The Weekend of Fashion

jacandheathdotcom-1-of-51

So the other week I took myself off to Sydney for Shop Til You Drops Fashion Weekend at Royal Hall of Industries. The event is always fun, as not only do some pretty well known designers show their collections on the runway, but you are able to purchase coveted looks from a range of stalls in the hall itself. Not to mention you could have your nails, make-up and hair done just to get a bit of pampering. The main stage also saw key speakers talk about upcoming designs and looks for the coming season, as well as giving advice to the audience on how to wear certain items well. Add a wine bar and the event was definitely buzzing.

Exciting conclusion to the quest for the perfect t-shirt

There I am, at Jim and Jane, said neighbourhood object of my infatuation. I quickly realise that with winter coming t-shirts are in short supply; they sold out during sunnier months. Sanity goes out the window. I’m desperate to buy a white t-shirt, if for no other reason than writing about it made me obsessed. In a moment of sheer madness, I buy the only white t-shirt in the shop, and I pay… Continue reading

Precious Keepsakes

To me jewellery acts as the final touch on what is already a beautiful canvas. Jewellery can make or break an outfit, it can add a uniqueness, edge and elegance. So choosing jewellery to purchase should always be a careful decision. Of course you can buy costume type jewellery until the cows come home, but those key solid classic items that you will never want to give up, should be considered carefully.

Leather Love

My obsession with leather (nothing kinky) has been going on for a few years now. I am always investing in new leather items including boots, bags, jackets, vests and pants to expand my already over flowing wardrobe. Having a skinny leather pant custom made for me was probably one of the smartest fashion decisions I have made. They keep me warm in winter, as well as adding that edgy look to what could otherwise be a plain outfit. Whether it’s a plain boyfriend tee, crisp white shirt or this seasons peplum style top, a pair of leather pants will definitely match with anything. So this is the time ladies, to invest in a good pair of leather pants. You will not regret it.

My favourites out at the moment come from One Teaspoon, Winston Wolfe  and Bassike.

Quest for the perfect t-shirt

I’m allergic to basics. My closet is stuffed with patterns and bright colours, and guess what? Nothing goes together.

Once upon a time I had luxurious hours to try on millions of combinations to find that perfect pattern clash, but these days a bouncy toddler sits on my feet and demands muffins when I get dressed, so I need to be quick and organised. I’m not saying I’m going to stop wearing patterns, I’m just saying that throwing a cotton t-shirt into the mix, or maybe buying a second pair of jeans might make life a bit easier.

Confucius Say..

confusicous

This is a notion I believe in whole heartily  I am lucky enough to have more than one very amazing industry I work in. Writing, in particular about fashion is always ever changing. I get to experience things that not many people do, I get to meet interesting and inspirational people and view beautiful designs. I write from an organic place and always keep in mind my values and the values and needs of my audience. I want to captivate, entertain, please and astonish.  I love what I do and I would not change it for the world.
