My top three sunny photos on The Sartorialist right now. Jonathan Saunders colour palette is all kinds of ridiculous amazingness.



I discovered my love for the combination of olive and periwinkle blue just this Saturday whilst trying on two separate pieces that ended up looking as though they were designed to be bought/worn together. Chance meetings, unexpected coupling and perfect fits are wonderful things that can not and simply must not be ignored. I bought both pieces.

Let me at her. Reow. Best use of cleavage in an ediotrial this year.

If/when I decide to start dressing like a girl I will do it Badgley Mischka style. I feel particularly at ease with the first three shapes/proportions. The tones are delectable and as if the girls aren't the sweetest, prettiest, freshest little spring chickens you've ever seen?

The 6 seconds from 0:42-0:48 make the other 54 seconds of soft porn almost completely bearable.

Late night, last shift, left over flowers from a function, delirious at my desk with my lamp way too bright.

Is everyone enjoying Spring transition? I'm starting to smell it in the air and see it in the light.

Eighteen is my favourite number so I will stop there. ETA: Twentyone is actually my favourite number. Sixtythree and eightynine are pretty good too. I'm currently figuring out the mathematical similarities/significance of these - I'll get back to you on that one.

The wait.

I hope you don't know that I'm in love with you.
It's no secret to almost anyone but you.
I have been living out our romance through song lyrics, stories and pictures.
I find myself clinging to any piece of you that I find in fictional characters - I swear they are more accessible than you right now.
I guess I am a romantic but I also hope that I am a realist.

relate

I will preempt my next statement but saying I get lazy looking through collections online so more often that not after looking at only one collection I declare that it's my favourite of the season. Charlotte Ronson is my favourite of the season.

Nothing is just as it is. Don't wear a dress without a jumper tied around you, or a maxi skirt without a belt and layered basics, or shoes without socks, or a two piece set without an unessential but somehow completely necessary third. Yah. This is mostly the way I dress.

I can't quite put my finger on what this group has in common but I keep being drawn to pictures that have you imagining the underlying stories of solitude or loneliness. Images that make you feel what's brewing beneath that painfully beautiful exterior.

Getting together inspiration for upcoming shoots.
