Did anyone see the gorgeous Temperley jumpsuit in Vogue last month? It was strapless and charcoal. I think I might make the purchase once the boyfriend removes himself from London to go overseas and work! I've never tried on a jumpsuit, hopefully it suits. I didnt mind the collection, the dresses were my fave.

I love everything! Beautiful colours, design and style. Just stunning. I've always loved Tanya's eyes...

I think it can be done. I have silk tunic dress (in the cooler months I wear a long sleeve under it). I wear a pair of dark blue jeans with it. And, a belt! A belt is key. It looks naff otherwise. The belt gives you that extra shape. I always receive heaps of compliments on it. Oh, and yes. I agree, the shoes have to be right! I think heels are easier to place with the outfit than flats.

The only things 'star' I like are 'Carrie Bradshaw-esk' like the necklace I purchased at the markets last weekend, the pendent is a star... no, I'm not sure Carrie ever had a 'star' around her neck, but I think she would have liked it (Pat Field too for that matter)...stars on clothes - no thank you... as guest of 10.42am says, only if you're under 15!

I have the Burberry rainboots - so gorgeous! with the well known Burberry print in the dark beige. I find, even though it is a print, they actually go with almost everything! I think we must draw the line with prints - no kittens or bunny rabbits, but cool original prints, like stripes or maybe even some spots I'm sure wouldn't go astray!
They are definitely one of the more practical purchases, helping us women justify spending the money on them :) unlike that Twenty8Twelve dress I just purchased...for the summer. Oops!

Wow. I have to say, the 'emaciated look' I think works for this spread. I know, I know...terrible thing to say. Then again, the Sports Illustrated model would have looked great too...I do like Sasha's look, but I do like Gemma Ward and they look so very similar...
Well spotted - star earrings great choice. One of the few times I can say I like the pink. It looks great in these shots!

I can't buy sandals yet.
I must paint my toe nails before I go showing my toes in public. They look so ghastly naked.
Why couldn't god make our feet a prettier site?!
Entry: How Much Does Your Umbrella Cost?

If you had asked me this six months ago, I would have said 'ha yeah right! I can't bare to take an umbrella with me, such a nuisance'...then the Moschino umbrella made its way to the pages of Vogue!
Aren't they just adorable? I spent 20 minutes in Harrods trying to decide which umbrella I wanted for my birthday...50 quid later ;)
And do you have any idea how many compliments I get? Besides the fact it looks like a weapon!
Go the designer umbrellas!! I'm all for it :)

I know what you mean '2.28am'. I think she has a beautiful figure underneath the dress/coat, but she isn't at all showing it off. Minus the coat, I think it could work really well. In saying that though, none of what really is happening is my style, so maybe someone with a more similar style will have a better opinion! x

One piece factor: hello!
Finally, young women realise it is OK to wear a one piece! I've been wearing the one piece ever since I can remember And it just so happens to be a strapless one piece with rushing in navy blue ;) I feel great in it. I tried a bikini one summer... never again! Looking uncomfortable and worrying is not a good look. Confidence is what attracts! I have never understood why girls/women feel so pressured into wearing a bikini when they can look so much better in a one piece, especially if they've got a few curves on them.
A one piece is sexy.
As for jewellery - lounging around, go nuts. Swimming like you all say, give it a miss. Just end up losing it.

Um as for those particular shoes, they're ugly. What are they? Suade? How's the colour? Not a good choice ladies.
I on the otherhand have a pair, very similar style to that by Hugo Boss in black leather.
I recieve many compliments (toe nail polish is a must - plum works well!)
They're hot! Check 'em out.

I think Gemma's turned to movies, she's got two coming out now. I haven't seen her on a runway in ages, only in the D&G ads. The previews for one of her films looked excellent! I'm so pleased, because we're both Perthies. Putting Perth back on the map!! ;)
I think it's quite comical if it's a tribute to Wintour...but it certainly doesn't seem like something the Lagerfeld would do. Coincedence? Yes I think so.

I can't say it's doing anything for me. I'm feeling the Gap/Urban Outfitters influence in this collection - and this is apparently NY Fashion Week? Next please.
