MMSFW Roundup

Fashion week was a blast, each year it just keeps getting bigger and better, so I thought I'd share a few ideas as to what I'll be adding to my wardrobe this spring/summer.

- Lots of white: think floaty, sheer tops and dresses over bikinis (No shorts!)
- Silver & pewter. Sexy/sweet
- BIG heels. Chunky platforms, thick leather straps, stilleto heels, buckle details. Unleash your inner stripper
- Stirrup pants. Hell yes.
- Cropped bomber jacket. Grab one in a lighter fabric.
- Pouffy short shorts. It's all in the detailing now!
- Tunic dress: short, loose and perfect paired with tough heels.
- Maxi dress in a crisp resort print

Balance tough with femme and get the tight bottom/loose top silhouette down and you'll be right.

Label: HOODA

Personally, I think Aussie streetwear labels have taken a dive in terms of originality and quality (blame the Travisty loving bogans for that) and that's probably why I've taken such a shine to Hooda's gear.

Made by someone's mum, right here in oz, each Hooda hoodie is made to your color/print specs, and there's also a limited run line of printed ones with only a handful in each print made. My horsey print one arrived last week, and it pretty much kicks arse. Take that, Travisty.

So, I'm adding this new section cause it's always interesting to see what other people are wearing right now, and I'm looking for a way to justify spending half my income on clothes.

Here goes!

TREND: White-Hot

If the first runway show of MMSFW 2007 taught me anything, it's that white will be massive this summer. White Suede & Bettina Liano showed us how it's done, keeping it loose and fluid for a sweet, girly feel.

The soft ruffled singlet top and halter dress from White Suede were a particular favourite of mine, epitomising easy breezy summer glamour.
