It's pretty clear that caps, whether they be leather or plain sport ones, are a huge HIT in the ballpark this season. This works out well for us in Australia considering its summertime and the weather is only going to get more intense from here on out. For some awesome leather caps (at cheap prices- of course) we advise you to pop into your local BARDOT store.

Oscars, I think my invite got lost in the mail

Hola signoritas, signores and mum

So today I woke up and had some bread (and butter as a condiment if your curious) and I thought 'what is the meaning of life' but then I shifted my attention towards the TV set and realized something more important than my own life... The lives of the Rich and Famous AKA the Oscars.

I'm sure we've all heard about the biggest blunders of the night aka ma main gurl J.Lawrence graciously face-planting to the harsh satirized attack towards 10 year old Quvenzhané Wallis (And YES I did have to Google 'Name of girl who holds dog purse to Oscars') . However when I began to watch my dose of the Oscar's on E!, I was asked by the ever so kind host, 'Catherine what's YOUR favorite outfit of the night' , as I looked out the window into the moonlight crying silently it got me thinking (which doesn't occur to often).. what was my stand-out outfit of the night?

 And the winner for Best use of Sequins goes to these fine ladies:

Whereas Plain as a biscuit but classy as wine go to ma gurls shown below:

And we ask you other than the obvious up roar in sequins seen this season what's YOUR favorite look from the Oscars? 

Welcome to Illyria

Take a look below. Soak it in. Now look back here because I have shit to say. This wonderfully candid, joyful, put-on-facebook-without-permission photograph was resurrected from past FB albums a few days ago and has set us in quite a nostalgic mood. That photo is Catherine on top of the Rockefeller building in ye olde NYC, a place we have both been and aim to go back to one day, no matter what the police say!

Now as you are asking what the point of this post is, we are also asking ourselves what the point of this blog in its entirety is. Man Repeller, Chiara Ferragni, Hanneli Mustaparta... they must have started somewhere, right? Maybe not from quite the depths of nowhere-dom as much as us but quite frankly, their success is the goal. 

While these seasoned internet trekkers have each their own personal sartorial values and missions, we're still figuring ours out. 

So come along, enjoy the ride, look at some clothes, discover some stuff, buy some stuff, ask some questions, -heck- be INSPIRED, and most of all, read our blog.

Adios bitches.

The 8th Plaid

Want to know what's cool? Sure some would say ice cold water? But want to know what's cooler,well dare we say it, Girl-Hunting itself! Just Kidding, well to be honest not really we are pretty damn cool. Enough with the Jokes, the answer to what is cool is actually us.

Someone call the police as were tickling your funny bone.. AGAIN! Some say we should become comedians but we all know that isn't fair on the business as the second we start joking around on stage all other comedians will become broke, hell they'll probably spend their last dollars on coming to see our shows!.. Crickets and Tumbleweed.. Moving on then.

But back to business, because we have assembled here today to discuss the old yet appealing Plaid pattern. So I'm browsing the web having a gay ol' time when all of a sudden I stumble over this postcard,

And that's when I realized FARAH knew what they were doing from the beginning and as I think about it further I have an inkling that Ton Ton (appointed name to boy model) was in on the plan too.. they just knew that plaid would indubitably become one future generation’s secret to good fortune... just look at that smug little smile...humph. 

Plaid has been around for generations but if your not comfortable with the vest on pants look (-no disrespect to Ton Ton, gotta love his enthusiasm) follow my lead, which I have followed from the little voice in my head.

OVER SIZED Men Short Sleeved Plaid Print Shirts, or as we call them by the popular acronym, OMSSPPS are back!

It's revolutionary, it goes with everything from skinny to bell-bottom jeans, skirts, denim pants and for the daring silk shorts :O please don't tell mother we said that!

And that's not all folks, because of the short sleeves it's safe to say that this little ensemble can be paired with blazers, jackets basically all outwear... SAY WHAT!

I just said it, jeese who is this chick? ^

This particular shirt is by Jerseys, however plaid t-shirts can basically be found in any GOOD department stores (yeah the 'GOOD' is in capital to make all you department stores without plaid guilty!)

Comment below on how you would dress this lil plaid piece.

C'mon, do Ton Ton proud and you yourself might be reaching third base before you know it..... If at a lesbian bar.

The female tuxedo- Man Repelling or Subtly Sexy?
Answer: Man Repelling, and to that we say Hell Yes, 'get in the car losers were going shopping'.

Since Yves Saint Laurent created his 'Le Smoking' women's tuxedo back in 1966, the piece has no doubt morphed into one of the single most transformative pieces of women's wear and for A/W12, it made a serious comeback. 

"Throughout the shows in February there was a lot of talk about the clothes being like an armour, preparing women for the tough world out there right now and it's true."- At HQ (Our bedrooms) we discussed that the real reason for female tuxedos comeback relies on the fact that they look awesome and it's about time that us women get the chance to say 'Get in my pants'.







Lesson 101 on Female Suits. Gilded, structured or bed-sexy, the choices are at your chewed little fingertips.

