Zimmerman a/w 2013

Here is the first look for Zimmerman's autumn/winter 2013 collection and so far so good. With warm natural browns present and a spot of colour this collection is looking very desirable. I am especially loving Dazed Knitted Fur Jacket (picture 2).

The more earthy colours really reflect the coming up season and the added colour in the collection emphasises that colour isn't only for summer, you just tone it down in the cooler months of the year and follow more pastel/lighter colours rather than brights. 

You can see the trends like texture, 60's influence and tailored jackets in this collection.

FANTASTIQUE MAGNIFIQUE 2013 by Karen Walker

I am loving what is to come from Karen Walker in 2013. The clothes picture above are only a handful of my favourite pieces from the next collection Fantastique Magnifique, all these clothes pictured are for the Southern Hemisphere section, since that is where I live I am mainly interested in these pieces.

I am especially loving all the blue clothes, but that could be because it is my favourite colour. This collection is clean cut and features trends like white on white, ruffles, sixties influence and tailored suits all of which are going to be big hits in the Southern Hemisphere come Autumn and Winter.

My wardrobe will be dreaming of owning many pieces of Karen Walker's collection Fantastique Magnifique.

Elliatt Resort Collection 2012

Loving the summer clothes from Elliatt at the moment, the colours are tastefully bold and make the items look like a summer piece should, not to bright and not too soft. The thing I like about Elliatt's clothes is that you can imagine yourself wearing them, which I can find it hard with some pieces I find online.

Expanding the wardrobe

Dress from Glassons and skirt from Valley Girl

Ever since I have started working all I seem to be doing is filling up my wardrobe (which is full already!), but I am at least only looking in the sale section. Like these two new additions, the dress I have wanted for a long time from Glassons, I walked into the store and decided I would buy it no matter the cost. Turned out it was the perfect time to go in cause it was on sale and was only $25. I can't wait to wear it out, and I am thinking of wearing it with my green belt to give it a bit of colour.

The skirt was also in the sale section in Valley Girl and it was only $16, so I was pretty happy with that bargain buy! Although I went into the store looking for a new top to go with my new black high waisted skinny jeans, I was still happy with the find.

I have also noticed when I was trying clothes on that I have lost weight! I am now a comfortable size 12 and sometimes even a size 10! You wana know my secret? 

Walking up all these damn hills in Auckland! 

Also I will be going back down to the South Island for my friend's 21st and the Methven Rodeo! I can not wait, just have to tell work I can't work that weekend. I also only have 3 weeks left of uni and then its exams! EEKK!! But that also means SUMMER TIME!   

A treat well deserved!

Glassons top, Glassons dress and Remix magazine.

I felt that I deserved a treat. And I did just that. Today my lecture was cancelled so I decided to go shopping instead (and also to celebrate getting a job!). I walked into Glassons and headed straight to the sale section as I love to buy a bargain! That's where I found my new top (NZ$15) and new dress (NZ$25), I can't wait to wear them now. Also my major weakness is magazines, maybe because I want to work in the industry but I just love buying magazines! (you should see my collection) so I finally bought the HUGE issue of Remix magazine and I can tell you now I will probably be spending more time reading that than studying tonight. 

Spring fashion wishlist

 

Glassons skirt, Glassons top and pants, Ketz-ke dress, Ketz-ke blouse and shorts.

So over here in NZ we are heading out of winter and into spring, which means new fashion trends. Here are some pictures of clothes on my wish list! As you may be able to tell I'm really liking the pastel blue colour for spring mainly because blue is my favourite colour, but also I'm just liking all the pastel colours for spring!
