in her bag

Genevra Leek - Fashion Features Editor

I'm a firm believer that tucked away in the dark recesses of your mind, is a tiny little mini you
who is small parts Tinkerbell and large parts a voyeuristic Tinkerbell. I'm not sure why the Petter Pan
reference is necessary, but magic is always welcome in my life. Now, I don't mean a card-carrying,
night-vision-goggles-using, telescope-owning type of voyeur (but I'm not here to judge) but there's 
always an innate fascination with other peoples' lives etc. I mean, gossip magazines have built
a multi-million industry on it, and we, the public, keep buying it even though it contradicts itself
every second week. 

But I digress, with Australia Fashion Week almost on its last legs, one of the more interesting 
Vogue pieces was a simple "what's in her bag" shoot featuring the Vogue Editors. Without undermining
their fantastic coverage of the shows, this spread on their fashion week handbags lures me the 
same way street style lures me. Runways are always capable of providing a fantasy, it lets you dream 
about the woman you want to be and how you'd want to dress. Street style let's you see that 
translated into the real world, and by that I mean the real world in the fashion sense. 

It's no wonder that the fame of editors such as Christine Centenera are beginning to eclipse 
the traditional fashion muses. Meanwhile, I'm just trying to get my hands on a pair of those
Celine Shadow sunglasses.

MBFW

Day 2 of MBFW in Australia is well under way; as much as I adore Australian designers and the sight of new collections leaves my heart aflutter, I am much more interested in what people are wearing off the runway. Here's a round up of some of my favourite looks so far.

There was a lot of layering going on and more Australian designs being paraded around than you could throw a boomerang at. I'm loving the Ellery Wei Wei skirt in the last picture, considering in investing in one in the green. It's not shopping when you're investing right? Hah. And that Josh Goot jacket, ah-mazing. Can't wait to see more photos, or maybe I should drag my lazy ass out there and do some real life stalking...

Being a woman lady blogger means that there's inevitably a crapload of tabs open on my browser right now. I'm in the search for the perfect peplum top; in a not as much as I want this Ellery jacket but my life would be much more complete way. The Ellery Imperials Top may or may not be the answer to all my prayers. In my mind the fabric was a lot less metallic and the sleeves were a lot more there, to cover my lunch lady arms. 
But in my head I also sort-of kind-of look like Jodi Gordon at the Maticevski show. Maybe, yes.

p.s. yes, i know i used Ellery as an example way more than any one blog entry should allow. But, the heart wants what the heart wants, okay?!
