With my venture to the land down under happening later today (weather depending, thanks Chicago) this seemed like the perfect opportunity to gush over some Australian labels you need to know. Not only are these brands creating cool clothes, but they’re actually making things that are reasonably priced. Even better…you don’t necessarily need to travel over 9,000 miles to get them.
Pilotto For The Win
This isn’t Peter Pilotto’s first rodeo on CCF. He happens to be one of my favorite British fashion designers, plus his designs have been seen quite a few times in my WWW posts. But something pretty major happened for the duo behind those killer prints (yes there is a second half to Peter Pilotto — Christopher de Vos). Care to find out what that something is?
The Bag Gap
Have you ever experienced frustration with handbag shopping? As in you find something under $100 but it falls apart almost instantly and everything else is $1,500+? It seems there’s not much of a “middle class” (or shall we say middle clasp? BOOM!) in the world of handbags, but there is if you really look for it.
Affordable designer handbags do exist. Don’t believe me?
Edie Parker
Plain and simple, today’s post was inspired by Anna Gunn’s clutch from the SAG Awards over the weekend (AKA the best accessory to ever hit the red carpet). And I wasn’t the least bit surprised when I found out who the designer was.
Not Your Average Accessories
When you think of accessories, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Bags? Shoes? Jewelry? Hats? Pretty standard stuff. Accessories are an important part of any outfit because it’s what really brings the look together. But if you really want to take things to the next level, an unconventional accessory should be on your radar.
Margiela jeweled face mask, anyone?
