My ACNE list

This 'Fur Blond' fur patch jacket is the most creative fur jacket I've ever seen.

I always thought leather dresses were skanky but this 'Ara' leather bustier dress can kick my perception down the drain. It looks chic.

Acne 'Impact 1' aviator jumpsuit and 'Geronimo' tassle scarf

This sheer 'Awesome' shirt dress is indeed awesome. I think I'm obsessed with sheer clothing.

'Hybria Sue' wedge ankle boots


The Acne 'Admire' Wedge boot in this olive/army green colour looks hotter than the black one!

New Hair

Wearing two tone trench coat, Zanerobe 'Zippora' knitted dress worn as top, Sportsgirl lace camisole, vintage Levis shorts, belt and bag, Sportsgirl socks and Tony Bianco boots

Jeanna from Zanerobe sent me this gorgeous knitted dress which I wore as a top. The photo below shows what it really looks like. The hole at the back gives me lots of chances to layer it with lacey body suits underneath. I might even try wearing it front to back with a tube dress underneath.


I hope everyone has had a good weekend. It's Monday again, which I am not very happy about. The only thing I'm looking forward to is the nice 25 degree day in Adelaide this Sunday! Time to show your legs people. Spring is finally here and summer is on the way!

Velvetine

Wearing everything vintage but shoes and socks from Topshop

I got this awesome striped velvet and mesh top when I was out shopping with Emily of Little Black Book in Sydney last week. Sydney is definitely the place to go for affordable vintage clothes! I got this blazer at the Glebe Market for only $20! If you're heading down to Sydney on a weekend, go check out the Glebe Markets

Polka face




Vintage polka dot shirt | H&M leather shorts | Vintage watch | Gifted rings | Dolce Vita for Target shoes


What do I say when I have too much to say? I'm a writer. This should be easy for me. But it isn't, because I have more enthusiasm in me than anybody could possibly handle. Bullet points? I disdain them. They're shoddy.

But I do want to tell you somehow about my life in Fort Collins. I wish I could relay the delight of finding the $10 leather shorts I bought from H&M in San Francisco, and the wonderful Dolce Vita for Target collection, and the beauty of the CSU campus (below), and my favourite two film photographs of San Francisco (bottom two). I wish I could explain what makes the Greek life so unique, and how elated I was when Kappa Kappa Gamma asked me to join their sorority.

To attempt to describe my experience in Colorado so far would be like trying to show you the glory of the Mona Lisa by sketching on a napkin. So I'll leave you with that, but if you want to keep tabs on my journey, you should follow me on Tumblr. I vomit a lot of words and outtakes from photoshoots there.

xoxo,
Coco

Juliana Jabour Summer 2011

 
 

I have never heard of Brazilian designer Juliana Jabour before until one day when one of her blazers caught my eye. What I like about her latest collection are the mix of pastel and bright vibrant colours. I am looking forward to seeing more of her stuff. Hop over to her website for more looks from her latest collection and past collections. 

For all you Adelaidians out there, Whistles stock Juliana Jabour which is where I purchased my first Juliana Jabour piece! I also love that blazer in the first photo!!!
