Soothing
The simplicity that is Hermes; a look at some of the Spring/Summer 2014 pieces that entice us with their elegant clean lines, their liquid forms, their luscious suedes and silks, and their soothing palette.

A Beautiful Scarf
A beautiful scarf is a must for your wardrobe all year round. Knotted, twisted, draped, wrapped, rolled and tucked... it's colour or print serving to lift your mood or to add a touch of 'wow' to your outfit.
I love the warm colours in this gorgeous Hermes scarf draped around the torso just perfectly. I trust there is a clasp or brooch somewhere at the back holding it all together...
Just adding a depth of colour for you today.

Just easing into it...
I'm back from holidays and ready to jump back into the new year... well I'm trying to convince myself of that anyway!
After 2 weeks away in the sunshine (one very luxe week and one very natural bush setting week) - I must admit I'm finding it difficult to get motivated.
There was of course the Menswear shows (that I missed) and the Golden Globes (that I missed - is it too late for that now?) and the announcing of oscar nominees (that I missed) - but I must say it was very relaxing to be off-line for a while. So I'm not going to feel guilty about it... I'm just going revel in the peace and quiet for a few more days and ease myself back into the mayhem.
And while I was away, I was excited to learn that I was the winner of a giveaway that Rachel of 'Little Bits Of Lovely' hosted at the end of last year! So I'm off to pick a pair of fabulous new sunglasses from Vision Direct, then I might make some mini lemon tarts to take to my friend that I'm visiting tomorrow, crumb some chicken for dinner later, and finally when the quiet has settled in for the night, I'll open the latest issue of US Bazaar that just came in the mail this morning - phew, and that's the day!
Hope you're easing yourself into a great week too.

In The Schedule
A long weekend this weekend, plenty of time to relax and do some gardening... or check out some of these links that I stumbled upon during this week...
+ Some gorgeous photos taken by Hedi Slimane himself during fittings for the recent Saint Laurent collection at the houses' headquarters in Paris. Much talked about show, much talked about company logo, much talked about head designer - that's one way to stay in the public eye! More lovely moody pics here via Style.
+ A collaboration with Sergio Rossi and artist Peng Wei which sees the artist using her delicate technique on rice paper boots! Not currently wearable (of course!), they would look absolutely gorgeous on an impromptu gallery wall or downlit shelf at home. Of course, I don't know how that works if you are superstitious ... you know,... can't put shoes or boots on a table (have you heard that one, or is that just me!?) More images here via Because.
+ A while ago I went into Hermes to look at a scarf (I think it was a birthday)... anyway, I was dumbfounded by the array of colours and patterns on offer that I couldn't make a decision (but lets just say I didn't walk out empty handed...haha!) How can one pick one beautiful thing over another?
Take a look at the process of screenprinting a stunning array of colourways onto a Hermes scarf, where some scarves have up to 49 different colours and try and decide for yourself! Sure beats my art class screenprinting efforts... but hey, the process is still the same! More beautiful hues here via Elle Decoration South Africa.
+ I think I'll have some time to take in this exhibition at the NGV that starts this weekend, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Australian Ballet. "Ballet & Fashion" features designs by Australian & International designers, including Collette Dinnigan, Akira Isogawa, Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons, Christian Lacroix, Valentino, Viktor&Rolf and their costumes designed for ballet companies around the world, The Australian Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, Nederlands Dans Theater, Sydney Dance Company and more. There are events, movies, and drawing workshops too... from now until May 2013. I'm really excited by this one... oh and they're showing one of my all time favourite movies, 'The Red Shoes' starring Moira Shearer and will also be screening, 'Valentino: The Last Emperor'!
The exhibition is sponsored by Vogue Australia and is really centred on the fashion and costumes. Here's a look at the photo shoot for Vogue featuring Australian Ballet principle dancers - it's just gorgeous.
Have a great long weekend everyone... and I hope your horse comes in!

+ More images of Chloe's current collection and an interview with current house designer Claire Waight Keller and what it means to be designing for this youthful 60year old French Label. Images by Craig McDean for Interview Mag here.

+ Speaking of creating, the author of Habitually Chic blog has just launched a new book, Habitually Chic at Work gaining access into the studios and ateliers of top designers, artists, editors, architects and showing us a glimpse into their creative domain. The workplaces of Jenna Lyons, Peter Som, Chris Benz and Jonathan Adler to name a few are featured, with interviews giving the reader an insight on how they got there and what keeps them going. A stylish inspiring read if ever I saw one. More pictures here via NYMag.
