I love Jessie’s textured Scanlan and Theordore dress, the dark detailing is so perfect for winter. I’m all about textures when it comes to blacks and charcoals, it’s the best way to keep things interesting while still being completely minimal. I have to say, I’m quite partial to Scanlan’s designs; they have a refined aesthetic that I really love. They are the kind of clothes that instantly make you feel grown up – like a lady if you will.

How amazing is Jessie’s thin studded belt? It cinches her in at the waist perfectly, and the gunmetal hardware gives it such a clean, modern look. Belts have taken a backseat to pretty much every other accessory lately (hats, bracelets, you name it) but there’s no doubt they have the power to transform an outfit. And this Scanlan belt is the ultimate understated accessory!

Lyla

I caught Lyla on her way home from work, moments before the late afternoon downpour which everyone in Sydney has come to expect. In fact, I’m about to head out to a friends place (who has the most incredible rooftop with picture perfect views over the harbour) and the sky looks like it’s ready to break any second, so here’s hoping it doesn’t!

Anyway, Lyla works for Aesop which is possibly one of the most amazing beauty brands around. Their products, philosophy and packaging are all super beautiful, which is why I love purchasing the range so much (as you can see here). If you’re looking for an amazing hair product, Lyla uses the Aesop Rose Hair Mask. Because you have to admit, her curls really quite beautiful!

Clare

I love this shot of Clare, it’s always a happy surprise when I manage to capture a moment of raw emotion amongst all of the more composed shots! I don’t know how she does it, but Clare’s hair is always so immaculate. As a blonde I always find my hair is incredibly fly-away and out of control, so the fact her platinum locks stay in place seems like a miracle to me. You can only see a hint of it under her blazer, but I love her blue Gary Bigeni dress, which is from the same collection as my red one and such a rare colour. It’s the perfect match with her stallion blazer; such an unexpected, yet striking combination!

Happy Lovers Day

By Jessie in Australia, Details, My place, Shopping 4 Comments

For all the lovers out there. I’m not so keen on the sappy, commercial idea behind Valentines Day, but I do think it’s nice to reflect on how special love is every now and then. And whether you have a significant other or you’re an independent soul, there’s no harm indulging in a bit of lingerie. This delicate Pleasure State bra is the perfect antidote for everyday life; uncomplicated and a little bit sexy. Happy Valentines!

These shots are from a test I did with Monika Radulovic (Vivien’s) late last year. I don’t spend much time in the studio, but it’s nice to mix it up every now and then. There’s no doubt I prefer the organic quality of natural light, but I’m learning to love the controlled environment the studio offers. I think because I have no formal training (read: no training) it’s easier for me to gallivant around the streets than deal with the more technical side of things. Either way, I’m pretty pleased with how these shots turned out. Largely thanks to the fact that Monika is such a natural beauty and the clothes pretty much speak for themselves. Boyish tees and sexy lingerie; so good.

Clare

I love the disheveled look of these white Isabel Marant jeans. When I first saw them in store last year I wasn’t sure how they would look on, but they are actually pretty amazing! The frayed detail is quite subtle, and when styled in the way Clare has, they’re more casual than anything else. I also love the contrast created by her Amy Kaehne shirt; it pretty much sums up the exact colour combination I want to be wearing this winter. Plenty of fresh whites and rich burgundy hues!
