Style Sessions: How To Style A Parka…

With parka’s being so on-trend right now, I thought I’d do a ‘Style Sessions’ post on various ways I’ve styled my new boohoo.com parka.

I’m quite a ‘girly girl’ when it comes to fashion, but I’m really loving the parka trend! It’s a little outside my normal dress code, but a warm comfy jacket never goes astray in winter right?  Whilst it’s taken me quite some time to choose the perfect parka – one that is just slightly more form-fitting than the average parka, yet still warm enough for winter, and versatile enough to dress up or down.  After many weeks searching , I finally found one that I love from boohoo.com and the best part is, it’s feminine and really versatile!  I’m not really a ‘hoodie’ wearer, but this parka does come with a hood zipped into the collar. It has a fully adjustable waistline and you can also adjust the hem for either a ‘lantern’ or ‘swing-style’ finish and it’s finished at the back with coat-tail detailing.  The one I chose, which you can find you can find here is actually on sale for $50 right now, which is a steal because when I got mine it was 75 bucks! – Why does that always happen to me?

So we decided to head to a nearby reserve and get some snaps wearing my new parka (ok truth be told, the reserve was an excuse to wear my gumboots that I’m a little obsessed with at the moment)…

Yeeeaaaah, I’m laughing here because seconds prior – I nearly ended up in the water

For a more ‘sports luxe’ look (and heading to Cafe Melba for brunch) I’ve opted for a pair of jeans from Maxshop.com, hightop wedge sneakers, Cotton On nautical top, Juliette Hogan necklace and my favourite Colette Hayman studded bag…

Next – we headed into Ellerslie township (this is the train station, which I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve never actually been on a train since I was about 4, but hey it made for a nice setting) and in these snaps I’m wearing my boohoo.com parka with my Decjuba singlet, long-sleeved Ricochet top, Decjuba leggings, and Overland leather riding boots…

I hope this ‘Style Sessions’ post has inspired you to give the parka trend a whirl, or if you already own a parka – perhaps inspired a couple of new ways to wear it.

Have a fabulous week.

Beautiful Editorials – You’ve Been Schooled…

Not a day of school would have been skipped had my college been akin to the Tata Naka A/W ’13 lookbook.  I’m certain even the perfectly primped Gossip Girl’s of the Upper East Side would be envious of this college of couture.  Popping with colour, edible pastels and a plethora of patterns – this is no conventional collection!  A swoon-worthy editorial that I will never tire of perusing…

‘I Love Ugly’ Frankie Watch Collection…

Ahhh, ya gotta love the guys from ‘I Love Ugly’!!  They captured my attention with the release of their ‘Zespy pants’ – my guy hunted them down the moment I showed him them and ever since he has been a huge fan, and now they’ve created a pretty damn slick watch collection.

The I Love Ugly Frankie Watch Collection

Drawing on an appreciation for all things classic, I Love Ugly have re-appropriated nautical and battle themed paintings by placing the unique imagery within their watch designs.  The Frankie watch series features a new watch casing that is designed to be comfortable without compromising style!

I’m a little partial to mens watches myself actually (I think a masculine watch on women looks uber-cool) so I think I’ll be tracking one of these down, either for my guy, or myself (the latter is probably more accurate – and honest).

Check out the collection…

Max Spring 2013 Collection – Loaded With Style…

Max, Max Fashions, Style, Spring Collection, Media Preview, shoes, heels, fashion blog nz, style blog nz, beauty blog nz, beauty media nz, NZ PR, Angie Fredatovich, Gurlinterrupted.com

Gurlinterrupted headed along to the Max Spring 2013 Media Preview Day to view the 3 new Spring style collections: Life in Black and White, Rock ‘n’ Roses and Urban Bloom.

Life in Black and White is a monochromatic mix of structured pieces in sharp shapes with a nod to the swinging sixties.  Rock ‘n’ Roses comes packed with attitude and street cred immortalised in distressed print tees worked back with denim for casual chic, and Urban Bloom – a beautiful collection that bursts with colour, texture and floral prints.

There were definitely some standouts for me – the Spliced PU Ponte Pant, a black ‘Hepburn’ style sleeveless dress and an amazing white ‘bleeding heart’ tee with a chiffon ‘cross’ feature on the back.  Don’t even get me started on their metallic brogues. They are to-die-for!!

Check out my snaps from the media preview day, along with just a few of my favourite pieces from the new Max Spring 2013 collections…

Loobie’s Story: SS13 Collection – Yin & Yang

Loobie’s Story, Laurinda Sutcliffe, Lily & Louis PR, Yin & Yang, Runway Show, style blog nz, fashion blog nz, beauty blog nz, fashion media nz, Angie Fredatovich, gurlinterrupted.com, clothes,

Overlooking Auckland harbour, in a secret room hidden behind a wall of books, fashion media were invited to view a new chapter of Loobie’s Story – The Spring/Summer 2013 Collection entitled Yin & Yang.

Designer – Laurinda Sutcliffe explains “Loobie’s Story is a taste of what’s happening around the world. The things I’ve coveted the most. A merging of urban essentials with a little bit of the exotic, everyday. A collection that lets you tell your own unique and ever-changing story. Whatever’s going on for you. A story about a love for life and a life well lived”

The Loobie’s Story summer collection – Yin & Yang illustrates the label’s central design philosophy – balance. The collection is inspired by brilliant light, bold colours and the vividly uplifting atmosphere of Bali.

I am a HUGE fan of Bohemian Chic and for me personally, this is what I saw in the collection – beautiful, chic, well-made bohemian garments, suitable for everyday wear! I could have easily taken home all of the garments that I saw in this collection and I’d be happily set for my summer wardrobe!

