A little… perfect? Yep, though so.








Max Azria’s collection was rich, consistent and intrigueing; though nothing particularly special. I did however LOVE the bronze leggings. Incorperating a tincey, wincey, bit of eighties style into the clothes, without going full-out neon, ray-ban-ish, and hideous.





Odd? Yes. Eighties? Just a bit. Ugly? Somehow not.
Chic, matrix-like clean lines, and ONCE AGAIN fabulous tailoring. Am I sensing a trend? Whoops, no. Just a classic.

Retro chic at its best! Odd colour combos, and cheeky glasses combined with classic pieces equals one fab show!



Gorgeous! Neutrals can create stand-out pieces!


Love the tight silhouettes in comparison to the loose coats. Not so much the designers Andy Warhol of HERSELF. Ego much?

Cheeseball? Yes. Trashy? Yes. Unsophisticated? Not altogether.

3. So I’ve been hearing a lot of hype surrounding Giorgio Armani’s debut cosmetics collection. I haven’t tried them yet; but they sure do look glamorous! Word around town says certain models “swear by them”. Give em a try, and post your results!




1. What would I do without this miracle foundation? Love it to death on a blotchy day; hate it when I have to fork out $45 for it.
