Label love: Tucker

Understandably some will call us shallow (hell, we do it all the time), but there’s nothing quite like the thrill of something shiny and new. Like this gorgeous new label we’ve just discovered at Shopbop.com, Tucker. And while it may sound like an American quarter back /big man on campus, Tucker is in fact about to become a very big man, err sorry, big influence in our wardrobes. We love the flattering feminine cuts and bold prints, and while it’s all stunning it’s not too trendy (aka you’ll be reaching for these pieces again and again). Go tucker, go!
Buy it now:
Tie waist dress, $US315, Shopbop
Ikat print top, $US264, Shopbop
Maxi dress, $277.20, shopbop.com

Sole Mates: Hot studs
Jun 26, 2009Add to your faves
According to the word on the street right now it’s hip to be square. However it is also infinitely better to just be plain old studly!
Now of course if you weren’t born with rippling abs, permanently baby oiled skin or your own private wind machine it can be hard to project your true studliness out into the world, or you could just wear these almost Louboutin heels from Top Shop. Hmmm… it’s a tough one (literally).

Style blog: Havis by night

It’s going to be too cold for these bad boys for quite a while yet, but we still had to share them with you anyway. Havaianas are trying to prove they are just as cool by night as by day with a new range of, wait for it, glow in the dark things. Kind of pointless for a sunny summer’s day, but we’re super excited about them just the same. View the US styles here.

Dreaming of an O/S trip? Book yours now for Mid November, and preferably somewhere like London or NY or anywhere with an H&M store. Why? Because Jimmy Choo has just announced their H&M collaborative line of bags, clothes and more importantly shoes! If you need any more of an incentive just think of it this way. If you pick up 3-4 pairs of Choos on the cheap, you’ve probably already paid for your holiday! Works for us. The Jimmy Choo for H&M range hits stores November 14.
Bag ladies: Steal Mischa’s bags
Jun 22, 2009Add to your faves
Mischa Barton may have been loitering around at the bottom of the 'Not' lists these last couple of years, but she is about to be back in a truly major way (no really, she is!). And with all the spare time she's had from not even trying to coordinate her outfits each morning, she's managed to produce a pretty decent handbag collection, which is also pretty reasonably priced. Sounds pretty 'hot' to us. SHOP IT
