Motel's SS14 Lookbook

Hi everyone!

The Motel SS14 lookbook has been unveiled, and I can't be more excited! From pretty prints and cute off-the-shoulder skater dresses to matching separates and jumpsuits, Motel's SS14 collection is sure to make us dream of the happy summer days even more. With ample 90s inspired pieces, including crop tops, oversized sweaters, and satin slip dresses inspired by the legendary Kate Moss, I'm seriously counting down the days till I get hold of a couple of pieces from this collection.

Lazy Oaf x Nasty Gal Collection

Hi everyone!

UK based Lazy Oaf have teamed up with famous US online store Nasty Gal to create a summer collection for women. The new collection was launched on May 28th, and features crop tops, dresses, tees, leggings, dresses, bralets, skirts, bodysuits, and shorts inspired by candy, stickers and all things witty and weird. The collection's lookbook was shot by photographer Viktor Vauthier, and showcases the gorgeous New Zealand fashion model Jessica Clarke. Some images from this lookbook can be seen below:

Shot by Sam Hiscox, Lazy Oaf and Nasty Gal have also released an accompanying video which truly portrays the fun theme of this collection! Check it out here:

What do you think of this lookbook? Which piece/s is your favourite from this collection? Mine is definitely the denim jacket shown on the video, but I couldn't find it on neither Nasty Gal's nor Lazy Oaf's website. I also love the sticker print cropped tee and the watermelon shorts. How cute and perfect are they for summer?

Pieces from this collection can be purchase either from Nasty Gal or from Lazy Oaf.

Pretty Daze

Hi everyone!

Rad Australian store Beginning Boutique have launched another fun and colourful lookbook, titled Pretty Daze. This lookbook features 19-year-old Australian fashion model Teresa Oman (who has been getting some big Tumblr love lately). Shot by photographer Ali Mitton and styled by Alina Ward, the lookbook features clothes from an array of Australian Designers, including Cameo, One Teaspoon, Finders Keepers, Insight and Stylestalker. Hair and make-up was done by the very talented Ashlea Penfold. 

Needless to say, Teresa looks really beautiful, as she always does. And I really love how the styling of this lookbook perfectly matches the model's ultra unique look. What do you think of this lookbook and the collection that features in it?

Beginning Boutique were kind enough to give you lovely readers 15% off this collection by using the code DAZE at checkout! 

Whoop!

Eclectic Eccentricity: Geometrics v.2

Hi everyone!

A while ago, as I was browsing the Internet instead of doing Uni related work, I came across another jewellery website - Eclectic Eccentricity. For those of you who never heard of this label, EE are an online jewellery boutique specialising in vintage pieces. Here is some background information to put you in the picture: 

With a penchant for the pretty, Eclectic Eccentricity's founder Lucy Crick started scouring antique shops and markets for quaint curios and exquisite gems; piecing them together with other trinkets and treasures found hidden away for years. This is the heart of EE: each and every piece weaves a tale, from it's individual components, a new story is made.... it's jewellery with stories to tell.... 

Following from the success of last year’s Geometric launch, Eclectic Eccentricity have recently released Geometrics v.2, a new collection of bold geometric shapes, fluid lines and sumptuous universe-inspired beads. Think mathematical forms meets tribal accents and vintage flourishes. Perfection! I asked Grace, the lovely person behind EE's press team, to send me some images of the new collection's lookbook to be able to share them with you. These are the pieces that mostly caught my eyes:

The Deianira necklace consists of a duo of brass triangles entwined with gold plated chain.

It is then finished with softly tumbled Pyrite beads. 

Isis triangle pyramid necklace // Callisto multi drop charm necklace // Akira triple triangle necklace

Aria turquoise ring // Marilla lapis lazuli ring // Caelia vintage fire opal ring

The Penelope vintage charm bangle consists of a triplicate of vintage metal base bangles with a bronze, copper and silver patina, completed with golden brass diamonds and a 'mix and match' selection of Titanium Quartz, Turquoise or Pyrite bead.

