KNOTS AND KNITS





Knots and Knits are a collection of homemade bags made by Megan Todd a local designer from Brisbane. Her choice of high visibility rope and knitting techniques are to die for and show what Australian designers are made of. These masterpieces are actually made by needles the size of tent pegs and the angles of the knitting make it impossible for your belongings to fall through the cracks. They express individuality and with the bright hand selected colours add attitude to any outfit. The texture of these bags is fascinating and showcase the designers free spirit when designing these must have bags.


So have a look yourself you wont be disappointed.

OLIVER BAGS

Oliver handbags are off the chain! This Australian bag designer has taken bags and clutches to the next level. Although the see through bags have already been out from major designers like Jimmy Choo, these bags have more of a street edge and lets me honest, they are half the price!! 
By adding neon straps, stitching and fringes into the mix these clutches cannot be missed. These bags are a must have this season, just remember your bag is see through so keep notice of what you put in it!!! Here are some more styles from Oliver! She is awesome and I hope to see more out of her in seasons to come.

Style Queen KATE BOSWORTH



One of my fashion icons is Kate Bosworth. Her careless and unique style also holds a lot of elegance within her wardrobe choices, whether its for the red carpet, to day wear and festival wear. She is rather conservative in the way of the lengths in her dresses but seems to hold this sexy vibe about her with her styles and colours of dresses she picks. Her style is boho mixed with punk rocker mixed with vintage girl. If she wears a summer dress she mixes it with boots, if she wears daggy jeans and a T-shirt she wears a pair of amazing high heels. She knows the balance between what she wears and how far she can go.

Now Kate loves a good festival being a regular at Glastonbury and Coachella every year. She keeps her outfit simple and comfortable cause there is nothing more annoying then worrying about a wardrobe mishap at a festival. Kicking around usually in denim shorts and a t-shirt with some stylish boots then adding some lipstick and black big glasses she looks effortless and festival ready. Kate also knows how to rock gumboots or some wood say wellies. These photos just show the more simple your outfit the better.








Im pretty much obsessed with this outfit. She knows how to rock a red carpet. This cute grey owl sweater compliments the frill grey lounge fabric skirt. The black bow belt moulds the sweater perfectly into the skirt and makes it easy to accessorise a basic black clutch with the outfit. Her ankle high heeled boots are a perfect colour matching the beak of the owl if you can notice. They give her outfit a more grungy look and not so office like. Her choice of making her hair all messy and pulled back compliments her natural make-up. So all round this is one of my favourite outfits she has worn and one of my favourite of the winter season. So if you need some handy hints on how to look amazing look up Kate Bosworth. She kills it every time.

MIX-MATCH

Mix-Matching patterns, colours and prints is here and it's here to stay. And who wouldn't love doing it. Who would of had the guts to stand out in public wearing a spotted blouse like this Minkpink one with a pair of floral trousers from Boohoo.com? These days anything goes and the further you go with mixing colours, prints and patterns the better. Bright colours are here so have fun with them and don't be scared. 







Adding a bright pair of high heels would suit this perfectly. Just remember not to over do the jewellery as your outfit is already speaking for itself. So put your hair in a bun on the top of your hair and add some lipstick and your ready to hit the town. A bright clutch would also add the extra bit of edge that your looking for.










Now here is a example of wearing bright colours and mixing prints. Rachel Bilson is definitely a fashion icon who has been around for years and never puts a foot wrong. Her choice of tailored pants to match the floral design blouse fits perfectly but by adding a pair of leopard heels the outfit has been lifted and made stand out.







So here is an outfit that can be purchased on the website MarketHQ.com. These pants are made by Staple the Label. They are $130 which is a little bit expensive if your on a budget but they are made of silk. They are a 3/4 pant and the cut and material will help them sit well on most body shapes.







Jessica Hart has released her own designs which show her style and character through the designs. This floral blouse design has some amazing colours and will suit many outfits other then this one. The blouse is $120 but it is designed and selected by Jessica Hart herself so we should expect to pay a little bit more. The colours in this blouse will compliment the Staple pants which is exactly the look we are going for.




Add these Leopard print high heels from ALDO online for $50 and we have made a outfit that looks just like Rachel Bilson's red carpet look. Just remember to step outside the box and 
MIX_MATCH!!!!!!!!

German Sausage Dog Apparel



Last night I realised while playing with my friends sausage dogs Basil and Pepper that these super cute dogs definitely enjoy wearing their coats in winter to keep warm. Now I know dressing your dog up has become rather large throughout the years so I decided to look through different websites not only dog ones to see what is on offer to dress your favourite pets in your life!

These dog sweaters come off a site called pawspoint.com and only cost about $30 they come in a few colours and if you have a two dogs both from different genders this is definitely a big help! 














Also on pawspoint.com I found this amazing ibone Hoodie and i instantly fell in love. The screen printing of the ear phones and ipod are genius. 












 On American Apparel they have a dog section making extra cute singlets, tees and hoodies for most dog sizes. This plain hoodie comes in a range of colours and even comes in neon for this and next seasons colour fix!
This basic ribbed singlet is perfect for summer but also perfect for under the plain hoodie. It comes in a range of colours also and try and mix and match colours between the singlets and hoodies to make the outfit more fashionable and also dress with colours more appropriate to the sex of your dog.




So who knew that dog dressing has come this far that clothes stores are bringing in a range to dress your favourite pets in your life. You can shop for them and yourself at once! Now thats a win!!! Here's Basil my friends Sausage Dog! Way to adorable not to want to dress him up!!!

The leggings are well priced at around $75 and come in a range of colours, patterns and bright eye catching designs. Nothing can beat a good pair of leggings that stand out from the crowd!




Whether its for day wear or night time there is always a pair that can fit your mood. Check out these gold metallic tights they look amazing and a perfect for a night out on the town with a few girlfriends. The boxed/triangular pattern gives the leggings a different dimension and who wouldn't stare at these? Add a plain tee thats all you need the leggings speak for themselves and if its cold all a black blazer and your set to rock the town with the girls





I love these Galaxy Leggings they are appropriate for nighttime and daytime use. The colouring in all the galaxy tights has been selected flawlessly and lets be honest we all have dreamt of being in space, this way they are on your legs for all to see. Have fun with these leggings adding over sized tops/tees, sneakers and even a wide brimmed hat for a festival would make you stand out from the crowd and make all the girls drool. 

And the basic Beatle Juice tights as we know are always a winner. These will help make your legs look longer. Just remember to have fun with your leggings. The funnier/louder the better!!! And lets all be honest leggings are so much more comfortable then jeans!!! So if you haven't already been on blackmilk.com jump on there and check out whats available!!!!
