Is it deja vu? If looking at this apartment gives you the eery feeling that you’ve seen it, and loved it, all before that’s probably because it is the work of Ryan Korban whose home I featured recently. This bedroom has the same luxe feel, with light grey walls (which I want), furs, shiny metals, and expertly chosen artwork.
I hope you’ve all survived the weekend! Sadly, one member of my shoe family did not.
Last night (Saturday) I went out for dinner and drinks and was pumped to wear a brand new pair of Jeffrey Campbell boots for the first time, but while walking to dinner I felt a riiiiiiiiiiiip – the heel of the shoe had completely separated from the sole! The whole sole was just flapping off my foot every time I took a step. QUE DESASTRE! I could already feel the other sole was starting to rip too.
I played it off, I walked, danced, and worked it like nothing was wrong but on the inside.. I was silently mourning the death of my JC’s. How cheap. How poorly made. I mean I still love you Jeffrey but that was a major blow to the relationship. How can I trust you now?? How can I trust that this was a one-off mistake and it won’t happen again? Without trust, I don’t know if it’ll ever be like before, maybe we should just be friends.
If I weren’t wearing my (defunct) Jeffrey Campbell’s and leather jacket-skirt combo, this is what I would have liked to wear..

This girl has perfect taste in summer dresses. I believe the first is Zara and the second is H&M. And how adorable are her sunglasses with the chain, and that saddle bag. I think I wanna try the chain on a pair of Ray-Bans, cute and convenient!
QUICK! HURRY! GO!
Just to prove my point, here is Ida Rislow from A Perfect Guide in her realdeal MiuMiu’s. Can you even tell the difference?
Don’t forget to enter SHIPFREE at the checkout for free shipping! (If you spend over $40 – which you can achieve by buying this shoe in solid black and flower print)

Last night I attended the opening show of Sydney Fashion Festival, “a retrospective showcase of the most inspiring looks to be sent down the runway over the past 15 years.” The show included looks from Sass & Bide, Zimmerman, Akira, Alex Perry, Lisa Ho (who I sat behind!), and so many more. I had an incredible view of all the looks and guess who… Gala from am-lul’s closet! I’ve been following her blog for years so seeing her in person pretty much reduced me to fan girl status (play cool Cristina, play cool).
Here are the photos I took at the show..
Hope you all had a beautiful weekend! I actually played laser tag at a birthday party yesterday and MAN I’m sore. Running in a squat position for 30 minutes really worked a number on my thighs. Youch. Now getting ready for the week to start.
Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival week to be exact. Super excited to go to my first shows!
What to wear??? I don’t know yet. But judging by these photos, I need an animal print clutch, stat.

Here’s Sandra from 5 inch and up in a genius lil diy skirt made from a button up shirt! No alterations involved, just a sneaky steal from her bf’s closet. Must try!
I imagine you just slip the shirt up to your waist, (don’t do the top few buttons) and tie the sleeves in a knot… it sounds super easy in my head. Yet to see if the real life execution goes as smoothly.
