Zimmermann Swim 12-13 Collection

Zimmermann swimwear is always lusted after by many females around the country for their fun colours, pretty prints and fashion forward injection into swimwear. Although some do seem a bit more poolside then rumble tumble in the surf. This year's collection features the signature summery prints by Zimmermann but what I'm excited about is the animal print Locket ID Bikini and Oasis Balcony one piece. I'm really dreaming of the Clique T Bar Tankini in its sorbet apricot goodness.

My Pick's are:

PortableTV presents Lookbook.nu

 

Recently I went to the PortableTV presents Lookbook.Nu talk hosted in Brisbane. Lookbook.Nu co-founders Yuri Lee and Andy Chen provided insight into their concept behind Lookbook.nu and how they see digital communities and online media evolving.

 

Lookbook.nu is based on the question of "What are you wearing today?"and has engaged millions of people around the world to share literally what they are wearing. Starting just 4 years ago, they now reach It is an interesting phenomenon of online media and blogging and how rapidly the way people consume news is quickly changing.  In the talk co-founder Yuri Lee shared their 4 principles of Lookbook.nu which I do believe are 4 very good principles that sum up what a online fashion blog or forum hopes to achieve.

 

 

 

 

 

House Of Cards AW13 Preview

Recently I had the pleasure of being invited to the House of Cards AW13 Preview with the lovely Kirsten of blog Starring Nobody. House of Cards designer Ashiya was cute, cheerful and quirky and so is her label. With some designs made in limited runs and others stocked on websites such as The Iconic, House of Cards is building a name for itself for fun, youthful separates and dresses.

 

I fell in love with the exclusively designed flamingo screen print. Mix my obsession with flamingos swirled with my forever love of pastels pink & mint with favourite neutral navy and it is a match made in heaven.

 

But, you'll have to be patient, this collection will be released in February 2013 so definitely stay tuned to http://www.houseofcardsthelabel.com/ 

 

 

 

 

 

Rebecca Manning SS13 Swimwear Launch

Recently I went to the launch of good friend Rebecca Manning's Summer 2012-13 Swimwear collection.

 

This year, the collection incorporates lots more resort wear and as a first, all the collection is available in separates. This means you have an array of choice for different top and brief styles as well if you're a little more daring, maybe mixing prints.

 

Rebecca Manning prints are exclusively designed for her collection so if you love print, make sure you snap up your very own piece or two. My favourite print is the leopard mixed with underlying Versace inspired design with pop magenta accents in the very luxe lounge pants. See below me wearing mine!

 

If you're in Brisbane, head to her store for a look-see at 46a James Street, Fortitude Valley QLD.