How gorgeous are these pieces? I love them all, but my ultimate favourites are the Callisto multi drop charm necklace and the Marilla lapis lazuli ring. These items and all the others that are part of this collection can be bought here. What do you think of this collection? I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do!

Preview of Dixi's New Collection

Hi everyone!

Tomorrow, Sunday the 27th of January, is a big day - a new collection will be arriving at Dixi. How great is that? I'm always so excited about their collections as they stock so many unique pieces, both vintage and modern.

This ensures that Dixi's customers look unique in a crowd! And who doesn't love to stand out in the crowd? As always there will also be a selection of clothing and accessories to pull the looks together. 

I LOVE EVERYTHING! But I have to be realistic as money does not grow on my back garden trees. I'm therefore hoping to get the silver cross bracelet, the white stone ring, and the burgundy stone ring. They're so pretty, right? So make sure you check out Dixi's website at around 10am (UK time) tomorrow. Don't worry if you'll still be half asleep, as your eyes will surely pop out once you see what items they have in store for you :)

Crazy Beautiful

Hi everyone!

Beginning Boutique, the online Australian brand which I wrote about some months ago, recently launched a new lookbook called Crazy Beautiful. This lookbook, featuring photographer Nat Lanyon, is all about innocence and youthfulness with a playful, fun tone. The styling bounces between casual and relaxed looks, ideal for hot summer afternoons, versus sexy glamour, for when the volume needs to be turned up at night. 

I love these photos, and the collection that features in this lookbook is just so Summery. I especially fell in love with the black denim shorts and the cat top, obviously. Thank you Beginning Boutique for making me miss Summer even more!

These are my favourite photos from the lookbook, but you can see all the images on their blog.

 

What do you think of this lookbook and the collection that features in it?

Remember that Beginning Boutique ship worldwide and you can get FREE shipping on orders of $50 AUD or more. Score.

Darkly Decedent • Previews of Regal Rose's New Collection

Hi everyone!

I was invited by Regal Rose to show you lovely readers some exclusive preview and lookbook images from their new collection. I'm sure most of you have heard of them, but for those of you who have not, here is a small introduction about this label.

Regal Rose, which is a UK based jewellery label, was created in 2008 by twin sisters Rebecca and Louisa Warwich, specifically because they could not find what they wanted on the high street or online. Their line, which is inspired by the current catwalk trends and by London's street style, includes a wide range of original and seasonal pieces. Regal Rose won best stand at the Clothes Show Live 2011 and are regularly featured in magazines, including Instyle and Cosmopolitan, among others.  

Their New Collection, which is called 'Darkly Decedent', will be revealed on Thursday 18th October (tomorrow, yay!) and is described as 'Gothic goes Glamorous'. This Collection, together with the Lookbook images, were entrenched with an eclectic range of influences...from Baroque, Gothic, 90s Grunge and 80s Rock, topped with an immortal Edward Scissorhands vulnerability. Just perfect! 

These are some of the items from the New Collection:

Such an amazing collection right? What I mostly love from the above preview images are the black Silhouette rings, the 3 gold knuckle rings, the gold Baroque collar tips, and the silver collar chain. I would love it if I can manage to add all these beauties to my jewellery collection!

Some other items from the New Collection can be seen in these Lookbook images, which project dramatic and dark romance inspired glamour. These images are flawless. I love everything about them...pale skin, ox blood lipstick, statement jewellery, peplum belt...everything!

This New Collection is perfect for that customer who wants something extra special to pair with the LBD (Little Black Dress), especially for the coming party season. I know this is an image heavy post, but I couldn't not share with you all these amazing pieces. So, don't forget to check out Regal Rose's New Collection out tomorrow and treat yourself to some unique and on trend jewellery! I will surely be treating myself :)  

Regal Rose ship worldwide, and they are currently offering FREE UK delivery on all orders over £35 by using the code 'FREEPOST'.
