Your Inner Animal...

Animal print is going to be HUGE this Autumn/Winter 2012 - shoes, accessories, clothing, you name it - the zebra, leopard, snake print are a must!

I am not usually one who would wear an all over animal print but I absolutely adore this leopard mid length wrap dress by Indigo which is currently on sale at Velvet Fox for $129.50.  Wrap dresses are extremely flattering to all body types and this particular number would look HOT with knee high boots, whether you choose black or brown, leather or suede.  Alternatively, wear with your favourite ballet flat for a casual ensemble to do the school drop off and pick up. Or team with a killer heel for the office and Friday night drinks! 

Add this fabulous House of Harlow 1960 Sun Cocktail Ring in smoke, also on sale at Velvet Fox for $60, to make a fashion statement!  I already have this gorgeous ring in my collection and it is to die-for!

While you're surfing the Velvet Fox site, check out a few other items like the Fluxus Roman Dress in a zebra print (only extra small available) on sale for $64.50 and the One Teaspoon Hidden Fortune Romper in black and dark pink leopard print (only size 8 available) on sale for $75.  Only 1 left of each, so if you love it, grab it.  They are both HOT!

But another item that I'm completely in love with is the One Teapsoon Surrender Leopard Kimono, pictured left, on sale at Velvet Fox for $125.  There is only a size 14 available and unfortunately not my size :(.  The long kimono is so on trend that if this is your size, get on it!  An AH-MAY-ZING piece that will add the WOW to any basic outfit.  Love love LOVE!

So get into Velvet Fox to channel your inner animal... you may find a few more things while you're there that tickle your fancy too.  xx



Raine & Humble

Ohhhhh it has been awhile since I have blogged and for the longest time I have been meaning to write about Raine & Humble - stockists of beautiful interior homewares and furnishings.

"Raine & Humble brings your home a blend of classical antiquity and innovative modernity.   The dynamic and continually evolving Raine and Humble collections sets current fashions while maintaining timeless style.  Raine & Humble products are designed to be aesthetically pleasing, functional and unique.  Their décor and furnishings incorporate whimsical patterns, intertwined with classic European style."

And the best bit... you won't max out your credit card when you visit the store!  Located in Hall Street, Moonee Ponds and also at the South Melbourne Market, Raine & Humble offers gorgeous trinkets, accessories, clothing and well-priced furniture - from fidge magnets to covered bedheads, from soaps to rattan furniture, from cushions to wall hangings.  I have recently purchased a new kitchen apron (yes, I've joined the Stepford Wives club!), and matching peg bag, ironing board cover and large door stop for my laundry.  Adding a touch of class, cuteness and femininity to a otherwise forgotten room (because let's face it - we all try to forget about the washing piling up in the laundry!).

At Christmas time, I also purchased 2 small glass cake stands and beautifully designed paper cupcake trays to make gifts for my son's kindergarten teachers.  Simple and elegant.

With such an array of goodies in their shops, there is no doubt that you will come out with something.  The only question will be how big or small your item will be!  Raine & Humble is very much worth a peak and I can't wait to have another look as I always discover something new!

LOVE xx
