The Other Olsen

We've all heard of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen but have you heard of their sister Elizabeth? Taking after her older sisters, Elizabeth is a true fashionista. I absolutely love her dress she wore to the recent Cannes Film Festival (top picture). It's simple yet very elegant and the shoes suit it very well. I didn't think it was possible to wear your hair out with a high collared top until I saw this picture. I love it so much that I am contemplating stealing the idea from her for my formal. In the bottom picture, I love the hint of colour used in her skirt and necklace. The rest of the outfit is kept simple to make the colour stand out. She is definitely one to watch. Look Mary-Kate and Ashley, Elizabeth's taking over, and quickly.

Season Must Have

What do you think of my new jumpsuit? Well, I'm not going to lie it's definitely not something I would probably ever think of wearing and I may even think of adding it to my never ever EVER wear list but for today just play along... It's the new season must have. The silver stripes, seriously amazing and the company name on the back, to die for. Lucky it has elastic around the waist. Defines it a little better.
If you haven't already picked up, I am being sarcastic and possibly (most likely) going insane. To be honest, I don't even know if I should be wearing it as it came from a man who had nude Sundays...

Don't try this at home... The jumpsuit or the nude Sundays.

Weekly Wish List: All White

This had probably been my most wanted item. I love the simplicity of it yet it's still fashionable with the pleated skirt and come summer time all white will be pretty fashionable too. It's so great that you could dress it up with fancy pants shoes or wear it with your favorite flats for a more laid back look. I found it when flipping through one of my many magazines. It's by a brand called May and if you are willing to pay $179 for it, well lucky you and it's called Kershaw Dress. After the model I'm guessing. Unlike all my other wish list items, I really am hoping to get this one. Hopefully.  



Not to be worn, ever.

Besides leggings as pants, platform sneakers are something that should never be worn. EVER never never EVER. I hope you have realised this but just looking at the picture and are rolling your eyes at how obvious it is. But to some it isn't, clearly if they are still being made. Now I won't embarrass the brand that these shoes come from because I can't stop cringing at how bad they are and I'm sure soon enough they will catch up to the rest of us and cringe too. But what I will say is, don't buy a pair of platform sneakers ever even if they do make you taller. If you already have a pair, throw them out right now! Yes now, your excused. And while you're at it, grab your jeggings and throw them out too.

Sunday Brunch

Eryn Brinié top, h&m pants and belt, Jonak shoes.

I kind of used up my weekly wish list yesterday by saying I wanted a stripey patchwork bag. So instead I've decided to post some outfit photos from today's brunch. I love these pants, I wear them a lot! And I always team them with a belt. Because the rest of my outfit was a little simple I decided to wear a pair of flats in a different sort of unusual colour. I really like the style of my top. It follows the big shoulder trend with it's own twist. If I had one I would team this outfit with a cropped black pea coat. I guess that could be my item of want for the week...

Patchwork Stripes

I am a stripeaholic. Yes, a stripeaholic. I know it's not a real word but the only way to describe this band of people is that they are, stripeaholics. If you opened my cupboard nearly every second piece of clothing is stripy. Every time I go to the shops I hold up a stripey piece of clothing subconsciously saying how much I like it. Most of my outfits include stripes*. Yes, these are symptoms of a stripeaholic. I don't know what attracts me to it but I am guessing mainly because it reminds of France because they are associated with the French. So of course I am up to the idea of adding more to my wardrobe! This time though I am going for something a little different. Stripes in the form of patchwork. I don't think it would look so great as a top or something but I am loving the idea of patch work stripe clutches or even woven clutches for that matter.

I Spy, Something starting with K...

Floral prints didn't stick around for winter(who blames them)... Instead we got their lovely cousin, oriental style print. It's still floral but different. I love this print especially on a kimono. I know you think I have really lost the plot by now but kimonos are really cool! My favorite is one from Topshop and their teenage cancer trust campaign. So if you buy one of these you won't feel guilty because really it's for a good cause!


Topshop Sheer Floral Print Kimono



ASOS Fan Floral Print Kimono

I definitely prefer sheer kimonos for a more modern look as oppose to silk ones. If you get a sheer one you can also wear it over swimmers and you won't be worried about ruining the silk the whole time!

So what do you think? Will this floral cousin last long?
