Craving Louboutin


Jimmy Choo opened a store in Sydney last month and by all accounts the store and range are small while the markups are huge. However, if this Jimmy Choo store is a sign or a lure for Louboutin to come to Australia, I'll be a very happy girl. Totally droolworthy.

Anya Hindmarch Luce Frame Clutch


I dragged by heels on buying this gorgeous little clutch when it was on shopbop last year and it sold out of the silver one before I made up my mind. I won't be making the same mistake twice. Shopbop only have it in the gold this time, not the lovely cracked metallic leather they had before but maybe if I ask nicely they can get some in stock? In any colour though, this has got to be the near perfect party/clubbing clutch, it can be dressed up or down, has great organizational credentials and is a good size for chucking in your work/day bag the next morning. The only thing missing is a wrist strap so you don't lose it while you're burning up the dance floor. Love it! ^_^

Marc by Marc Jacobs Softy French Purse

I've been on the hunt for a new wallet. I decided that I needed a smaller wallet to fit just my absolute essentials (cash, cards, ID) and stash everything else in a card case or pouch. While large, clutch style wallets are handy and can hold all your stuff the size was becoming a pain for me. When I go out, I like to carry a bare minimum in a small clutch/wristlet and it was becoming a pain having to take cards/cash/id out of wallet every time because my huge arse wallet doesn't fit into my bag. So it's Marc Jacobs to the rescue with this cute little french wallet. Normally I wouldn't go for white or cream but for $148, there won't be tears when it gets dirty.

Grab Pucci Print Headbands

My hair is looking pretty rough at the moment. The last time I went to my hairdressers she gave me this horrible fringe and I haven't been back since. To be honest I hadn't been happy with the service for a while, I started going to them when the store just opened and the first few times I went the cuts were amazing but as time went on and the store got busier, the service and the quality declined. Now, the painful hunt for a new hairdresser begins, so not fun. In the meantime though, these cute headbands from Grab are a quick hair fix and the colourful Pucci-like prints are great for living up the last days of summer.

Louis Vuitton Damier Trevi


Now, I'm not the biggest LV fan I find the monogram to be more chavtastic than fantastic, with all the fakes floating around, it seems more about brand recognition than great design. However, they do make quality bags and I am fond of their ability to take a beating and still look great.

So, the damier canvas is perfect for the closet LV lover like me. Not overly branded or gaudy but still carrying classic LV styling. I've never felt though, that they've gotten the bag quite right with it usually being too mature for my tastes. LV finally got it right with the Damier Trevi, the pleating is perfect for adding a casual, youthful vibe. What more can I say, I think I'm in love.

Majorca Pearls

Pearls have always held a certain old school charm for me and I like to dress them down, wearing them with jeans. However, pearls can look out of place on a younger person so I'm always conscious that if I dress them up too much I can look like a kid playing dress-ups with her mother's jewelry. This is why I love this necklace from Majorca, the contrast between the delicate, organic look of pearls and the metal chain is a modern take on pearls. You get the sophistication, elegance and maturity of pearls with the casual, edgy look of a multi chain necklace.

$125 @ Saks