What's more, when it's advocated by none other than our eternal girl crush, who could say no? No ruffles or ever-shortening hemlines for Hailee, just black silk with a perfect smattering of turquoise, sequins and red lips. And we think she pulled her look off better than anyone that night.

So, the closing question, does suiting with style give ladies a chance to express a whole new attitude of fashion through the precision of a male-originated get up? We say someone get RiRi because we drink to that, bitches. But, you decide squirts, we can't tell ya what to do.

In Which We Delve Into The Depths Of The Mind Of The Designer

Oh a few days ago we came across a most wonderful thing: Moda Operandi, a virtual trunk show where you can drool and drab over the most wonderful designers and their creations, being proffered to those with enough dough to be one of the first in the world lay your hands on some couture treasures. Currently, Nicholas Kirkwood is one of the aforementioned featured designers.

But this is where shit gets metaphorical: we have used our fashionable intuition -fashuition, if you will- to precisely determine and reveal the above shoes inspirational medium:

Ta Da!! 

How about you? Ever feel like something couture is just a creative reproduction of the simplest and most street-standard inspiration? And doesn't that just make it even dreamier...

We will find you Nicholas Kirkwood, and we will kill you buy your shoes.

AGH SO LATE BUT DESERVES A POST ANYWAY

It comes once a year, some we say it's better than Christmas (Forgive me Santa).

Yes you are correct in thinking we are talking about THE Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival, additionally if you were thinking about food festivals you are also correct. We attended the swimwear show, not just to get our self-esteem trashed but also because they were showcasing our absolute favorite brand of the moment: Camilla!

 Schnappy snap taken by Greer after we were moved to the front row! You can try and figure this out, hair feather included, but we bloody love it (that's the magic of Camilla folks).

Although we didn't hit up any other shows (we received many a distraught hand-written letter from designers pleading us to explain why we didn't attend their show). Brisbane, in general, got pretty into it for a non-fashiony society , so it was easy to follow up on some of the v. nice trends they were proffering our stylish palates and purses with.

A sassy Molly & Polly model smiling at me as I whipped out my iPhone, Instagram at the ready.

Wrist action left, right and centre. It's like they gave us fans especially because they knew we'd have such great arm parties going on that day.

Yep. So that was pretty much our day. 
Or was it...

CATHERINE GOT SNAPPED FOR A STREET STYLE COMP 
Excuse us for getting excited over that all you trendy, established mother-bloggers, but that was an exciting occasion in our books. Here's the pic: 

She came a very close second (suspicious indian men seemed to like another girl more), so she was still given the hair appointment with the director at Fruition Hair. But boy would that $250 to spend at Queen's Plaza have been nice... 

Over and out, can't wait till next year!

Ring City Bitch, Ring Ring City Bitch

"If You Liked it than you shoulda put a Ring on it"

- Famous Philosopher commonly known as Beyonce Of the Knowles
Catherine here, or even call me duchess Collins...Hm that has quite a ring to it don't you think? OK I'll stop with the puns now, but honestly tell me you didn't enjoy them a little. So we've noticed the trend of rings, whether they be plain ol' gold or bejeweled to the max some even... SKULLIFIED! The secret to good ring stacking is to make sure the rings all fit together someway or another, so try a main them (examples seen below).These styles have been seen on some of the biggest fashion icons as well as on the runways, yeah you heard me two places at once.. IT'S POSSIBLE!

Sabo Skirt - Iron Man Style

Stacked Rings of Assorted different metal
Colors seen on Blogger Man Repeller

DKNY 2012 Pastel Stacked Rings
-Yeah, They went there.

Alexander McQueen Stack O' Skulls

What's your style?  I (Catherine) would say Iron Man, whereas I (Greer) would decide upon Pastel.

Now, Let's see those bejeweled spirit fingers Ladies!

Catch you on the flipside mutha fu#@$er

ERMAHGERD JEHHLERS

Yeah yeah they exist again and Greer found the best website to get them, so you gotta TM me whenever someone compliments you wearing them (because buy them you will and wear them you will). They're Jellies! The sandals, not the desert or spread or lolly you yankee dweebs. 

And not to toot our own national horn or anything but, they're Australian, which means less shipping for us and more patriotism for bogans everywhere, which is what we will well be on our way to should we choose to sheath out toots is these fantastic plastics. 
If you're an expat reader you may need to hit up urban dictionary to understand that paragraph.
I don't know if it's because I (Catherine) can remember owning these long before Kindy even started, or because I (Greer) won't turn down wearable coloured plastic but this some shit we gotta own. 

Catch ya!

Best of Jeff

Science is a great chance to do some online shop/browsing, and we just started physics so look what happened! This is our pick of Jeffrey Campbell shoes we wish we had more than Greer wishes she had a puppy (Catherine already has a rat dog of her own).

From left to right each row, you've got Elizer, Audrey Two and Lift (yeah, figure these ones out). Then Suebee, Puffer and Cabo, and bringin up the rear is Soiree, Teramo and Strung. All photos come from solestruck, a genius, some may say.

If you do end up buying a pair, don't tell us, we'll cry. 

Hasta Luego minions, now comment or die!
