MAURIE & EVE MOMENTUM.









Top and pants by Maurie & Eve from The Joy Stores
Shoes by Shakuhachi
Sunglasses by Sportsgirl
Lipstick by Clinique

I've been a fan of Maurie & Eve since the sequin embellished singlet days. There's no denying the brand has become somewhat sophisticated since then; their latest lookbook, 'Diamond Life' featuring platinum super babe Anja Konstantinova is evidence of this. 

I love it when a model manages to embody the essence of a brand while bringing that little 'something extra' to the table - a unique and intriguing personality is paramount in my opinion. 

Maurie & Eve interviewed the girl behind the lens on their blog. Below are my favourite parts, but you can read the full interview here.


M&E: When you're not working, how do you like to spend your time?
Anja K: Lazing around on the couch with my cat and my boyfriend.

M&E: Do you have any escapes in the city?
Anja K: Fitzroy (Melbourne, VIC) coffee shops and vintage shops - I can get lost in them for days.

M&E: Is modeling something you always wanted to do?
Anja K: Yes and no, I always loved it but didn’t think I had the height.. but I made it happen.

M&E: What is the best part of the job?
Anja K: Playing dress ups..

M&E: What is your signature scent?
Anja K: Nina by Nina Ricci.

M&E: Whats in your bag?
Anja K: Wallet, phone, perfume, tissues… just a big bag with a whole lot of nothing.

M&E: Biggest Fear?
Anja K: Spiders & the ocean.

M&E: What’s on your playlist?
Anja K: MIA, Azealia Banks.


I like you. Let's be friends!

I think the open back brings the peplum top to the next level as it's so unexpected. It definitely stands out from all the other peplum tops that I've seen!
