End of Summer Essentials | Rabbit On The Run

Spring has gone and summer is ending but none of this stopped me from indulging in a few pieces that screamed both. Before I left for my final hols trip I grabbed a few essentials from a label that intrigues me, Rabbit On The Run. Sans some of the cheesy props {black bananas, spears, and roped ankles} their clothes are worth every penny. The silk hand-printed tunic above from their S/S 2010 collection has gotten me nothing but compliments. As well as the baker tunic skirt below (comes in leggings too) — it's a great conversation piece. I've also purchased a piece that I will wear to the Rock The Bells festival. I know label overload, but I couldn't resist. Visit to see more of their S/S 2010 collection before it's all gone!

Blog The Closet | Bruno Bordese

Today's Blog the Closet is an ode to Italian designer Bruno Bordese and his decadently beautiful shoes. Ever since I purchased a pair of his shoes last year I've been hooked! His shoes are often wickedly sexy without being over-the-top or in your face. He knows how to make the wearer and the shoes become one. His beauties come in suede and the softest leather on earth! Visit to explore more of his A/W 09-10 collection.

Blog The Closet | Premiata

I still find no better representation of a brand than the images they create for the message they want to project, so in this Blog The Closet installment, another favourite of mines is Italian brand Premiata by Grazziano Mazza. I own a few pair of their shoes — which will finally get their debut this week. It's a solid brand with solid offerings. A bit more than contemporary and a bit less than the super glam, and pretty spot-on for trends without being overt. If you're ever in Milan do stop by their boutique. They also offer online shopping {via The Corner} that seems to only offer the menswear collection now. I'm starting to look harder at their womenswear collection — when I'm in Milan next month I will be taking a closer look. Looks below from their most current collection. Visit + discover more.

I'm a huge fan of their shoes, which are well made and super comfortable despite some of the taller heel heights!

Blog The Closet | Add

I was joking on twitter about how I blog my closet often on here. I have so many quality designer/brands that sit in my closet, I can't resist sharing. As the series progress it will be a mix of photos from the designers and my own personal photos. I finally found a way to share without turning this space into "personal style". I assure you that won't happen, as I like making the items and designers the star of the show.

One of the brands that I simply adore for their outerwear is Italian brand Add! They make amazingly plush jackets and down coats, that are sure to keep you warm without the weight. I kid you not, while these beauties look thick they feel like you're suspended in feathers and they're sharply cut! Take your pick from their Black collection or Icon10, you won't go wrong. And since we're doing the Ice Hotel next summer I know that Add Down will be by my side.
