halloween


I love H A L L O W E E N
Ever since I was one of the few trick-or-treating children in my neighbourhood, I wished that I lived in America where halloween was a bigger deal.
I remember the evil adults who slammed their doors in our little child faces claiming 'halloween is AMERICAN' well you know what evil adults? It's also great.
Just look at these photo's! Hopefully this year I can get all dressed up and have a proper halloween. If not, im sure these photos will quench my halloween appetite!





au revoir

NYC!


N Y C !
Here is my photo diary of NYC! This again, is pre-amazing camera so the picture quality isn't too great but hopefully you can see how much fun it was. I especially loved Grand Central Station (we forgot the camera that day...trust), Central Park, Bryant Park (all the parks, really) and The Museum Of Natural History (and planetarium)
The picture below is my brother...he looks so much like a prehistoric turtle it's a little creepy. I was super elusive in all the photos as well, but I'm in two of them here...spot the me!









au revoir!

lonelyHEARTS

Lonely H E A R T S aw2011

Lonely Hearts is one of those fantastic southern hemisphere labels that highlight the talent we have around here. I really loved their past two collections, but I think this one is my favorite they have ever done. Even though we have just come into spring, the pallete evokes memories of early Autumn afternoons where it's not quite cold or warm...kind of like the Sydney weather right now. The collection was inspired by 'The Matrix' and thank god I don't really see any obvious allusions to that as I'm not the biggest fan of the androgynous-to-the-point-of-painstakingly-ugly costumes the ladies wore in that film.
What I see instead is a 60's influence in the boat neck jumpers, a perfect balance of masculine and feminie throughout and lots of beautiful Lonely Hearts' dressess which the label has come to be known for. I hope I'll be able to get my hands on the black sweater and the sheer, navy dress below...they are magical!

back to school

Rookiemag.com
is super famous blogger Tavi Gevinson's new online magazine. I guess I've always been much more of a Lula girl than a style rookie one, but going to this site makes me feel like I've fell into a 90's dream land. Check out this editorial!? So sweet! Makes me miss high school a little bit.
