see you later alligator

i've only been around for about a month, but currently i am an 'anonymous' blogger. and i would like things to stay this way. so instead of posting photos of myself to show you what i'm wearing, i'll use polyvore and aim to accurately replicate outfits. with the rapidly evolving online retail environment, i should only really have to find alternatives for items that i have owned for years. 

i wore this outfit to a friend's 21st dinner party. i am in love love love with this shakuhachi dress and it's so flattering! i paired it with my jessica simpsons (yes, these actually came before the jeffrey campbells), a peter lang cocktail ring (which almost outshines the dress) and a dark navy witchery clutch from 2006, similar to the one seen below.

shakuhachi alligator up down dress $200

kotur "mini adre" black snake clutch $520

peter lang ring $98

jessica simpson shoes $99

catch my disease

i actually hate knightcat for posting these stylenanda babies. i want all the colours, but i think i'll settle with grey (or pink!?). stylenanda is a korean company which has some amazing basics, most of which are reasonably priced. theres a blazer, a dress, a skirt, a bag and some flats all on my wishlist. check it out here.

such great heights

 i think i've found an satisfactory alternative for the unattainable prada platforms i would die for (but can't afford). meet jeffrey campbell's el carmen. ok , ok, they look nothing alike, but they'll do.

we all get dressed for bill

diane von fustenburg once said "everything in fashion begins in the street", and if our current obsession with street style is anything to go by, miss dvf was definitely onto something. but before scott schuman, garance dore and tommy ton, there was bill cunningham. and his bike. i discovered bill at the brisbane international film festival last year, when a friend took me to see the documentary, bill cunningham new york. it's such a sweet film and an absolute must see. bill has a very unique way of looking at, and describing, style, and he has quietly influenced the fashions of millions worldwide.
