porter that COULD MAYBE POSSIBLY change the way I view knitwear.

Alexander McQueen, was 250.09, now 187.57

McQueen’s at it again, it’s such a simple idea but I’ve never seen it done before! It looks awesome.

I love jackets/coats that make a statement, be it an unusal design or a bright colour/print. Its so much more lively than your basic black coat.

Paul and Joe, was 649.73, now 389.84

Also, I gotta say, this one pulled on my heart strings too, it looks amazing comfy and warm, like wearing your duvet out on the street. It’s like a dream of mine, you wouldn’t have to get out of bed! Just wake up, wrap yourself out and off you go, down to the shops.

It’s by Rick Owens Lillies and it used to be 632.92, but it’s now 316.46, a bargain! (just in case you wanted to make my wishes come true, i’ve also added in the link there!)

Once again, not a fan of bikinis, but I love the print on this one.

D&G, was 162.43(why oh why would you pay that for a swimsuit?! thats a weeks paycheck!!), now 113.70(not much better to be honest)

Not really gonna show off the lingerie I want just in case there’s some creepy people reading this blog, and gonna skip the “activewear” as I think activewear is not really a fashion statement

Fav bag = VBH alligator compact clutch, was 2371.64, now 1185.82.

The jewelry section’s lacking a bit, it all looks a little tacky, but I did fall in like with this darling.

Tom Binns Neon stone cuff, was 553.21, now 387.25

I am a faithful shoe lover, I may window shop a lot, but once I buy a pair of shoes, as long as they are good to me, they will be worn until they fall apart. That being said, here are the shoes I keep coming back to check out, they’re just so damn sexy!

The colour, the colour, the colour!

Marni, was 280.06, now 196.04

The sequins, the sequins, the sequins!

Miu Miu, was 414.47, now 207.24

This belt is kind of amazing.

Emanuel Ungaro, was 1112.07, now 667.24.

And who couldn’t resist a matching set of gloves and a scarf embroidered with Swarovski crystals?

William Sharp, 192.12 and 78.89 pounds respectively.

Well that covers it for my post-christmas shopping, maybe sometime soon I’ll show you what’s on my christmas list which I didn’t get this year so y’all can get saving for next year!

Happy New Year!

NEW SHOES!

Mmmmmm, I love them!

Sorry about the shitty mirror shot.

This is my outfit for today.

I think i’m going to start posting my outfits.

Like every other fashion blog out there =p

But no, this is just to inspire me to wear new things everyday.

Threadless!

I’ve been a fan of threadless for a while now.

I’m not in the mood for writing but I need to note these spectacular dresses down.

Butterfly dress.

Cutest little dress ever.

Love sequins.

Would be cute as a junior bridesmaids dress.

Keen for ball next year!

There’s so many gorgeous ball dresses and evening dresses out there it’s hard to choose just one. I wish we had at least five balls a year just so I could wear my favourite dresses as of right now!

The top five arrrrrrreeee:

1) Marchesa Beaded Gown

Isn’t it just wonderful, it looks so flattering and flowy and ahhhhhh (sigh of regret that i’ll never own it)

2) Temperley London Evening Dress

Same sort of style as number 1, tight bodice, long flowing torso/dress bit.

3) Embellished Olive Charmeuse Dresses by Faviana

Sorry for the little photo, it’s the best I could link to.

4) and 5) (it’s a toss up between which comes first) These aren’t exactly ball dresses as such. But are still delightfully flirty and glamourous.

Mesh party dress

Who doesn’t like a bit of peanut butter and jam!

Some more Etsy goodness coming your way.

Korewa nan desu ka?! Sushi USB desu!*

WOW. Look at those amazing colours! A feast of blues and purples. My all time favourite colours. But then again, I love ANY colour. I’m pretty much a colour fiend. I have to be restrained. I just can’t get over how amazing this skirt looks. Just. Wow. No other piece of clothing has made me speechless. I’d love to sleep with this, just so when i wake up in the morning I’m greeted by these great colours. It would make my days better!

This is super kawaii! An orignal funny take on the monkey evolution posters!

Attention Pokemon fans! Bet you haven’t caught these ones! From the Hotness Factory, filled with other witty clothing.

This clever diamond ring over at Melaniefavreau’s Etsy shop caught my eye. And this rad t shirt from ameliapmorris. I’d wear it for the lulz!

I think that’s enough for one post! Sorry about the photo overload…

*Excuse my japanese!

A-while

The longer it is between blog posts, the more delectable goodies I have to share.

I currently have 86 bookmarks in my Coveted folder. It seems I covet more than I share!

Diane von Furstenberg is one of my very favourite designers. I love the patterns and colours she uses. It’s a visual feast! She seems to make designs that suit a curvy girl a lot and I love her for this! Mostly I just adore the prints she uses.

This slash back dress is just adorable, I could imagine wearing it whilt flitting around Aotea Square markets in the summer heat, looking chic and cute. The colour is just wonderful!

This Rachel Pally dress has been sitting in my folder since the beginning but I’m still undecided on whether I like it enough to actually want it. Sure it’s grecian, flattering and rather striking in a plain way. But then it is just a sort of casual, jersey, rather plain dress. It seems to change in my mine everytime I see it. But since I’m doing a big bookmark clean up I may as well stick it up here.

I love the print and colours in this dress by ogekko from Etsy. Shame it doesn’t come in bid kid sizes! Might have to splurge on it for the little sister!

First off.

After being inspired by the many fashiony/covety blogs I read, i decided to start my own. Purely so i can keep track of all the things I want/need instead of having hundreds of bookmarks on Firefox!

Lets get started.

I love shopbop. They have some fantabulous clothes on there, i could spend up a storm. I’m really loving this t shirt/overshirt right now.

Isn't this just gorgeous for over jeans when you're in a lazy mood.

Another dress that’s really caught my eye is this Tuxedo Denim Dress from Scarpe. As a sewer, I love denim, it’s so versatile and long lasting. I pretty much live in jeans, so i love a unique twist on denim. This really hits my spot.
