(Sara Phillips 'Bindi' Skirt, Vintage Blouse/Jumper/Clutch, Topshop Heels)

Just a sneak peek at my latest post for Harper's Bazaar Style Network. Absolutely smitten with this insane silk skirt by Australian designer Sara Phillips. At a quick glance it could easily be mistaken for a cute floral print but after looking closely you can spot some serious reptilian love. Snakes, alligators and frogs are mixed in with this colourful floral print and the slightly cropped front gives this skirt even more of a quirky and unusual edge. I have a feeling this particular style of skirt is going to be absolutely huge this season after spotting similar styles in a few SS 11/12 collections at RAFW. I can tell you right now the fit is incredibly flattering and slightly addictive. It's definitely an easy DIY that will transform any of your old pencil skirts in your wardrobe into something new and refreshing.

    Love the embroidery...so delicate, yet packs such a powerful punch! Menagerie scenes seem to be the hautest thing to come out of resort since last year's jungle critters! Great look!

    The skirt is gorgeous (love how the detail draws you in) - I also love the double collar (is it an illusion?)

    Really nice how it's a classic silhouette, but the skirt has the repetillian/floral print. Thanks for sharing! (:

    I love how it's a classic silhouette, but with a unique twist on the skirt. The reptiles/flowers definitely looks cool. Thanks for sharing!
