Loving Lanvin
via my (oldschool) blackberry
A burst of orange. So classic. Who can resist Lanvin on sale at Attic? Not my sister-in-law. Divine.
Speaking of flowers
via my (embarrassing) blackberry
Love these Anniel Soft shoes from Attic. Made by ballet shoe manufacturer Anniel, they were originally "designed as shoes worn by street artists during their performances, particularly soft and suitable to the movements thanks to the special rubber sole." I fell in love with these last summer. You can't get these anymore at Attic, but there is a glorious new collection available here.

Here is 2013
via Instagram
Regular readers slash bored Facebookers will have noticed that I have been a little absent for the last couple of months of 2012. I was feeling a little uninspired - if you've read the About section of this blog you'd probably say that there was no better time to Devour Beauty, quite frankly. But sometimes the soul is weary and needs a break; sometimes you can't push.
Luckily I had a gorgeous holiday break reveling in the Sydney sun with some beautiful people (and some sparkling little nieces). And then, here we are: 2013. May it be infinitely better than 2012. May all of you, dear readers, have a year full of happiness and good health, of love and laughter. But most of all, whatever you're striving for this year - don't be afraid.

Acquisitions: floral silk
via Shopbop
Everyone knows I'm a sucker for a silk tank, especially one by Joie. This season I'm expanding my horizons to their silk summer shirts. You can buy it online here. Be still my beating heart, it also comes in a blazer. You know how I dig the floral.

L'homme: Wizard of Oz
Via 00O00
If any man I know could pull off this DSquared2 green velvet silk lapel jacket, well...nothing more to say.
Art deco flats: Ivy Kirzhner
Absolutely adoring these Ivy Kirzhner flats, available here. The collection is inspired by "the Art Deco designs so intrinsically reflective of Manhattan’s architectural grandeur."
Iridescence

" "Some of us get dipped in flat, some in satin, some in gloss..." He turned to me. "But every once in a while, you find someone who's iridescent, and when you do, nothing will ever compare." "

First Lady of fashion: Mobama wins our votes (and hearts) too
Top 5 Mobama looks from the 2012 Campaign
Custom made Tracy Reese dress and J.Crew heels on the 1st day of the DNC. This is far and away my favourite. What I (and it seems all the real fashion commentators) love about this dress, is that it absolutely reflects who she is. Read about it here and here. I love the description from the New York Times's Eric Wilson: "From a distance, the dress had a shimmering effect, like wet paint in a blast of unreadable pastels, but in close-ups, viewers could practically study the pattern of the gold brocade."
Dresses aside, the speech she gave was brilliant - you should remind yourself how awesome she is by watching it here or reading the full transcript here.
As a friend of mine posted on Facebook yesterday: "Hilary/[M]Obama 2016" - if only!
Preen at the First Debate.
Thom Browne at the Third Debate
I've not been able to find a better picture than these of Obama at a DC book signing. But it's a killer. Brooks Brother silk sweater with keyhole, J.Crew pencil skirt and Alexis Bittar brooch.
BCBG MAXAZARIA
And some other favourites, just for fun:
Keen observors will have noticed she recycled this Michael Kors dress, complete with black cardi (but a different brooch) for election night. As many commentators said, this was symbolic of an entire campaign trail filled with more austere (but still fashionable) fashion choices, reflecting her husband's economic policies and a little more cognisant of the tough times many of their public were facing.
Sherbet - how on trend!
Rocking the flats with gingham.
In Chris Benz
In DVF prepping for the DNC.
In Laura Smalls - final day of the DNC
In Michael Kors at the second debate - comes in close for the top 5.

Une motto: Patience
"If it is right, it happens - the main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away."
- John Steinbeck
This goes right to the top of my list. You must read the full letter this quote is from, here. Steinbeck wrote so wisely and tenderly about falling in love, of honesty and of having patience. This wisdom, I think, can be applied to so much of life.
30.
Ringing in 30 with darling food and remarkable company at Woollahra pop-up Holmbrae run by the incredibly talented Hugh Holmbrae and his gorgeous family. A farm fresh menu of lamb sweetbread, gnocci with a Bobby Vealer (!), ocean trout and divine pavlova
