the sustainers :: u&i.

The U&I girls epitomise the perfect gal pal friendship, like long lost sisters who instantly bond and want to spend every moment together. They also happen to be inspiringly creative and talented. Enough to get my sickening jealousy started. The girls, Jodie Hayes (fashion designer from Melbourne) and Emma Bäcklund (designer and photographer from Sweden),…

old school :: emanuel ungaro.

This has been on my list of topics to add to the blog for a long while, and I’ve finally decided to do something about it. In today’s world we don’t pay enough attention to those creative souls before us, or at least those outside of Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo (obviously well-deserving, and absolutely…

the checklist of life.

Sometimes we need a necessary time out from the world, and people, and all those messages we get bombarded with each day. I've been doing this a lot more lately than I actually should - putting a relaxed night in before a weeknight adventure - as I've been feeling the strains of decision making. So…

manspiration :: dior homme ss16.

Today was a bit of nothing, other than finally starting Making a Murderer, and seeing Ben and Leslie get engaged. Happy happy times. The men have been a bit neglected on here the last few months - not quite fair when there have been some great shows and flawless tailoring about. Here we have some…

anatomy of :: choked up.

I’ve decided that today, instead of loading on another existential pondering load of words, we will just look at pretty pictures instead. Break away from the current mould and get back to the greatness of fashion and those who create it. My obsession with the choker is next level. Some are worried about my knack…

wisconsinite for a day.

I’ve uncovered something interesting about myself - I think I am scared of forgetting, everything. A part of me wants to perfectly remember every single moment of life, to not let anything pass me by, and then recall with such clarity in the future. Talking about primary school often makes me anxious - I worry…

feb goals.

I’ve started setting a few goals each month - a new thing for 2016, in my aim to actually get things done. They are a bit of a mixed bag, from the super achievable and material, to the more existential and emotional. Sometimes it will be a stress, an added pressure that I don’t necessarily…
