I love the relaxed nature of this editorial for Lula's spring edition.

The washed out quality, the domestic setting and the simple sophisticated styling all work collectively to create a very mellow and sweet piece.

I think the first time I laid eyes on Andrew Mukamal whilst watching Kell on Earth I knew that he was going to turn into an obsession. Andrew is Assistant to the fashion power woman that is Kelly Cutrone and has ridiculously good taste.

In the video below Andrew offers his observations on the power fashion holds, how clothing affects your perception within society and many more wonderful thoughts.

A welcome insight into a very intriguing mind.

Dork in Cream.

Wanted to share my favourite item of the moment, this huge cream cable knit jumper that I found at The Salvation Army. Perfect fix for my obsession with heavy wool knits. I think it was knitted for an obese man......

Love that I can wake up in the morning and throw it on, no thought needed.

Thanks to the Lovely Steven for putting up with my awkward presence in front of the lens.

Check his and my good friend Andrew's blog out at kiwipaparazzi.blogspot.com ,it's a great read!

Lobster Love.

I adore this editorial with Abbey Kee Kershaw ( one of my favourite models because of her soft yet striking face + i love her chin!). Metal bones?! Yes! very GAGA lobster Treacy Headpeice, this is a body version, and may I say more wearable?

And those nude printed leggings, wearing a painting on your legs is really appealing to me. The formal qualities of the fitted pieces paired with the organic nature of fur and tulle is lovely.

Fur, Sequins, Leggings and Odd metal objects are my weak points.

RASTA MONSTA

How to make it in America

Since being put onto this show by my brother I have become addicted and cant wait for season two.

Whats better than a young raw take on the achieving the new american dream.

Its different take on New York, seems a more realistic portrayal of everyday life in NYC for a young person trying to make it in something they are passionate about, although Iv never been so ....?

The soundtrack is almost as good as the show, I have thrashed the mix tape and I'm still not tiering of this tune...

Plus I may be a little in Love with the lead star... Ben.......

I love the soft natural aesthetic of this editorial by Aneta Bartos for Zoo.

Beautiful drapery, white and nude and a subtle moodiness.

First Ramblings...

So for my first post I thought I'd show you a few things that have been swirling round in my head as of late.

Leopard Print. I am not immune to the current leopard print fever that seems to be everywhere as of late and am currently a slave to the stuff...

In the process of hunting a feline inspired bag for my greedy paws and I think this mulberry beast is perfect...dreams are free?








I have been worshiping French artist Christian Boltanski since early this year, his most recent exhibition took place in The Grand Palais in Paris. Boltanski uses installation to convey themes of absense and loss in post holocaust society. The grand nature of Personnes appeals to me as well as the exploration of clothing and how clothing is connected to the personal being and identity. His work is confronting but in a gentle manner and allows the viewer to draw their own conclusions , nothing is contrived or forced which is a hard thing to achieve when responding to such a sensitive historical event in a contemporary context. Makes me think about clothing and what it actually means? Deep I no.

Big Black Clompers. The Bigger, the chunkier the better. Some say the look like foot correctors....

These Acne Babies started off my obssession, one day they will come...

These Camilla Skovgaard Boots are feminine but with a killer edge. Camilla has got quite a lot of hype within the industry as of late, shes set to the next big thing and I can now see why with her new season(previous collections have been stiletto focused which don't really catch my attention!)

I have heard rumours Children of Vision is set to them in... humph...need a get rich quick scheme, ideas?Source.elleuk.com

Hi There.

I am an all over the place kind of mind and this blog will most likely turn into all over the place for scrawling's of everything that I think is relatively interesting, hope that doesn't scare you off. I plan to post anything and everything fashion, art and contemporary culture related.