Karen Inderbitzen-Waller provided her own unique interpretation of the collection via a fabulous runway show at Auckland waterfront’s Snapdragon.  Here are some of my favourites from the collection along with some snaps direct from the runway…

Celine Rita: Comme Ci, Comme Ca – Parisian Winter Collection

Celine Rita, Celine Chapman, Winter 13 Collection, Comme Ci Comme Ca, Ella McIntosh, style blog nz, fashion blog nz, beauty blog nz, Angie Fredatovich, gurlinterrupted.com, clothes, shoes, Parisian Collection

Last week we headed along to Celine Chapman’s boutique to view the ‘Celine Rita Winter 2013 Collection – Comme Ci, Comme Ca’, a beautiful Parisian inspired collection.

We had a chance to catch up with the amazing New Zealand Designer to find out what inspired her to create Comme Ci, Comme Ca.

“To say I was inspired by the cultures and people of the cities I visited would be an understatement. The whole experience was like a dream and I was particularly captivated during my time in Florence and Paris.

It was the everyday objects I saw in Europe that really inspired the winter range – from the beautifully crafted doors, street lamps and windows.  I drew inspiration from everywhere.”

Celine was drawn to two specific muses for this range, a girl after my own heart, she drew inspiration from Audrey Tautou and Clemence Posey.

Whilst visiting Celine’s boutique I fell in love with her perfectly tailored Parisian Coat (and her super cute puppy, Flo) along with so many of her beautifully crafted pieces.  To visit Celine’s boutique – head to 136B Newton Road, Auckland (entry to her boutique is on St Benedict’s Street) – just don’t touch that coat!!!

Stolen Girlfriends Club: Nasty Goreng & MINI Paceman Spring Runway Show

Stolen Girlfriends Club, Nasty Goreng, MINI PACEMEN, Death Moth, Fashion, runway, style blog nz, fashion blog nz, beauty blog nz, New Zealand PR, Media NZ

A vacant warehouse in Newmarket housed the release of Stolen Girlfriend Club’s Spring collection, ‘Nasty Goreng’, last night.  A sea of  beanie-wearing guests (I counted 14 beanie wearers within the first 10 minutes of arriving) were treated to a sneak preview of the eclectic range, as well as a first glimpse of the brand new MINI Paceman as it took off down the runway in all its ‘Death Moth’ print glory.

The MINI Paceman, the seventh member of the MINI family, boasts a muscular coupé silhouette that incorporates a strong, clearly emphasised wedge shape formed by the downward-sloping roof line and the steadily rising shoulder line. This engaging character is continued in the interior which includes new design elements that create a lounge-like atmosphere.

‘Nasty Goreng’ sees Stolen Girlfriends Club pull back a dusty velvet curtain and peek into the seedy intrigue of a downtown East meets West. With a mix of worn fatigues and kitsch satin, they present a collection that’s both witty and wearable, and features their most daring colour palette to date.

The range boasts an ornate signature print of flower bombs and death moths, set against aqua-mint or black and used in sand-washed silk dresses and blouses. Hand brushed leopard markings in red, and pearly white make their way onto silky jumpsuits & lingerie styled dresses. Lilac lace that features a leopard pattern that comes to life in ball-dresses and contrast panelling.

Back by popular demand are some Stolen staples – the Romance pant and silk wrap short – and for the first time, neoprene is used in full-hemmed prom dresses, jackets and sweat-shirting. Soft, desert-wash linen is used in day dresses and the story ends with a demure cluster of black silk-blend jacquard for the girls.

In menswear, the offering is easy; layered waterproof jackets, moth-eaten knits, oversized wool shorts, waterproof pleated pants and a heavy-duty wool biker jacket are among the key pieces alongside signature print shirts and tee’s. The silk bomber is going to be a clear favourite among the fashion pack. A nod to Versace sees an antique gold tiger embroidered onto the back, also working its way onto sweatshirts and tee’s.

I have to say, although damned cold in the carpark – Stolen Girlfriends Club certainly know how to put on a show!  Check out some of the highlights from the event…

DIY These Leopard Head Loafers…

A while ago I posted a pic of these loafers on my Facebook page and was immediately inundated with emails, comments and tweets from people asking where they could purchase them from.   Sadly, these loafers aren’t sold here in New Zealand, however you can purchase them from the US and/or online and they range in price anywhere between US$30 to $350.  With that in mind I pondered ‘just how hard could it be to make these?’  The answer – damn easy!

I found the EXACT same leopard head embellishments in K-Mart for just $6.  They’re actually a necklace, but I soon DIY’d these bad boys off their chains and straight onto my shoes.  These are stock-standard necklaces in K-Mart (in the US I’m assuming they are probably in Target) so I know you can still buy them in-store now.  Then I grabbed 2 for $25 loafers from Rubi and I was good to go!

Here’s a step by step guide to making your own ‘leopard head loafers’ just in time for winter.  I do love a good pair of loafers in winter!

Here’s what you’ll need:
Leopard Embellishments
Loafers/Ballet flats
A Marker Pen (I used a white marker from Typo, as it’s white it’s easier to see on black fabric)
Super Glue
A Ruler
Pliers

1. Remove leopard embellishment from chain with pliers

2. Mark out on each shoe where you want the embellishment to sit (this way you can ensure it sits evenly on both shoes)

3. Attach the embellishments directly onto your shoes

Now, I didn’t add the gold embellishment to the tips of the shoes as shown in the original photo (thats just personal preference) however if you wanted to do this you could, as they have the gold tips available at Spotlight and you can just attach those with super glue as well.
