Incase you weren’t aware, I am a interior addict.

Last week whilst I was in Sydney for MBFWA staying with family, my interior brain started churning ideas again – yes the shopping in Sydney is amazing! I wish we had the same amount of good homewares shops! but also my relatives have AMAZING taste when it comes to interior design.

One of our houses (sounds weird to say!) is now tenant free and my parents want to redo the kitchen (as they renovated the house to suit an office originally… now it’s going to become a house again!) All you Aussies would probably be familiar with The Block, but for my international readers, The Block is a television show in Aus featuring couples from around the country each renovating a complete house in a very short amount of time! Although its been a little while since the finale, I can’t seem to get Josh and Jenna’s Kitchen!

I am obsessed with the Calcutta marble bench top in a soft honed finish by Gitani Stone at Freedom Kitchens and that gorgeous vertical garden care of City Forest 

I love the feel of their kitchen and would love to have something like this! I would gladly put money towards the kitchen for it to look like this!

Some other little bits and pieces I am lusting over right now are paintings by David Bromley

We’ve hit the home stretch! After a short/long week (short because of Easter Monday, long because of… well work) It is finally Friday night! Flights are booked, seats are reserved and outfits are.. not.. sorted (must get to that!) Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia is upon us! Only 3 sleeps!

To really inspire you all, I thought I’d post a little inspirational/street style/ pretty images to get your hearts a flutter! Make sure you and your fashion loving friends and family are following WD on Facebook and Instagram (@wilddarts) to get all images straight to your phone as the action happens! Not to mention street style, Sydney touristy piccies, food inspiration and outfit posts by yours truly!

Tomorrow my prep for MBFWA continues! I have been thinking it’s about time I go back to the hairdresser but unfortunately for me, her daughter is getting married and she is taking 2 weeks off! In runs my gorgeous best friend from high school who has nearly completed her apprenticeship.. winning! Now you all may remember that I have a ‘Lara Bingle’ styled hair do – just a brunette style ;) (Think Christine Centenera meets Lara Bingle!) It’s time to crank that up a notch and really go for the blunt cut! Inspo piccies are below… we are going for a Lara Bingle/ Jessica Stein – Tuula Vintage style but just over the shoulders (see Lara’s second image)

What do y’all think?!

I am dying to know… who are you looking forward to at MBFWA? International readers; does Aus fashion week mean much to you? Do you know many designers who are showing?  

Cant wait to report back to all of you next week!

3.1 PHILLIP LIM – FALL 2013 COLLECTION

So good that it needed its own individual post!

This season Lim was inspired by bikers, or rather girlfriends of bikers and their style. Leather, patch-covered denim, moto jackets, vests, sweaters.. all further enhanced this theme. His pre-fall collection, that I also fell madly in love with, set the tone with this collection. Stand out pieces were the pullovers, jewel coloured trench coats, leather biker vests with mo-hair jumpers, textured coats with black edging with slouchy leather pants, detailed sweatshirts with side zips and patchwork fur. This collection is very wearable and can be incorporated into any woman’s wardrobe. I also really liked the accessories in this collection, the earrings, the sunglasses – wow! So different and very cool! I was also very interested by the fury clutch bag!

Backstage, Francelle Daly of NARS described the makeup as ‘uptown sophisticated; She’s a girl with an edge though, she has a rock n roll boyfriend’ The lip was my favourite and complimented the collection brilliantly – Lining and filling the lips with NARS Lip Liner Pencil in Kenya and layered with its eye liner in Mambo – a very sophisticated and expensive look.
