arnsdorf for sportsgirl

arnsdorf for sportsgirl via sportsgirl

For once we Australians are in the lucky position of being able to purchase a designer's chainstore collaboration locally instead of gazing wistfully at US and UK websites! Arnsdorf has collaborated with Sportsgirl to create a number of pieces that echo the understated yet quirky vibe that I love about the label's main collections. The retro pairing of blush and plum and that feeling of bookishly eccentric simplicity makes me think of the Upper West Side in the 1970s. I want to wear the above outfit with the collar upturned, a fabric rose pinned to my blazer lapel, and my hair piled on top of my head, while I pretend to be Meryl Streep or Diane Keaton in a Woody Allen movie! (I just bought the blush shirt so I expect to be living out this fantasy shortly)

Liberty of London has collaborated with US Target to create a collection of dreamy floral dresses and accessories! What a perfect partnership! Now if only Target Australia would follow suit, I would snatch up the gumboots, the umbrella, a purse and maybe a shirt and tie for my boyfriend, who is impressively, though perhaps surprisingly, capable of appreciating a good floral!

ooh la la fancy pants

Sonia Rykiel for H&M...Why do overseas shops get all the good stuff?! Apparently the H&M website will be streaming the fashion parade live from Paris in around half an hour. Mon Dieu! The media release reports that the collection will be available in Sonia Rykiel boutiques around the world as well as H&M stores. Jolly good, but I don't think we have one of those either...
