twenty8twelve by sienna miller

I absolutely adore this collection.

I am not by any means a Sienna Miller fan. I've been told she is a style icon and while I don't disagree, I am not a fan of her style. I prefer structure and simplicity while she is more boho and crazy. She takes risks that I never would.

When I heard she had a line out, I dismissed it almost immediately. Actually, I'm pretty sure I have never seen anything from it until today after browsing the Neiman Marcus Private Sale.

And now, I absolutely adore this collection.

Twenty8Twelve Jacket $430, Bow-tie Dress $460

This outfit has a very romantic feel to it. The dress is a stunning colour and the bow is a fantastic accent. The tuxedo jacket is the perfect accessory.

Twenty8Twelve Cropped Leather Jacket $550, Tank $230, Skinny Jeans $260

These pieces are a bit edgier. The detailing at the back of the jacket is very pretty. I'm not sure I'd pay $230 for a tank, especially one as unappealing as this, but it complements the jacket nicely.

Sienna Miller, not that you care, but you have my eternal respect for designing such gorgeous clothing. Even if you do wear pantyhose alone in public.

tis the season to be jolly

Sale season has arrived. Neiman Marcus has their 30% Private Sale today only, Nordstrom just began their Half-Yearly sale and Saks' Preview ends today.

Time to get your shop on!

the christmas book

I arrived home last weekend to find that my Christmas season highlight had arrived - the hard copy of the 100th Anniversary Edition Neiman Marcus Christmas Book.

The clothing is great and everything, but I had to skip right to the fantasy presents. This year did not disappoint with everything from artwork (chocolate paintings) to a conversational robot. And who knew a private classical concert would cost more than a submarine?

It is currently available online for your perusal as well.

Old news, but Neiman Marcus is celebrating its 100th birthday with exclusives across its wide array of designers. My favourite is their limited edition Balenciaga City in a rich turquoise-blue colour and giant gunmetal hardware, pictured below.

If Harper's Bazaar can agree that the Motorcycle handbags are now considered classic, this baby will be worth a fortune in a few years as its quantities are very limited.

I still love my Ink more.

the resort previews are already out!

It seems as though the fashion weeks just ended. We're still in autumn mode, but designers are releasing their Resort collections to department stores already. They're looking good.

I'm rather fond of the new Stella McCartney. Linens, warm pink and purple florals and pale green give it a light, spring-like mood.
