It's not even Winter and I can't wait till Spring! Just for these wonderful dresses from Luella... my favorite designer. The feminine necklines and the 'just-right' length skirts are so perfect!

Grandpa Pants

So Im off to work today and I thought I would channel my Grandpa. My tweed pants are from an Australian vintage clothing store and the jacket from HnM... (alright Im a HnM fan). I used my Hermes silk scarf as a belt which I think is the highlight of this outfit. My lovely new shoes are actually the type of shoe worn by school girls here in Tokyo. I can't stop wearing them!

High top red.

Just playing around with some new red tights and a new red hat I have recently added to my wardrobe. The cute little bowler hat I grabbed from HnM and the tights from a great second hand/recycled clothing here in japan called WeGo. Along with my Tiffany's necklace and previously shown HnM jacket Im very secretly loving this look... hehe! If only I could wear stuff like this outside of my room!

Boots, Belts and Navy

Here is the latest outfit I put together that I love. My Topshop 'Dusk' boots finally arrived... Sadly Topshop don't ship to Japan. I am in love with them. I wasn't sure they would fit in with my otherwise 'girly' wardrobe... but alas! I teamed them up with my navy knit from last winter HnM and a cream and black lace dress from an Australian store Bardot. Perfect for my day shopping in Ginza, the heart of Tokyo.

Daring.

Georgia Jagger...

She was this month's British Vogue cover girl. Something intrigues me about this girl...

Maybe its the lips... I want them!

I LOVE this picture! I found it while just searching through Google. The model is Eva Herzagova for the May 2009 issue of Italian Vouge. Its has taken me so long to spot it, but I really adore it. She is so gorgeous!

Delight!

I LOVE love this little bag I found at my local charity store! Perfect little bag for a night on the town!

So Frenchy

Lime Time

I wore this to work. My lime blouse is so beautiful I want to wear it everyday! Now I just need the Chanel nail colour Jade to finish this outfit off.

Dress of the Month

I wore this fun outfit to Harajuku today for my hair appointment. I really love the '31 Sans De Mode' polka-dotted dress I found in a small boutique store.  The bold shoulders and colour make this my favorite dress of the month!

Love

SO if your anything like me you were glued to the first 2 episodes of GOSSIP GIRL season 3! Of course I was watching Blair very closely and.... I found the most gorgeous dress... www.net-a-porter.com

This amazing photo shoot in the September issue of Paris Vouge caught my eye.

I love the lace and tweed look. Simplicity and elegance = Love!

YSL vintage find!

Yep! I found this gorgeous pair of Yves Saint Laurent 1.5 heel beauties! The suede shoes are in amazing condition... I just have no idea what year they were crafted! The heels are a beautiful tan colour with gold detailing. Ahhh I'm so sad, they are not my size! Ebay anyone?

Hermes Vintage Silk Scarf

I am having the luckiest week! I found this stunning 100% silk scarf in a charity store. Made in France the Hermes scarf is decorated with cream, navy and gold straps and buckles and has 'Hermes Sellier Paris' written in navy. Gorgeous!

Vintage VALENTINO!

Look at this amazing black and silver leather clutch! Its a vintage Valentino that I picked up from a second hand store. Amazing I know! Its the perfect finishing touch for my Autumn wardrobe!

Key Pieces of Alice in Victoria

Gloves and jacket from HnM, cream Monte Negro vintage bag 1983, Meramorphose button-up skirt.

Alice in Victoria

The beautiful baby blue skirt is a cotton and silk high-waisted mini, directly off the streets of Harajuku. One of the famous styles in Harajuku are the cute Lolita girls. The Lolita subculture has a very distinct style, incorporating baby doll, victorian style dresses, large hair bows and hats, knee high stockings and pretty much anything thats cute and a little over-the-top. Gothic, Sweet, Punk and Classic Lolita's can be found all over Tokyo and I must say, Im sweetly falling in love with the style, quickly. I used an old HnM black lace top and gave it some of my own love, with a pair of scissors. The black and gold detailed jacket and the black bow gloves are two of my latest finds from HnM. My sweet little bag is another charity store jewel! Labeled Monte Negreo made in Japan 1983, it sold for 500 yen ($5.40 US), a very lovely buy! For my second Autumn look, I took inspiration from the adorable Harajuku Girls and the elegant Victorian era.
