Birthday Present

A 21st birthday present from my beautiful, beautiful friends. To think this was only part of a gift. They most definitely spoiled me. I've been wanting this Jordan Askill heart ring for aaaages, and was beyond excited when I opened my birthday card and out slipped a picture of this baby. And it got delivered today, yay! I'm so glad I received it as a gift, otherwise I was simply going to go buy it myself - but this way it has meaning, and every time I wear it I will be reminded I truly do have the greatest friends a girl could wish for.

Trio of leathers, and Schoulers, and Wangs..

Two (or should I say three... cubed) of my current favourites. Shoes from Alexander Wang's resort 2011 collection: Noemi, Freja (an update of the original) and Kasia. And not forgetting the one and only pocket tee, which will always be a perennial favourite. Then we have the clutch version of the famed PS1 messenger bag by Proenza Schouler, fondly (and appropriately) coined 'the pouchette'. What I love most about these accessories however, apart from the bleeding obvious, is they seem to go with... everything. That's right, even more leather, in the way of an Acne a-line, 3.1 Phillip Lims or a Catherine Malandrino mini. And my soon-to-be delivered Michael Kors chronograph watch and (hopefully!!!) Jordan Askill heart ring don't look out of place either.

Let's be honest, these outfits aren't anything special, and they don't try too hard to be fashion-y... which is exactly why I love them. Clean, simple and minimal. Just the way I like my dressing. And proof that an overdose of leather can be done in an Australian summer. Need further convincing? Enter Christine Centenera, to the rescue once again- this time in Paris, Celine, and her new favourite Alaias. Oh yeah, and lots of leather.

Fine rings and little wings

2. Dior Bois de Rose Joaillerie via Garance

3. Gina Tricot Winged Earring via Vanillascented

I love everything about all of this fine jewellery. There's something about the juxtaposition of such a thin and dainty band with more heavier, solid pieces. I plan to pair my Jordan Askill (when I get one, of course) with my new Michael Kors gold man-style watch. It's just like wearing a sweet, sequin skirt (long-line, Taylor Tomasi style) with a slightly scruffy oversized sweatshirt. Been looking for winged earrings like those Gina Tricots for months. Need them in my life, now!
