I only recently came across the wonderful Australian brand, Rittenhouse, and I quite frankly adore it. These are a few particular images from their Fall/Winter '08 collection that stood out for me. I like how the pieces and styling are essentially quite basic, however when put together they look fantastic. Here you can see wonderful examples regarding good garment construction and fit, and I find that although the collection in itself is not exactly remarkable, I could definately see myself buying a few pieces as wardrobe basics. The careful attention to detail that highlight the traditional pieces are very well done.
When looking at a collection such as this I often find myself thinking that if only a few more people would pay attention, they would learn how easy it is to dress that little bit better. The looks in themselves are not hard to put together and similar styles can be quite easily found on the high street. As such these are wonderful introductions to anyone looking to try something slightly new for autumn.
May I also take this opportunity to thank you all for your kind words and comments!! I will definately try my hardest to comment back to all of you wonderful people :) Oh, and I have also been slightly lazy, so if you would like to exchange links just let me know!

Yay your back! oh and i totally agree, lots of people choose to look bad when really it's not that hard or expensive to look your best. I love this collection it is simple but thats whats great about it.
ReplyDeleteBye :)
simple is always best, and these pieces are just that. it's funny that you should post this, as i am taking a month out from buying clothing with a view to investing in some staple, classic pieces afterwards (if i can afford them after all my course books, ugh, my education is even more expensive than my clothing habits!) just like these. i need to expand my 'capsule collection,' and the Rittenhouse silhouettes are lovely. I will certainly be taking a look!
ReplyDeleteoh i'm really lovin all the looks.. they look so comfy and stylish... great find
ReplyDelete-issa
Love Rittenhouse. A number of stores in Vancouver are carrying it now.
ReplyDeleteI liked the mens clothing more than I did the womens. I can even see myself wearing that mens stuff. Of course it has to be a million sizes smaller since I'm a twig lol
ReplyDeleteooooh you're back. Hope you feel better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, I love those shoes, they're so pretty.
ooh and you changed your title image thing... it looks cool.
Great picks, Dapper!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the new header, "Super Kid" :) Thanks for your wonderful comments. So glad you are doing better!
5 & 7 =love.
ReplyDeleteOh and I am glad to see you are back. You were missed!
Hope you're feeling better! That first outfit, with the little pinafore and the grey tights, is delicious...it looks exactly like something I'd wear! I love the silouettes too, kind of slouchy without being scruffy! Char x
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are on to some great posts once again. These look like well made clothes..makes me think of what one would wear in the great north east..that is in quebec and upstate NY.
ReplyDeleteYou've been missed.
ReplyDeleteI love clothes that I know I could wear everyday..as these. Some of this high fashion doesn't relate to me with anything or anywhere I'd be going.
Anthony Hope Fan fiction.
those clothes all look super comfy.
ReplyDeletehurray that you're back! so, WELCOME BACK! lovin the new banner. :)
ReplyDeletei would like to be added to your links. :) i am addin u RIGHT NOW!
The womens outfit with skirts is something i would love to have.
ReplyDeleteless is more :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you back! That collection seems really great, especially that I'm going through some weird gray phase (I tried to go on detox, but I got a gray sweater today, so I guess it's not gonna happen just yet). And now I think I'm gonna have to find gray tights - something I haven't thought of before. Thanks ;)

"When looking at a collection such as this I often find myself thinking that if only a few more people would pay attention, they would learn how easy it is to dress that little bit better."
ReplyDeleteYes Yes Yes!!
I was thinking the same thing seeing the mens look. It's not ground breaking, but its simple, i wish more american men would just put more thought into what they wear.
It's especially annoying when an american men, usu in that 35-45 range, think that just because something has a tailored fit it makes it "gay."
oh and cool song by the way
ReplyDeleteI laughed when you put the english version. So silly. I thought it was obvious that I was a real ganster girl. Haha. So happy your back.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for reading my last two posts, & adding me to your long list of links!
You're right about the basics of this collection being styled into something fantastic. The grey tights have such a comfy-autumn feel, and men's plaid shirts are beauitful!
Definitely buy some of that collection. Then post pictures :)

im from australia and i didnt even know them.
ReplyDeleteill check them out.
thanks
looks 3 & 5 are just perfect! i may have to go check these guys out, i've never even heard of them before... but then i tend to stay away from the shops they're stocked in as they're always quite pretentious & the shopgirls look at your as if to say 'what are YOU doing in here?'
ReplyDeleteoh & that picture of chuck in your sidebar was hands-down my favourite outfit of his all last season!
I love this kind of style, sometimes simple is better, it comes across as more thought about even though it's not over complicated...just perfect!!
