TBB: Cheap Thrills and Big Ticket Darlings #5!

 

 

 

Up now over at The Budget Babe-- the newest installment of my smart spending column!

This week I chatted with Shauna of Penny Chic, so head on over and check it out!

Colour Crush : Ice Blue

As a dedicated monochromist, this is a huge moment for me.

You guys... I have a new favorite colour.

Pale, ice-white blue is all over the SS14 runways, and I cant get enough. A good number of my favorite looks that I pinned to my London Fashion Week board were ice blue, and I just can't get over how gorgeous it is.

And as if I needed to fall even harder, Gemma Arterton was in the October issue of InStyle US in a gorgeously fuzzy Acne sweater, and some snaps of her outside of Holly Fulton's show last September have had me secretly craving a pair of ice blue shorts for months.

So here are a few of my runway and Gemma inspirations, plus a little collection of some ice blue beauties that have caught my eye.

Serious damage to my wallet may or may not be on the horizon.

(And by "may" or "may not" I mean undoubtedly)

Topshop Jumper / Zara Clutch / Vintage Clutch / Topshop Blazer / Zara Flats /
Opening Ceremony Sweatshirt / French Connection Dress / Zara Skirt /
Swedish Hasbeens Sandals / Topshop Tank / RGB Nail Polish in Pool / Zara Bag

What colours have you been loving lately? Share! ... And if you have any other gorgeously ice blue-coloured finds, don't hesitate to share them here ;)

TBB: Cheap Thrills and Big Ticket Darlings #4!

Up now over at The Budget Babe-- the fourth installment of my new column! 

This week I chatted with Lauren of The Pear Shape, so head on over and check it out!

LFW SS14 - Temperley London

It's no wonder a Queen-to-Be is a fan of Temperley London. Her designs encapsulate the modern princess-- a true lady of style, grace, and some damn fabulous billowy skirts.

I mean, the SS14 collection was just beaauuuutiful to look at. I loved the entire thing so much that it was hard to narrow my choices down to just a few. I expect we'll be seeing a lot of these gowns come awards season, and I can't wait to see who wears what!

And an added SS14 show tidbit? Three guesses who did makeup.

Yes, you're correct. Lisa Freaking Eldridge.

If that's not the recipe for a perfect show, I don't know what is.

Breathe, ladies.

LFW SS14 - Erdem

I fell for Erdem after seeing their gorgeously rich floral prints from the Resort 2013 collection. Gemma Arterton (the love of my life, as you should know by now) wore a gooooooorgeous Erdem gown to the Sydney premiere of Hansel and Gretl: Witch Hunters and I still can't get it out of my mind.

I have to admit I was a teeny tiny bit disappointed with this most recent collection. Just a tiny bit. In day-to-day life I am a fiercely dedicated monochrome girl, but this was kind of a black and white overload for me. But still, just about every piece makes me sigh-- so feminine, so pretty, so ethereal.

What did you think of the Erdem SS14 show? Did you miss color too?

LFW SS14 - Burberry Prorsum

Every. Damn. Year. Christopher Bailey you lovely, lovely, genius of a man.

I mean, the show speaks for itself. Burberry has turned out some SERIOUSLY incredible collections for the last few seasons, but this has to be my favorite. No competition. I can't even handle how good this is.

Just give me everything. Please. I dont want it-- I need it. IV of Bailey, stat.

LFW SS14 - Antonio Berardi

I mean, how stunning is this collection?!

I think Antonio Berardi might have created one of my most favorite collections of the entire SS14 season. Every single piece is just gorgeous, and the incredible workmanship is evident in every seam and every embellishment.

Never in my life will I have enough money-- or a proper occasion, for that matter-- to wear a Berardi number, but god... they're just so incredible to look at!

I mean... guh. I die. Such a genius.

xoxo, Molly
