Fab Find - Wang Wo'llet

Alexander Wang Azure Perch Leather Quillon Compact Wallet

New Year, New Accessories!

Shopping Resolution 2012 No 1: Spend Less, Invest (it rhymes!)

This year I plan to buy more strategically, enjoying items I'll enjoy for longer and avoiding the 'because it's cheap and trendy' purchases.

In light of this new resolution comes a need for a new wallet for my new spending-ness. 

Thus... Wa LAH! Alexander Wang's Quillon Wallet. 

Note the textured Perch Leather. Love love love! 

2012 will be all about the accessories... I have a feeling!

The cover was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot.

The first film in the Millennium Series: 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'  is out in December, starring Mara and Daniel Craig.

I am love love loving the cover, very chic. The dragon embroidered Ralph Lauren is a bit literal, but Mara looks tres amazing. The spread below features Mara in looks by Marchesa, Alexander Wang, Vera Wang, Bottega Veneta and Calvin Klein. Great editorial spread from Vogue USA, a definite favourite.

Looks of the Week - 23-29th May 2011

Angelina Jolie - Wearing a Red one shouldered Jenny Packham gown, Jolie was in LA at the premiere of  'The Tree of Life' staring partner Brad Pitt.

Kirsten Dunst - In Chanel Couture from their Spring 2010 collection, Dunst was at the Closing Ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. Dunst always looks tres amazing in Chanel, and it one of the only girls who can pull of Couture.

Michelle Obama - Attending the Royal Dinner, the First Lady wore a black Ralph Lauren gown from their Fall 2011 collection. She looks amazing in the gown as well as her tres intense silver accessories. 

Selena Gomez - Looking sophisticated in a Black Dolce & Gabbana dress, Gomez was this great cut out dress to the 2011 Billboard Awards. Gomez is looking more and more lady like, shying away from her cutey good girl look.  

Victoria Beckham - In a draped Spring 2011 dress from her own collection, Beckham was in LA to honor her manager Simon Fuller at his Hollywood Walk of Fame Induction Ceremony. Beckham looks tres intense in this parachute dress, you can hardly tell she's pregnant. Not to mention I don't know how she can wear those platform pumps!

Zoe Kravitz - Premiering her latest film X-Men: First Class in New York, Kravitz wore a Silver Velvet Alexander Wang dress. I love love love Kravitz's look! It's so edgy and the silver velvet works so well on her (a very risky fabric choice).

Alexander Wang's Muse and Model and Jewellery Design in her own right Erin Wasson covers the June issue of Vogue Australia; The Ageless Issue.

Wasson has her own jewellery collection called Low Luv, a line which I love love love for it's Egyptianesque designs.

I don't mind the cover of Wasson. It's chic and minimal, and Wasson looks tres fab. Would have been nice to of had a contrast between Wasson's white and the pale background.

Sunny Love.

WANTED Minimal Baroque Sunglasses

It's been really sunny these past few days. I love love love sunny days, just makes me smile as weird as that sounds. So with that I love me some sunglasses. I've got a bit of a collection, a mix of random pairs from here and there. Round, square, wayfarers and more. Knowing me (being someone who loves a shop) I was doing myself some online window shopping and I came across these Minimal Baroque Prada Sunglasses (above).

When it comes to my style I love eclectic things, it just spices things up. Playing with androgyny and vintage. Back to the sunnies. I saw these Minimal Baroque Sunglasses from Prada's Spring 2011 Ready to wear collection. Very costume fashion, but heck I love them. I don't actually know how much they are because they are only sold in Prada stores. I really want me a pair!

I also found me some other sunglasses that I've been eying (below) from The Row, Supra for Liberty London and my fave Alexander Wang. Now I just gotta wait till I'm a rich bitch... ahaha.

ANTM Cycle 16 - Erin Wasson

Mollie (Credit: The CW)

Top Model is back. I am an avid follower of the series, and today finally cycle 16 aired. Following on from cycle 15's new 'High Fashion' structure 14 girls were put into a tough competition walking in Alexander Wang and Low Luv by Erin Wasson. 

I've gotta say though, come of the girls are very doppelgangery. For instance Hannah reminds me of my favourite Analeigh from cycle 11 and Dalya looks like Simone from cycle 14.

Anywho I've picked my favourite photos from this weeks shoot below. As for possible winners I love Hannah, Brittani, Mikaela, Ondrei, Mollie and Dalya
