Chloe, blow the winter blues away...

Here in Sydney, Australia - although the sun is shining the mercury is dropping... and when the mercury drops, every smart fashionista knows its time to pack on the layers with a season to do a whole lot more with your closet!

Although I dislike the cold - I can't help but love the extra clothing. The numerous coats, jumpers and cardis as well as checking out the high-end threads especially what's for show by Miss Hannah Macgibbon at Chloe.

Embracing the feminine signature of Chloe Miss Hannah is no disappointment since the rein of miss pheobe philo at all producing a ready-to-wear collection that makes you just rethink what winter is really about...

Chiffon graced the runway with a classic balloon shape that was transcendent within this winter collection that made you swoon with delight. Miss Hannah evoked a girlie twist for traditionally boyish pieces keeping the seasons trend of tapered pants and rolled up hems for a conservative boyfriend look.

My personal favourite look (left) on Miss Lily Donaldson reminded me just why Chloe is the pure epitome of classic and sophisticated femininity.

Roses and Ruffles

I just walked home in thick rain, my uniform drenched from head to toe and it came to me- winter has prematurely arrived (well at least for a day), in silent reflection I mused over my wardrobe- in there messily arranged are royal reds, greens, navy’s, shades of purples and of course staple black and white pieces… I wondered. What good are they?

* the beautiful photographs Miss L showed me the night before-
the tutu inspired dress with a red military waist coat:

... inspired, i decided to do some sib. borrowing and bf. borrowing. My sister's red taffeta skirt and boyfriends tee-shirt rolled up to an XS... the outfit is missing some navy and well military buttons... in other words i want that jacket (above) in navy please!

I also remembered the April ‘09 vogue cover and fell in love with the Bally peachy ruffle top! Seems like ruffles are making a fast come-back from the past to celebrate Spring 2009!

...with Moschino’s 09 range featuring ruffles on almost everything… flash back Sept 08 Milan Show for Spring 09:

(apologies for the photos... slight formatting issue... for the entire collection visit:http://content.coutorture.com/2068337)

....I love ruffles! And I recently received a ruffled dress as a present. The dress is Lisa Ho $699 rrp, and the gorgeous green/grey shade of it gives it a dark wintery feel, ala the dark gothicesque feel of Ricardo Tisci meets the peachiness of ruffles. I love Lisa Ho! …

I guess I’ll be hunting for a military jacket pretty soon… After all the future is looking rosy ...

Yours Truly,

Miss C
