RED Lips Sink Ships

Red is such an amazing colour, to wear and just as a colour in general - in fact it is probably my favourite colour. But something about it just screams 'Look at me!'. Haha, and it is so versatile, as in it can be romantic and glamorous or blood red 'I'm a vampire'-type thing, or just playful! I don't think I own enough/much red.
Red was on my mind so to the blog it goes!

My problem is, though, that I don't really suit red lips, which annoys me as it is such a pretty lipstick/lip gloss colour. Oh well, hopefully it will look better when I go back to my natural colour (6th of December. Wooooh!).

Update: My problem is that I have lost my red lipgloss! It was blood red and smelt delicious. Bummer.

By the way, don't correct me - I know the actual saying is 'Loose Lips Sink Ships'.

Playsuits

Aren't playsuits lovely? This trade me member, nzyapee, sells heaps. All a bit expensive for me right now seeing as I am saving for summer but I desperately want someone to get married so I can wear that adorable mint green one. Or just any half-decent excuse for me to get the sailor one!

the girl with kaleidoscopes for eyes

"Dressing is the fourth bodily function. After breathing, eating and sleeping - and excluding a couple of delicious optional extras. One of the fundamental pleasures of the human body is to clothe it, thus making fashion its closest relative - pretty important.... It lives and exists not only as one of the most ravishing and compelling of entertainments but as the surest indicator of time. Ever since Eve wore a fig leaf, fashion has been associated with two things: defining sexuality and committing outrageous behaviour.

... there are the handful of geniuses who put beauty and art before everything. That will be me one day."

This is a quote from my friend Liselle's tumblr, the girl with kaleidoscopes for eyes. I would definitely check it out. I just thought this quote was so cool and special and seeing as my blog is a fashion blog (kind of) it deserved some reblogging. There is more to the quote but I shortened it as I always seem to do massive posts.

Moochi

So impressed with the Moochi Spring 2010 collection. My mums friend manages the Tauranga store so I was in there a little while ago and to my horror it is no longer all women's clothing! I used to think of it as a 'mum' store but no sir-ry! I would wear most of it. And what I thought is cool is that most of the garments from this collection are named after places/states in America like the Orleans sweater, the Alabama dress (coincidentally I was bidding on an 'Alabama dress' on Trade Me from Ruby), the Texas shorts (my favourite piece from this collection - the leather shorts in the 2nd picture) etc. I am also in love with the Georgia dress which is the black and white dress at the bottom.

 

  

 

 

Maxi maxi maxi!

Today I went out to dinner at Zeytins with my friends to celebrate my newest bargain: my maxi dress! Well, we went out to dinner because we were bored, but it was a good excuse to wear my dress, which I wore with my clogs and crochet jumper-thing. Only 30 bucks and I absolutely adore it, and I will get heaps of wear out of it because I can wear it to the beach or at night! I stumbled across it while getting coat hangers at the warehouse and while Marcelle tried on a bikini. It is just so much fun to wear.

  

   

  

Lonely Hearts

If I had to choose one designer to be my favourite, I would probably choose Lonely Hearts for various reasons; it is reasonably cheap, it is a NZ designer so the clothing is easily accessible for me (no buying online & shipping fee & change in currency etc) and the clothes are just so damn pretty and 'me'! They are so wearable unlike some designers. These are a few of my favourite things from the last 2 collections:

 

 

 

What Is Your Damage? collection

 

 

 

 Love All collection

And as if that weren't enough, Lonely Hearts does the most beautiful lingerie imaginable.

  

LA Vintage

What a rad little store/website! They buy cool, vintage clothing and sell it. I know that's not that exciting but some of the stuff they have, especially the stuff they have resewn, is so amazing! And so many clogs! Also, they say what era every garment is which is handy.
