I know it almost minus (number) degree Celsius in some part of the world, but not in every-day-summer tropical country, such as Indonesia, and especially here in Australia, my temporary base country for current time. Here we are so ready to welcoming summer by the end of the year, which is now it is the perfect time to get new summer outwear a.k.a SWIMSUIT! Yes, it is. There is so many option you could choose, what kind of color, model and fabrics, all up to you! But this month we couldn't stop adoring this swimsuits collection from WE ARE HANDSOME, which originally designed by dynamic duo Australian designers who created an outstanding yet quirky swimsuits, other desirable outfit and their new hot items, silk scarfs, of course with their remarkable printed picture embed on each collection. Started on Summer 2009, now their collection can be found internationally, from North America to Bali, Indonesia. Even A-lister Hollywood like Diane Kruger and Rihanna spotted wearing one of their collection and it quickly becomes famous after all among Hollywood's fashion watcher. Unfortunately it comes with a little bit pricey. You must spend at least $230 for a piece of one-of-a-kind designer swimsuit. So are they worth to buy? You must decide by yourself. It's hard to chose among their inspirational collection though, but our most favorite is The Dreamer Frilled One Piece from their 2011 collection, The Memoirs. They are handsome, Aren't they?

PETER PAN COLLAR

Inspired by our childhood fairy tale character, Peter Pan, this trend spread quickly and now hit almost all fashion lover. But rather than wearing a blouse with Peter Pan Collar, try on only the Peter Pan Collar itself to get quirky yet remarkable look. Choose unique fabrics, such as leather, lace, pattern, or even beaded fabrics for more playful look and paired it up with basic shirt, simple blouse or you could double it with another collar shirt as a layer. Otherwise you could also following how some Bloggers well did it.

ROCK ON THE LEATHER SHORTS

It is a little bit tricky to wear leather fabrics. Instead of looking rock-chic-glam, you could be look skanky because of its cheap fabrics. The point is how to choose the right leather material, the color itself and the most important thing is how you style it. For our first post, we couldn't stop starring at this new trend, the leather shorts. The key in styling this trend is by mixing it with basic item in neutral color, so the exquisite leather fabrics would stand out as a statement on your overall look. And do save more money to get a good quality leather for your comfy and a better look-because nobody wants to look cheap while wearing this tricky pieces.

Our loves following this trend are High Waist Shorts from Tibi.com in red color, Turn Up Shorts from Warehouse in basic black color and Leather Shorts from Oasis in nude color. To achieve great yet edgy look, we chose a white cropped top from delias.com, new trend alert beaded collar from Missselfridge, and paired it up with Alexander Mcqueen's ankle boots. So now you're ready to rock on your world!
