Leopard Print Love

These Riley III Leopard print  heels are KILLER! They were my early birthday present to me, from me. 

So thankful that I got my hands on these babies. As soon as I laid eyes on them - it was love at first sight. 

But ... The union between 'shoe & Jess' was not smooth sailing. I had a semi heart attack when I came to the realisation that the first batch and second pre-order was completely sold out....EVERYWHERE. 

I searched every stockist on the planet and was so relieved to find Designer Forum http://www.designerforum.com.au/ had a size 37 with my name all over it. 

I have never checked out of a site faster than I did that day - 30 seconds flat. 

The Riley's are 9.5* cm heel & are leather upper/lining. 

I would suggest going down a size in these. I am normally a size AU 7 which converts to a European 38. However, I went a size 37 because I had read reviews that they are on the larger side. 

They go perfectly when adding a little colour to an all black outfit or I have even clashed patterns together to form my look. 

*Drool*

I'm not going to lie...I'm pretty sure I kissed each shoe when they got delivered to my doorstep.

'Tis The Season To Be Jolly...

I love December – the sun comes out (for us Aussies), the Christmas tree goes up, I blow out candles for my birthday & we count down for the New Year.

In the midst of event planning and Christmas shopping – of-course, I am brainstorming potential outfits to wear...duh!
I’m bringing out my floral prints, flowy maxi dresses and all white ensembles for the occasion.
Although black is so timeless & chic (I’m the first person to glorify #allblackerrythang). I’m trying my best to ditch the dark leather outfits (temporarily) because no-one wants to celebrate the festive season with the Grinch...

It is the perfect combination of floral and a light-weight playsuit.

SPORTS LUXE

I felt as though it was a necessity to touch on this subject because I am in love with the Sports Luxe look. 

Basically, it is a trend where SPORT meets LUXURY. 

And ladies...this is not an invitation to pull out your tattered gym gear - good presentation and personal hygiene is a must!!!!! 

To conquer this look, you must find a balance between the two. Dont be afraid to play with different textures.

LUXURY	SPORTS
Leather shorts	Runners
Leather pants	Jersey top & Nike free runs
Plain black strappy heels	Track pants

It's all about the tr[i]angl

First blog post - oh, pressure is on! 

Remember when we outgrew the triangle bikini and it was all about the strapless bandeau? Well, brace yourselves - we are going back in time. Triangle’s have never been so on trend, not to mention they give great boobage support! My personal favourite is ‘TRAINGL’(@triangl_swimwear) ..a new neoprene swimwear range that has absolutely perfected the bikini in metallic, leather-look & the brightest of colours.
