Gretchen Jones

I know for us people in Australia that summer is on it's way, but I had to show you this FW collection that I found last week from Gretchen Jones. I am in love with the first outfit and plan on achieving this look with a smaller budget. Even though it's technically Spring here in Australia it doesn't feel like it as I am still wearing winter clothes and layering up most days. Now I am a huge fan of Winter, but I am all ready for Summer, so please hurry up and get here already! Is anybody else feeling this way as well?
Be sure to check out the rest of the collection on Gretchen Jones' website.

This week I was delighted to be introduced to the funky boho Australian designer label, Spell. Spell is known for their iconic Native American inspired adornments, fashion & footwear, as well as a collection of recycled and vintage fashion treasures. On their blog they have shared some lovely images of their new SS11/12 range, which looks amazing. I wish that I had hair like that, which I could wear braids and pretty feathers in it.

'This season we borrowed the elegance of classic Hollywood sirens, and made it our own with a healthy dose of 90s grunge. Kathryn Hepburn meets Courtney Love. Sophia Loren meets childhood Drew Barrymore. The aim was to mess up timeless sophistication with rock’n’roll swagger.'

Style Stalker's new lookbook Young Hollywood is so beautiful. It has such a old and classic Hollywood feel to it, kind of like a old film you can never watch too many times. I am totally loving this pale blue colour that has been used with the collection. I am totally wishing that I could add something from this collection into my wardrobe this summer. Be sure to check out the whole of the collection on Style Stalkers website here.

I can't believe that I am already thinking about outfit ideas for this coming summer. I am already missing the days when you could get away with a pretty dress and a pair of sandles.

Rachel Antonoff and Mini Ponies

I am totally crushing on Rachael Antonoff's latest lookbook for Fall/Winter 2011. Rachael Antonoff is a lovely designer that makes these constantly cute outfits. I nearly want to buy the whole collection because it's just all so beautiful. I'm also especially loving the appearance of Mini Ponies in the lookbook. Sometimes wish I owned a horse that I could go riding on. To view the rest of the collection, go here.

Launch of Silent Sundays lookbook

The lovely Rihannon from Liebemarlene Vintage has released her new lookbook for her online store Silent Sundays. In her store she sells a lot of vintage clothing and pieces from designers like New York's Family Affairs, the U.K.'s To Be Adored, and Secret Squirrel from Australia. I am loving all the clothes vintage and designer.
