LUXE for LESS - Proenza Schouler

We agree - what's not to LURVE about these boys?

"Design team Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough met at design school and joined creative forces to produce the current, edgy label Proenza Schouler. Famed for its thoroughly modern use of corsetry, the line combines tailored menswear-inspired separates with sleek and sexy silhouettes."

THE OUTNET

It has been a big year for the design duo with two nominations for the 2012 CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards for Women's Wear and Accessory Designer of the Year.

Although they were beaten to the top honour by The Row, we are very happy to celebrate their hard work in bringing us these delectable designer duds.

HOW TO ADD LUXE TO YOUR LOOK

A great way to add investment pieces to your wardrobe is by collecting a few separates that you can mix and match and get the ultimate cost-per-wear value.

Snuggie Time!

What's not to love about this time of year?

The soft glow of scented candles begin to waft through the house.  A bowl of hot soup becomes the lunch choice de jour.  And spending Sundays rugged up with a great book on the window seat feels like heaven.

 While the sun may still be shining, the temperature Down Under has certainly dropped.

Save yourself the trouble of an allergy attack when you try to drag out last year's jumpers and jump online to make the most of the northern hemisphere sales.

One of The Look Lite's favourite shopping destinations 

has given us a lot to get smug about this Sunday. (Hooray for ASOS!)

{ASOS ringspun fluffy cardigan $76.50}

Be a Muppet for a day and wrap yourself in furry liquorice and relax.

{ASOS club L americana sweater $30.60}

Stars and stripes and warmth and joy and lazy days forever.

{ASOS fairisle pinafore dress $26.35}

Apres ski coming soon to a lounge room near you.

{ASOS glamourous stripe blanket cardigan $51.00}

Drape yourself in a blankie.  You've earned it this winter.

And lastly...

{ASOS premium lace jumper $44.20}

...stay pretty.
