The sales continue....

It's still mid year sales everywhere, with further markdowns. Working close by all the main retailers makes it extremely difficult to pass a super sale. One can always wonder by the window pane of a shop front and admire the latest seasons trends.
Karen Millen is a favourite of mine, where I secretly took some snaps of her shiny pumps currently on this seasons clearance items.

Pink - Lamb wool

Stud craze!

I have noticed there is a stud craze happening all around me. All shapes, colours and sizes are the buzz around all fashion jewellers. If you're not quite into big hoops or drop style earrings, but want to add a little colour to your outfit I recommend a cute pair of coloured studs.

With all these mid year sales on, visit your nearest fashion store today to pick up a pair starting from $2.

Donna Karan New York

Donna Karan is an american designer who has been in the fashion domain since the 80s. It is an iconic american brand that has labels Donna Karan New York and DKNY. Australia was fortunate to have a DKNY store open in late 2010, however stockists like Myer, have the latest in handbags and shoes. Many online shoppers would opt for Net A Porter as they hold a vast range of International designer brands.

I like Donna Karan for her sleek and simple styles which dont age and are suited for all seasons.

Every woman has a LBD and with that requires a colour to break the barrier from black. My tip on accessorising a black dress is to opt for red. It's classic, striking and elegant.

Winter 2012

When I think of winter I usually associate brown and gold tones to outfits, shoes and handbags. For the current season I snapped up a chocolate brown Coach handbag with gold trimming. This bag was purchased in Macy's New York, however I recently saw it in David Jones in Elizabeth St Sydney. I love this bag!

Welcome fashionistas!

Connect4Fashion is a place where you can view my latest hot picks from your favourite retailers, browsing through some of my collection or what every girl loves is a crazy sale.

My love for fashion stems from my obsession with shoes, of which I have over 200 pairs. Some may have a love for handbags, belts or dresses, and for others it is accessories. What you will see over time is an array of shoes where most have come from a bargain sale at many of the common shoe retailers like Myer, Wanted & Wittner.

A simple outfit is always best accessoried with a nice pair of heels and a big, bold statement piece of jewellery. Most of my pieces of jewellery (beaded & metal) are from Lovisa, Diva & Sportsgirl.

All of these will be displayed in time to bring you the latest with colours, trends and styles for that perfect outfit.

Sit back and enjoy the fashion fix.

Designer heaven

If you want to really snap up a pair of authentic designer heels, visit the Italian outlet Voi in Sydney where you will find exclusive designer brands at a very low price. Alot of their stock are from previous seasons, however for a fraction of the retail price you can find a classic pair of heels that wont age.
