Aussie Obsession

Been noticing a slight obsession in the general public with Australian models lately...

1. Miranda Kerr
She's married to Orlando Bloom, she's a Victoria's Secret angel, and she is insanely beautiful. What more could you want??




We are loving her Rag & Bone DIY project pictures. Check em out here. Did you know that all the shots from New Zealand were by her hubby Orlando? So adorable. Can't handle it.

2. Abbey Lee Kershaw
Runway supermodel with a current campaign for Versace. She also did a Rag & Bone DIY project, but it's slightly more x-rated. We love her dark, sort of drug-addict, alternative style. She is just so COOL!

3. Isabel Lucas
OK so she's really an actress (but not a particularly good one, so let's just stick with model). She's been appearing in heaps of editorials lately and also modeled for Asos! She is a true blue Aussie beauty. We love her bohemian style.




Who is your favourite?

Palazzo Please

There is a big trend in big pants.

As worn on the runway:

John Galliano/ Dries Van Noten/ Hermes

Rouland Moret/ Sportmax

As worn by anyone who is anyone:

Clockwise: Karla's Closet/ Kourtney Kardashian/ The Glamourai/ Fashion Toast/ Shine by Three

Makes sense really:

1) They are super comfy

2) They create length and make you look taller

3) They look smart

4) They translate from casual to formal

5) Hide those thunder thighs or give yourself some shape

You can purchase some of your own right here on the thepoplook! We're loving all the different colours available too:

Jesse Palazzo Pants Mustard/ Jesse Palazzo Pants Black/ Perry Pants Grey

Perry Pants Blue/ Paul Pants Blue/ Dart Pants Blue

Shoulder Cut-out

I've been seeing this trend around quite a bit lately. Shirts, tees, blouses, with the shoulder corner cut out. I guess it's a clever, unexpected way of showing a little skin and still be quite conservative. Bought a pretty floral blouse with shoulder cutouts on my last shopping trip. Paired it casually with my shorts and flats the other day, and when my mom saw it, she said, "What are you wearing lah? Hole here hole there.. I said, "Mom, it's called fashion!". She shakes her head.

So what do you think of the shoulder cut-out? Fashion trend or here to stay?

Skinny Vs. Wide Leg

I read an article on Style: Magazine recently. It was about the change of popular taste in denim, noting a shift from skinny to wide-leg. It pointed out head-buyers in the states that have gone from stocking skinnies to the opposite - picking out only wide-legged ones. This got me thinking about my own stack of skinnies... Are they really going out of style? *cries*

If you have been on Thepoplook.com's Facebook page recently, you would have seen our recent poll on the two styles. 51 votes for the skinny and 23 for the wide-leg. Hmm.. maybe the author was wrong afterall!

But then again, there's this new cult denim brand, MOTHER jeans and in a recent interview, Tim Kaeding, the Creative Director was asked:

Q~ Which styles were the most popular among buyers?

A~ “Almost every boutique placed orders for The Wilder and The Drama!"

And yes, they are both wide-legged jeans.






















I guess only time will tell. But what do you think? Are we witnessing a tectonic-shift in the denim world?

POPPY: Collection II

Current Obsession: Anton Heunis

Ok, so I was shopping on GILT.com the other day. Tom Binns jewellery was on sale and I was just about to purchase these perfect pair of earrings when the dreaded "Sold Out" sign flashed on my screen. Hate it when that happens!

The only silver lining when something sells out at Gilt is that they offer you something similar. And in my case, I was introduced to a relatively-unknown label - Anton Heunis.

Of course, I clicked on them right away and wow.. now I'm obsessed with his creations! Described as "Modern-Vintage", I think this oxymoron really does sum up what his collections are all about. Take a look :)
