on the rocks : anja konstantinova

Apologies for the lack of posts recently, I've been juggling exams and a hectic school life and couldn't find time for the blog. But now with exams well behind me, I've been busy doing up posts on the Spring 2015 season {which I hope to post real soon!}, because it was such a spectacular season and I just had to feature the collections here. While doing some web-scouting on my own, I chanced upon this absolutely gorgeous editorial on This Is Glamorous, featuring Australian beauty Anja Konstantinova frolicking by the warm white beach. Cosy knits, windswept hair and sunkissed skin, paired with impossibly beautiful bright pink and white pieces, On The Rocks is the perfect summer inspiration to keep those dreaded rainy days away.

met gala 2014 : inside the party of the year

The Met Gala has always been a celebration of the talented and famous, being one of the only major events in the world that brings everyone who’s anyone together on one fabulous red carpet. From A-listers of Tinseltown to top supermodels and fashion editors to Billboard chart toppers, the Met Gala has earned its reputation for the Party of the Year with it’s dazzling guest list. With a dress code that changes yearly with the theme, the Gala’s red carpet has also been crowned the Oscars of fashion by Vogue for it’s myriad of stunning evening gowns. This year, the Met Gala celebrates couturier Charles James in “Charles James : Beyond Fashion” and attendees were encouraged to don their most extravagant, most statement making ball gowns à la the 20th century couturier. 


While we can only weep that we’re not at the Met Gala, these pictures from Vogue would have to be the closest we can get to attending it. Shot by style shutterbug Phil Oh, these pictures deftly captures a glittering black tie gala on the move : from attendees maneuvering their way around glossy limousines outside hotels to gentlemen helping the ladies get pass paparazzi in their traffic-stopping gowns to an insider peek of what it’s like to actually be in the Met Gala. Expect everything from the most candid moments to an impromptu Chanel fashion shoot {cue Stella Tennant} to pre-red carpet and red carpet action, as well as the occasional but completely forgivable FOMO jealous streak.

tribal goddess : abbey lee kershaw

Oh babe Abbey, is there anything she can't do? From being one of fashion's most recognisable faces with her baby face and gap tooth, to making her acting debut in Mad Max, she has also become the model du jour of Vogue Australia's April edition : featured in two impeccable editorials and fronting the beautifully styled {even that's an understatement} cover. I was beyond relieved and excited to see Abbey featured, it's been ages since her last editorial and I'm sure a lot of us have missed her! In the main editorial "Who's That Girl?", Abbey transforms into a tribal goddess : donning flowy, ethereal gowns that billow in the Australian wind accented by exquisite tribal jewelry, running down and posing by a white sandy beach fringed by clear turquoise water. I love how Giles Bensimon has perfectly captured her exotic beauty in the soft afternoon sunlight, and of course how Vogue Australia's editor Christina Centenera has wonderfully put together bohemia-meets-minimalism pieces from the likes of Alexander Wang, Stella McCartney, Chanel and Proenza Schouler, perfectly channeling the joie de vivre spirit of summer. With a stunner like Abbey taking us into an all-blanc summer daydream, it's easy to see why this editorial makes for some breathtaking summer inspiration…
