Grammy's fashion wrap up!

We think the Grammy's always have the best red carpet looks! It's a time where the celebrities let loose and step down from being so serious and formal with their overall look. This year was no exception, so we give you our top three looks from the red carpet. Trust us...it was VERY hard to choose!

Rihanna in red Alaia gown. One word: Flawless. We really dont know what else to say. Every single little thing about this entire look is PERFECTION!

Kelly Rowland in Georges Chakra Couture. She did sheer and sneaky skin perfectly. Revealing enough to still look like a lady but leaving us wanting so much more...

Carrie Underwood in Roberto Cavalli. Does she ever get it wrong? I don't think we have ever seen her in something that wasn't our cup of tea. This dress is girly and edgy at the same time.

Oh how we wish we had something to attend in a beautful outfit like the above....dreaming....

Tips and tricks to an amazing closet!

I hope 2013 has started off amazing for you! If not, it is only early days and there is plenty of time to turn this year around and make it one to remember. New years for me often bring a time for change and that can only mean one thing....time for a closet revamp!

Here are our tips and tricks to making your closet look perfect!

1. The number one rule we insist you must stick by is ensuring your hangers are all the same colour/style. Even if your clothes are disorganised as long as your hangers are all the same colour it instantly makes your closet uniform, presentable and more put together. They don't have to be all wooden or something pricey. I use all black plastic hangers and theyre the perfect cheaper alternative!
2. Sort your clothes into sections. I sort mine into tops, pants, dresses, skirts & shorts and jackets. This makes it easier to split my closet up into season appropriate sections. You don't have to necessarily follow those groups but try splitting them into something like the above that works for you.
3. Once you split your clothes into groups colour coordinate! This takes your wardrobe from drab to FAB!
4. Organise your shoes together. If you don't have shelving for your shoes invest in some plastic boxes and store them inside or line them along the floor of your closet. You can find great clear shoe boxes at www.pinklily.com.au
5. Organise your handbags together. If you have a top shelf this is where we suggest to line them up against so they're easy to see and access. Alternatively store them in easy to access boxes create more space.
6. Fold any cotton tops, leggings, workout outfits, underwear and swimsuits and store these in drawers or on shelves.

So theres our tips and tricks!

Happy organising!

The Colour of 2013

Hello Beauties!

We would just like to wish you a very Happy and Joyous New Year! We know we're a little bit late but time has gotten to the best of us and we've both been busy getting away and relaxing for a little, but one half of us is back and the other half should be back super soon! 

Moving on; we just wanted to share with you beautiful people the colour that is going to be taking over 2013, and that colour is.... drum rolllllll.... EMERALD!

When we first heard this we were NOT surprised. After Kim K's emerald green wrap dress from the Gucci fall 2012 collection, we just knew that colour was going to take over the fashion world very soon.

And we personally love it! It's different, has a little bit of class to it and we are excited for what else this new year has to bring in the fashion department!

Love Always, HOM

Whats on our Christmas list?

If you could have anything in the world this year for christmas what would you choose?

Well we ask ourselves that about 14 times a day. If only santa could grant every  one of our wishes.

We can dream....right? Here's a little glimpse into our long, extensive, expensive wishlist!


1. Louboutins. Not necessarily the pair featured here. (However these do happen to be our absolute favourite style!). Anything with a red bottom will be accepted!

2. The Birkin. All hale the most luxurious designer bag on the market. Recognisable from a far, this bag screams elegance, sophistaction and money. Oh to dream....

3.  YSL arty ovale ring. Pretty pretty pretty. We'll have one in every colour. Please.....

4.  Hermes Bracelet. We'll also have one of these in every colour please...

5. Tory Burch flats for those comfy days when our feet need a rest from our louboutins (hahaha) 

6. An Abercrombie and Fitch and Victorias Secret Store in Sydney (which is not located in an airport that you cannot access unless you are travelling) Ultimate christmas present!

