Love my bangles! My favorite is the gold cuff bought from St Kilda Sunday Market, in the background are some of my paintings, my stone book end lady also makes an appearance.

My lovely bags have served me well! The silver one was my mums from the 80's, I bought the pink one for $6 at an opp shop, my gorgeous friends bought me the burgundy bag in Florence and the two other small ones are from Thailand. My big tan bag is the perfect uni bag, it fits loads!

This is my messy desk cluttered with trash and treasures of all sorts. Above is my latest style book .... amazing, and my beautiful LV scarf generously given to me by my old work on my final day, very spoiled!

I have been admittedly a bad blogger my post have recently been few and far between. The past weeks have been massively crazy for me, leaving my job, starting a new one and organizing trip to Europe, my life is just soo damn hard! So not much time has been left for blogging... many apologies indeed! So I've just posted a couple pics of my favorite accessories and exerts from my lovely new Vogue book 'In Vogue 50 Years of Australian Style' hope you like as much as I do!

Denim Dream

Some of my favorite denim images

I can never get enough of denim... EVER! So very comfortable, fashionable and versatile. Hope you like the denim superstylin pictures as much as I do, my all time favourite would have to be the ripped bleached denim shorties.

Some Like It HOT

2010-04-21T12:48:00.005+10:00

Photographer: Mario Sorrenti

Stylist: Emmanuelle Alt

Model: Natasha Poly

This shoot is sizzling hot! Bikini's, sun, bronzer and water, what's not to like? I feel warm just looking at these. Poly is absolutely amazingly beyond words gorgeous in these hot shots by Sorrenti.

Fuck Off Awesome Tights

2010-04-03T18:39:00.005+11:00

All Me

I bought these 'Fuck Off AWESOME Tights' yesterday, I couldn’t resist because they are just so damn cool! And they are actually even too long for me, bunching up at the ends which is a real rarity, I’m 5'10! They funk up a casual outfit and are perfect for day and night, such a good find.

Keeping It Natural

2010-03-23T14:48:00.006+11:00

Model: Nicole Tusznio

Photographer: Unknown

I came across these photos on models.com; Nicole has such a strong presence and energy, she looks as though she is staring at the viewer from the page/ screen. Her striking features are complemented by the organic background of sand, beach and sky, styling is also kept very minimal and neutral.

Myer A/W 2010

Just a look at some of the Australian design talent at L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival, it’s rather impressive. It makes sense that Melbourne is the Fashion capital of Australia when you see talent of such a high calibre. My favourite season collection is by Ellery I love the colour palette used and the twist on traditional designs. Myer put on an impressive show with Jennifer Hawkins shining brightly in her 80’s inspired gold Toni Maticevski dress.

Spray It

2010-03-12T07:41:00.002+11:00

Photographed and Styled by Me & Kate

I took these pics with fellow blogger Kate (http://theeleventeenth.blogspot.com/) the other night before hitting the town, as we were both looking pretty dark we decided our outfits needed brightening .... enter pink hairspray. I think we achieved the desired outcome and look a bit more colourful aka cute and tough! Now i want to experiment with other colours i'm thinking purple for next time. Don't you just love the vintage curtains in the back ground it almost makes these pics.
WARNING: Spray outside don’t make the same mistake i made.

Thinking Pink

2010-03-03T20:35:00.009+11:00

All Me

When i think of pink lipstick i'm reminded of leathery aged gym junkies sporting gold jewellery, though i feel that the pink lipstick look is going through a bit of an image revamp at the moment thank god! I found the most amazing colour (pictured above) in a light matte pink (i didn’t want shine and sparkle), it’s a fun outgoing look that works with little or no other makeup, i’m liking.

Sass on Sunday

2010-02-28T17:34:00.000+11:00

Model: Saskia W
Photographer: Yours Truly

After eating pancakes on a lazy Sunday sass and I decided to play dress ups and capture the moment. The clothing photographed is a mix of vintage, new, designer and opp-shop, which capture Sass's personal style. Sass will often throw a surf-wear hoodie over a designer dress and somehow manage to pull it off, and if her feet are cold she wont hesitate to wear socks under her clogs or throw on a beanie (as photographed).

Black & White Belle

2010-02-25T23:31:00.000+11:00

Photographer: Roger Deckker

I can’t seem to find much information on Roger Deckker so please further inform me if you know anything about his history, origin, general bio etc. Perhaps my research skills are out today? Although what I do know (personal opinion) is that these photos are awe-inspiring, they manage to portray a narrative, I’m left wondering about each heroine photographed. The black and white contrast make for a high impact photo and give a late 1960's vibe.

Fernando Frisoni

2010-02-25T22:01:00.000+11:00

Fernando Frisoni Autumn/ Winter 2010

Fernando Frisoni's selection of prints designed by Bernard Kim are a standout for this collection, inspired by film noir and elements of goth and vampire culture. The colours used look striking on black block coloured fabrics and can easily worn throughout the winter months, layered with black (I’d keep it simple), the prints are statement enough!

This Oyster Magazine (Feb/ March 2010) shoot by Australian photographer Bec Parsons has made my day, week perhaps even month... I LOVE it; these pictures are jam packed with amazing style and personality! Tallulah Morton is full of energy and manages to look fun, rebellious, approachable and dishevelled in the one picture.

Dree Hemingway takes to the pages of LOVE, with a little help from her friends: Bruce Weber shoots Dree alongside her pals Paolo Kester and Cadence Owensby for special editorial. The combination of Dree’s dynamic energy and Weber’s collage style, make for a story that is full of life.

Dopamine - Dustin Humphrey

2010-02-17T07:00:00.000+11:00

"Insight has launched an impressive art installation series entitled Dopamine, from setting up underwater art installations with surf actions shots in Bali and having re-created famous skate spots in the middle of the Balinese jungle. The surf installation was inspired by Beatnick;, Steve Gorrow embarked on a journey beneath the sea to explore the depths of the mind and creativity. Along with the help of his brother, Steve shipped out to Bali to take on the massive feat of building above and beneath the sea to give birth to the latest Insight surf spectacle, and that is Dopamine. Not one to cut corners on creativity, Steve combined upside down bedrooms, naked girls on motor bikes and underwater shanty towns with the amazing skill of the Insight surf team (surfnics) and the photographic talents of Dustin Humphrey to create an array of split double world madness. Welcome to Insight's latest surf campaign featuring surfers Kai Otton, Luke Stedman, Warren Smith, Jared Mell, Made Lana,Jason Apparicio & The Jamaican Surf Team."

Paris, je t'aime

2010-02-12T07:06:00.000+11:00

The styling in this photo shoot is amazing; I love the use of layers and various textured fabrics. I wish I could transport myself to Paris now; instead I’ll buy a pair of black fish net stockings as a small consolation.

The New IT Girl - Sky Ferreira

2010-02-10T07:59:00.000+11:00

Not only can this 17 year old Los Angeles based model strike a killer pose she also has an amazing voice, check it out http://www.myspace.com/skyferreira . With a set of skills to kill, we’re set to see and hear a lot more of Sky Ferreira.

Gelato Prints

2010-02-06T01:33:00.000+11:00

These summery hues inspire me to brighten up my all black wardrobe and invest in several high quality prints this season. My favourite design is the digitally printed Josh Goot dress featured in Vogue (March 2010) modelled by Abbey Lee Kershaw.
