Love Lover

There are few Aussie labels that make me salivate season after season as much as Lover does. While their prices are generally beyond my book publicist's salary, I'm lucky enough to own two items: one is a beautiful white lace blouse from one of their earliest collections (as worn by Abbie Cornish in the final scene of Candy) and the other is a one-piece swimsuit from their last S/S collection which I pretty much wore every single day of my January break.

Though generally I'm a big fan of colour, there is something about Lover's muted tones, the quality of their fabrics, and the little flattering details, that keep me permanently in lust. Their new A/W 2010 collection is entitled The Harvest and the look is a bit Sloane from Ferris Bueller's Day Off meets Little House on the Prairie. I would have looked awesome in most of these pieces strolling into a high school house party in 1993. Now I just really, really hope those divine high-waisted khaki pants go on sale at some stage. They'd look great with a pink and pretty vintage blouse.
