X Where the Wild Things Are

This picture makes me really excited about Where the Wild Things Are...

Now I know it's hard to imagine wearing some of these pieces due to our climate (heck it's hard to imagine wearing these pieces at all!) but they are just so incredibly cool that you can't not want one of these! They're exclusive to Opening Ceremony and are celebratory of all things Wild. If you're not game enough to try some of these items there is also a small range of jewellery and t-shirts.

Lace and Lover

Witches Circle Dress

White Magick Dress

Black Magick Dress (from Black Magick collection S/S 06)

In love as always with white lace and Lover.

The White Magick Dress is ethereal, and even more gorgeous than the Black Magick Dress that I always regretted not buying...

I have this Lover Charlotte Ruffle Dress in black, but I wish I had it in the cream too...

Strand SS Soiree

Tomorrow the Strand Arcade is having a Spring/Summer sale with 10-20% off selected designers. I only wish the corner shop were on sale too...

I love this gorgeous photo shoot inspired by one of my favourite fictional characters Alice in Wonderland.

Pop Up

Pop Up stores have been popping up (for lack of a better word) everywhere. Recently Incu opened up a pop up store for Opening Ceremony, which was extremely exciting since as much I desperately wish, we don't have an OC store here. And currently, Yeojin Bae opened a pop up boutique in Sydney and on show is her current Summer 09/10 'Jet Set' and her Spring 10 collection 'Joie de Vivre'. The designer will be instore every day from today until this Saturday, when the stores closes. The store is located at the Challis Studio Sunroom, 29 Challis Avenue, Potts Point.

Comme des Garcons X Converse

Comme des Garcons designed a collection of four sneakers for Converse, each featuring the signature PLAY motif on the All Star 1950's U.S. Army model. They're available in either black or cream and in the oxford or high top. Each retailing for US$100 many online retailers have them in stock now, unfortunately I haven't been able to track them down in any Australian stockists but with the AUD doing so well against the USD why bother trying.

Confessing im a shopaholic

The ridiculous thing happened to me recently, my sister told me her friend said that I remind her of Rebecca Bloomwood from Confessions of a Shopaholic. My sister very much agreed and decided to make me watch it to make me wary of my spending habits, and the possibility that things could go severely downhill from here. I have to say I totally see the relevance to their point but regrettably it doesn't seem to faze me in the least (possibly because Rebecca is a highly exaggerated character). There's no way that will happen to me (I hope).
