Chloe Jade Green Collection

Chloe Green launches her new collection on the 17th of May at Topshop's Oxford Street store today. I love the green sole which is totally reminiscent of Christian Louboutins which will make anyone who sees you in these green with envy. I cant wait to get my hands on these, here are some of my favorites. Even celebrities have already complimented the collection, with Kate Moss saying they were great but were too high for her. What about you, will you brave the high? J xoxo

Anna Dello Russo for H&M



Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I am so excited about this collaboration I cant even contain it. Out of all the collaborations this one is my favorite by far. I cant believe it, my favorite fashion icon is designing a range for one of my favorite shops! Days don't get better than this.

The bad news? We will have to wait till OCTOBER for the collection to hit the shops! And the even worse news for me, living in New Zealand where accessing the collection will be even harder. But fingers and toes crossed that someone in my lovely family will bear the crowd and grab some of these gorgeous accessories for me

The collection consists of jewelry, sunglasses, shoes and bags. The jewelry will consist of turqouise-colored stones, gold colored metals and black accents. The pieces include large statement cuffs, many in the shapes of snakes and lizards, plus oversized rings and statement piece necklaces.



Dello Russo says: “This is the first time H&M involves a fashion director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it."

“I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist I know accessorisation is essential; it is the personal touch to any outfit. With these pieces everybody can have fun, turning an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day.”



So roll on october! J xoxo

Dress to Impress

While I was walking through the geysers in Rotorua, celebrities were walking the red carpet showing of their dresses fashion met art at this years Met Ball in New York. I was looking through the looks of the night and picked out the Highlights and Lowlights of this years event. What did you think? J xoxo

SJP head to toe in Valentino. I liked this look but did it remind anyone else of curtains?


Jessica Alba dazzled in Gold in Michael Kors


Sofia Vergara does what she does best in Marchesa


Camilla Belle looked stunning in this low-cut Ralph Lauren number but I did not think the makeup worked with the dress and I would have preferred if she would have used a lighter more natural palette. 



Paula Patton looked gorgeous in this dramatic bustier and large drop earrings as she posed with designer Vera Wang, definitely my favorite look of the night!


Kate Upton supposedly payed $25,000 for a ticket to the event so i was expecting her to turn out a show stopper. Well she did for all the wrong reasons. The dress might have been pretty but I could not get past the makeup. She is a gorgeous girl, so naturally beautiful! She did not need to put on this much makeup and she overdid it and it overshadowed what she was wearing...


Kirstin Stewart tried to hard to be trendy in Balenciaga and she looked too casual for such a formal event and I would have liked her to wear a more formal dress especially since she is young and could pull it off.


Another favorite look of the night, Heidi Klum in Escada


Karolina Kurkova in and with Rachel Zoe, I just thought that it didn't work at all


Solange Knowles radiated in this gorgeous yellow number



This dress looks amazing but it looks so heavy!


Anna Wintour with a lobster on her dress, everyone knows Anna always does it right


Oh hell no!


Lily Collins looked adorable, like a fairy


And Amy Adams just looked perfect in this dress!

Little Miss Caggie Dunlop

Favorite look of the week! And it seems Caggie Dunlop has taken it for the second time! I know that I should pick other people but there is just something about her style that I just love and she hits it out of the park every time and I am definitely seeing her as a fashion inspiration.

Can I just say that I am in love with that dress, it is such a beautiful white dress with such an interesting sheer paneling that really makes the look. The accessories are perfect once again I especially love her clutch and I will definitely be on the lookout for one like that when I go to London. And she perfectly combines and mixes the accessories which are all different colors but she matches them really well. Caggie Dunlop, one to watch in the fashion books. J xoxo

Bright Lights in the Winter City

The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting longer, the rain is pouring down and worst of all it is getting colder. I don't like it! Normally I don't really mind winter but this year it just seems unbearable, and it has barely started! I am already over the chilly weather, seeing your breath and frozen fingers. I just love these neon accessories and pieces. These are some of my favorite pieces that I wish I could have and that would surely make me warmer! There is nothing better to brighten your outfit or your mood than some colorful clothing. I hope that wherever you are and whatever season you are in that the weather is treating you well! J xoxo







Good Sports

While looking at the runners running the London Marathon  photos seems boring and the idea of actually running seems appalling there is one thing that might catch your attention spectator street style! These were my favorites! J xoxo
P.s. Always wanted to do the London Marathon but it just looks so hard!

1. I am a big big fan of floral so I automatically gravitated towards this look but what really hit it out of the park was the flowers in her boots! So original! It sounds really weird and totally bizarre and if you would have told me this a week ago I would have laughed at the ridiculous idea but it works, completely and utterly perfect! 



2. Again my love of floral coming through in my selection! And this girl really shows us all how to work three trends. The pastel trends - the lavender trousers bang on trend and she has matched the outfit really well together. The second 'trend' - the mix between girl and edgy, she has balanced this really well. I like the girly, innocent vibe that her trousers and top give off in comparison to the edginess of her jacket. And another 'trend' (okay I lied its not really but its a rule worth following!) High street clothes and expensive accessories! Her outfit is completely from topshop and her bag is Mulberry! Investment pieces....just saying ;) 


3. I love the pop of color she has injected into her outfit! I can admit I wear black and I love to wear black but it always looks so much better when you have some color! And she has done it perfectly, it just looks amazing!
