What I Wore - My Homage to Hugh

What I Wore - My Homage to Hugh

Little Red gig and house party in Slurrrrrry Hills a couple of weeks ago.

I wore a black dress of some sort, my Henry Holland suspender tights, and a lace headband from Japan, with wire inside twisted in a bow... It was chilly so I chucked on my ridic vintage floor length red velvet robe with fur collar... And YES I looked like a crazy person! Crazy like a billionaire media mogul! Gimme some of that crazy amiright.

PS Things Bogans Like: Playboy logos. Yikes. Yes, *i* with the velvet robe am judging you.

Going through old scans of my work... I wish I had more time to go to life drawing sessions. To be honest, these days I do fuck all with myself besides be awesome at Bejeweled! I kind of took some time off after I graduated, lost all momentum, and now I am in a creative rut. Love my job, but I need more to do! As Betty Draper says, "Only boring people are bored".

What I Wore - Karaokay

What I Wore - Karaokay

Zara dress, sheer striped socks from Tokyo, Miu Miu platforms.

I remember a time when socks and sandals were so reviled, so revolting, they would only have been worn by fat tourists traipsing town with their backpacks firmly strapped to their front packs. Fast forward to post Burberry SS10. Nothing could stop me from wearing these damn socks and sandals last Friday night. Rain, hail, or... No shine. So so cold round here! Lucky I had my shoju jacket on - that's Korea-town's equivalent to a beer jacket - and enjoyed sing-a-longs with some furiously wasted friends at karaoke.

And a couple more here.

Now I'm a lover not a fighter but I do love a bit of military styling. Dazed takes it to another level with this editorial. Love the use of red. Love creepy babyface. And does anyone else feel like eating spaghetti?

Four words to get me off?

POP UP SALE STORE

(two more: FURTHER REDUCTIONS)

Dangerous times for the penny jar as two of Sydney's coolest fashion labels set up (pop up) shop. Both stores open til Sunday, so get in quick... After me.

Ellery: Goulburn St, next to Pablo's Vice and opposite The Lounge. Checked it out yesterday - prices start from $80 and there's a decent selection of stock from blazers (small sizes), to boots (big sizes). Unfortunately I'm big size, small size, that order. Dang!



And my favourite, Josh Goot: 433 Oxford St Paddington (Next to Max Brenner).



Here he is spilling blood sweat and dirt putting it all together.

PS Aussie stylist Romy Frydman's blog StyleMeRomy is my new favourite read! The new Garance Dore?

What I wore... "Fuck yeah skorts" edition

What I wore... "Fuck yeah skorts" edition

Black tee, Lover Zulu print shorts, House of Holland for Pretty Polly tights, Nine West Cuzza boots

I have been wearing this outfit, or variations of it, a lot.

Now, I hate the idea of stockings with shorts generally but in my mind these work because they're cut like culottes... Or SKORTS!! I love a good 90's throwback, and nothing is more 90's than skorts except maybe a white tshirt under a black slip dress. I am positive an Olsen/Sevigny is contemplating that very combination right now - if it hasn't already happened.

The House of Holland/Pretty Polly's are my favourite tights at the moment - they make me feel super sexual without actually flashing any flesh at all. I've already gone through 3 pairs - not because they're particularly delicate, but because I tend to gravitate towards lit fires.

It's that time again! My favourite brand of undies that I never wear - Agent Provocateur - is now on sale... Enter AP10 at the checkout for an additional 10% off. I finally picked up the leopard body suit which I missed out when they were on sale last year. Rawr!

What I Wore

What I Wore

H&M waterfall jacket, Camilla & Marc Christiana dress, Vanilla Suite shoes

Can't help but feel a little Beetlejuicy in this new favourite jacket o mine. Paired with lace-up wedges and a dress with just enough under-boob, the combination is more Footlocker Wench than undead miscreant, and perfect for a Saturday night dranking.
