Today I am sharing some of my favourite items available in the current line at Shoemint.

Shoemint is the design pairing of Rachel Bilson and Nicole Chavez with the shoe manufacturing experience of Steve Madden.

What I love about Shoemint is that they stock up to size 11 as a matter of course for all of their designs!!!! Shoemint also offer free shipping in both directions so you should never feel like you have to keep a pair of shoes that doesn’t fit or does not live up to your expectations. The prices are also really great (many shoes are around $50- $80) and with the strong Aussie dollar I don’t think you’ll find a better deal than some of the sales at the moment 🙂

Shoemint also have a great new range of handbags out incorporating this seasons’ neon trend:

Check them out and let me know if you would try any of these styles

I’m really quite enjoying doing these posts, it really makes you think about your wardrobe and how you can carry one piece from look to look.

I know there are a lot of people out there who are completely over the whole mullet skirts and dresses, you know the whole business in the front party in the back but I wanted to show what can be achieved but changing accessories and other items to change the feel of the outfit completely.

Here I have created a nighttime look and a daytime look. As you can see by simply changing a a few pieces, well it’s nearly the whole outfit but I’m trying to demonstrate you can certainly use one item of clothing in different circumstances.

Makeup can also set the tone of your outfit, it’s always good to think about the complete look. Don’t just stop at what you are wearing on the lower parts of your body.

I think the best choices for these two outfits would be a gorgeous smokey eye for the evening look, very cliche I know, but it’s a safe and classic choice.

For the more casual daytime look I would personally have the makeup far more neutral and keep it fresh.

So I’m hoping I’ve given someone out there some what of an idea on how they can change it up a bit and work with what they already have.

I have an odd fascination for the high low look, I don’t have anything in my wardrobe that fits the classic definition but I do love asymmetry in general.

I like the idea of an unconventional pairing and mixing things up with texture and bursts of floral:

Morning All!

For today’s Fashion Inspired by the Movies I’ve decided on the Toy Story Series. I recently watched Toy Story 3 and fell in love all over again.

I adore family movies and Pixar has never let me down. So have a brilliant day and enjoy reminiscing the joys of your childhood or even adulthood 😉

I am so happy Cat chose ‘Toy Story’ today. It is such a vibrant and happy story that I adored as a child (who didn’t?). I don’t think i’ve cried so much in a movie when I saw the third and final instalment. Amazing. Anyway, I chose to re-create Woodys fun yet practical look for today. I used the main colours he wears (brown, yellow, red) and made sure I used plenty to get that ‘Wait, dont I know her from somewhere’. I highly recommend, for a fun affect, writing ‘ANDY’ on the bottom of your cowboy boots. People will get a smile!!! 😀

What kids movie makes you smile so much your cheeks hurt, even as an adult? Any cartoon characters inspire your look?

I picked Buzz Lightyear to focus on today because I am inspired by space every day but mostly because I think green and purple are a colour combo I would love to be more confident with so it was a challenge for me as well.

Here is a Buzz look for when you are hanging out with your toy box pals on the weekend:
