“There is an air of something very classic and French yet the mentality is rock and roll, which speaks to me.” says Erin Wasson of French label, Zadig & Voltaire in this week’s Editors Picks on Net-A-Porter.
Make sure you check out the superbly relaxed Erin Wasson for Zadig & Voltaire capsule collection on Net-A-Porter, including a video of the shoot.

Despite precarious weather conditions last Saturday, 16 October, the Caulfield Cup led the racing carnival fashion stakes with the Chadstone Fashion Stakes Youthful Fashionistas competition.
This new addition to the fashion line up proved very popular with many great contenders. But, only one girl could win… And that was Kelly Odell from Glenhaven, NSW.
The first runner up was Ashlea Harvey from Marsden in QLD. Second runner up was Natalie Bikicki, from Macedon, VIC.
Well done girls!

I’ve always been a big fan of chunky rings. So, I’m obviously loving that they seem to be back on trend in the fashion world.
Wear one on its own, or go all out and wear a few. I’m a more is better kinda girl though! Just remember, to make the look work, it needs to be boho luxe, not bling bling!
Here are a few of my favourites:
1. Mania Mania Immortals Ring
2. soixante neuf silver hammered ring
3. Low Luv by Erin Wasson Aztec & Snake rings
If you’re thinking of adopting the trend as a seasonal thing, rather than an investment, check out cost effective options from Diva and Sportsgirl.

As you may have noticed, each month I feature a H-O-T Product and H-O-T Read on my blog and Facebook page.
This month’s H-O-T Read is V Magazine. V is no stranger to those in the know in the fashion world, or those simply in love with fashion. But, if you are a stranger to V, you should really pick yourself up a copy. Not only is it filled with cutting edge fashion, styling and photographers, it’s a great one to keep on your coffee table.
In the words of V themselves, “V is large-format and visually-driven, international in scope and collaborative in spirit. V is a magazine about fashion with a capital F and all the things that go with it: art, music, film, architecture…you name it… V is a place where uptown meets downtown, celebrities mingle with total unknowns, high art converses with underground culture. Chic, wacky, fun, fabulous…in a letter: V.”
Get V now at Borders or Mag Nation.
Make sure you check out the web page too for more regular updates from the fabulous world that is V.

I am totally loving the bright colourful boho looks that have been put together for Jessica Szohr’s character, Vanessa Abrams. Here are a few of my favourites…
H-O-T, H-O-T, H-O-T!!
Layers create height and interest
Be bold – break boundaries with lots of colour
Mix and match patterns for a fresh fun look
Don’t be afraid to mix big earrings with necklaces
Layered jewellery is always a winner
I never thought leggings as pants would look this H-O-T… but it does!Tell us what you think… who’s your favourite Gossip Girl fashionista?

A change in season means it’s time to take a good hard look at what you’re wearing and what’s in the wardrobe. With so many exciting new looks and trends each season, we soon think it’s time to give the wardrobe a massive overhaul and throw everything out. But do we really have to? And, can we do it cost effectively?
My approach is take a look at the pieces I already own and then work out how I can adapt them to create my ‘must’ have looks.
Vests are great. They can take a simple outfit and turn them into something unique and special.
A simple white tee and denim skirt – teamed with a funky vest and necklace can create a look that is perfect for sunny afternoons at the pub, festivals, and catching up with friends. You can even mix and match the look with leggings, funky boots or a great pair of ‘roman-style’ sandles.
Voila – a simple, effective and H-O-T look – using an investment piece that works!
Warning, not all vests suit everyone – make sure you pick ones that sit just right around your bust line – some can make you look bigger, smaller or just plain silly. If you’re not sure, get the shop assistants to help, and be sure to try them on with your base outfit.
Good luck!
