I was lucky enough to take a trip down to sequin wonderland, otherwise known as a preview of the Aje SS12/13 collections held at the Hush Communications showrooms.
Details included laser cut outs on leather and of course, sequins which were easily the highlight of the collection. You could really see where the hours and effort spent hand-beading went – words could not explain just how exquisite some of these pieces were.
As the name suggests, the Shipwrecked Ball collection is one that symbolises the sea; with the sequins representing barnacles that you would find on rocks down by the ocean.
These photos don’t really do the collection much justice, so to check out more photos of the entire collection that was shown at MBFWA, head over to the Aje Facebook page.

When the lovely Dea from Dea Lopes Boutique got in touch with me and asked me to visit her store, I was looking forward to it as it is always a treat discovering new, little boutiques around Sydney – and especially, close to where I live.
Dea Lopes Boutique is located in Mosman in Sydney – a beautiful suburb in which I actually went to high school in. I was somewhat surprised I hadn’t visited the store before considering that it’s only about 20 minutes away from my place.
As soon as I stepped foot into Dea Lopes, I was welcomed with a very beautiful fragrance – that being a combination of fresh flowers and a scented Glasshouse candle burning on the table. This immediately left me in a relaxed mood, which was perfect for perusing through the racks of gorgeous designer pieces.
Dea Lopes Boutique boasts a range of iconic Australian labels including Samantha Wills, Sass and Bide, Talulah, Rachel Gilbert, Shakuhachi, Maurie and Eve, Steele and Bec and Bridge – just to name a handful. My favourite piece at the store was the incredible leather suede patchwork dress by Talulah (as pictured above).
If you’re in Sydney, or plan on visiting – I would recommend checking out both Dea Lopes Boutique, as well as the suburb of Mosman. If you make plans on going to Taronga Zoo, you’re actually not too far away from either so you might as well!
Find Dea Lopes at:
Shop 2/571 Military Rd
Mosman, NSW
2088
And… if you can’t make it to Sydney, don’t worry because Dea Lopes will be opening their online store very soon, so you’ll be able to get your Dea Lopes fix no matter where you are!
In the meantime, be sure to LIKE Dea Lopes on Facebook to stay in the loop about the e-store opening, in-store news and upcoming designer labels that you’ll expect to see at Dea Lopes.

Burning Man has been in the top five of my bucket list for a while now, however when I discovered these amazing photographs that were captured by Scott London, it reminded me again of why I need to experience Burning Man in the flesh, at least once in my life.
Now because I have never actually been to Burning Man, it’s a bit hard for me to explain to you what it actually is. Scott has been documenting Burning Man for the past eight years of his life, and he explains it to be:
“The event is a week-long celebration of free-form creativity and radical self- expression held each summer in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. Burning Man is hard to describe. It’s not quite an art festival, not quite a desert rave, and not quite a social experiment — but something of all three.“
What appeals to me most about Burning Man is it’s extremeness. Where and when on this planet will you ever see 50,000 people come together for a week and build a town from scratch? Not to mention all the crazy outfits and custom-made, over-the-top vehicles! It’s all of this, and the idea of escaping to Black Rock Desert, getting amongst the week-long development and becoming whoever you want to be for a week that seems to really excite me.
Check out all of Scott’s photographs from Burning Man 2011.

Wearing: Forever Yours Dress, c/o Show Pony. Stars and Stripes Hi-Tops, Converse. Spiked Headband and Sunglasses, ASOS.
Making the most of this weekend’s sunshine, firstly by heading out for a skate after breakfast this morning.
The Forever Yours dress was kindly gifted to me by the lovely girls at Show Pony. My skate attire never really consists of anything skirt/dress related, however this number was both comfortable and the perfect length to allow me to skate without flashing anybody!

Wearing: Striped Jeans, c/o Boohoo Australia. Angora Sweater, Acne. Boots, Jeffrey Campbell via Solestruck. Ring, c.o Equip. Necklace, custom made by Sadie.
Does this place look familiar to you? That’s right, I’m back at Kawa for my second, consecutive personal style post!
Wearing these ‘Beetlejuice’-esque jeans that were kindly gifted to me by Boohoo Australia, as well as this Angora-blend Acne sweater – not only was I warm, but I was comfortable too (something that I have been prioritizing lately when it comes to dressing myself).
This shot was taken in literally the couple of minutes that were left of light, prior to rushing off to get an up close and personal look at the SS12 Miss Unkon collection. More on that later.

Some of the looks and details that stood out to me at the New Generation 2 show during MBFWA.
So much want for Spring/Summer – first on the wishlist are those neon Ash To Gold heels and that pyramid-shaped bag.
