cropped images from aus vogue march 2010.

I think it is the combination of bright pink hair, bright orange lipstick and bright blue eyes that made me fall in love with this editorial....

Bargain.

I bought these shorts for $5 a few years ago.
They didn't fit me then....however I've grown (outwards) and now they do....

My mother is trying to convince me to get a season pass to the ballet...I like the ballet, but I don't know if I could handle a whole season...too many important things to do, like looking at blogs and...ah...

These tutu's remind me of this...

OCD

2009-10-25T21:21:00.000-07:00

For the past few days I have been obsessively making octahedrons out of this pretty pretty lace printed paper...for no particular reason...

My fetish may have emerged after I saw these Chanel images...

Glamorous

Who is this??

New.Skirt.

2009-10-20T20:38:00.000-07:00

I'm in love with the fabric of my new skirt...it reminds me of some of the astronomy images you see on the NASA site.

Possible first outing: Races....however I think I may have left it too late to get a guest pass. Idiot.

I've had these Terry Richardson badges for a few years now...and although I'm not a badge-wearer....I can't bring myself to throw them out.... they just hang around on various shelves getting dusty...

The only thing I can think of doing, is strategically placing them on Terry's editorial in Purple Fashion....quite amusing actually...entertained me for a good fifteen minutes...

When I first saw this I thought it was done in photoshop....but it's NOT!

These are actual push-pins stuck on her body....the way they catch the light and follow the contour of the body so precisely ....

There is no other word for it but........AMAZING!!!

however I will tell you some suggestions that the thesauras came up with...

awesome
fascinating
incredible
marvelous
prodigious
shocking
stunning
surprising
unbelievable
wonderful

.....so maybe there are a few words that describe it.....

FIVE ZERO NINE S/S 2010

2009-09-13T19:59:00.000-07:00

We are starting to be inundated with the S/S 2010 collections, which is always entertaining, but here is another kind of collection.....

Introducing.....

FIVE ZERO NINE S/S 2010 POSTCARD COLLECTION.

Found at various cafes/restaurants/art galleries.

Enjoy x

lux·u·ri·ous

2009-09-13T04:52:00.000-07:00

I'm dieing, as well as going bananas, over this image Luxirare scanned from a YSL book.

oh so sumptuous.

I definitely need a turban....

....and more velvet.

I LOVE VELVET

2009-09-09T04:49:00.000-07:00

Follow my blog with bloglovin

A rediscovered burgandy velvet blazer...bought it last summer but I have never worn it for some bizarre reason...I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable......

Worn with a favourite necklace (from grandma's jewellery box) and nothing...as you do....but this jacket is actually quite warm. Oh and matching burgandy lips and nails of course (coordination is in...you heard it here first).

Sculpture X Jewellery

2009-09-05T23:55:00.000-07:00

'Hoddle' (From the sculpture "Batman Swanston and Hoddle” by Alison Weaver and Paul Quinn) is wearing my ceramic flower necklace, by Make Believe bought from Fat.

He looks ever so dashing.

These necklaces also come in a larger size, which are rather spectacular, but I didn't want peoples attention to be focused on my jewellery in liu of myself....Obviously.

Oh Dear

2009-09-03T20:05:00.000-07:00

For some peculiar reason, I am always drawn to see-through clothes....but don't fret...I'm seeking help to get over this serious addiction.

However, unlike Jane Birkin, I usually wear something underneath...so maybe it's not such a problem?

BowTie

2009-09-01T22:30:00.000-07:00

Have been wearing this bowtie in my hair non-stop since I got it about a week ago.

So pretty

So girly

So gossip girl

So good it makes me feel a little bit sick...

Something Different

2009-09-01T19:44:00.000-07:00

Chanel Paper Couture, Spring 2009
Luciano Fileti's behind the scenes coverage.

I've made paper clothes twice in my life......once when I was about 7....and 20 minutes ago after I saw these pictures on StyleBubble.

fun fun fun. I recommend it.

Philippe Starck Please

2009-08-30T18:36:00.000-07:00

It all boiled down to one inevitable conclusion...

I need a Louis Ghost chair.

Marry Me?

2009-08-29T05:54:00.000-07:00

I received this Peter Alexander mug for my birthday.

Apparently when the giver saw it they immediately thought of me.

I'm hoping this is because they know that I like large, gold costume jewellery, as opposed to them thinking I am desperate to be married....

Either way I LOVE it.

YUMYUM.

2009-08-28T00:47:00.000-07:00

Had lunch at my new favourite cafe today. So good.

I had the 'Lunchbox' (1st pic) which includes...

a rice mix thing, chicken roll, sesame dipping things in a cute paper cup and a pistachio cupcake. (I know, I'm great at remebering the actual names of things)

This comes in a box if you get takeaway. Genius!

2nd pic is a burger........obviously. yummy.

...but forget the food...it's the detail in the presentation that makes me like this place.

Think About It...

2009-08-25T17:28:00.000-07:00

"Everybody in a band now has their reference - I want to look like Joy Division, I want to look like The Stones, I want to look like Jack White, But look at those guys, what were their references?"

- Nic Briand, one half of the label Lover, interviewed in Russh September/October 2009

I believe this applies to not just bands, but fashion in general.

Obviously

2009-08-25T06:25:00.000-07:00

This is exactly what I look like when I go hiking....

doesn't everyone??

Question: Is this Natalia??

Golly Gosh

2009-08-24T05:32:00.000-07:00

I never thought I would say this....but fake flowers can be attractive.

(As shown above in this photo by Alan Lund Gard)

Or maybe I just like this photo and they would be revolting in real life. Hopefully...because then my world would make sense once again.

Imogen the Impala and I

2009-08-23T19:08:00.000-07:00

New Yorker Paula Hayes, creates these whimsical silicone 'blob-like' planters.

She describes them as, "soft like skin and a little jiggly", in July/August Australian Vogue Living.

They are so appealing to me....

tack-y/ tæki/ [tak-ee]

2009-08-21T06:26:00.000-07:00

My gold boots are....crass; cheaply vulgar; tasteless; crude, and above all TACKY.

However I am completely in love with them...we have been in a relationship now for 4 months. It's getting serious.

I believe everyone should own something seriously tacky....it makes life so much more enjoyable. Trust me.

Amen

2009-08-19T23:12:00.000-07:00

St. Bartholomew's, Czech Republic.

Yes. That is a Church. And yes, those are Panton chairs with cross cut-outs.

If there was a Church like that near me, I might consider attending.

By Ellen Rogers

"I am a London based photographer. All my work is analogue and does not utilise any digital equipment or computer based manipulation (other than scanning the end result). My techniques mostly come from experimentation with traditional darkroom processes."

I want to say something pretentious here about the colours evoking a particular mood....

but I won't.

I'll just say......Two very enthusiastic thumbs up. Fine holiday fun.

WELCOME!

2009-08-18T00:11:00.000-07:00

Welcome to FIVE ZERO NINE........

Let me introduce you to Imogen the Impala.....she is wearing my Alpha60 pleated scarf.
