Hot In The City: Miranda Kerr




This whole week Miranda Kerr has been stepping out with her baby in an array of glorious shorts. God, it must be good weather in New York. As much as I appreciate the ease with which she pulls off floral-on-floral (and that hat), my favourite is probably Kerr wearing Stella McCartney paisley shorts, a clean sleeveless shirt and awesome sunglasses (must find out where those are from!)

Corny



1/ Red-eyed, wearing Forever New neon necklace and Zara leopard shirt. Had dinner at new thai place, Ayatana, on Chapel St. Damn it was actually amazing.
2/ I really felt like corn the other day so I went out, bought corn, came home and cooked it. I felt like such a weirdo buying just corn but it was so worth it. Goooood. But I really want to make this recipe from Food 52; lime, parmesan and chilli corn. It's the ultimate corn.

I Found A Place For My Casa






Locations like this make me want to put on a sundress and dance while drinking a coconut.

Pamela Love Triangle Ring




Pamela Love Triangle Ring. I love this ring because it can look completely different depending on the angle. And because I got it from my friends :)

Wha' gwan

5. Big chunky bright red jumpers


ChloƩ


6. This outfit from Giovanna Battaglia



One of those situations where you would never ever think to pick it up off the rack yourself ... but then you see someone else wearing it and you start to reconsider your tastes. Love the check and leopard print combo.

Perfect For... Cracked Wheat and Freekah Salad @ Cumulus Inc, CBD

Top - Kain, Pants - Therese Rawsthorne, Necklace - Lanvin, Clutch - Stella McCartney, Bracelet - Vanessa Kandiyoti, Heels - Christian Louboutin

Via Broadsheet

I love restaurants that encourage plate sharing - mainly because it means I don't feel bad when I start eating other people's dishes. I also love these Therese Rawsthorne pants - and yes, I'm pretty sure they have palm trees printed all over them. If that doesn't get you into holiday mode, then I'm afraid you've got no hope. Why don't you cheer yourself up with some cracked wheat and freekah salad? Recipe here. HAHA good luck finding freekah in the supermarket. Wow, not a good day for you?

Tony Bianco Alexa Boot

I have been wearing these boots like crazy lately. Talking about copies... they look verrrry similar to Acne Pistol boots, which I have wanted for ages but at $190 (with 20% off on top of that, thanks Santini) these were too good to pass up.

Smelling Like a Tart

I dropped in Mozi on Glenferrie road on the weekend, where I had to restrain myself from buying everything. Lately I've begun to appreciate that candles make my life a whole lot better. When I'm candle shopping sometimes I fall into the trap of treating it like perfume and buying scents that I would want to wear. But that's not the point - your house isn't a girl. So I find it best to stay away from candles that are really floral - not because I don't like floral but it just doesn't give me that real homely feeling when I walk in the door. Which is why I went for the homely baked rhubarb candle. Yum. I also got two pretty cups because they were pretty.

White Lies



I've thought about white jeans for a while but I had some doubts as to whether I could pull them off. Then the other day I saw some for $40 in Cotton On (umm best place for cheap jeans). All my jeans are from Cotton On these days except one token pair from Topshop. I really have very strong beliefs that expensive jeans aren't really worth it. The Cotton On jeans I have now (same cut, different colours) is the magic combination of 98% cotton, 2% elastane which is the only real requirement I have. Because I'm wearing white on the bottom I decided to go with a bit of a darker top (but not black, too harsh) so I wore this grey Sportsgirl knit (although I'm really hanging out to find the perfect jumper to wear with these jeans - maybe really dark green?). Getting all knitted up if one of my favourite things about winter, however this joy is usually soon marred by my incredible ability to make giant pulls in all my jumpers.

I wore this to breakfast at Liar Liar (where the big breakfast is called Big Fat Liar. Best cafe name ever - take note Fortysevenkirwanstreet!). I managed to get a good shot of my neon yellow Forever New necklace which is the compliment gatherer of the century - if I had a coin for every time someone gasps when I tell them it was $20 then well, I could buy another one.

Outfit
White skinny jeans - Cotton On
Grey knit top - Sportsgirl
Yellow neon collar necklace - Forever New
Knee high leather boots - Marika from Santini
Silver ring - Tiffany & Co
