Posted in Fashion - Written by siobhan on January 21, 2012 - 0 CommentsU. S based designer, Tom Binns, was crowned 2006 accessory designer of the year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. It’s not hard to see why. Check out these fabulously flamboyant designs which come from more than three decades of success.
Plain and Simple is Best
Posted in Miscellaneous Moss - Written by siobhan on January 14, 2012 - 0 CommentsThere’s nothing quite like simplicity – a simple hug, deed or greeting can make your day, alter your mood, transform your world. A simple conversation, moment of clarity, gesture of good will usually has the same effect. Equally, seeing something like a flock of birds in flight, your favourite band or a much loved friend may provide joyous memories. Many of us fill our worlds with so much clutter and chatter, that sometimes it pays to focus on the simple things in life.
The world according to Einstein.
A startling image of birds in flight - such a simple delight.
Yes please! Sounds simply wonderful!
Fashion Notes: Bridal Fashion
Posted in Fashion - Written by siobhan on January 13, 2012 - 0 CommentsIt’s hard to imagine that I was married around a decade ago. Time has flown. Fashion-wise I’d do the same, all over again. I wore: ostrich plumes in a well crafted beehive; a luxurious, creamy fur wrap, teamed with a retro-esque Thai silk cocktail dress; and cream heels covered in material to match. It was a fairly relaxed affair in a wonderful location in the King Valley, Victoria, Australia. These days, there’s no need to look like a meringue or a cotton wool ball (God forbid!!). There are so many styles on offer – no colour, look or vibe is out of the question. My sister-in-law was married in a bright orange frock, that actually, looked rather lovely…

Fashion Notes: Cowboys and Indians
Posted in Fashion - Written by siobhan on January 12, 2012 - 0 CommentsI know that NYE 2011 is soooo twenty seconds ago, but the party I went to was a cracker. The theme for the night was the “Wild West” and guests turned up in Apache patterns, fringing, denim, sheriff neckties and the like. One guest even wore a noose around his neck! Scary. All this has got me thinking of Americana saloon style circa 1870. I came across a great site this morning called ASOS that features an entire section on Americana, with some of the following items available for sale. Yeee haaa!

Women: Wear Pants at Your Peril!
Posted in Fashion - Written by siobhan on January 11, 2012 - 0 CommentsIsn’t this nuts? Women who wear pants in Paris are breaking the law. It’s hard to believe, but this 200-year-old police rule has never been struck from the books. According to historian Christine Bard, author of Political History of Trousers which retraces the history of the garment from the French Revolution to the modern-day, ”in 1800, a decree by the police prefecture banned women from wearing trousers unless they had specific authorisation. The rule was never repealed – it still stands.” In light of this incredulous information, I’d like to celebrate women who wear pants. Here are some of histories finest wearing-the-pants-moments.

MISS MOSS loves Fabulous Vintage
Posted in Design - Written by siobhan on January 10, 2012 - 0 CommentsI came across a great vendor called Fabulous Vintage at the Kirribilli Markets on Sunday. Bridget sources rare vintage fabrics, mostly from the UK, and transforms the colourful meterage into gorgeous cushions, bags, lampshades and such. She also offers an interior design consultancy service, which means she comes to your home and helps you make it look fabulous. See more images on the Fabulous Vintage facebook page. Following are some images of the fabrics that Fabulous Vintage has at present, with more set to arrive in around a fortnight. I simply can’t work out which one I like best – they’re all so sensational.
Linda Jackson: Bush Couture
Posted in Fashion - Written by siobhan on January 4, 2012 - 0 CommentsFROM the Sturt Desert pea to the kangaroo, Australian fashion designer Linda Jackson has shown us that we don’t need to look beyond our own backyards for inspiration. The name behind the influential Bush Couture studio is the focus of an exhibition set to open at the National Gallery of Victoria on 26 January 2012. The exhibition will feature more than 35 works which explore the first twenty years of Jackson’s career, including her days with designer Jenny Kee at Sydney boutique Flamingo Park in the 1970s. For more, check out the National Gallery of Victoria’s website. Not to be missed.

And what a great way to refresh your look with this neon-yellow resin necklace. Style advisors from mega fashion hub Net-A-Porter suggest wearing this loud fluoro piece against a colour-block sweater for clashing cool.

MIU MIU Rockin’ Retro Earrings
Posted in Fashion - Written by siobhan on January 2, 2012 - 0 CommentsDon’t you just adore these MIU MIU gingham and plexiglass crystal clip earrings? They’re so playful, whimsical and retro. In fact, they look a bit like lollies and I want to eat them! Fashion advice from Net-A-Porter is to wear them with “swept-up hair and a flash of red lipstick for guaranteed evening glamour.” Sounds delightful.

The Towering World of Jimmy Choo
Posted in Fashion - Written by siobhan on December 31, 2011 - 0 CommentsMy husband knows me well. In my Santa sack this year was a copy of The Towering World of Jimmy Choo by Lauren Goldstein Crowe and Sagra Maceira de Rosen. It’s only NYE, but I’ve already ploughed through it. This fabulous book follows the establishment of Jimmy Choo as a modern luxury brand from its humble beginnings to the multi-million dollar empire that it is today. This is a must-read for fashionista’s (and shoe fetishists) but also entrepreneurial types and/or those with an interest in business.
