MARY & ME – AUTUMN 15 EDIT

Posted on by Emma Smith

 

 

 

 

 

Asher’s recent buying trip to Sydney was the perfect excuse to meet up with our Social Media Assistant Nat for a photo shoot featuring a selection of our favourite Autumn pieces. The girls met by the beach in search of the perfect sandy backdrop. The dark clouds, sand, fashion and of course our gorgeous Ash proved to be the perfect combination!

Denim, leopard and monochrome are key looks this Autumn. Each are classic trends that will take you well into Winter and beyond.

KRYSTLE KNIGHT – WONDERLAND

Posted on by Emma Smith

With the arrival of Krystle Knight’s latest collection Wonderland we thought it fitting to look into the healing power and meaning of the stunning clear quartz used throughout the collection.

Clear quartz, the master healer, works on all areas of the mind and body, awakening, amplifying and transmitting energy while clarifying thought processes. Directing energies with more intensity, it is an excellent stone for meditation and a powerful healing tool for any condition. Clear quartz connects to the higher self, removes negativity and allows access to your spirit guides.

THE UPDO

Posted on by Emma Smith

From New York to London to Milan we’ve noticed a trend on the runway. Twisted knots, messy buns and loose ponytails are having a moment. The best part is these updo’s are practical and easy to achieve. Our favourite look is from Diane Von Furstenberg’s Autumn Winter 15 Collection. A twisted knot pinned at the nape of the neck balanced with groomed brows and a diffused smokey eye. Perfect for any occasion!

JUST WHITE

Posted on by Emma Smith

The all white trend is as strong as ever and now is the perfect time to give it a go. The trick? Mix up your textures and don’t try too hard to match your whites. We love the C&M by Camilla and Marc ‘Savannah Sweater’ teamed with our MLM ‘Bonded Leather Shorts’, the textured mesh fabric & buttery soft leather are a match made in heaven!

STAFF PROFILE – ASHER

Posted on by Emma Smith

Your favourite wardrobe items are

Shorts and skirts. I like to wear a mini skirt with flats and a midi skirt with heels. I also love skorts.

Describe your perfect day off

Doing some kind of crazy DIY project that I have convinced myself will turn out looking just like it did when I saw it in that expensive interior store.

Name your most treasured piece of jewellery

An amazing hand made silver ring with a massive moonstone in the centre that I purchased in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It reminds me of summer and travel

Share with us your beauty routine

I always use an instant bronzer (liquid or powder) and a well filled and shaped eyebrow is a must. I focus on a clean diet and regularly practice coconut pulling, you swish coconut oil in your mouth for twenty minutes of a morning, it’s great for your skin and whitens your teeth.

Australian Designers you love most

Maurie and Eve are an absolute favourite! I love C&M by Camilla and Marc because it suits my body shape. I also love Dion Lee. It’s like architecture on the body, well constructed and modern.

In 2015 I want to

Do a yoga class! I’ve been saying that for the past six years!!

Asher wears Third Form ‘Undercurrent Dress’. You can find it here.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK – ON THE STREETS

Posted on by Emma Smith

New York Fashion Week is now in its fifth day running and it’s the awesome street style that has caught our attention. Cheeky totes, fringing, chunky knits and camel hued coats are just a few of the trends we’re loving. It may not be winter for another four months here in Australia but we’re already planning our outfits based on these looks.
