Keep Your Eye On New Zealand Fashion Designer Liz Wilson…

Introducing LIZ WILSON’S new brand EUGÉNIE…

Former graphic designer (and Karen Walker design assistant) Liz Wilson has launched a capsule concept collection of her new brand, Eugenie.

The concept collection features refined cuts and sculptural silhouettes paired with a fresh approach to textile print.  Don’t be fooled by this ultra-feminine soft sorbet coloured palette, designer Liz Wilson isn’t interested in making women look demure or cute – her philosophy is to make unfussy, well crafted garments that create a feeling of ease, elegance and effortlessness for the wearer.

Liz Wilson with her brand Eugenie, proving New Zealand is still at the forefront of fashion design.

Check out a few of my favourite picks from the collection…

DIY Fashion Project: Trackie Pants to Cute Summer Boy Shorts (and there’s NO SEWING involved)…

Strut into summer by turning your favourite pair of trackie pants into sizzling boy shorts. The best part is THERE’S NO SEWING INVOLVED!!

These boy shorts are the brainchild of US based lingerie designer, Jenny Dombroski of Evlove Intimates; and this simple tutorial will show you how you too can create your very own unique pair of super cute summer boy shorts.

Materials:
Trackie/Workout pants
Ruler
Chalk
Scissors
Hemming tape*
Lace trim*
Parchment paper*
Ribbon*
Iron and ironing board
Safety pin

*You can get these items from stores such as Spotlight, Geoffs Emporium, Craft Stores, etc

Step by Step:

  1. Lay the tracksuit pants flat and measure your desired length (the inseam should be between one and a half and three inches); adding a curved slit at the outer leg is optional. Draw the cut line with chalk.
  2. Fold the sweatpants in half lengthwise and cut from the inseam outward.
  3. Slide one leg of the shorts onto your ironing board. Line the hemming tape along the bottom edge and place lace on top, covering the tape. Put parchment paper over it all and iron for eight seconds to adhere the lace. Repeat with other leg.
  4. Remove drawstring from shorts. Replace with a ribbon (use the safety-pin to guide the ribbon through the gap where you removed the drawstring from.  The safety-pin will make it easy to guide the ribbon around).

And… Super Cute Boy Shorts Complete!!

WIWT – Borrowing From My Guys Wardrobe….

When people say to me ‘describe your fashion style’, I can never narrow it down to one signature look.  I dress depending on my mood when I wake up in the morning and I like to mix up influences from street style, cinema and just whatever I conjure up in my head at the time.  I love boho chic, dressing girly, getting glammed up, and I would be lost without my super comfy boyfriend jeans. Another style I am quite partial to is an androgynous look, aka the ‘I raided my guys wardrobe’ look, is one of my favourites.

I’ve always lived by the mantra ‘money can’t buy style or class’ and with this in mind I love the challenge of hunting through a store I wouldn’t normally shop at, or a store that doesn’t stock designer/well-known brands (don’t get me wrong, I do love my designer brands too) with the aim of finding an item of clothing I can make work OR raiding my guys wardrobe to see what I can take from his wardrobe, to make work with mine – YEAH he’s finding out about this at the same time you are.  Thanks for letting me ‘borrow’ your shirt 🙂

What I Wore Today/OOTD……

  1. MECCANO:  Striped Mens Shirt with ‘sleeve braces’ aka my guy’s shirt, which I decided I really love and had to wear on this warm yet overcast/rainy day.  It’s an XL Mens Shirt, so it’s a great length for shorts! I just adore the little sleeve braces – very preppy!! He has another shirt I have my eye on that I’m going to wear as a shirt dress with a little tan belt and sandals.
  2. Max: black shorts
  3. Soda: Black and cork wedges
  4. Daniel Wellington: Watch (love love LOVE this watch!!)
  5. Karen Walker: Jewellery
  6. Boohoo.com: Tan studded bag
  7. Versace: Sunglasses

Nostalgems…

Quite some time ago I came across a gorgeous treasure trove of vintage jewellery, which selfishly I kept to myself.  But upon revisiting their online store I’ve decided it’s just too damned good not to share…. Nostalgems – charming yet affordable high-street jewellery created from vintage finds, objet trouvé and forgotten curiosities.

Think ordinary and discarded articles reborn as engaging wearable objet d’arts.  Old and new bits and bobs mingled together to make something that invites conversation!

I could literally get lost for hours trawling through the treasure trove that is Nostalgems.  From a tiny dandelion captured in a bottle, French love quotes on a chain & time-worn rosebuds delicately dangling from a charm bracelet, through to miniature vintage keys and an old floral sixpence – these pieces have already captured by heart!  The only downside to nostalgems is trying to decide what piece you love more – truly awe-inspiring, reminiscent of your grandmother’s family heirlooms!!

You can find Nostalgems on Facebook here or head straight to the Nostalgems website – but prepare to lose time in a jewellery wonderland.

Oh, Now These Are Good…

New addition to the ‘Latest Loves’ Pinboard – Sweet Marcel socks by Goodsocks

I’m going to be honest here, I’m actually a closet sock nerd, so when I came across this adorable NZ based company I was a little bit excited.  www.Goodsocks.co.nz – a recently launched New Zealand website that sources the latest designer socks from around the world.  This online store, based company in the Wairarapa, sells colourful, quality socks from across the globe, from Stockholm, Sweden to Portland, Oregon.

No, I don’t love just regular ol’ socks you can get anywhere!  This is why I’m a little taken with Goodsocks…  Seriously, check these out!  Sweet Marcel ‘Jane’ over the knee socks and *swoon* ‘Bonjour’ knee socks – GET IN MY LIFE!!

And so the Christmas Wish List grows!!
