Sweet Bird of Youth

all at once the world felt overhwhelming

Sometimes I feel as though I'm saving up pictures to post at a later date....sometimes I forget I have literally thousands of images to share and I'm pretty sure my harddrive is about to crash - so I better stop saving and better get posting!
Photos/Illustrations: various. Ask for specifics

three by four

Really love this little collage found on General Pants webiste. A little quirky, arty and interesting yet still slick and appealing.
Theres a label associated with each picture....can you guess them?? (no points for the Levis and Wrangler!)

cut paste

If collaging was a job I would definately apply. Theres nothing that I love more than finding, collecting, grouping, cutting, arranging, pasting pictures together.

Collage: Myself....'Rebel with a Cause'

As an after thought...I'm sure it is a job. Art director, editor, layout graphic something-a-rather. Note to self: find out specific role and requirements.

I'm sorry but...

...FIERCE is the only word that is coming to mind. I can't even explain or pinpoint what it is about this editorial that I find so fascinating.
Also, am I the only one finding that guy majorly attractive? Could it be to do with my fetish for men pushing prams? Mmm maybe.

wall-E

Slowly but surely my inspiration wall will grow. I have subconsciously picked up on a red, yellow, black&white theme. To be continued.....

In other news, I maybe not so subconsciously ended up looking like Britney Spears, Hit Me Baby One More Time style, at a back-to-school dress up party on Saturday - I opted for a more liberal uniform that allowed for a leather skirt and gold brogues, my old tartan kilt wasn't quite working. I am both amused and disgusted at what school uniforms do to the male species and their sick minds which must be based on about 99% fantasy 1% reality...It was a fun night none the less. See cheesy photo below for outfit.

Blonde/blue eyes don't really do it for me (as a massive generalisation) but I find this girl/these pictures really quite striking.

Aboslutley adore these pen ink & watercolour prints by Gabriel Moreno. I can't wait til I'm rich enough to start buying art.

back to front

Open publication - Free publishing - More russh

Arrived in my mailbox Mon and have already read front to back multiple times, getting something new with each view. Lots and lots to read and pour my eyes over with a STUNNING cover to boot. Ugh I want to be part of the Russh team.............one day.

P.s. How cutes this preview thing?!

all me

Breathtaking! Vogue China does some really amazing editorial work

upgrade

What used to be an overwhelming, time consuming/wasting (but completely neccesary) trawl through net-a-porter has now been mastered down to an artful click and super swift scan of each page, immediately being able to recognise what is 'me' and ignoring what is not - as beautiful and luxe as it all may be.

Above is the cull of what I would work into my current wardrobe for a fresh start to Spring...it is already in the air. LOVES it

Speaking of things in the air, last week I had the life knocked out of me with a sudden case of swine flu. I think I had been slowing down before for other reasons but now that I am better will hopefully be back on blogging bandwagon.

just the way it is

Putting together a few photos from my outfit inspo/sartorialist folder I tried to figure out what ties my photos together...the only thing I could see for this particular lot were legs.They're everywhere!
After losing what boobs I had and loved (yeah I dunno what your thinking about that comment but whatevs I'm a woman and I really do love feeling that way ;) )when I lost some weight, I turned to t-shirts and higher necklines but compensating with shorter hemlines. One asset at a time ladies. I have now regained some of what was lost but have generally kept with this outfit proportion.

boom

3 parties tonight, 3 diff outfits, 3 recently single friends, and will be waking up to a 29 degree (celcius) "winter" day tomorrow.
Oh sweet sweet life.

see the light

Wrist(and finger) junk is all the go at the moment and on other people I quite like, if not occasionaly admire, it. My personal daily jewellery routine includes a simple bangle, watch and bracelet on the one wrist but in saying that I am all about the single statement piece...with maybe a couple of very subtle supporting acts for some depth.

These photos took my breath away.
