CAMILLA AND MARC

Australian Fashion Week is showing us what we’ll be wearing all too soon.  This is definitely one of my favourites – Camilla and Marc. Lots of layering, different textures and sculptural sexy separates, cool and sophisticated.

ALEXANDER WANG WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

I feel like all the blogs I read right now are referencing Alexander Wang, either through DIY-ing an article to replicate a Wang or for his amazing simple designs.  So I went on my favourite online store – La Garconne – how much do you love them, and found some Wang pieces:

CAMOUFLAGE AND ILLUSION-TESSA BLAZEY

I just found this tough Melbourne jeweler Tessa Blazey. Her work feels very architectural, very urban planning city council.

CHAINS

I just found these amazing chain harness necklace/body wear through Badlooking’s blog.  Genius jewels from Bliss Lau

LEGS 11

Look how beautiful this weather is turning!!  Time to get your pins out.  Loving these from Urban Outfitters, the perfect transition.

RING A RING A BAD ASS

Today I felt like looking a little bad ass, which is kind of convenient since I nearly used the brass two finger ring I had chosen for it’s original purpose. But like a superhero, I’d rather not…You know when you think someone is watching you, you’re probably right. I came out of Walgreens – flick off that disgust I needed a magazine and some bubble wrap – was waiting at the lights to cross the street. You get a feeling someone is just a little bit too close and indeed the are. Like, in your pocket too close, some high as a kite dude had decided to stick to me like glue (no pun intended). Even when I stopped in the middle of the road as I was crossing the street. Precaution prevailed and I waited until I safely crossed the street to stop properly and face him and tell him to quit following me. At the exact same moment a helpful lady yelled at him through her car window and distracted him, and yelled if I was okay. A little shaky but otherwise fine, until I realized I was walking in the wrong direction and would have to back track to get home. Calm and able to laugh at the fact I was so polite I proceeded with fist at the ready wondering what it would actually feel like to hit someone, to have the nerve to hit someone, to connect skin to skin in violence.

Today we can say I don’t know.

PURE RIGHT – OLSEN HAUS

If ever my Pre-disastered bags were to marry some shoes, these would definitely be a union I would approve of. Visit Olsen Haus for full collection.  Okay, so she’s strictly vegan and I’m pretty much not, but like Romeo and Juliet, surely we could figure something out..

IT’S FREE SUN, SON

I feel like with summer practically around the corner, outdoor dining is pretty much a must.  Here is an alternative to candles bought to you by Suck UK – orginal design by Tobias Wong

HEY FATHEAD! – VICTOR OSBORNE

For a couple of years I have been envious of friends of mine who wear hats at any occasion. I once had the pleasure of spending Thanksgiving with them and shared in their enormous collection of hats which became the definite theme for the evening, that , the turkey, replica hand pistols and Prince.

I love hats but they don’t always love me. I have curly hair and as fellow curly heads will know, once it’s on, you can’t take if off or your tresses look like grass that’s been sat on by a cow. I can’t say this has ever put me off but it certainly slows me down. So this brings me to Victor Osborne’s promise to fit any fat headed , fro-fest lopsided cranium you may have.

I am pleased to also note that I found them quite by accident. I am currently in the market for an appartment and I wondered around all close-ish areas adjacent to where I live right now in order to scope out possible streets for my dream one bedroom on today this gorgeous Spring day. I was heading home with sore feet from walking and walking and passed a store front with dog lolling around the entrance (immediately drawn by the dog, secondly by what may be inside) and blackled them when I got home. Cue video at this point which you will have to watch for yourself here. As Victor and Zachary talk about why you need their hats on your head.
