A month or two ago my good friend Isaac gifted me a copy of L’Officiel upon return from his trip to Paris. I’d never heard of it. As you might have been able to establish, the magazine’s french. And being french, it’s in french. I don’t speak french. At all. But I don’t need to speak french to look at the pictures (which I have, dozens and dozens of times over) and I don’t need to speak french to establish how amazing that cover girl is. Which brings me to the point of this post:

Bedhead.

As much as I’d like to be tidy and put-together, I’m not. I’m generally unkempt. My cardigans have holes in them, my t-shirts are always coming untucked and my laces undone. My hairdresser (and mother) will be horrified to read this, but it’s not uncommon for me to leave the house without brushing my hair. I like falling out braids and messy, wispy bits. I like bed hair.

Karl shoots Abbey Lee and Freja in New York, for his A/W 10-11 Chanel campaign:

Often when I see campaign images I forget about what’s going on ‘backstage’ and how much work is really put into those things. I love this photo. It’s a glimpse behind the scenes.

Typefaces as dog breeds.

I don’t even like dogs that much, but I like this. The bow tie on the ‘Times‘ dog – amazing!

Sunday movie moment.

Published on March 29, 2010 in Films. 0 Comments

Better late than never, right? It’s technically Monday now (being 12.56am), and I am so, so tired and have a 7.30am breakfast meeting in the morning, but I’m all about commitment to my Sunday movie moment posts so here it is:

Derek: “I always think that ah, if I was in love I’d be married by now… but I’m not.”

Charlyne: “Well have you ever said ‘I love you’ to somebody?”

Derek: “I’m pretty quick to say ‘I love you’, just ’cause I feel like I don’t want them to run away…”

Bargain city.

This is a not-so-good-quality picture of a package I received yesterday:

In it, three t-shirts I ordered from as colour. Three end-of-line girls ‘lily’ t-shirts. Three end-of-line girls ‘lily’ t-shirts for the sweet, sweet price of $12.00. Holy. Moly. Bargain. City. I usually get the mens ‘paper’ tees, but at this price how could I refuse?

SKOR!

I am not a big candy bar fan these days. I had come across Hershey’s ‘SKOR‘ bar a number of times over the past year, but never seemed to be interested enough to purchase. That all changed a week ago.

Please, please, please, let me get what I want.

And what I want (amongst many, many other things – note, I am being very greedy) includes these things:

I’ve thrown out so many clothes that I need to start again! I need basics! I need these basics (clockwise from top left):

Frankly, I don't get it.

Before I start, I know this isn’t going to make me popular. I undertake this with full knowledge that I am opening myself up to abuse from fashionistas all over the show. But I’m doing it anyway.

Lately I’ve been seeing these shoes everywhere. They’re the latest and greatest thing to have. They’re by Beau Coops. Now, I’m not talking about the brand, I actually like quite a few of the styles that have come out of the Australian based collection. (I say Australian based because Carrie Cooper – the designer – is New Zealand born). In fact, I like pretty much every shoe she’s designed, especially, especially these:

Oooooh, and these:

But we’re not talking about those, we’re talking about something slightly different. We’re talking about these:

Postcarden.

Published on March 23, 2010 in Art & Design, Awesome Things and Food. 0 Comments

I am not much of a gardener. In fact, I’m not exactly much of an ‘outdoorsy’ person. I hardly ever dine al fresco, even. That’s how weirded out I am by the elements. The constant-feeling-of-cold and irrational-fear-of-insects will do that for you. Nerd much? Yes. However, despite the fact that a good 80% of me would feel much more comfortable in the safety of indoors as opposed to being surrounded by (*gulp*) nature, I do love this mini-garden, the ‘Postcarden‘:

The title says it all. Fabric and MRKT are exclusively stocking pieces from Opening Ceremony, including the cute, striped denim trim skirt that I love – as seen on Julia Frakes (whom I also love). Get your shop on now!

Highly organised – a week later.

You probably aren’t that interested, but I have to post this because I’m so proud of myself. One whole week later and my room is still clean! I promised better photos, and here they are. So I don’t exactly have a duvet cover for my duvet inner yet (and the bed isn’t exactly made), and there are is a small pile of odds and ends that still need throwing out/relocating (I have conveniently left these out of the photo), and maybe the wardrobe is still a little bit of a mess but hooray anyway, because despite these facts, it is still pretty much the tidiest I have ever been in my entire life.

She and Him: Volume Two.

The new She and Him album is released tomorrow, but until then you can stream the whole album here. It’s very easy listening. I like it but I do have to admit I have only heard it through twice and that I am a little (read: a lot) in love with Zooey Deschanel, so my opinion is not exactly the most impartial.

Jerry: “How come you never got married Mr. Fletcher?”

Elroy Fletcher: “Well, the common story is, the girl that you’s gon’ ask, you waited too long to ask,”

“…She went on to marry somebody else, and then you can’t find anybody to compare to her – so what happens?…”

Oh pants.

Pants are my new obsession. Yes, pants. It may sound like a ridiculous obsession because everyone wears pants, right? Wrong. I always wear jeans. Jeans are not the same.

For the last week or two, I have been borrowing (read: quasi-stealing) pants from others to wear. My brother’s suit pants etc. It’s been good. So good in fact, that I’ve been thinking it’s time to get my own.
