Nothing beats a good digital print.



Especially when it's by local talent - Poppy Lissiman!
(and to think, she's only a year older than S & I.  What a gun.)

If you cast your mind back to this post, then you would have already picked up on the vibe that I have a thing for Poppy's designs.  Really, I've liked them for a while now, but was blown away by her current Pantonia collection which hit the Australian fashion week circuit a few months ago.  Unfortunately we weren't able to make it to the designer collections show at PFF this year...  

Anyway, I've had my eye on this top in this print for a good 3 months now.  It's my official post-good-exam-results-present-to-myself (no... that other stuff from the S&B sale didn't count).  As cranky-liscious as I look in the photos below, I actually do love the top, and cannot wait to debut it somewhere!  

Photos are by my little brother - the newest member of my family to be sucked into an interest for photography.  The raging hipster kid has already started a tumbr.  I wish I was that cool when I was fifteen.  

Excuse the livedo reticularis legs.  It was cold despite the bright sunshine!


"Pistol Tunic" in Tank print - Poppy Lissiman
Denim shorts - thrifted Guess
"Clubmaster" sunglasses - RayBan
Necklaces (two worn together) - DIYed (see this post)
Watch - Longines

Although it isn't silk (and therefore has a mind of its own thanks to static electricity), I'm pretty sure the eye-catching print and floaty dipped-hem makes up for it!  FYI, the print has also been reincarnated into a selection of dresses and skirts, some complete with fringing and electro-pop-hued lace.  If you haven't already seen the photos from the Pantonia campaign, Poppy's got a few other cool prints on rotation as well - perfect for some print-on-print clashing.

P.S. Poppy's new store Poppy Lissiman Addition also just opened in Claremont last Friday - I highly recommend you go there to have a browse...
