What’s new to the sneakypeek closet? These delights by Blossom Headpieces and Accessories are what’s new. Like them? So do we.
The thing with flower accessories is that no matter where you go, you’re bound to make an impact- either by receiving a swarm of compliments or a swarm of bees who think you’re an actual walking flower. Either way- you’ll make an impact.
A few weeks ago, we decided to frolic through a garden wearing our favourite flowery pieces by Blossom. Here’s what it looked like.
So here’s something less than dandy. A month or so ago, our site crashed and lost all it’s data. We’ve spent the last few months re-booting everything and posting up as many of our previous bloggery gems as possible. But we couldn’t get everything back up. But rather than weeping to the heavens and shaking our hands with vengeance, we thought we’d just re-launch our site with our most recent photoshoot, which we called Morocco. The post itself is gone, but the visual glory is still in tact!
So here’s to being back online and just as sneaky as ever!
And what a delicious day it is. So delicious, in fact that we decided to create an Easter weekend outfit.
For us, this weekend will consist of an extended sesh in the garden, obscene amounts of chocolate and perhaps some pastel egg painting. So naturally, we included all of these things in our weekend outfit, from the water-colour floral print of this Sportsgirl frock to the pastel floral ears created by Goddess Flora.
We also sprinkled some whimsical weekend accessories just for funsies. And trust us, if we could somehow incorporate chocolate into our outfit without staining the crap out of the rest of our clothes, we would do it.
It’s our perfect look for a breezy Easter weekend. What’s yours?

The follies of Karl Lagerfeld (aka Mr Chanel) have enraptured us for years. His strange collaborations (who could forget his weird wine glass collab with Orrefors?), his violent disdain for women wearing sweatpants, and the endless Karl insta-updates featuring his cat, Choupette.
But here’s something we didn’t expect – Karl has just opened a new store in Paris that has an inbuilt online shopping facility. Yep, its a bricks and mortar store containing digitalised dressing rooms called ‘Karl Booths’. Shoppers will be able to try on their favourite Karl threads, photograph themselves inside these elusive Karl Booths and then share these images through their social networks. Visitors can also sign an online guestbook which is projected for the whole shop to see. And finally, shoppers can purchase their outfits online via the Karl Booths, rather than paying at a register.
Now, while we give a big high five to team Karl for trying to keep their fashion mojo relevant for the digi-age, we also have to ask the question: ‘what the hell?’. We don’t get it. Seriously, someone explain this to us.
Firstly, does this kind of shopping setup not remind you of a glorified internet cafe? Secondly, won’t our e-friends start hating us for posting gratuitous ’do I look fat in this?’ photos online? And if we have to take photos of ourselves in our dressing rooms, does this mean we have to start making an effort not to look like a slob when we go shopping?
Perhaps this is just one part of Karl’s scheme to stop women wearing sweatpants once and for all. If so, touchè, Largie.
This week, our outfit it inspired by the 1940′s femme fatale of hard boiled crime fiction. Dangerous and mysterious, this noir film vixen is everything we want to be this season.
Going out at night during winter is one of our least favourite ways to contract typhoid, so we’re recommending this gorgeous Saveus gown because of it’s incredible thickness and heat-insulating tube style. Keep this look feminine by choosing a waist-cinching gown and a coat with small but structured shoulders and a straight line (as opposed to a flare) or even a silky jacket with moulded shoulder pads (if Bacall can do it, you can too). And finally, remember to curl that ‘do to create that sexy 1940′s tousle!
Smoulder forth, sneaky ones!

If you’re wardrobe has started to look like a dystopian wasteland of fashion have-beens, we hear you. It’s that awkward time of year when we have to let go of our summer wardrobe and start re-thinking our very existence (ie: go shopping). So in lieu of floaty beach frocks, we’re descending into the cooler months with an edge. Here’s how we styled our Autumn-ready look.

Holly Fulton’s latest Ready to Wear, Autumn/ Winter collection is like Gatsby on crack. And it’s the best thing we’ve seen in ages.
Geometric and bold, Fulton’s brain-blowing prints look like a strange mix of the works of M.C Escher, 30′s Art Deco and Art Deco motifs and 80′s rock-star fandom.
This dynamic collection was inspired by 80′s pinup actress Béatrice Dalle, whose gap-toothed Frenchness and iconic rebelliousness captured Fulton’s imagination: “the obsessive love that a groupie has for her rock star, all the paraphernalia she collects, and her utter, slavish devotion to her object of desire” explains Fulton.
Some of our fave inclusions in Fulton’s collection were the appearance of a digitally printed tiger image, a graphic print made entirely from lipsticks and the groupie-esque rock band badge appliques that covered a bomber jacket.
So sneakies, are you gap-toothed fans of this crazy collection?
Um, awesome? Just when we thought it was so easy to be a model, Hartje Andresen goes and does a shoot entirely on her head.
Touche, topsy-turvy one.
So this editorial was shot by Elle Muliarchyk for indie fash mag Dossier Journal and features pieces by Prada, Kenzo and Proenza Schouler. It also features Hartje (who is not only a model but a semi-professional rock climber- um, yeah we’re not surprised- as well as a gourmet coffee-shop owner.)
Whether or not the concept of this shoot expands from ‘upside-down-ness’, we’re not quite sure. But we are sure that this shoot looks awesome. Also, the fact that tinned spam makes an appearance next to the most expensive clothing in the world is pretty priceless.
Now don’t recoil- we know most of you hate the offensive gooeyness of this love-shoving holiday.
So instead of cursing the heavens for not conjuring us a Seth Green lookalike boyfriend for the day, we want you to be our valentines! All of you! In celebration of our undying, fashion-related love, let’s frock up shall we?
For our Valentines day outfit, we delved into the new ‘Carnaby Street’ Autumn/Winter 2013 collection by Saveus, one of our new favourite Aussie brands. We love the refreshingly cute love-heart lolly print of the Saveus skirt that Monique wears, especially since digitally printed garments are often vague and artistically austere. Plus, we added a sweetheart neckline- another cute Valentines-related touch.
Oh come on, don’t freak out. We’re not getting Valentines-gooey on you. Well, maybe a little. Now where are our 12 longstem roses?

Today, our outfit post is inspired by The Wizard of Oz’s fantastical Emerald City. Cute, right? We’ve always wanted to create a wearable outfit inspired by the dreamy tale of Dorothy, and what with the release of Oz the Great and Powerful, there’s no better time than to show off your emerald threads!
One of our fave new season frocks is this bodycon Cooper St dress (which Monique wore as a top). Super flattering with it’s body-hugging ribbed fabric and shoulder bearing straps, this dress is sexily versatile. We were also tickled by this Saveus skirt in Emerald, Pantone’s 2013 colour of the year, because of it’s thick, woven-like fabric that flares out dramatically. Oh, what a world, what a world!
Here’s how to get our Emerald City look. And remember, Sneakies, follow that yellow brick road (to your nearest shopping center).
