Wish – Wait For Sunrise Winter Collection ’14

Winter is coming.

Okay we know this isn’t Game of Thrones, but we couldn’t resist!

But it’s true, autumn is upon us and the signs are already showing – today it was dark by 7PM! Farewell long summer days…

However, as summer slowly dwindles away, it really only means it’s time for one thing! Updating your Autumn/Winter wardrobe! Here’s where WISH’s ‘Wait for Sunrise’ 2014 Winter Collection comes in.

WISH has this winter sorted with the perfect collection of edgy, urban and feminine creations. WISH’s winter collection traditionally plays among the familiar sepia and blue based undertones of winter, but with a twist – capturing an autumn sunrise with shades of vibrant reds, blush pinks and pops of magenta.

We’re loving the clean, modern sophistication of this collection and with its geometric patterns, delicate lace and florals, it’s both feminine and elegant. Experimentation with different textures and materials gives WISH’s collection that extra dimension.

So, where’s the oversized coats and the layers of thick-whatever-keeps-you-warm we hear you say? Pfft this is the Australian Winter fool! We brave the 16-degree chill while getting a tan – cause that’s how we do! Pairing a flowy dress with a fitted jacket? Or a lace long sleeve with leather shorts? Check! This juxtaposed look for the season keeps things fresh and Wish has a range of dresses even for the Winter time. Look at the geometric print dress in the promo! Can’t you see yourself strutting in that enjoying the winter nightlife? We do!

Layering heavy fabrics such as knit over lace and mesh textures, makes for a lighter winter silhouette – say goodbye to that winter bulky feel.  These paired with cut out knit details and embossed fabric embellishments makes your winter wardrobe fun!  After all, mixing and matching different elements together = MAXIMUM STYLE COMBINATIONS!!!!

Worried about transitioning between the seasons this Autumn? We know we always are. It’s difficult to find something to wear that isn’t too hot and isn’t too cool. Wish understands. This collection covers all bases by pairing singlet tops with patterned trousers, long sleeved tops with shorts and stylish jackets over your short-sleeved evening dresses. WISH achieves a perfect balancing act to keep you comfy this Autumn and keep you warmer as winter unfolds.

Siree here!

Wow I’m finally back from travels (but that’s for another post sorray!)

Tadah our store set-up. We got a bit high tech with the iPad for the Etude House and Skinfood cosmetics we had on display. It’s all in the details :)

Our variety of “ViVi” inspired vintage items got people curious which was wonderful! Personally, I feel our love for this style is still new and niche for a majority of people but we hope to spread the love around the Sydney scene more! Thanks to Little Treasures Market and Margaret from le petite mademoiselle for having us and to Blackflower Patisserie for all the macarons on the day! Not to mention everyone who came to visit (and to Shu for hanging out with us!) :)

My favourite piece from the stuff I got was this two-piece matchy set. So cute for that summer-by-the-pool kind of vibe. No doubt the person who bought it also thought it was adorbs!

The weather in Sydney has been pretty shiot lately I must say. Cold, rainy than a hint of sun just to tease us blah! But I capped off the busy week with some festive Thanksgiving dinner at Neutral Bay with the home sick office folk!

Couldn’t get past all the pumpkin hype! Got some pumpkin ale from Seattle to wash everything down.

The menu includes honey glazed ham, prime rib and oven-roasted turkey, cornbread, stuffing, *gasps for air* green beans, candied yams, sweet potato pie, succotash and mash potatoes. Absolutely yummo! Dessert was pecan, apple and pumpkin pie! Would’ve liked it more if there was the whole pie and not a tasting plate because family style all the way!

If you came to our blogshop let us know what you thought! We might have another one so stay tuned and make sure you follow us on facebook and instagram!

 Until next time!

Inspo Crush: MURUA SS13 Collection

Siree here!

Though winter fashion is a lot of fun to wear, I’ve been hunting for some inspo for my spring time wears to show and tell.

MURUA is a Japanese MODE brand for those who don’t know and I must say, it is one of my favourite brands – out of the many on my heart list – because of my little obsession with the producer Momoko Ogihara and her style. She even has a make up style called the “Momoko Blush” that many Japanese girls emulate which is to put blush on the higher parts of your cheekbone.  How amazing is that! To have such influence in the daily fashion of young girls?

But I digress. The collection concept for Murua’s Spring Summer 2013 is called “Futuristic Mermaid.”

Futuristic Mermaid

In the world of crystal clear sea,

you find a romantic and dreamy mermaid.

Soft and feminine colors meet hard and transparent decoration

~ the combination brings you a new futuristic world

So what does a “futuristic mermaid” look like? The creative minds at Murua came up with this image for their campaign…

Super pretty no?

Browsing through their catwalk photos I can certainly see the images of being a “mermaid” with different sized sequins, fishnet mesh facial wear, plastic outerwear and bauble bubble accessories complimenting the green, blue and aqua hues with watercoloured flower prints.

Super feminine, street classy with a nice edge. So which are my bias picks from the collection?

I want these metallic oxford lace ups!! It appeared in last season’s line but dayum!! Still want!

…I might need to buy this ASAP… only if it came with that outer piece lol
I noticed the use of “plastic” material is very in-trend at the moment but only in shoes. Call me crazy but I wouldn’t mind having these little structures wrapped around me. Maybe Lady Gaga patent the look for herself LOL
If you want to purchase any pieces, unfortunately they are only available through Japanese websites but head over to Runway Webstore if you know your Japanese.
