Sienna Miller Anarchy Multi Buckle Wedges

As strange as it may sound, there are particular items of clothing or accessories that I have to admit I’ve experienced ‘love at first sight’ with.

You know that feeling you get in the first second of glimpsing said item and you suddenly know you have to have it? You know you won’t stop obsessing about it until you have one of your own?

My most recent experience was glimpsing this photo of Sienna Miller in her cream leather buckled wedges. I knew straight away that these would be #1 on my summer wardrobe wish list... Sienna's are the Anarchy Multi Buckle Wedges from Topshop, however I'm doing my research to find out if there are other similar styles around as US$160 is a bit above my current budget... I'll keep you updated!

Printed slouch pants...

I bought animal print harem pants today.

Before you think, has she lost her marbles, there was a long process leading up to this purchase. It all began with Sienna Miller in around July 2009. She was photographed in an animal print 'peg' style cut. It was then that my curiosity was
piqued. 

As I started to spot similar pants being featured on international street style blogs and in various magazines, the style became part of that shopping wish list that sits
inconspicuously in the back of my mind. My mind also has a sub-conscious radar that keeps a subtle eye out when shopping and then one day will let off an alert to the sound of 'oh my god I've been wanting these for ages!" Then I have to make that crucial decision to buy or not to buy,  usually after what could have been quite a long wait, AND this seems to always happen when I have no money.

When I first saw this pair it was instant excitement, then came the re-assessing. 'Do I REALLY need them, will I REALLY wear them, if I don't get them I'll be thinking about them constantly, and when I finally go back they'll be all sold out". I actually have this argument with myself when shopping ALL the time.

Finally I made the decision to buy them and there is no shopping remorse at all. I know a purchase from Sportsgirl isn't a huge financial investment but hey, times are tough right now and when the budget is tight, you have to shop wisely.

My shopping justification for my
animal print harem pants are: They'll look great through winter with a denim jacket and ankle boots (they're light weight but I can just wear tights under them) and then they'll merge straight into summer with a singlet and strappy sandals. That's at least 2 season's wear already!
The initial inspiration...

I love how the legs taper right in at the bottom.

Black & White Stripes - Are we seeing a trend here?

Celebrities around the globe are embracing bold black & white stripes right now. I'm loving Ashley Olsen's casual combo of a striped oversized top, black leggings & black boots, an easy weekend outfit I'll definitely be trying to replicate for myself....

A new trend emerging... Glamour Magazine, London Celebs (usually leading the way in the fashion stakes) & Sienna Miller.

Swaptilyoudrop - Fashion for a good cause!

Have you ever had a friend wear some unique and quirky clothing item that your instantly in love with and then when questioning where they got it from they casually reply ‘oh the markets’, ‘overseas’, or now the latest way to discover that special treasure – ‘the clothing swap party’. I have particular friends (my sister is one) who ALWAYS seem to come across these treasures, and I feel like I’m never in the right place at the right time to discover them myself.

I have good news though! If you live in Sydney or will be there this Sunday 28th of June, the clever girls from SwapTilYouDrop will be hosting a clothing swap party in Surry Hills. The event supports the Oaktree Foundation & will be donating funds to support Timor-Leste's Youth Livelihoods Program. I say don't waste an opportunity to indulge in a day of fashion while at the same time supporting a great cause – no shopping guilt there!!!!

Celebs like Sienna Miller, Kate Moss & Rachel Bilson dress in that quirky, eclectic style that looks put together with a mix of market finds & designer pieces always ending up with total outfit perfection.

SwapTilYouDrop Clothing Swap Party.
Date: 28the June 2009
Check-In: 10-11am
Cost: $15
Where: 589 Crown Street, Surry Hills

Shoe Trend: Sienna Miller & Agness Deyn stepping out in their Brogues..

I’m slowly but surely starting to really like this trend. I’m pretty sure it’s one that won’t be kind on my 5ft nothing body however the more I see the more I like.

It’s one of those fashion trends that creeps in slowly and then suddenly hits big time, now making appearances on the likes of style queens Sienna Miller and Agness Deyn, plus on the feet of many stylish fashionistas on Lookbook.nu. Combining your brogues with the right outfit will create an edgy look and is a great alternative to other comfy flat winter shoes.

I’ll be featuring more ‘Brogues’ and where you can purchase them in the next Issue of Mylookbook... stay tuned... Online July 1st...
