Outfit inspired by one of my favorite Taylor Tomasi looks during fashion week. 

VINTAGE OSTRICH BAG

I've been looking for a classic style ostrich bag for ages - this vintage one is incredible - ok, its not ostrich but embossed leather - but for $40 on ebay, i cant complain.

NEW AT ZARA - LEOPARD, MAXI SKIRTS AND KIMONO SLEEVES

Zara never fails to deliver great items every season - just a few things I couldn't resist.

If not obsessed, who wasn't intrigued by the Isabel Marant wedge trainers (or sneakers where I'm from) released last year?

PREEN FALL 2011

I love the Preen collection.  Although said to be influenced by the Northern California Arts and Crafts Movement, I'm drawn to the Op-Art qualities of the prints.  Growing up I was surrounded by a lot of pop- art by artists like Bridget Riley, Josef Albers and Victor Vasarely (background image), so its nice seeing a collection draw from it in such a wearable way. Definitely more sophisticated than the Piet Mondrian dress from YSL in the 60's.

COS SPRING SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS

My favorite high street store.  Not all of it is in store yet - but the black leather vest is incredible in person - thin and buttery. :-)

THE POUCH CLUTCH - CELINE & COMME DES GARCONS

The leather pouch as a clutch - from top: Celine lambskin leather pouch in blue and red, and Comme des Garcons fluoro and red leather document holders.

THE NEW EDITOR OF VOGUE

At least in the world of the Muppets. Miss Piggy plays editor of Vogue in the upcoming Muppet movie. Considering all the recent press on French Vogue, it makes for a more lighthearted change of news.

3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2011

Every season I am continually drawn to Phillip Lim's minimal palette, nod to tailoring and subtle feminine details.  This season, the sheer layering and organza trench look incredible.
