She's a very kinky girl...the kind you don't take home to mother

Siren has upped its game. This season's offerings are the best yet. Whilst there are some blink'n'you'll miss it imitations, they've actually engaged design teams (or hey, there could just be one man working his arse off, sketching designs??) and come up with some incredible shoes.

And did I mention that the price point is more consumer friendly? I didn't?? Frankly, its probably because I was too busy drooling. Over the model used for the SS10 campaign and the 'godessesque' feel to the look book. Woah!

Let me try and be specific......I want all of this:

APPRO $149.95

CULTURE $119.95

CURIO $109.95

I adore the above two pairs, and cannot for the life of me decide which I want more (and in which colour....more colours available in each style)!

DASH $109.95

(incredible shoes, and another pair I absolutely love)

these were the shoes I was on the hunt for a week back...love these YSL knockoffs!

And a couple more.....

JEALOUS $139.95

CURVE $119.95

Check out Siren's website for more...I meanwhile will be drooling whilst debating which pair I love most and want to take home to mama ;)

Speaking of which, which pair would you be claiming from all of the above?

Crystals, a wedding and a flamenco dancer or two.

I ordered these Siren shoes last week Saturday. They arrived on my doorstep on Wednesday and when I got home I promptly opened up the box, fell in love and decided to take some photos of the shoes in action.

Gorgeous and I love. My mother saw them and immediately piped up with, 'you should wear them to your wedding'. Good idea, except I'd probably stack it within a few minutes of putting the shoes on. These babies are HIGH.

Speaking of weddings....I've gotten to that point in life where a large percentile of my high school/uni friends are getting married. Yesterday one of Stuart and my friends got married. It's strange to see someone who's at the same stage in life as you take this leap, I tell you. The wedding was beautiful (they always are for me) and Brian and Shin looked positively radiant. Congratulations guys :)

the gorgeous background to Brian and Shin's wedding...

p.s. check out this tunic/dress/thingy I sourced at an op-shop. It was in the throw away pile and I do so love it. It's perfection. If I ever go flamenco dancing, I'm set.

Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend.

1st:sheer tank, supre. skirt, DIY vintage. shoes, Siren. cuff, gift.

2nd:flamenco tunic, vintage. dress (underneath), country road. shoes, wayne cooper. necklace, witchery.

are you tired of routine....

Thanks for your advice on the pair of leggings in the last post....I re-thought it out and have decided that whilst I still think the Ellery PVC leggings are the 'bees knees', I probably wouldn't have got much use out of them.

So I decided to focus my attention on something else......shoes!

I've been trying to hunt down the Siren knock-offs of the mesh sandals by Stella McCartney with no luck, but in my search found a suitable alternative knock-off (also by Siren): the Balmain crystal embellished studded sandals.

The real deal...

the knock-off: Siren Cunning shoes....

I've saved myself just over $2,000, the heel on the Siren knock-offs is KILLER, and these shoes are different from anything else I own. Is anyone else sick and tired of the standard black leather platform shoes (with minor variations aplenty)???!! I am. I'm focusing on coloured heels, wedges, oh and the odd crystal embellished shoe or two ;)

If you too want to experience the joy that is the Siren Cunning shoes, check out Sassi Parella (click on link to be directed to the shoes). You can buy now or pre-order, depending on what size you're after.

Hope you're all having a fantastic weekend....I'm off to a friend's birthday party.

Salut!

Looking Forward to in Winter....

I feel somewhat crazy talking about what I'm looking forward to in winter, when Perth has been hit with a warm front and we're experiencing 35 degree celcius plus days. Ahh well, I can still dream about winter outfits can't I.

Firstly, I'm very much looking forward to pairing my skinny leather pants (complete with asymmetrical side zippers a la Kate Moss' pair) with all manner of loose fit/slouchy pocket tanks and tees/oversize sweaters, and vertiguous heels. The pants were one of my favourite op-shop finds ever, costing only $20 (plus $25 for 'skinny-fying' the straight legs)

my DIY attempt at the Alexander Wang holey sweater. I found a white-ish oversize sweater at an op-shop a few weeks ago, and took to it straight away, cutting out irregular patches and replacing said patches with something akin to mosquito netting! I adore this and cannot wait to wear it...amusingly, Stuart is enamoured by the DIY effort.

Inspired by Rumi of fashiontoast when she pulled off this incredible black Topshop sweater with chunky holes and uneven rows, I was more than stoked to see that MinkPink are currently selling the exact replica. Mmmm....now all that's left is to find the perfect sheer/mesh tank to wear underneath.

I gave in on the whole 'shoe ban' thing this weekend, when I stumbled across these babies for more than 50% off. From Siren ofcourse. I'm generally not a peep-toe kinda gal, but these shoes look so incredible on it's a moot point.

Leggings from Sportsgirl, including a space odyssey homage silver pair and the infamous sequin leggings (which there was apparently a waiting list for (??!!!?) and which I was pleased to see are incredibly well made). The sequin leggings were a gift that I shall covet for a long time. I'm meanwhile eyeing the sequin bomber jacket and the military-inspired leather jacket and convincing myself I really need one or the other, or both, but that's beside the point ;)

My long tuxedo style blazer jacket with cuffed sleeves from Valleygirl. Made of cotton, the skinny fit is perfection and will work over bodycon dresses/tees/fitted tanks/anything just wonderfully. Mmmm.

What are you looking forward to, for the next season?

I'll leave you with these snaps from my birthday party a few years ago (and continuing with the "dress up" theme). The theme was A/C, my initials, so I was an Androgynous Crooner (Marilyn Manson) and Stuart was Captain Anonymous. I loved the effort everyone put in :)

The construction worker wrecking all the pictures with his flouro vest ;)






Stuart aka Capt Anonymous...hahaha



Commando, Androgynous Crooner, Christmas Tree and Cleopatra

Lust has a new meaning.

Siren has finally updated their website...yay.

(and yes, this is yet another shoe post :)

Good thing too, because I know they are doing some fabulous shoes for the A/W 09 season.

Sure, they may all be doppelgangers....but they ARE the shoes we want....

With the above in mind, and in light of the select range stocked in Perth stores, here are some of the shoes I'm droolin over this season (from the website):

Luda: $159.95

Flame: $189.95

Press: $179.95

Flow: $269.95

Kulula: $189.95

and last but definitely not least:

Dramatic: $199.95

Ahh, wouldn't you love to own one of/all of the above?

I certainly would :)
