iPhones, the new black (or, how to survive fashion week)

There's something taking over the fashion scene worldwide. It's got more cult-worshippers than Alexander Wang. It's more powerful than a pair of Louboutins. And it's got a bigger price mark-up than Australian Zara...

What is it? Well, I'm guessing that you read the heading and ruined whatever enjoyment was to be had from my clever brew of fashion jargon and witticism. Too bad.

Man Repeller explores the wonders of this must have accessory

This little piece of Apple genius has taken over the fashion industry - one blogger at a time. Forget the Proenza Schouler satchel, this is the only thing you need at fashion week!

To ensure the preservation of your fashion cult status and any fashion week, you must do as follows:

NEVER be caught standing alone and not on your iPhone. The only acceptable time to be alone is when you are clacking the pavement in stilettos, jumping in to cabs, or posing for street photographers. If you ever find yourself in this undesirable state, whip out your iPhone and pretend to tweet/instagram. For some reason, only iPhones can provide you with a barrier of safety that says "hey, I'm not alone - I'm actually super important and too busy to mingle with my two million friends".

Buy some ridiculous rubbery iPhone cover from ebay for $2, insert iPhone in to cover, take photos of everything and hold the phone high and proud. Flaunt it like it's limited edition Dolce & Gabbana. No one can tell the difference.

Never be caught without it. Never.

Life According to Instagram

Here is a glimpse of my life according to my Instagram feed.

Origami warriors on the runway. Reminds me of my childhood. I wish I could sew with this level of skill, my simple-gathered dresses always end up looking like a mop.

Yes, it's that time of year again. That time when I miss bed time every night and endeavour on a hunt to the shops after work the next day for everything and anything that resembles what I saw on the catwalks last night. All because I am a trend hoard. 

Two months later, when I visit the shops with the bestie, she will come to realise that the neon pink sweater she's been bagging me out about 6 months ago was in fact AHEAD of trend...and how badly she wants one now. 

Moving from me to the point of this post, I am currently loving the new Alice + Olivia fall collection! Oh, the baroque and glorified glass! This is one of those collections that I look at and think "wow, I don't have to wait till I'm a high class fashion blogger to be able to wear this!"

Alice + Olivia's always been so wearable and in tune with my fashion heart. I'll take metallic cobalt any day! I'm dead serious that any piece from this collection will compliment any type of wardrobe. 

And that final floral jacket with the matching skirt. I die!

Not sure about the sneakers though. Errrgh.
