Current & Past Favorites

Love This Look ~ Grey City Day
This styled look I have done reminds me of Dull cloudy day in the city. When its cold outside and there is a possible chance of rain, I still want to look fashionable & stay warm. The clothing I have chosen are a combination high end and low end prices, allowing everyone to enjoy this look themselves. Alternative choices/brands are included: Jacket: Burberry OR APC Long sleeve: Top Shop OR Target (very easy to chop&cut) Jeans: One Teaspoon OR Second hand Vinnies pair (DIY- cut, chop or distress) Flats: Ruby shoes OR Markets. 

Year 10 2011 Formal
My very first formal consisted of: a spray tan, make up, a professional hair style, shoes, pre's, after's and ofcourse the DRESS. The most challenging task of a Year 10 formal is making sure NO ONE has your dress, that's the number one rule! Today I still have a passion for Zimmermann clothing and I now refuse to buy any other bikini set but theirs! (except if its a brand that no one has, like my new NLP Bikini top in pink with a front zip made from neoprene fabric - however they are growing fast so alot of girls will  now have them). 
Zimmermann dresses are generally pure silk so they are very pricey however, I never spent full price on anything & this was my very first designer clothing that was more than half price. Zimmermann have an outlet store in Alexandria Sydney, where i found the most amazing dress. This silk one shouldered drape dress in coal colour was priced at over $400 in store but as it was 'last season' it was reduced down to $150. The first one i saw was originally navy blue size 2 (sadly not my size & i was devastated), the sale girl said they had a coal one in size 0, I wasnt to keen on it when she said it, but the minute it came out I was in LOVE.

For girls that want a designer dress but don't want to pay full price; find their outlet stores, you could be very surprised on what you find!!

Shoes from Style Tread as they always have sales and lots of coupon codes. Bright blue phone wallet from Sportsgirl $7. Hair style: Fish Tail $30 Joh Bailey. Make up: Mac products

A Dream & Style

My Dream Life in Japan 

What my life will consist of whilst working in Japan on the business side of Fashion.

On The Go Style
The 'On The Go' look I  have styled is designed for a woman whose in a hurry and needs to look casual yet sophisticated. This look consisted of items I personally own and are affordable.  Glasson's cord jeans, One Teaspoon chunky knit and Jeffrey Campbell flats, coupled with a petit sized navy Longchamp and Golden Ray Ban Aviators.


Little Fact: Its cheaper to buy Longchamp from Duty Free or Overseas Eg. Paris (where mine was purchased)

Everyday high & low end designer wear

Montana's 'Everyday' Style

This look is based on my everyday wear and how I try to copy designer clothing styles but at half the price.
I personally designed this look for a casual occasion, for being both comfy and stylish; featuring Glasson's cord jeans, Ray Bans and a White knit jumper from the markets and paired with a cute pair of Jeffrey Campbell flats.
Fun Fact: Glebe markets has some great deals & Etsy online
For cheap Jeffrey Campbells: Ebay, Pop up stores & Nasty Gal



Singapore Shenanigans

Another item ticked off the Want List!
Recently I have embraced my cultural background of Thai and I have come to the realisation that I really loved being Asian. 

Asian girls dress so girlie and cute on a daily basis and I'm really fond of that style at the moment. A popular tread at the moment is the 'Overall' look also known as dungarees. I've searched high and low for a fab pair of little overall shorts in cord fabric but so far no luck! the only pair I have found have been from General Pants $80 :(

Somehow I came across a brand based in Singapore called Mischief http://mischief.com.sg/ 
I just found a store that caters for my needs, wants and body shape! This store is amazing, the average price ranges from $25-45 however if you buy three items each item can go down to $19! and shipping is only 30% of the total price! 

SO I found short dungarees in cord fabric for only $25!!! instead of purchasing right there and then, I did shop around on the site. I came across the most cutest little dress that I KNEW I could wear daily. The 'School Girl Dungaree Light Wash' is a Montana dress written all over it; its cute, short and overall style. It stated sold out so I thought why not email the woman? and she told me they had one more left which I could purchase and I did :)

 After 2 weeks of waiting it finally arrived. It was a standard package nothing special about it no wrapping just placed in a clear bag inside. The material was spot on and all the button and zips were amazing quality. The size fitted perfectly and overall I was a very very happy shopper! 

White long sleeve allows you to wear the dress during winter!



Paired with Ray Ban Aviators (first real pair) & Jelly shoes from Lipstick
