A Midsummer Day's Festival

 The festive season has morphed into the festival season, and we can all play like its a public holiday (almost) EVERYDAY!  
The LANEWAY FESTIVAL hits Brisbane, Australia, today and my spies tell me you may need to pack a rain poncho, but don't let that dampen your spirits (or wine, or soda)...

//Keep hydrated & PARTY ON!!//

 These are some rad festival staples we'll be styling as we let our hair down enjoying the sounds of summer.  What's YOUR festival go-to-style??

In The Inbox : What Is It About Tracksuit Pants?


Dear Can't-Take-Off-My-Tracksuit,
I love getting mail, so thanks for your thoughtful letter.
And I too am guilty of living in my track pants.
So, before anyone organises an intervention, 
it is a good idea to discuss their place in our wardrobes.

The good news for us is that these fleecy pants 
have recently made a fashionable comeback.


As you can see, it's all about the attitude.
Toughen up your look with a man style watch, serious jewellery hardware
- and don't forget the heels.
Whether you are feeling relaxed, sporty or luxe it's true :

Track pants can take you from 
the bedroom to the gym to the bar.

Pleasantly surprised?  We kinda were too.
Let's take a look at how your fleecy pants can work for you.
Love,
The Look Lite Lady
XO


Get Your Comfy On
Need some 'you' time? Own it.
...but maybe keep this look indoors.  And enjoy.



Downtown Funk
Glam up and embrace the sporty stripes by adding metallics to the mix.
Keep the look streamlined with a smart button up and tailored jacket.
Confidence is key.



She Means Business
Grey marle in the boardroom? 
Ok, maybe not, but you can still be serious when you keep it simple.
Add black separates and stay smart.



Sporty Nice
Kicking back on the weekend + track pants = perfect match.
Embrace your inner gym rat and get out there and play!



P.S. We couldn't go without mentioning the Juicy Couture effect :
The company that was "started by two fashion-obsessed friends in 1997
(and is) best known for ascending the tracksuit to it's status as a casual luxury icon".
Although (hopefully) we have moved on from the days of 'Jenny from the block', 
we predict our love for the simple pleasure of trackie dacks 
will be around for many years to come.

What Is It About An "It Girl"...?



The recent Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia had us drooling over the amazing glamour that is fashion blogger style.  Natalie Joos, Elin Kling, Susie Lau and Candice Lake were in town and the web was awash with their casual/cool meets latest-luxe as they were snapped in all their glory.

WHAT YOU NEED
 - The Statement Jacket : The cooler weather favours us Down Under at the moment.  Make the most of layering with the fash pack staples like the anorak or the cropped colour block blazer.

- The Statement Pant : They're everywhere at the moment.  Make like Stella with a tropical print or man up with a Celine-style stripe.  But remember its all about the fit.

- The Oversized Tote : Working the on the fashion front lines requires a Mary Poppins approach as you take your desk to the streets. iPad, camera, water bottle, make-up case for last minute touch ups, and a pair of flats for when the going gets tough...

- The Statement Jewels : Shine on with a little sparkle. Note To Self :- gems catch the light beautifully and the eye of the street photogs.  Whether you choose costume or fine jewellery, just don't let the sparkle outshine your smile.

- The Statement Shoe : Choose your poison, ladies.  Heels vs Flats - there is no easy answer.  Add a pop of colour if you want to let your toes take the limelight or glamourous sandals easily match our laid back Aussie ethos.


So how to cultivate the look on the 'sale' budget?
The Look Lite suggests these winning pieces.
Wear it your way.
And don't forget your best accessory - a million dollar smile for the camera.
