JEREMY SCOTT : FALL 2012 COLLECTION

I always look forward to seeing Jeremy Scott's collection because he is known for being bold use of colour and designs. He is definitely one of my favourite designers because of this. His inspirations for this particular collection were Lisa Frank, who is known for creating stickers and stationary items with swirls, rainbows, hearts, stars, unicorns and anything cute. Another one of his inspirations is Bart Simpson and just 90s pop culture in general. I personally love this collection and wouldn't mind wearing a Bart Simpson sweater or comic strip dress! oh, and I adore the blue lips too.

What are your opinions on this collection?

Baby, You're All That I Want...

I thought i'd share a list of 10 items that I've either recently found, or have been wanting for a while.

1. Round Hologram Sunglasses

2. Underground Cheetah Print Suede Creepers

I've been loving any type of platform shoes, whether it be sandals or sneakers. They ran out of my size for this particular style, so I'm just waiting until they re-stock then I can get my hands on these!

2. 'HAVE A NICE DAY' Leather Bag

This 'shopping bag' would be a fun piece to have in my opinion. It also comes in black, which I love. The only down side is that the writing is also black, making it difficult to make out the words..

3. UNIF Hellbound Platforms!

As soon as I saw these platforms, I instantly wanted them! They have a chunky 6" heel and a 3" platform and come with off white, black and ombre rainbow laces.

4. LUSH 'It Started With A Kiss' Lip Tint

I've been addicted to LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics recently and have purchased their hair, skin and lip products. I can never just walk past a LUSH store. without actually going inside - it smells amazing in there! Lip tints are a great alternative to wearing lipstick to add colour to your lips. I think i'll be trying this one out very soon.

5. Fashionology Handmade Bangles & Earrings

6. Kevin Murphy Color Bug Hair Shadow

This allows you to have coloured hair without the hair dye! You can put on as much of the hair shadow on as you want to have a strong vibrant colour, or use a smaller amount to achieve pastel shades. This is great for people that only want a temporary change or are afraid of permanently colouring their hair. I wish they came in more colours, but if I do come across these, i'd go straight for the purple.

7. Faux Fur Coat -

It's only summer time here in Australia, but I've been searching for the perfect leopard print faux fur coat for winter! I did buy a vintage grey faux fur jacket from a market stall at the beginning of last year, but I feel as if the shape of it is somewhat distorted..

8. Supreme Velvet Polkadot Cap

I'm not one of those that would usually wear a cap, but if I got one of these, I'd wear it as much as possible since I have a thing for anything velvet. The only thing that i'd have trouble with, is choosing which colour to buy!