7. An all expenses paid for HOLIDAY to somewhere beautiful, with crystal clear waters, a topless waiter to serve us drinks, someone to do our hair/nails/makeup, a masseuse on call and sunshine all day long to give us glowing tanned skin.

8. A Shopping Spree and someone to carry our bags ;)

9. A new designer Watch... You can NEVER have enough watches! We need one for every day of the week!

10. Anything that comes in a Tiffany and Co. Box (hint hint)

Now it is most likely that we will receive NOTHING on this list! (but like we said before we can always dream)

Have fun dreaming pretty birds. We hope you get everything on your Christmas lists this year.

Bikini Season

Tis the season to be jolly....and lay at the beach, by the pool, in your backyard, soaking up the beautiful sun, getting a (safe) tan and sipping on some fresh juice while the sun heats your skin. Only if you're in the southern hemisphere though! Being Australian girls, that time of year is fast approaching which can only mean one thing......TIME TO SHOP FOR BIKINIS!

Whilst our bikini body is no where near ready our bikini collection has something else to say. We do have different bikini styles that we like to wear but regardless we know what we love when we see it. One of us has 3 drawers full of every Victoria's Secret bikini you can find. They're affordable, good quality and look amazing (their only downfall is that they don't come with the angel body!). Our favourites don't stop there though. We've sifted through the countless amounts of our most lusted after bikini finds and found the links to purchase them, making it easier for you to add them to your collections!

A.T.G Zip Front Bandeau set $170.00 from Green with envy

Oasis Frill Bikini by Zimmerman $210.00

Vint Check Bandeau Bikini $108.00 by One Teaspoon

River Island Scarf Print Bikini $57.80 from ASOS

Beach bunny swimwear in LOVE GAME from beachbunny

Retro push up top and string bottoms by Victoria's Secret  Approx $85.00

It seems we have a common theme....We love the bandeau top! We totally didn't do that on purpose! but I guess when there is something you just love you are automatically drawn to it!

Have fun lusting over this gorgeous bikinis!

Enjoy HOM xx

Hermes or Air-Mez?

Hello beauties,

So while we were doing our daily dose of catch up on some of our favourite blogs, we can across something really interesting that we thought would interest you as well. And also because we love sharing with you what we learn!

The most amazing thing about fashion is that it brings the world closer together. However what comes along with this is an array of unusual brand names. Some that we just find so difficult to roll off our tongue. To save you (an ourselves) we've compiled a list of the names that we thought we knew (but really didn't!) have fun!

Dolce & Gabbana; Dol-Che & Gabba-na

Haute Couture – oat koo-toor

Hermes – air-mez

Louis Vuitton – lou-ee vee-tonn

Versace – ver-sah-chee

Givenchy – zhee-von-she

Louboutin – loo-boo-ton

Lanvin – lahn-vahn

Yves Saint Laurent – eve sanh la-rahn

Herve Leger – air-vay lay-jay

 Balmain– ball-meh

Isabel Marant- Ees-ah-beel Mar-awn

So you little fashionistas, make sure you add these to your fashion dictionaries and never get caught out again pronouncing something wrong! 

Love HOM

Points

Well, you could definitely say we have a huge obsession with shoes! Not as bad as Carrie Bradshaw, but when we're 35 and living in an apartment in NYC, we're hoping that our shoe collection will be just as luxurious, but for now we can keep dreaming and collecting...

And because we love shoes so much we wanted to share with you our current shoe obsession, which is Pointed Heels.

They are just so beautiful and classy that you can never go wrong with them, well thats what we think! If you've ever had issues with making pointed heels work then we would love to hear from you, but for now we are going to stick to that statement because they are sensational!

No words can even describe their beauty. Therefore we'll just let you admire their beauty with us.. Drooling is accepted!

TIP; The best thing about them is that you can take the most casual outfit you have and simply pair it with some pointed heels and you will look so much classier and chic! Try it... You've got nothing to loose and a new pair of beautiful heels in your closet is never a bad thing!

Love HOM
