Je t'aime Celine.

We are going through a bit of a handbag obsession at the moment, as you may have noticed. It was Alexander Wang who sparked our love for leather goods and now there is no turning back. Our latest love is the Celine Luggage Tote. It's such a beautiful, classic style, yet the new range of bright hues gives it a contemporary touch. We love the large one and the mini ones, the difficult part would be choosing a colour! 

Sequins.

  

 Kate's wearing: Dotti dress, Country Road wedges, Mimco necklace (mum's), Louis Vuitton bracelet (mum's).

As many of you have probably noticed, sequins have a become a huge trend for summer. Although we typically don't like anything too glitzy, this sequin dress is something we had to have. We love the flattering style, the low back and the lovely, dull, bronze colour of the sequins; as they give the dress just the right amount of sparkle. We paired the dress with our Country Road wedges for these photos (which were also taken for Kate's portfolio), as they're something we rarely get to wear, because let's face it, chunky, wooden wedges really aren't that practical for everyday wear, but we love the look of them. Hopefully we get more wear out of them this summer...

P.S. Sorry for our lack of outfit posts, we're busy studying for exams, however we will be finished on Friday!

Loafers.

One of our latest obsessions, loafers. They are so hard to resist because they come in so many nice patterns and colours and are great to add a touch of sophistication to an outfit. Although they may seem more of a winter wardrobe item, we think they are perfect with little shorts and blouses for summer. These are some of our favourite styles:

1. Steve Madden "Maddee" loafers

2. Top Shop "Madison" loafer (we actually purchased these last week and will have an outfit post for them coming soon!)

3. Top Shop 'Cosy green suede slipper' loafers

4. Top Shop "Victor" patent tassel slipper loafers

5. Steve Madden "Maddee" loafers in leopard print

6. Top Shop 'Cosy yellow suede slipper' loafers

Lover.

Olivia's wearing: Mink Pink top, Lover shorts, Louis Vuitton ring, Mimco necklace, Karen Walker sunglasses, Sportsgirl sandals.

Lover is a label wish we wish we could have more of. Their pieces are so simple and feminine; the fabrics they use are divine and the craftsmanship is impeccable - it's just the price tag that restrains us. We recently got this Mink Pink top because we wanted a few more bright pieces to add to our wardrobe and we were drawn to the higher neckline. It looks lovely paired with shorts and a choker, we particularly like it because it gives outfits a classier look and adds a pop of colour.

Tangerine.

Olivia's wearing: Sportsgirl top, Supre shorts, Sportsgirl clogs, Lovisa choker,

 Louis Vuitton ring, Alexander Wang bag, MAC lipstick, Dior nail polish.

We don't usually buy something in more than one colour, let alone three, but as you can probably guess, we really like these shorts. They are really versatile and great for everyday wear. For this outfit, which was also for Kate's photography portfolio, we have used a few of our older pieces that we haven't worn for a while, like the ruffled cami and the tan clogs. We thought we could use them for these photos because they are both timeless pieces. As for the ring, the colours in it are great for summer and they matched the tangerine hue of the shorts perfectly.

Petals and Pleats.

Olivia's wearing: Alice in the Eve dress, Witchery shoes, Louis Vuitton clutch, Mimco necklace,
Louis Vuitton earrings, Dior nail polish, MAC lipstick.

We also took these photos for Kate's assignment, which is a portfolio based on the topic of street style photography, with each set of photos featuring a particular colour. As soon as Kate decided to do the colour red we instantly thought of this dress. We love it because the vibrant 'crimson' hue is a nice change in comparison to the typical red you usually see and the pleats are nice and delicate, which gives the dress a vintage feel when paired with the lace.

PS, I love you.

Our latest obsession, Proenza Schouler's PS1 collection. I (Kate) am in love with the bright colours, yet also the classic brown and black satchels. I would be so happy if I could get either the PS1 medium satchel, the PS1 pochette or the pouch, if only I had the money :(

Velvet.

Olivia's wearing: Valleygirl blouse, American Apparel skirt, Sportsgirl wedges, Alexander Wang bag.

We took these photos for Kate's photography assignment. This American Apparel skirt is the skirt, it's one of the best things I've (Olivia) ever bought. The material is perfect; it's the softest velvet and I love the style, as it has just the right amount of flair and it's a great length, as it isn't too short, but it's not too long and daggy either. I'm considering buying it in navy as well because I've worn the black so much and they're so well priced.

Emile.

I (Kate) have fallen in love with the Alexander Wang Emile tote, if I only I didn't have two Wang bags already. The butterscotch and the black with rose gold hardware are my favourites, but I love them all. I have come to the conclusion that Olivia and I are way too obsessed with Alexander Wang bags and it is a pretty unfortunate addiction to have considering they are rather expensive.

Ginger.

Kate's wearing: Dotti blouse, Noughts and Crosses skirt, Lovisa necklace, YSL ring, Saba clutch, Wittner sandals.

We don't have a lot of skirts in our wardrobe as we tend to opt for shorts instead, but we like the minimalist look of this one and it's rich, ginger colour. The knot gives it an extra something and a touch of sophistication. Clutches are also something we like at the moment, particularly simple ones that don't draw your attention away from the rest of the outfit.

Calf Hair Clutches.

1. Adriel leather and printed calf hair clutch

2. Prisma calf hair biker purse

Loving these two new calf hair clutches from Alexander Wang. I'm (Olivia) normally not a fan of calf hair or black and white animal print, but these two pieces are quite devine.

 I'm not in the market for any new goodies from Mr. Wang at the moment though, as you can probably see. 

A Touch of Blush.

Kate's wearing: Mossman top, Supre shorts, Lovisa choker, YSL ring, Wittner shoes, 

Alexander Wang bag, Ray Ban sunglasses.

Just a simple, casual outfit Kate wore to uni today. You may recognise these shorts from our previous post, 'Citrus.' We were surprised when we found these Supre shorts on the blogspot 'Oracle Fox,' we were sure they would be expensive, as the fabric doesn't look cheap, nor does the style. They are actually really comfortable and they wash really well, which is great considering the price tag. We got this Mossman top ages ago and rediscovered it in our wardrobe recently. Although at times we think the sleeves are too big and puffy, it gives outfits a lovely, slightly sophisticated touch.
