A happy mistake.

Published on May 31, 2010 in Awesome Things, Models and Photography. 3 Comments

Whenever I hear that phrase, ‘a happy mistake’ or ‘a good mistake’, I immediately think of unplanned children. But anyhow, that’s kind of irrelevant, kind of inappropriate, and beside the point.

Let’s start again with the actual point.

Last week I inadvertently took this photo:

I didn’t intend to. They were too close to me, I was trying to walk backwards and take photos at the same time. I released the shutter. It was an accident. A mistake.

Big call, but it’s probably the best mistake I ever made.

How good do these two look?!

And how amazing do those AS Colour crew-neck sweaters look on?!

Jeremy.

Look who it is! Hot on the heels of Derya and Emily, another New Zealand model has popped up on the fashion-interwebs! Jeremy Bowden (from 62) appears on The Fashionisto in a full-on, all-Louis Vuitton editorial for Men’s Uno Hong Kong.

Not bad, huh? I love the above photo.

A couple more below, see the rest here.

First Kiss.

Do you remember your first kiss? I do. Quite vividly. It was pushed up against a brick wall behind a sports shed at the park near my parent’s house. I was fourteen and so was he. We were ‘dating’ if that’s what you want to call it.

Friend of mine.

So… I kind of want these:

Whaddaya think?

They’re called the ‘Eastwood Ankle Boot’. They’re by Melbourne-based label, ‘Friend of Mine‘, and I really do think that they should be friends of mine. Friends of my feet that is.

First of all, they’re low enough to be comfortable, but they’re not flats. This is awesome for both comfort and style factors. Secondly they’ve got those buckles and zips and capped toes which makes them tough-I-ride-motorbikes-like, but the fact that the trims are gold and not too chunky mean they’re not too kick-you-in-the-teeth-gangstrrr-like. (I made those phrases up, can you tell?) The perfect friends for my feet, no?

So, as much as I’d love a pair of these to wear whilst roaming the streets, at NZ$505.00 I can’t really justify them right now (especially on my damn financial diet). Sad face. But I do have hope! I know someone out there can afford these! You – yes you! I think you should do it! You can get them here.

Today is Isaac’s birthday!

To celebrate this momentous occasion, whilst trying to keep this post quasi-fashion-blog-related, here’s a quick clip of him after the Ksubi RAFW show a few weeks back:

HAAAPPPPPPPY BIIRRTTHHHHDDAAAY ISAAC!

Three cheers and the like!

PS: Gonna hit up the Red Bull tonight?

Bye bye fringe, hello braids.

After all the debates and discussions and backs and forths, I’m finally growing out my fringe. It’s gotten to the stage where it’s just passed the tip of my nose and I’m staying strong. Usually by now, it would have been cut back to it’s rightful place (just under the eyebrows). This is not to say I haven’t had lapses where I think I just need my bangs back, but I’m proud to say that I’ve perservered my way through the first stage of the grow-out! I’m doing quite well if I do say so myself.

It’s pictures like these that keep me going. These beauty shots are from the latest Vogue Nippon, and were taken by Nathaniel Goldberg. The long braids on Dree are fantastic. I would like them muchly.
And on an unrelated note, what about that glowing skin? Crazy. See a couple more below.
