I don't think I've ever come across a collection where I've loved every single piece. For this reason, I thought it absolutely necessary to dedicate a post to Australian label Shakuhachi's Spring Summer 2012/13 collections (Summer 2012 and Cruise 2012), which I LOVE! I've always loved Shakuhachi, but this Summer they have gone above and beyond. They always seem to be able to design on trend pieces with their own twist. My favourite thing about the label is their "girlish charm" (as they call it). 



Above are a few of my favourite pieces from their two summer collections (so hard to narrow down my favs). I really want to buy the New Romantics Playsuit because it's so gorgeous, now I just need the moolah! I also mentioned in an older post that I would love to try a metallic skirt. It seems I've found a perfect match in Shakuhachi's Apollo Mini Skirt. Shakuhachi's collections include all the current trends I'm loving at the moment, such as the white minimalist trend (with lace floral detail), metallics and colour blocking (with a bright, summery feel - perfect for spring racing). 




Looking through Shakuhachi's lookbook, I can't help but notice how amazingly all their designs can be paired together or mixed and matched. Many other collections have pieces that must be paired together or with particular styles. Shakuhachi's collections can be worn with anything - from any of their other styles to a basic tee or singlet. Their designs can be worn as statements on their own or with equally striking pieces.




There's no doubt I'll be continuing to drool over Shakuhachi's brilliance this Summer. I just hope I can snap up that playsuit before they all sell out!
