I didn't get to post again before the year was up, go figure. Anyhow, I thought I'd start the year off with some sparkly, shiny and fun jewellery inspiration from the ready-to-wear Ralph Lauren Spring 2015 collection. I don't know how well this sort of large, rainbow-coloured rhinestone costume jewellery would relate in real life tho. Do you think it's too intense?

I think this is definitely one of those collections where everything is going to look a lot better when you see it up close or once you're feeling and appreciating the different textures and fabrics. I love the random but not-so-random mix of hook belts, stripes and tidal ruffles...plus the mermaid dresses are sooooo dreamy.

Hello from Australia. I snagged these Oliver Peoples aviators at the duty-free shops on my way here, finally! I bought these after a three year wild goose chase for this particular model. It's apparently very elusive in Oz. Anyhow, I'm so happy that I got them! xx

This is really good news for the RL obsessives out there. Designer Ralph Lauren showed his new POLO line before his ready-to-wear collection in New York. Overall, it looked very casual and easy-spirited but still refined in the Lauren way. I loved it.

Supposedly this collection was inspired by the meeting of "sci-fi and fantasy" and unfortunately (for me) I don't see it very well....however, what I do like about the collection are the rich hues and metallic sheens. Perfect pieces for mixing and matching in a wearable wardrobe.

These are my favourite looks from Costello Tagliapietra.
