Say what Mr Scott?

Probably THE most peculiar look out of all of the New York autumn/winter 2013/14 shows. Might even be written down in history ... or maybe never topped again in the future.

I imagine the blue furry monster from Monsters Inc had a baby with a Yo Gabba Gabba creature and that love child is being reincarnated in human form and now roaming the runways of New York (how delightful).
This is open to endless amounts of interpretations so please leave your reactions or thoughts in the comment section. I would really love some clarity as to this 'outfit'.

Although, props to Jeremy Scott for being this daring. I admire your bravery and would be greatly interested to know your concept.

Stay tuned for this coming week. I'll be posting some NYFW highlights (yes, Mr Scott included).

OUTFIT POST: St Louis Valentine

Dress: Miss Unkon ... Crown: P&P (own Etsy store, shop HERE) ... Shoes: Zu Shoes 

 February 14th ... Valentines Day. For those who have a significant other and can also manage to take a day off important commitments ... I envy you. Personally, although the former exists, I know that the latter is unlikely since I'll be sitting in a classroom learning about the notions of Romanticism (oh the irony).

However, this post is dedicated to what I WOULD be wearing on the 14th. I'm sticking to a fail proof formula; traditional pink or red, flowy frock and a handmade floral garland (shop HERE). Movement is something that I admire in a dress and this one by Miss Unkon is what I call the perfect 'happy dress'. Allow me to explain. 

You know those off days where all you want to do is sink into a hole and sleep (or weep)? What you should do is pop on your favourite frock, pump up some deep house lounge jazz rap dupstep (whatever floats your boat) and just dance! Flick that hair, fling your arms and in the words of my friend Carly ... Shimmy Shimmy Shimmy!

Everyone knows how an instant mood booster feels like and that can translate into a piece of clothing. Therefore a 'happy dress' is a particular garment infiltrated by feelings of fearlessness and freedom and associated with everything positive. 

So on the 14th, no worries if you're celebrating independence. Just don't be a sulky pigeon. Grab your girlfriends, do the aforementioned steps and have a gorgeous 'Galentines Day'. 

The Rumour Mill

Today, I had the great privilege of being invited to The Rumour Mill's showroom. The Rumour Mill is a PR agency based in Sydney who represents brands such as MINKPINK, Market HQ, Staple The Label, Paint It Red, Hunt No More and many others. Flipping through these photos, I've realised that I should have ironed my skirt and not stuffed it in a bag (learn from my mistakes... do as I say, not as I do).

During this hour or so, I met an amazing set of people who made the meeting all the more comfortable for this nervous blogger; PR Coordinator Montana Taffs, social media coordinator Leigh Counsell and the designer of Paint It Red Soren Kearney. You might be familiar with this brand already since I've blogged about their 'Sweet Escape' shorts in THIS post. Upon being shown around this spacious and organically decorated showroom (I have a soft spot for tiny pot plants), I was definitely drawn to the Paint It Red rack. The team talked me through the latest winter collection in which I spied a lot of cobalt and bright paisley prints toughened by leather details on sleeves or peplums. Girls in Australia ... take note, this is what you would (or should) be wearing for the upcoming cooler seasons.

Keep your eyes peeled for more Paint It Red or Quirky Circus posts since I will be doing some future collaborations. Thank you Montana, Leigh and Soren for this amazing opportunity and I can't wait to walk up that patisserie scented staircase again.

Lastly, The Rumour Mill ... if you're reading this, PLEASE tell me what candles you burn in there. Your showroom smells devine!
