Sponsored video: RIVER ISLAND get your VOGUE OFF on

Attention please all you friendly blog readers! You know I don't post things I don't like...in fact just last night I was involved in a discussion that had me refuting the fact I've never done anything I don't like. What I could come up with was 1) eating fish when I was a kid and b) making my bed, also when I was a kid. Evidently I ended up losing that argument - but gaining an anecdote to back me up on the fact you should definitely watch the above video.

Watch it...

go on....

don't worry, I'm waiting....

Genius, right?! Voice over guy I want to take you out with me on the weekend. Dance floors all over Sydney would seriously benefit from someone cleverly and oh so delightfully taking the p*ss. Fine, Marloes you can come cause you're a TOTAL minx and Sid, you too. I really like your Angry Janitor move. Me being me must mention the gorgeous, warm, beautifying light used throughout. Very nicely done by JN Motion. 

I was rather chuffed with the prompting to rediscover River Island online as I did a quick browse with tomorrows schedule of work -> date night in mind, and came out with this combo in less time than it takes me to drink a cup of tea. If they can make you dance with Marloes Horst surely they can find a way to express ship to Australia?!

lover.

I want to start posting outfit photos again but frick I get awkward. Think I'll have to get into the selfies. Feel a lot more comfortable with just me, my 5D and a remote.
We decided he looks like a weathered old photographer who's just come back from a jungle safari in this photo...but that's totally ok, babe.



Dinner involved a grass fed black angus 250gram tenderloin and a poorly matched but very tasty Mai Tai. Happy Birthday to meee! Getting dressed involved what is quickly becoming my go-to Lover dress where I swapped the usual nude slip for a black one and added Mum's black belt instead of the fabric tie just for a bit of kick. Some features include; the ability to be worn with flats, some modesty length at the back, a no iron floaty fabric, stand out colour (I irrevocably will associate that magical red with this years S/S White Serpent collection), no special strategical undergarment requirements, button up, or down, depending on occasion and it's is suitable for seasonal layering...this really does tick my boxes of a more-than-one-wear investment 'occasions' dress.

greetings from paradise

 

 

 

This post is about sunshine, smiles, silliness and encapsulates my hopes for the summer that is coming to Sydney soon, please Lord VERY soon.

It's not just the girls it's the photo's, but it's just not the photo's it's the girls. Healithy obsessed with everything that is seen through Ms Maya Villigers lense.

days gone by

*keepin it real with fluffy hair but so not ideal for picture taking

Some wonderful moments were had this weekend just gone. One being the time we spent on Saturday afternoon after the shop had shut and we were left with nothing but the 3pm sun, ciders, salad and sweet 90's disco tunes.
Other highlights include; the balmy night on a pretty rooftop with fairy lights and a spectacular view of the city, old friends, swimming in the ocean as the sky was grey and rain started to fall, chai to warm from said ocean swim, good company, brunching alongside Tobey Maguire and co, carrot cake cupcakes for my beautiful friend and her birthday picnic, afternoon sun, goodnight kisses & giggles.

How was your weekend?

Preempting spring with a late lunch of squid ink spaghetti washed down by a lazy sunset with my love.

everyday is Saturday

This photo needs a story but time is of the essence right now so I will keep my story to myself and let you make yours.
My hand looks like a dinosaur but we had a wonderful night none the less.
We like dancing, people watching, honesty, eyes, piercing eyes, characters, fur, gin & apple, heart explosions, taxi drivers & last but never least we love love.
We don't like (most) men in Sydney.

There is nothing I don't love in these images. Military jackets, fur, green leather with gold hardware, laceups, black jeans, sweaters, studded laceups, hoodies, tough brown leather.

The Visitor

Teorema by Pier Paolo Pasolini

"A strange visitor in a wealthy family. He seduces the maid, the son, the mother, the daughter and finally the father before leaving a few days after. After he's gone, none of them can continue living as they did. Who was that visitor?"

Enter new kids on the block, LP33.3 - one the finest labels Australia has had to offer in a long time.

"Like the film, the collection echoes a restrained desire and minimal sophistication that is at once modern and refined."

With a focus on fabric and craftsmanship LP33.3 simply screams luxe and brings a strong sense of boutiquey high end sophistication that has been missing from the AU market...until now.
My pick of the collection is the Shattered Dreams bell sleeve blouse - preorder is in and can hardly wait to have it's delicious double silk georgette hand stitched chantilly lace goodness in my hands ready to rock for this coming A/W. Eeeeeexcited!

Mark this as a one to watch. LP33.3

This photo & the story that goes with it almost sums up Halloween 2010 for me. Almost...but not quite, so expect more on this topic in the not too distant future.

I'm going camping for the weekend! So er yeah, I'll let you know how that goes. I'm taking a proper big comfy mattress which is going to prove to be either the best or worst idea I've had all week.
I'm not a princess yo. I just recognise that the spinal cord is the most important organ (nerve, tissue, system, whatever) in the body and must be treated with due care.

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.

crazy beautiful

Jumping on The Streethearts bandwagon. The people they shoot are like these soft beautiful friendly creatures with flawless skin who throw on outfits of perfect tone and proportion and (semi)avoid trends but are trends in themselves but ones that will last forever and ever and just so happen to be walking the streets where streets look like postcards with that magic European light and well yeah I just love it.

P.S. Sylvia (first and last photo), if I were a boy I'd be in love with you.

Arnsdorf. I'm going to start a small section of my closet purely dedicated to this label. I lived in a pale pink button-up all summer long, since aquired a khaki green one of the same style and plan to wear my indigo high waisted's till there is no more 4% elastane (NB: this translates to 10 points on the comfort scale) left.






Next on the list; 100% silk folded collar shirt in Rust and skivvy dress in Rouge (or Ink or Nude for that matter) please and thank you.
