So, what did I spend my hard earned dollars on this month? Surprisingly, not a lot, nothing in the way of clothing - not sure what's going on there, but my bank account balance sure is happy.
I had my first online shopping experience with Urban Outfitters this month - and I loved it. I'm going to do a series of posts dedicated to online shopping, but for now, I'll just say my experience was positive. I know we're headed into summer here in Australia, but these boots were only US$29.99. Come on, that's a steal! I've never really been a fan of any type of wedges before, let alone wedge booties, but I've recently been inspired by Dajana at leflassh.com. Girlie has some great shoes and a fun style. I especially love her leopard print booties. ![]() I also purchased some photo frames for my home office and a tortoise-shell watch. The watch hasn't arrived yet (backordered, but should be here mid-November) and I haven't finished mounting the frames yet, so I won't include them in this post. I got these Mooloola ballet flats as work shoes from City Beach. When I first started my job, I was incredibly enthusiastic and wore sky-scraper heels everyday. That was four years ago (to the day actually) and I have since realised that flats are definitely the way to go. What was I thinking? (actually , pretty sure it was something along the lines of "Yeah, check out my amazing 19 year old legs.") ![]() My polishes of the month. L-R: Angora Cardi, Merino Cool, Sew Psyched, Lapis of Luxury and Pink Ribbon. Obviously all Essie and a Butter London. The BL was a freebie with the Harper's Bazaar that I got at the beginning of the month, but I haven't gotten around to wearing it yet. I love all four of the others, though. I've finally had good Essie experiences. I'll do some swatching in the coming month - I think my favourite must be Merino Cool. So yeah, like I said, not a lot of purchases this month. I do have my eye on a few different pieces and products that I plan on getting in the coming weeks, so maybe next months haul will be slightly more interesting. ![]() ![]() Labels: Essie, Hauls, Nail Polish Leave A Comment13 October 2010, 2:55 AM
Oh Lauren, how I heart thee. ...especially your amazing hair. Leave A Comment 10 October 2010, 5:35 PM
Most people know Vanessa Hudgens from either High School Musical or because of those scandalous naked pictures. I like to disregard both these horrors of current pop culture and focus on her wardrobe. I don't know of any girls who rock both red-carpet glam and edgy boho casual quite like Vanessa.
Off Duty
Off duty, Vanessa seems to favour denim, rock'n'roll t-shirts, grandpa-cardis, over-sized handbags, scarves, gladiator sandals and boots of all description, usually sticking to a fairly neutral colour palette of black, white, grey and tan.
Love the cuffing on these three-quarter length cargo-style pants. Worn with heeled clogs, they elongate the leg, but the neutral colours keep the look casual.
Gorgeous autumn look, the Mui Mui bag and flesh-tone ballet flats are paired together to keep the look for being too grungy. The chunky knit cardi is just the right length to look unassumingly thrown on.
Love the purple scarf, gladiators and Balenciaga.
Probably my favourite casual look - love the belted Wildfox jeans and sheer singlet. The black cardi keeps the look demure.
On Duty On the red carpet, Vanessa likes to show off her best assets: her amazing legs and stunning hair. Usually opting for a short dress and heels, she chooses bright colours that flatter her skin tone.
Love the shape of this gorgeous aqua dress. Just short enough to show off those fab legs, but not so short that her modesty is at risk of being splashed across the internet...oh wait...
Stunning colour, different from most dresses you'd see on the red carpet. Age appropriate and elegant, that's what we like. Also, proof that us shorties can wear maxi-dresses.
Another stunner! Love the scalloped detail on the bust. Minimal accessories let the dress speak for itself.
A glam, grown up choice for Vanessa. Love the sheer overlay and Grecian-style draping.
What do you think of Vanessa on and off duty style? Can you get past the HSM bubblegum, child-star status and take her seriously as someone trying to develop their adult style chops? Labels: Best Of: Leave A CommentNewer Posts Older Posts |
