Lady Gaga 'Fame' In Store Now

Lady Gaga's perfume, Fame, is in store at the Myer Centre Rundle Mall now. Despite Gaga's strict instructions not to release the product until the launch, which will be on Sept 17 in Adelaide, Myer have decided to sell the fragrance in store as of today. Apparently customer demand weighs out over the laws of Gaga. However, it appears Myer is selling it with a guilty conscience, as the perfume is being sold at the back of the store. Accompanied by one tiny A4 sign, only one small display cabinet shows off the black fragrance.


Georg Jensen to Lovisa Fusion Ring

Georg Jensen Fusion Rings are stunning little puzzle pieces. I've been subconsciously admiring them in the pages of Vogue for years.

Lovisa are now selling Fusion style rings with genuine Swarovski crystals.

A mark drown from $3,500 to $25. Worth it? I think so.

NYFW Marc by Marc Jacobs SS 2013 RTW

Marc by Marc Jacobs


I can see this girly, whimsical collection all over the likes of Selena Gomez, the Disney girls and Carly Rae Jepson.

Loving the high waisted bather bottoms, and the geometric midriff top. Absolutely no doubt that the graffiti sweater is going to be big.

Once again, lovely to see Adelaide girl, Jemma Baines, working it on the runway (first image).

NYFW Marc Jacobs SS 2013 RTW

Marc Jacobs


Mr Marc Jacobs' show had a mod, retro feel mixed with references to the 90's.

Young Adelaide model, Jemma Baines, who models the Marcs campaign, did us proud (featured in leopard print look above).

I'm loving the bold stripes and mid-waist collared shirts.

How do you feel about the hip hugging skirts?

NYFW Thakoon Spring 2013 RTW

Thakoon




Not my favorite collection, but I did appreciate the fresh colour palette, selection of funky clogs and sweet hummingbird embroidery.

NYFW Pragbal Gurung Spring 2013 RTW

Pragbal Gurung


Loving the shorts- not a bum cheek in sight. My fashion prayers have been answered.

Lovely prints and fabrics also featured in the collection.

NYFW Helmut Lang Spring 2013 RTW

Helmut Lang


Once again, loving the bright prints and loving the nicely cut shorts.

They kind of remind me of boxers... really cool, super fashion foreword boxers.

NYFW 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2013 RTW

3.1 Phillip Lim


The 'I heart nueva york' tops will be everywhere.
You just wait.

NYFW Lacoste Spring 2013 RTW

Lacoste


Lacoste was surprisingly quirky cool.

I found myself wanting a few choice pieces from the collection.

The plastic jackets and slips mixed with the refined mod feel gave off a bit of a blade runner feel.

NYFW Zac Posen Spring 2013 RTW

Zac Posen


Zac Posen gathered a lot of media attention due to (the legendary) Naomi Campbell walking the runway.

The peplum trend was certainly maintained through this collection. My favorite look was the stunning red gown paired witht the gorgeously shimmering jewels.

NYFW Diane Von Furstenburg Spring 2013 RTW

DVF


DVF is one of my all time favorite designers because of her love of bright prints, flattering drapery and kooky accents. This collection didn't disappoint.

Not going to deny it. I got a bit excited when I saw the loose fitting fuchia shorts. Loving it.

NYFW Carolina Herrera Spring 2013 RTW

Carolina Herrera



I love some of the details of this collection, such as the stark orange colour of some fabrics, the feminine and flattering cut of the high waisted shorts, and the gorgeous cat eye sunglasses.

However, the over all collection had a grandma-ish kind of feel. From the gaudy mish mash prints (not featured above), to the sheer overlay and the elasticated heels (the flats were cute though), I just wasn't 100% in love with it.

Louis Vuitton to Dotti Lace Collar

Louis Vuitton Lace Collar Update:



In a recent post, I mentioned that Cotton On have a Louis Vuitton inspired lace collar blouse. Upon reflection (i.e. more shopping), I have been made aware of a Louis Vuitton inspired white lace dress from Dotti.


This Dotti 'Daisy Mesh Dress' is available in store (I saw it in Rundle Mall) for $79.95.

Happy Spring Time!
