Love for Oz

Long live Aussie style. Will let you know more once I know - however not before I order it all for myself. xx

File Under: Jimi

My BFF used to have this beat up old Lee jean jacket that was worn in to pure perfection. Feeling like I must go find myself one STAT. Love both these pics... too cool for school.

Surreal Illustrated

An ethereal combination of Tanya Dziahileva, Carlotta Manaigo's photography and delicate drawings by Gustaf von Arbin featured in the latest Mixte. Lovely.

Look What's in the Mail...

My love/hate relationship with Pixie Market continues. Love - for obvious reasons. Hate - because I can never get the pieces I want! (Oh those sold out blazers!) Still loving this bleached out denim dress for spring...

Shoeless in the City

Which ones should come home with me? I'm not telling what they are... don't want to influence your decision!

Inspiration Aspiration

We are all sponges absorbing music, art, culture, advertising, blogs, life - everything going on around us. Inspiration found in the minutest or grandest of things. 

I finally made it to the excellent Van Dongen exhibit today in Montreal, and I wondered if Dries Van Noten had been inspired by Van Dongen's raucous use of colour? He said that his colour was used to depict the intensity of the lives of the women that he painted. (Many of them prostitutes.) It left me wondering, in the shadow of the black-on-black shows this Fall 09... what was Dries excuse?

In Lurve...

I know it's been Balmain over-kill but I love that Vanessa Traina wears it with such a "whatevs" attitude. Killer.

All Saints, Pray For Me...

In a parallel universe I own and run an All Saints store here in Montreal. Why you might ask? Because it certainly must be cheaper than shipping it all the Mtl and paying the exorbitant duty fees. Maybe I'm dreaming - but a besty in London would also come in handy. Someone with a large credit limit (that I would repay promptly!) but they could ship me all the lovely things (as gifts) from All Saints that I'm constantly lusting after. What is my current obsession du jour? Ah yes. The perfect, quintessential motorcycle jacket. And yes damn-it! As a matter-of-fact it would improve every outfit in my existing wardrobe!
