creative guts.

The worst thing is getting all inspired right before I attempt sleep. Normally as soon as I hit the pillow I am dead to the world, but in these instances my mind buzzes, continually. The seemingly good ideas keep coming. I'm thankful for my trusty notepad and pen beside my bed, but once I start…

manspiration :: dkny.

Boxing Day is the one day of the year where you are allowed to get as fat as possible, be absolutely lazy and play mountains of board games. Actually, that is the aim.  Gorge yourself until you have a serious food coma, and keep going. Then start a serious diet tomorrow. At least try to.…

model musings :: binx walton.

Isn't she just oozing coolness? If I had to come up for a visual definition of absolute-hipster-looks-amazing-in-anything-even-xxxxxl-shirts, it would hands down be Binx Walton. She has the attitude, or the guts, I wish I had. Walk out of the house wearing whatever you want, bring a bit of quirk back into the world, and a…

reliving :: adam lippes.

I came across a great great quote the other day, sitting in one of my favourite ever books, The Fashionable Selby. Simon Doonan says, "…great fashion needs craft and skill and artisan magic. Without these qualities it (fashion) was soulless and pointless and had no enduring quality." So evident in Adam Lippes' ingenious, classic silhouettes…

xoxo alice mccall.

When I get a little piece of her, one day, I will know I have made it in life. Yes, that is one of the most materialistic things I could ever say, but I just adore everything Alice. My sneaky dotti dress, which to the unkowing eye comes across as a lovely Alice McCall number,…

process of my mind.

It doesn't seem quite right to post about all those fashion fads and ramblings at the moment, considering the intense couple of days we have had in Sydney. It's something words can't even describe, especially not my words. But I feel for absolutely everyone who has been affected by this, and my prayers go out…

dutch for a day 2.0.

Unfortunately we are now back from another weekend in Ulladulla. Finally time to relax and switch off (didn't even look at my computer once, which is absolute craziness). I read so much, laid about so much, soaked up the sun so much, and ate great food. Exactly what the doctor ordered. Every time we get…

books books everywhere.

Doing my constant magazine catch-up yesterday I found out about the Michelberger Hotel (thank you Elle for taking me to Berlin for a minute, and off the boring train ride home). Firstly, I just really want to go to Berlin now. I imagine the scene as a much more European-ised, genuine hipster-ised Melbourne. So all…

take a white shirt.

It goes so far. Every outfit needs that basic element before you start layering on top. Make it a bit hipster with a knitted number, or super sleek with a sexy skirt. Or just have plain fun with it. Winter or summer it doesn't matter. My current plain white count is very few, so it's…

musings :: gerri the boho.

I'm not going to say Very Good Girls was a great film, or even a good one, but I did keep watching. The only thing stopping me from the constant phone fidget was waiting for Gerri's (Elizabeth Olsen) next outfit. She rocked the ultimate boho babe look. An Olsen would be the only girl worthy…
