Delight!

Dior Spring/SUmmer 2010 ready-to-wear collection has me jumping for joy and eager to pull out my favorite frilly socks and red lipstick. A mixture of old Hollywood glamour, lingerie and cute, 50's-esque shapes, makes me want to grab a glass of champagne and head to a library.

Oscar De La Renta Vintage Purse

Look at my new love! My newest vintage find! This gorgeous black leather evening bag is the perfect size and shape for anytime I want to dress up my look.

Silk, Silver and Leather

Im off to a dance class and drinks with some friends today. I guess this is more of a sharp look rather than an outfit for just hanging out with friends... but I have been desperately wanting to wear my new silk pants!  The gorgeous handbag is another of my second-hand store finds! Metal mesh bags are amazing! When worn right, this little beauties will never go out of style!

1000 Hits!

Daring, Darling, Delight! has just reached 1000 hits! Thanks everyone for checking out my blog, and remember to keep coming back for more!

Pre-Fall Collection 2010

Black in a Hat

Black Black Black! It was about time I played with black! I have this amazing Eric Javits hat! I have not had a chance to wear it out yet... But I am determined to find a perfect occasion. The cute black and bead skirt is from none other then... wait for it.... Forever 21 (the online store)! A great little mini that will go with everything! Its really sexy, but paired with a blazer or coat is becomes a perfect look!

Darling

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!

Darling

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

Skirt Topshop, beret Uni Qlo, shoes Steve Madden 'Madden Girl', top Zara.

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.
